Modern Dolls Are
• Works Of Art
It Is interesting to contrast the
plump, really truly looking American
doll uf today with the crude, legless,
long-nrmed wooden dollies with which
the little Egyptian girls used to play.
Those Egyptian dolls hud wooden hair
and funny long anus that reached al
most to the knees and they never had
tiny feet at all, says the Boston Tost,
for clothes all there ever was for
theai to wear was just a strip of cot
ton cloth wouiul round and round
their bodies like a bandage.
Worse than that, the poor little Mo
hammedan children had to play with
headless dolls because the queer rul
ings of their religion would not allow
of any Imitation of the human figure.
I'' iiml children, Esther and Until,
probably played with wooden dolls
very much like the Egyptian dolls,
never a bit more beautiful.
Queen Elizabeth had a doll made of
tree bark. It was said to be 250
years eld before It came into her pos
i '-ion and since she died it has
never been located.
porb'd mul Mary Queen of Scots
a collection of dolls that would
ni'ive their arms ami legs, tliey helns;
operated with springs. As early as
1113 came dolls with voices that
would squeak. Wigs came In 1820 and
walking dolls In 1S25. hut they were
all oncer anil unlovable compared to
the delightful "mnmroa"-"papa" talk

JUNGLE MONARCH "BIG GAME"
Ti^er Csn Always Be Relied On to
Furr.lih Sport for the Most Ad
venturous Hunter.
The tiger Is one variety of came
: 'c.'t is In no danger of extermina
i.>-:i. Tigers have teen hunted for
ifiituries. They lnrolshed sport to
:i tit llotnans, both in the arena
where they faced the gladiators and
I:; the open field, liefore that, they
v.<. re the game of great Egyptian mon
arch*. It is doubtful whether prlml
tive man was able to kill the tiger at
all.
Today tigers are comparatively easy
gnmc for the wealthy sportsnieD who
hunt thorn with the great double-bar
:elii| English rifles carrying express
bullets. A great crowd of beaters us
ually agists at the sport, and drives
the tiger into the opeu, though occa
>' :;a!iv he Is killed by watching at the J
-- ati an rual he has killed. Oc- i
rasiunally a tiger kills a hunter, but |
not often. In India and also In Kotya j
iv tit med and half-naked natives
rre killed by tigers ever year. In the
war hetwen tneii and tigers It Is hard
to say which is winning.
Tigers at e found Itk almost all parts
of i he continent of Asia, from the trop
ic -a! Jungles of India to the almost arc
tic heights of the mouutalus lu Si

Make Friends
When You Can
My hobby Is enlarging my acquaint
ance. For years I have found pleas
ure and pro lit in trying to know as
many people as I can. I aim never to
let the sun set without knowing at
least one more person than I did when
I started out In the morning, wrlte9
Fred C. Kelly lu Leslie's. Why? My
answer Is: Why not? Life is made up
of human relations. As I look at It
the tnore human contact I achieve the
iuller my life should be. By human
contact I don't mean Just being in
crowds, or places where people are. I
mean meeting people, getting their
points of view. Lois of city folk who
have plenty of dally opportunity to
meet and know people don't get ac
quainted with as tuauy as a man I
know who lives on a farm and never
comes to town. Meeting people is one
thing, making friends or getting ac
quainted with them is another. Inas
much as iiufnan beings are admittedly
the most interesting things on earth,
why not know as many of them as pos'
sible? If there are men who derive
pleasure from collecting stamps, rare
w.lt.t. (..itwie liiva Intturc flrtfrq wIlV
shouldn't I give a little serious thought
to collecting a long list of friends?
And if 1 ain a more successful busi
ness tiinu In consequence of having
many friends all the bettur for me.
Everybody you know Is potentially
a help to you. There Is no way of
telling when the humblest person
among your acquaintances may not
have momentary Importance In some
thing you are trying to do. I once
was able to get Information that
meant a successful contract through
the fact that I chanced to be acquaint
ed with the fireman in one of the ho
tels in San Francisco.
Now there are two ways of gettiifg
acquainted with peoiie—by Introduc
tion and by getting ilito casual con
"versatlon without Introduction. I try
to make the most of both these ave
nues, but I regard the former as the
more important of ihe two.
LOOT STORES OF FIELD MICE
North Dakota Indians Raid Caches of
Delicacy, but Always Leave Corn
in Its Place.
In the northern part of North Da
kota" there grows a bean which Is re
lated to the peanut and of which the
Indians of that section are very fond.
As each plant bears but a single bean,
the labor of gathering them would be
very grout, but the field mice of that
section gather the beans and hide
them for winter consumption in under
ground storehouses.
The Indians know how to locate the
caches and in the autumn they go
forth and rob them, but the supplies
are Invariably replaced with corn or
some other grain which the Indians
have in plenty, so that the little har
vesters are uot starved out.
The beans have a delicious 11avor
and are highly prized. In the course
of a few days' hunt one Indian may
gather two bushels, a few quarts being
secured from each of tli^ underground
storehouses.
The Indians say that tills method of
gathering food from mouse hoards
dates back to prehistoric times, but
the traditions of the tribes protect the
mice in that it is taught that dire pun
ishment falls upon those who take the
beans without replacing them with
corn.—Chicago Journal.
Portable Radiotelephone.
The pocket telephone has been
brought a step nearer by the assem
bling of the necessary radiophone ap
paratus Into a compact unit having a
weight of about 00 pounds. As a po
tential of only six volts to each Is re
quired to operate the rectifier and
oscillator bulbs the low-capacity "B
type" batteries are dispensed with,
according to an illustrated article in
the December Popular Mechanics Mag
azine. The low voltage required is
available almost anywhere, as two
six-volt batteries are easily procurable
from any automobile battery service
station. The new unit is especially
designed for the use of motorists,
yachtsmen, campers and Isolated
farms. Under ordinary conditions it
Is said tlfat the new Instrument may
be depended upon to operate satisfac
torily over distances of from five to fif
