But you 'see even engines and trains, encr lEetlc though they are, like to stop a minute after they run down; jumping Jacks want to catch their breath be tween, jumps and dogs that bark and sheep that bleat and lions that roar enjoy little spaces of silence Just Uko -other folks. But every one of them had done his iest stunt over and over all day and now, In quiet and darkness, they could 0 to sleep all but the dolls, who had been left standing bolt upright and 'Who couldn't shut their eyes In conse quence. So they stood up without a -wink and used the night to think and think, when "Mamma, mamma," came from some where I Had some child been left In the toy shop by mistake and locked In? "Mamma, mamma, mamma." The rBound was familiar, when the toys waked up enough to use their minds, achey bad heard that squeaking call All day. Dear me, child," exclaimed the big HoU from Paris the doll with the 'beautiful face and delicate nerves, who stands right behind the "mamma doll." "fStop that crying 1 .

She Is In street firess wlth-mole-colored corduroy coat and hat of Paffeame material with pink -velvet facing. She has real lace at her wrists and ermine furs. Maybe It Is time for 'first aid' to Trnrt feelings " thought the boy scout who stood near, so he said, "Never .mind that French lady; she doesn't know what It Is to be afraid of the 'dark. You'll find 'mamma' in the morning," and the boy scout who was covered with "merit badges" turned iback to bis particular charge. You see, ho had picked up an Indian pap 2Koso as he came through the wood, nd there she hung l:i her funny bark cradle on bis arm little Owalssa, the '.bluebird. Meanwhile Emit and Katrlna Kru sen, who didn't understand English jrery well, kept to themselves and spolco In German. They were, many jpcople thought, the prettiest dolls In ttbe shop.

According to a well-known apiarist, if a bee finds a suitable patch of flow ers by following a zigzag course of exploration it will seek it again by the same devious route, and not In a straight line from the nest Thus he found that certain bees coming to visit a hollyhock in bis garden always came over the wall some 25 yards to ono sldo of tho flower Instead of directly opposite. They were following the devious route by which they had first found the flower. Purpose of History. He who reads history learns to dlS' tlngulsh what is local from what is universal; what Is transitory from what Is eternal; to discriminate be tween exceptions and rules; to trace tho operation of disturbing causes; to separata the general principles, which are always true and everywhere applicable, from tho accidental clrcum stances with which In every community they are blended.

Up to Uds time the only sympathy I have experienced has shone In the eyes of the postman, and this silent solicitude on bis part is getting on my nerves. I am glad he failed to 'witness this final disappointment I mean final too, for I am determined to devote my efforts to some other lino from now on. Still I don't sec why ho should have ruined my Christmas. It .seems to me since ho held my manu script for six weeks, he could hare given It desk room for another day, thus permitting me to live up to my tmmo today of all days." After this outburst, Mao Hope, a would-be song writer, sank into a chair, thrust a bulky envelope from the Frank Charity Music Publishers Into her desk, and sat hopelessly gazing at tho small epistle from tho samo office and with a slight touch of humor and a faint suggestion of a smile, recited tho contents of that letter not through the envelope, which sho had not opened, but from memory: "Sorry, Miss Hope, that this Is not yet qulto up to tho standard, but sin cerely trust you will not be discour aged, etc, etc" For threo years Miss Hope had been receiving these distressing notes from the genial young publisher, who could not summon the courage to advise her to glvo up. Perhaps ho realized It wits merely a enso of humoring an Imag inary talent rather than attempting to earn n living as the young lady's In como was sufficient to keep her alive without setting Are to tho universe by flashing on the public her picture serv ing as a cover over some sentimental verses accompanied by music. It was the morning of the last day of tho third unsuccessful year. Mao Hope was Interrupted nt breakfast by the sound of the door bell. . "A lady to sco you, Miss Hope,1 spoke the maid. Tho name on tho card seemed to add Insult to injury. " 'Mrs. Frank Charity. I never. .knew ho was married. Maybe it Is someone else. Probably somebody knows I need charity. Tell her I will be down Im mediately." One glance at her visitor assured Jilts Hope It was no stranger, but an old school friend. "Violet Faith I You? The card reads Mrs. Charity." "Why, Mae, you seem surprised." "How should I know you wero mar ried?" "Violet, stealing a glance at the dis orderly desk, remarked tartly: "Perhaps It would be a good Idea to read your letters If you want to keep up with the parade." ,'Tou don't mean," picking up tho bulky envelope from the Frank Char ity Music Publishing company, "thut this Is a letter from you. It looks for all tho world like manuscript" "Manuscript, Indeed t It Is the story of my life written on my wedding day, and I am delighted to find It unopened a' whole week later. I thought It was wonderfully thrilling, and to say the least, Interesting to an old friend. I spent so much time composing it, I am sure you will be fully enlightened if you read it Instead of looking at me in blank amazement and making it im possible to express myself." Miss Hope, after seeing her guest comfortably seated, delved Into the Bernard S d Q depths of the secret, but not before sh , had said by way of apology: "A week, my dear, is a very short time to be Ignored with a suiplciou' looking cnvelopo of this kind," and ' this remark was thoroughly appreciat ed by Violet Faith Charity. I "My dear," said Violet, "it nil hap pened becauso I attended services on Christians eve, but to begin at the tlmo when I last saw you, tho one day I, , most distinctly recall was tho day I net Frank, lie was on tho stage, nnd believing him to bo n regular actor, I dared not mention him to Aunt Agnes. For years I suffered tho annoyance of entertaining her cholco acquaintances 1 and met wljh her disapproval for my I utter Indifference, xou can Imnglno lay relief when tho second nppearnnco of Frank In our littlo city showed him in tho light of a Chautauqua singer consequently eligible to admittance to1 I the best circles. He sang some of your j compositions, won my aunt, took his bride, and here I am. Suppose you take a glance at tho other envelope that came by tho same messenger." ; I Mac, speechlessly, laid down tho ."story of my life" and fingered tho small envelope, which held another sur prise; silently reached for her letter! opener, and Inside of another minute n check for $1,000 fell Into her lap. When sho could pull herself together sufficiently she read the little noto ac companying: "Dear Miss Hope I sang your songs at Kdgewood, and they made tho hit wo have both been waiting for. I worn n bride and you win the cash. Merryj Christmas. "FRANK aiAItlTx "It seems, Violet, the same man hasi made us both happy. He has given youj the hero you prayed for, and has helped "It Seems, Violet, the Same Man Had Made Us Both Happy." mo to a coveted career, and the onlyj reason he did not make us both happy on Christmas day Is that you took tba proper step lived up to your namej Faith, and went to church to have your prayer answered, while I choso the pes simistic mood, and when happiness fell! Into my lap I threw it aside and lose Uopo in tho face of Charity." During this resolution season a good many people are likely to start things! that they can't finish.
