AS the child's range of observa-
ton increases. doll play ought to be-
come more varied and educative. A
child who is given a suggestion now
and again will readily develop a high
degree of imaginative feeling with
regard to dolls. all of which may be
vastly important for intellectual de-
velopment. Suppose a child has FIVE
or six dolls of different sizes and APP
pearance. Each one may be made to
personify a member of the family or
some person in the neihborhood; or
a character in history or in some
story which she has heard. Then
these characters may be made to act
their parts in little drama There
is no experience in human life which
is more absorbing than these play
dramatics in early childhood; and il
must be impressed that in this play
the child is simply taking mental pos
session of the world around him. II
he did not dramatize life. he would
not learn it.
An observing parent must have
noted hi childs passion to play q
part Every living thing he sees

Now he is cat, now a dog, now one
of his playmates, and so on ad libit
UNI. Do you see what this means fol
development? Suppose, for instanc,
that a child five years of age visits &
blacksmith. When he comes home
you may find him shoeing horses al
the time. Anything will answer fol
the horse. All the child is concern
ed with is the shoeing. In perform
ing this activity he is really learnins
about it,
What an advantage it would be t,
your child if he could utilize the OBJ
iects in his home so far as possible
to carry on his limitations. Perhap
you have looked upon these play &C
ttvities only as an annoyances, an
have felt that they should be sup
pressed. But greater harm coul
scarcely be done child than to pre-
vent him from initiating and person
flying the people and things abou
him.

PIOCHE EXTENDS THE INVITA-
TION.

The officials OF the Salt Lake
Route and those of the Union Pa
cifc would be heartily welcomed and
given every opportunity TO look over
the Phoebe District and every assis-
lance would be granted to enable
them to judge of tonnage and values
existing underground and it is really
surprising that they should show so
little interest in personally inspect
ing the mines when these mines are
and can again be made valuable as
sets to the railroad. The Phoebe dis
trict during 1920 shipped a larger
tonnage for longer distance than
any other mining district in Nevada
and at the same time no mining en-
gineer, representing the Salt Lake
Route. which line enjoyed the i'm
mense revenue from this traffic, has
ever looked over the district with a
view of eonservinb this valuable rev.
enue and cooperating with and as
sitting the mining properties in mar
keting an increased tonnage; on the
contrary in the face of every argu-
ment raised by mine operators, the
railroad levied and collected a pro-
hibitiye freight rate and lost the
former valuable revenue almost
completely, grave mistake that
could have been avoided by mining
engineering advice.
The Phoebe District extends to the
officials of the Salt Lake Route and
those of the Union Pacific a cordial
invitation to visit Phoebe at any time
and the mines and underground
workings are open to their inspec-
ton and every effort will be made by
the Phoebe Commercial club and the
mine operators of the district to
show visiting aftiCials every possible
courtesy as guests OF the community.

Nature commands the normal

things at his command to reproduce

The child who gallops of on his

hemay need to do later in life. In
this simple action he is using his
senses TO get information, and then,
most important of all, he is making
this information his own by actually
doing the act. This is the only way
he can learn it. He cannot even per-
eieve accurately until he is under the
necessity of reproducing the thing
he is perceiving, or adapting him
self to it in some way Nature will
not develop any faculty unless there
is need FORT. II the child could get
all he wants without becoming
sharp in sight. hearing, taste. touch
and smell, he never would acquire
any keenness through any of his
senses.
The child who has a large sand
pile in which he may make pies,
build houses, and so on, has a better
chance to develop his intelligence
than child who is not so favored

GIFTS OUT OF THE. ORDINARY
Fryino-Pan for Queen vletoria-Man
Gives Wife Five Pounds 70
Buy Washstand.

At HE king Of Siam used to
send Queen Victoria a very
curious gift every Christ
~ mas. It may have been
want Of imagination, or hA
may have heard that the frying-pan
was the curse Of the English cook, and
thought they must want constantly
renewing. Whatever the reason, her
majesty received a silver fryng-pan
as regularly as Christmas came round.
Thomas Carlyle once quite forgot to
buy a Christmas gift for his wife.
There Is nothing unique about this.
Other men have done the same Nor
is there anything particularly generous
in the way he made up for his neglect
to remember the day. He wrote the
following letter:
'4The prophecy Of washstand to
the neatest Of all women. Blessings
on her bonnie face, and be 1t ever
blithesome as It is dear, blithe or not.
IT. Carlyle. December rs, 1850"
The great man did really give his
wife five pounds with which to buy
the promised washstand, at which he,
no doubt, washed quite as often as
she did. But that's man all over.

NOW Molly TOOK ner turn IN reJOlc-
ing. She danced about the room. Her
face was pink and her eyes sparkled
like an overjoyed child's. "We must
get the toys ready for the children" !"
she said, and Immediately went OF to
make new dress for doll.
The next noon, George and Molly
were standing on the station platform,
trembling with excitement. The by
ISLANDERS could tell that something un-
usual was happening for the old peo-
pie. Finally the train came.
There they are! see Jane and
Helen Where is Henry?" cried Molly.
"Here, Mother" answered her boy
and he picked her up and kissed her.
"Didn't know me, did you?"
That afternoon, the big doors to the
living room were kept closed. The chill
dren suspected nothing for they were
busy exploring the farm.
In the evening after they cama
from church, the doors to the living
room were opened; the children were
so happy that they danced about the
tree and excitedly grabbed one parcel
after another. In their excitement
they could not unite the packages 80
their father and mother and grand
parents were called upon to help.
Helen came to her grandfather with
all Of hers, but Junior was not so par
tial. After the children had seen all
their presents, and the others had ex-
changed theirs, Helen and Junior sang
songs and spoke Christmas pieces.
After the candles were lighted, lit
tie Helen came tripping over to her
grandfather, "Come dance around the
tree with me and my dolly, Grand
father"
mo, no, Helen I'm too old to dance
and romp," he answered.
"George," interrupted Molly "those
are the same words you used the day
I found you sleeping in the armchair
after reading old letters"

through his tousled hair. "Tell me

through his tousled hair. "Tell me
about it."
IT was reading some Of the letters
from Henry, for I'd been thinking Of
him all day." began her husband.
.The last letter I read was the one
we got from him last year just before
Christmas. in which he told us how he
and Jane were planning Christmas for
the youngsters, and how he hoped that
another year he would be home with
us. i sat here recalling the many
Christmases you and / had planned
for our children. Molly, do you re-
member the year we had the Uglow
boys over for Christmas ever he ex-
citedly continued, half rising from his
chair as the happy past came back to
his mind in jumbled snatches. 4 can
see them now, the four boys and two
girls sitting around this very stove,
telling the Christmas stories which
they had learned in school. Then, how
their eyes bulged and their mouths
opened when Santa came into the
room. The children danced with glee,
but the girls were bit timid. The
boys, however, were real chummy and
asked Santa many embarrassing ques-
tions about his trips.
All this he said slowly, pausing now
and then so that hi could live it over
again He looked up into Molly's face,
for, she had been very quiet, and there
he saw big tear drops rolling slowly
down her thin cheeks which now
showed a delicate pink flush.
"Well, well, Molly" began her hus-
band.
"Don't, George, I know it's foolish
for me to cry, but wish we could
have tree and children to fuss for.
Christmas comes and goes now with
out much excitement and it makes me
feel as though I'm getting awfully
DID,"
"Molly, let's have tree and we will
get ready for Christmas just rs we
did long ago."
The next morning, the happy cou-
. pie took trip to the woods to choose
a tree. By the twenty second Of De-
cember, all the things were finished.
George found Molly sitting before the
fire looking very sober.
molly, why do you look so blue7
This is the time for everyone to be
happy"
''I know it, but, George, think our
fun is over. All our planning Is done
and we have no one here to enjoy It.
No children's voices to sing the lovely
Christmas songs. Oh, shall miss it."
she said sobbing.

the maid stole pair OF his breaches.
The next day they could be seen nailed
to the gate OF the highway. But a
worse punishment than this was some
times meted out to him; he was de-
prived of the privilege of the mistls-
toe.
The first maid to pass under this
evergreen on Christmas day was sure
to be married within the year, and
equally sure Of being kissed for that
was the penalty, If It ran be called
such, to be paid by any maid who

berry was plucked, while the privilege
was supposed to end with the last
berry.
