any-and there is a story which has
to do with them too.
"a few years ago a farmers wife
found that her children were starved
in the way of toys which she and her
husband could not afford to give them.
But she wanted to do something
about it-and she did.
"She began making toys. Out of old
pieces of felt and kid she made copies
of all the animals on the farm

now this farmers wife supplies the
toy shop with it's horses and it's cows
and its other farm animals in play

"The business Is too much for Just
this one mother so she and other
mothers In her neighborhood make
lovable farm animals. sell them, and
also show the city children just how
the animals on the farm really look
"And 1t is wonderful business
which perhaps even young girls could
learn to do every once In awhile and
make a little extra pin money.
''For nothing would be so nice as
toys made around our country places
as they are made in the country places
in the foreign countries and then sent
to the cities.
"The toy shop is anxious TO have a
Made In America sign stand for per-
lection In toyland in America too.
"But brought you each home a
souvenir"
Nick and Nancy were indeed sur.
prised, when Daddy undid n package
and gave each Of them a beautiful
toy horse. Each had a glorious silky
tail and Nancy started TO stroke her
horses tail Immediately.
"Snch n nice horse and such a lovely
tall" she said. and Nick said,
They're a handsome pair"

THE TOY SHOP.

Il have little shop to tell you about
this evening"" said Daddy, (which Is
for children alone. 1t is simply a
back room which is something like a
story-book full of different stories.
You're not quite sure at first which
story you'll hear about and then de-
eide you'll hear them alone by one
1T is back Of book shop which, too,
is only for children. And there Is a
marionette theater which means a
puppet show and little puppets-or
dolls which are worked by wires from
behind the scenes.
Sometimes the marionette shows
go a-traveling just as though they
were a real theatrical company, of
course they have to be taken!
but 1t is the toy shop or toy room
| want to tell you about. The name
Is the Once Upon-a- Time toy shop
The reason for this Is because there is
story attached to every toy, or at
least something which distinguishes it
from the usual toys.
First there Is the story-book stick
horse. This Is toy made in Italy
for there are quaint toys from diff
ferent lands to be seen. The story
book stick horse Is like a regular broom
stick small boy would enjoy riding.
only on the top Is a perfectly modelled
Arabian horse, very distinguished
looking fellow with q head which Is
lie, Al
fiat head given to such creatures And
the stick Is of a gorgeous blue hue
with a red knob at the end.
There are many kinds of animals
a wonderful pair of oxen looking like
real oxen, too. / wished l could have
obtained a pair Of real oxen at that
moment just to show them that toy
makers sometimes did know what they
looked like!
There was black bear and black
cat and their story-along with the
story of some Of the other animals was
this: They were made by widows Of
English soldiers who had fallen dur
ing the war There is factory in
England which employs only widows
Of soldiers and they make toys.
"Some of the toys told stories Of
national ways. For example, a scene
depicting life in the far North was
worked out in toys. There was the
Eskimo and his dogs and his sledges.
his hut and his provisions and there
was also a mighty walrus with most
fascinating teeth. A toy woodchopper
and a toy lady woodchopper from
Switzerland who bent back and forth
at their work showed that in Switzer-
land wood-chopping is not only work
for men
There are painted oil-cloth porridge
sets done by an invalid and from now
on the "Once-U pon-a-Time" toy shop
expects to have many Russian and
Italian, French and other foreign toys
which will be made by the immigrants
who come to this country, and who
will want to do this work.
But the animals we're all familiar
with are perhaps as interesting as

Mr.. MOORE RETIRES.

Announcement was made in the
New Orleans Times-Picayune this
week that Mr.. D. D. Moore has re.
tired as manager of that journal
that his retirement was brought about
because of i'll health during the past
year.
Mr.. Moore has been connected witt
the Times-Picayune since the begin,
ming Of its existence, and was con
nected with the old Times-Democrat
before that time. For twenty-sever
years he has engaged in newspaper
work in New Orleans, coming to the
Times -DemocratSfron Missouri, and
during that period he rose by success
sive promotions on merit from sub
ordinate editorial post to general
manager of the enterprise.
Under his management, which be-
gun in 1910, much newspaper his
tory has been made in New Orleans.
Consolidation of The Times-Demo
crat and picayune was one of the out
standing accomplishments under his
regime. His record of newspaper
achievement has seldom been equalled
and still more rarely surpassed. His
retirement will be regretted by the
newspaper fraternity of Louisiana in
general.

GONZALES ON THE MAP

Our neighboring "burg," Gonzales
located in what is called the New
River district of Ascension parish, go
its feet firmly imprinted on the maj
of the United States last week, wher
a letter from P. R.. Lanoux, the edi
tor of our esteemed contemporary, th<
Gonzales Weekly, was read by Sena
tor Hitchcock of Nebraska in the
United States Senate.
The letter was used by the Ne.
braska senator to sustain his conten-
tlons in the controversy with former
Premier Clemenceau, the missive of
the Louisiana editor criticising France
for using black troops against Ger
many IN the recent war.
We are of the opinion that if Ger
many had had black troops, red
troops, yellow troops, green troops
or any kind of troops she would have
used them against the Allies. She
would even have enlisted troops from
the ku kluX klan if it would have
been possible.
The old saying of Sherman is true,
War is HE'LL"

JAS. Won LOTTEN, Pub. and Prop
A PUBLIC NUISANCE.

Whc failure OF the east bound
trains on the Texas and Pacific rail
Goad to run on time, or at least neal
scheduled time, has become a public
nuisance. Almost every passenger
train coming from the west is from
thirty minutes to three and toul
hours late. There is hardly an ex-
ceptlon to the rule, and it is par
ticularly true as regards train num-
bcr tWenty-four which is scheduled to
leave Donaldsonvlle at 4 O'Clock in
the afternoon.
And to add insult to injury, the
railroad officials make no patent en-
deavor to keep the public informed
as to ust what time the trains will
finally appear at the local station.
Many times a train has been marked
up an hour late and passengers have
gone to tuc depot expecting at least
That the tram will come at the time
announced, bu have had to wait half
an hour and Iii ONE caScSe over an
n"ur for the tram to arrive. At
other times the tram Is marked up,
say an hour late, and no further no
ulicatlon Is made until that hour is
passed, then it is again marked up
another thirty minutes or an hour.
Information has been given The
Chief that the reason for the irreeu-
larlty Of time Of trains on the road
Is because OF hot boxes and engine
troubles. 1t is said that hardly q train
Is run through from one terminus to
the other without several hot boxes
occurring, and time is lost in repack-
ing ana cooling. 1t is also said
that many Of the delays are caused
by engine trouble and stops must be
made to make repairs.
We do not understand why such a
'dlsease' should be chronic with the
Texas and Pacific. During and imme-
dlateIv after the war such excuses
would have been tolerated, but
enough time has elapsed since the
road was turned over to the COM
pany by the government to remedv
evils existing in its rolling stock.
Jther great trunk lines of the coun-
,ry have done so, and their trains are
'uhning on time and we believe if /
ne management of the Texas and
'acltic railroad would exercise a lit
lie efficiency that its trains could also
'e run on time.

Threatens Colored Man.

Reals Price, a colored man, living
about three miles above Darrow on
the east side of the river, did not
enjoy very happy Thanksgiving day.
While he was on his way to work that
day and as he was walking along the
levee, Price declares, colored wo-
man, named Anna Nicholas, ran from
her house equipped with a huge but
cher knife and pistol and yelled
at him, "now I've got you Price

Maurin and swore out an affidavit
charging Anna with assaulting him
with a loaded pistol and a butcher
knife. Anna was arresed, but made
bond to appear before the district
cont, and Price really should be
thankful that Anna did not catch him.

Rev. Hines to Remove.

BY action of the annual conference

on the adoptio of the conference re-
port OF the administration bill Fa-

IN the four hours of debate that
preceded the vote, the democrats

with Senator Underwood, of Alabama,
delivering the principal address. They
expected to carry it to the country
during the campaign proceeding the
elections in November.
The tariff, the first republican pro-
tective measure in nearly ten years,
has beer twenty months and more in

means began hearings on January 6,
