Among the last cases tried before the November term of criminal court closed Friday was that of James Gilliland and others, Pennsylvania railroad employes charged with having broken into freight cars at Yonngwood and stolen beer in October. The defendants were all ac-quitted and the costs put on the county. Benjamin Shram, of Arnold, who ac-cidentally shot his son in the course of a fam'1” quarrel, was sent to the peni ...ary for six months. A. B. Jackson, who tried to heat his boarding bouse mistress, was sent to jail for three weeks. John and Daniel Errett, who beat Samuel VanUyke near New Stanton, were fined $25 each. P. H. Naly, of Manor, failed to con-vict James Moore and Dr. Leyda of malicious trespass, and shared the costB with them. He will, however, try to recover damages from the defendants In a civil suit. 1 risburg. Pa., has moved here and now resides with his family on East Wash-ington street, having accepted the i United Brethren charges at Fairview, Mt. Oliver and Breakneck in place of the regular conference appointee who w’as unable to do the work assigned him.

Coroner Taylor, of Fayette county, held an inquest Tuesday on the body of Jesse Harper, who was shot by Blaine Kittle at No 11 Leisering two months i ago. The jury returned a verdict hold-i ing William Rhone and Blaine Kittle as principals and Mrs William Rhone as an accessory to the crime. Harper was a negro and was living I with Mrs Kittle, who is white. The two quarreled and Blaine Kittle, a son of the woman, went to the house of j William Rhone, where he secured a re volver, returned and shot Harper through the body. Kittle, who is only 10, then fled and has not yet been nppre bended. After the killing Mrs. Kittle and her daughters were sent to the Fayette county home where they are now living. Mrs. Nicola Gallo Caught Almost Red-Handed Setting Fire to John A. Stevenson’s Coal House and is Now In Jail. MRS. LOUIS SABBARESE RELEASED ON BAIL. The hearing in the case of Mrs. Louis Sabbarese, the Italian woman charged with having tired the John A. Stevenson vacant warehouse building which burned to the ground last Wednesday, was held before Justice McWilliams Friday morning last. While the defendant swore that she had not been nearer the scene of the tire that day than her own home, one witness for the prosecution testified to having seen her come out of the alley leading from the old warehouse shortly before the alarm was given. Another wit-ness swore to having seen Mrs. Sabbarese pouring something around the weather-boarding from an oil can. Justice McWilliams reserved his decision and as he couldn’t take bail for arson the defendant had to go to j til. Mr. McWilliams decided on Monday to hold tier for court. The court then fixed the amount of her hail at $1,00(1, on which she was at once released. The burned building wasoue of the stoutest frame structures in the town, having been built about half a century ago by A. Over-holt & Co., tint West Overton distillers, who used it to store their whiskey and Hour in until shipments by wagon could be made to both eastern and western points. Of late years the big building had been used by the owner, Mr. Stevenson, for tenement purposes, although at the time of the lire il was entirely vacant Mrs. Frances Gallo, the Polish wife of the well known old Italian tailor who now lives in a small house on the rear of John It. Walker’s property, close to the ruins of the warehouse, was ar-rested Monday by Constable Thompson and, as the result of a hearing before the same justice, was sent to jail at Greeusburg charged with having twice attempted to burn Mr. Stevenson’s con 1 house. She set the place on tire Sunday morning, but the Haines j were discovered and put out before any damage was doue. A watch was then placed ou the building and she was seen to make ! the second attempt about 11 o'clock Monday morning when her I arrest followed. The prisoner is undoubtedly weak minded and she is looked upon generally its having been a mere tool for more cunning minds. Fires, however, seem to have followed the Gallos, for, it can be recalled that when the Braddoek block burned they lived in tiie rear of it. The same can be said of the tires at the National Hotel stables, Bob Goodman's chicken coop. Miss Flora Duncan's property and the old warehouse. When about to be locked iu her cell Mrs. Gallo told Constable Thompson that she would make a clean breast of the whole matter at the proper time. COKE AND C0AE. Items of Interest Gathered From Both Mine and Yard. The Penn Gas Coal Company has just started its Paintertown mine in full, giving employment to several hundred more miners. Following its usual custom, the Greensbnrg Coal Company will distri-bute, l.i 00 Thanksgiving turkeysauiong its employes. The new Trwin plant claims to be aide to manufacture a gas from slack coal that competes successfully with the natural article. Twenty four hour coke is being made at a number of plants in the region to meet the lively demand for the fuel. Scarcity of cars is still seriously felt. The Frick company is preparing to install a new 9110 incandescent electric light machine at its new Standard shafi to supply the entire plant, both above and below the ground. The Berwind-White Coal Company has purchased the Elliott farm, near iis Herminie mines, for a car plant. The tract contains 1215 acres and the price was something like $20,01 0. Owen Murphy, formerly of this place, has received a contract from the Amer ican Steel and Wire Company for the building ot' 4t)i’ coke ovens at Lambert station, in Southern Fayette county. The Oliver & Snyder Steel Company of Pittsburg, has bought 212 acres ot coal land near Uniotitown for$l,2nu an acre. The price is the highest ever paid for Couuellsville coking coal land in large tracts. There is a prospect of an early con-struction of a branch of the Buffalo, Rochester & Pittsburg railroad from a point near Pnuxsutawney to Indiana. I he line would develop new coal ter ritory in Indiana county. General Richard Coulter, of Greens I i nrg, has bought the Skara Glen coal : farm, near that place, from Frank Clop per. There are about 100 acres in the ] tract, the consideration being close to $50,000. Hempfield township farmers between New Stanton and Waltz's Mills, who optioned their coal to Johnston & Tarr. of Scottdnle, for $110 an acre, are tired waiting for the sale and will meet at Middletown tomorrdw to take some ac-tion looking to a release in order to ac cept of better terms from other concerns A LOVER’S SKULL CRACKID Stays Close Home. John Hoke, an old Bullskin township soldier, was in Uniontown last week to apply for an increase in his pension. He resides near Laurelville and is a prominent resident of that part of Fay-ette county, though this was but his second visit to Uniontown in nearly 50 years. He has seldom been further from home than Mount Pleasant or Bridge port. His first visit to the Fayette county capital was to attend a polit ical meeting during the Buchanan pres idential campaign. A PLUCKY GIRL. She Escapes From a Burly Negro Assail-ant at Uniontown. At Uniontown Friday night as Miss Tillie Ham, a saleswoman, was going to her home, she was followed by a large colored man, who sprang upon her and threw one arm about her neck and with the other hand closed her mouth and prevented her from scream-ing. He attempted to drag her to a back street but she resisted vigorously and he struck her twice in the face, threat-ening to kill her if she made any out-cry. She still fought her assailant and finally got loose from him and escaped to a neighbor’s, minus her hat, with her clothes torn and hair disheveled. The alarm was given and officers searched nearly all night, but could not find the man. Miss Harn says if she had not bad her gloves on she would have whipped him. Her face is bruised and scratched, and her plucky fight is the talk of the town. With a Stone Thrown by His Sweet-heart's Angry Father. Morgan McKinney, employed in the freight department of the B. & O. at Connellsville, had his skull fractured there Sunday and may die as the result of a blow on the bead from a stone thrown by A J. Brown while the vic-tim was about to walk from the Brown home in company with the owner’s daughter, Mabel, who had been sick for several weeks. Sunday was the first that she was able to leave her room, and when she went outdoors her father called to her, 'but she met McKinney The two start ed to walk away together, with Brown in pursuit. They had walked but a little distance when the enraged father assaulted McKinney. He went down in a pool of blood. Then Brown took his daughter home, where she collapsed and is still in a serious condition. Her father claims that McKinney has a wife and five children living in Cambria c unty. The Browns have lived in Connells-ville for 18 years and are highly respect-ed. Miss Mabel is an ardent church worker, and is esteemed by a large circle of Iriends. The domestic peace of the Brown home was first broken about a year ago, when a younger daughter married an Italian, much against the wishes of her father. Since that time Mr. Brown has watched the remaining daughter's every move. Well-Known Young People to Wed. Mr. Harry P. Rutnbangb, of near this place, and Miss Katberyn Campbell, youngest daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Hiram B.

The Pennsylvania railroad station at Braeburn, which was robbed last Wednesday morning by two masked men, who tied the night operator, Richard Morrow, in a chair, and re-lieved hi in of his watch and money and looted the ticket drawer, was again visited in a similar manner Friday morning by a masked robber single handed. After breaking down the door and entering the ticket office he subdued the occupants, Operator Morrow and George Clark, of New Kensington, a brakeman, into submission by sending several bullets in close proximity to their heads. He then took Clark's watch, revolver and 75 cents from the money drawer, and keeping both men covered with bis revolver he backed out and disappeared. A Frightful Death.

Their counsel, James Francis Burke, has laid before Governor Stone their joint request that they be banged upon different days, or at least that they be not executed jointly from the same scaffold. Since their appeal for a new trial was refused they have heeu trying to resign themselves to their coming execution, but both have an abhorrence to a joint execution. The date for their execution was once fixed and then postponed, and they are now hoping the Governor will grant their last/ est before the ar-rangements for . edition are com-pleted.

VIU.—Nascent Periods; Doll Play. fiPlTlIOTIT the example and the suggestion of others few gil'la would play doll, hui without n native irn-kind the example and on barren two forces pulse of some suggestion would fall ground. Where these meet and fructify we have the nas-cent period for doll play. The doll Is for the child mainly a means of repre-sentation. It affords him an opportunity for imitation and thus of realization of experience which coiSd not otherwise be obtained. Mr. Kills shows that within the doll period solid dolls are preferred at the beginning, but toward the end of the period paper dolls arc much more in demand. The facts show that these latter are desired, among other reasons, because they are easier of manipulation. They may be manufactured quickly, and a greater number may he used. These features appear to be advantageous because by means of them more complex representations can be carried out. It has been customary for adults to refer the girl’s doll play to the instinct of motherhood. Dr. Harris repeats this notion and says that girls give up play-ing with dolls when they do because of the approach of puberty and with it the emotion of shame. The girl begins to feel the unsat isfactoriness of a mere symbol of a baby because she is able to desire more intensely the reality. Rut, as Mr. Ellis’ carefully collated observations show, girls play all kinds of things besides mother and baby with dolls. Cross teacher is a favorite game. Actual dolls are not absolutely necessary. A row of buttons will do for the Children and a bigger one for the teacher. At other times the child uses her-self or other children, animals, etc., for some of the characters. This runs into forms where dolls are dispensed with. Any event whieh is striking to the child is represented by means of dolls. Sickness, death and funerals are very common. The problems of the future life are not neglected. After being killed and buried, dolls are dug up to see if they have gone to heaven. President Stanley Ilall gives a ease where children had tied one big doll to the gaselier. This doll was called the god doll. When tlielr other dolls died, they were given one loss upward. If they touched the god doll, they went to heaven; If not, they went to the other place. Dolls are by uo means always babies. They are quite frequent-ly about the same age as the person who plays with them and are often supposed to he grown up. Colored dolls are also frequent with white chil-dren and militate against the exclusiveness of the motherhood idea. Tljc range of complexity of the matters represented by means of dolls is only limited by the experience and imagination of the children. The present writer collected a number of plays with dolls, which are very significant for the educator. The following may he cited as an example: Children of about the a£o of 11 used to play doll in an attic, especially on rainy days. Here they hiid a number of stands and tables. On one of these they had black dolls out out of paper. This was Africa. On another they had Chinese dolls painted with gayly colored clothing. From their parents they obtained tea and rice, which were laid on the table. On another stand they had tattooed savages, representing south sea islanders. They made ships of paper and carried the products of one country to another. Missionaries landed on the south sea islands and were duly killed and eaten up. They read all they could about these countries and wearied their parents with questions. During all this time they never once thought of asking their teacher for Information, al-though she was teaching geography at the time. She was occupied largely with the definition of continents, Islands, etc. She also concerned herself much with (he boundaries of states and their capitals. As for the geography and history, the economics, the literature and the art work involved in the chil-dren's doll play, these wore not shown on lie course of study. The children showed ordinary common sense In not going to her for information or for help. Children’s doll play reveals almost everything they are thinking about. They whisper secrets to them; they show by their treatment of them their real feelings as to right and wrong, justice, punishments, ole. By moans of them they objectify their own inner states and make internal (heir outer observations. This is all done in the most concrete manner possible. It is no abstract representation. Movements and bodily feelings arc called into play as well as reactions of a more intellectual order. Doll play, in fact, from a brain standpoint, is a means of transition from the preponderant activity of the kina-stlietic regions, connected with the bodily movements and feelings characteristic of the earlier years to that of 1lie associational regions neces-sary for complete human development. Doll play thus means the coming in of wide trains of imaging, which at first arc not easily controlled without some other sensation. The child puts a big button down for the cross teacher. The imagination paints this figure for a little while and then goes on to the smaller buttons. The child is now free to pay complete attention in this direction. If the buttons were not there, it would happen at this stage, with ft narrow memory span, that the first image or train of images about the teacher would be forgotten. Rut now, coming 1o the end of the second train of images, she sees the big button before her eyes. Slie is immediately brought back to the first image and can go on with it, modifying it in every direction. The buttons have been the means of her organizing or holding together a larger range of images or of increasing her power to pay attention or to grasp a wide assemblage of events. This synthotizing power is essential in a properly developed human being, and the long period of childhood would bean advantage in the struggle for exist-ence if tins alone were gained. It ma.v be said that the teacher, when she braces her pupils in their scats, suppresses every movement and focuses attention to the minutest circle possible, is attempting to do something of the same kind. This may be possible in the upper grades, but within the nascent period for doll play nature has a better way. Slie begins with the movements1 and bodily sensations and out of them develops somewhat irregularly and by fits and starts the higher nsso-ointional centers, which means the manipulation of wider trains of images. Always some of the dolls or buttons are kept in motion and are being con-stantly felt and bandied as well as seen and thought about. If there are gaps in the train of images, as is natural, those are filled up with movements and bodily sensations. There is then the largest possible synthesis, since all these things are connected in one experience and not divided as in ordinary recitations, The personal perception of the body, which means sensation, will power, health and energy, is not sacrificed. Automatisms and other signs of fatigue do not appear. Double personality Is not encouraged. The Intellec-tual imaging is carried on the surface of a healthy emotional condition. Growth is made possible, since the roots as well as the leaves are allowed to live. These partial experiences are made much more complete when they are acted out, but since many of these require also the co-operation of others, which is not obtainable when needed, a substitute is found which is controlla-ble— namely. representation in miniature by means of dolls. The Irritating desires caused by or identical with these dammed up images arc thus radi-ated and discharged. Doll play is a movement toward a more complete ex-perience, and it succeeds because it docs not suppress, but liberates and synthetizes, energy. In its more general aspects it is, of course, evident that doll play is sim-ply typical of many other forms of play into which the intellectual and so-cial element enters to any extent. A complete psychological history of the child would give us a detailed ac-count of thousands of such nascent periods as those already mentioned. They would overlap one another in every imaginable way, as they actually do in life. Their discovery and analysis would give us the keys by which we eouid bring to bear at the proper time the most suitable environment for the mental and moral nutrition of the child. Time would be saved and in-jury avoided, for we would uo longer be in danger of working on immature capacities nor of neglecting others until their period of growth has passed by forever. What au advantage, for example, it would be if instead of need-ing to support a compulsory education; department we had a child study ac-count of this problem of truancy and vagabondage which would reveal its nascent period and display the desires and images which make up the mental condition of the truant, the signs by wbicU these are indicated and the means by which they may be radiated and discharged or made part of a com-pleter form of living. The child of the present day and the savage child were probably alike in •ne respect—they were both most thoroughly impressed each by his own en-vironment. It takes very little sense of proportion to see that the modern home is to the modern child what the ancient wigwam was to the savage child. The child of the stone age did not probably banker after a period 500,- 000 years before his time. Why should the modern child do so either? The theory Is really a piece of mysticism and derived from a course of study standpoint rather than from the natural interests of the child. This Is not. however, saying that children have no interest in history nor that building wigwams, making pottery, etc., arc not a great improvement on what formerly occupied the ground. These occupations are after all a form of play. The difficulty is that they have half the life taken out of them by being predestined by the teacher. By this conduct the teacher robs the children of a consid-erable part of the motor side of life and lessens their opportunities for find-ing themselves a cause. Moreover, by compelling sotm children to make pot-tery, e, g., who would rather do something else she also loses that variety which Is essential to any concrete 'realization of life or satisfactory organiza-tion of society.

THU MOUNT I’IJKAHA NT .IIII'KNA I., II!! IIAV, NOVKMIIKH UJ. 11101. As Judged From the Past Week's f Trade Reports WHEN CAREFULLY COMPILED FOR THE CONVENIENCE OF READ-ERS OF THE JOURNAL. Some Time AKO it Was Feared That the Injury Done the Corn Crop Would Cripple the Railroade By the LOHB of Tonnage, But Scarcity of Cnre Haa De-moralized Numerous Industries. The Demand for all Classes of Merchandise Continues Healthy. A few months ago injury to the corn crop aroused feara that the railroads would be seriously handicapped by the loss of tonnage, yet the season of grain •• traffic has not only failed to produce de-creased enmities, bnt there is such a scarcity of rolling stock and motive power that numerous industries are badly demoralized. In so far as these interests are concerned, the reduction , in corn freight proves a blessing. Rail way earnings in October were 11.3 per cent greater than last year and 81.2 per cent over IS!)!), while those road report inR for the first week of November show an average gain of !).S per cent. A healthy demand is reported through-out the country in all leading lines of merchandise, while sales of wintergoods have attained normal proportions and holiday business promises to surpass nil records. In manufacturing there was never before such well-sustained activ l ity, with contracts running past the ^ middle of next year. This is especially true in the case of! steel rails and many other products of iron, while in building material, felt, j footwear and most textile branches there is little prospect of idleness ! Money circulates freely, making eollec-1 tions satisfactory in most sections. Hank exchanges in New Kork for the week were 8 H per cent, larger than a year ago and 32.1 per cent, over IHiMi, while at other leading cities the gains were 10.2 and It.2, respectively. Unprecedented conditions in the iron and steel industry are shown by the* sta-tistics of pig iron on November 1. ns published by the Iron Age. Furnaces in blast were producing at the late of 820,824 tons weekly, which far surpasses i all previous records. With a production of 10,000 tons weekly above the previous top point it might be expected that sup plies would increase or at least remain stationary. On the contrary, furnace stocks on November I were 27)1,251 tons, or much less than a single week's out |mt nrnl a decrease of 88,342 tor the month of October. Carrying the com parison back a year gives an idea of tbe marvelous strides made in this industry. Since November. 1800, the weekly cap acity of furnaces in blast has increased from 215,304 tons to 320,824, while fur-nace stocks have declined from 041.400 to 275,281 tons. Yet there has been no inflation of prices, and the speculative element is entirely lacking, a sign that no disastrous collapse is to be feared. While shipments of footwear from Boston eontinnefarin excess of previous years and factories are well employed, the situation is not satisfactory. Prices are not maintained at a profitable point vowing to the phenomonal strength of material and the stubborn resistance of buyers Print cloths at Fall River are quiet, recent unusual events having produced a tendency to await developments. Both buyers and sellers made sufficient concessions on the brown goods to se cure large export sales. Further gains are recorded in woolens, business reach-ing the best of the season. Failures for the week were 216 in the United States, against 217 last year, and and 27 in Canada, against 33 last year. CHAIN. FLOnll ANtl PERU—WHOLESALE.

Uulga ria, brings a curious talent the plight of Miss Ellen Stone, the American mis siounry who was kidnaped by bri-gands It credits a Macedonian priest with reporting that Peka I’aslia, tlie chief of her captors, is enamored of Miss Stone and wishes to marry her Miss Stone declines to have anything to do with him Peka. however, is detain ing her at his house, and hopes she will relent it is, indeed, to he regretted that the fair prisoner does not take kindly toiler captor's advances as a marriage would Vie an easy way to settle the whole mat-ter. it’s not every American girl that can boast of having a real brigand for a lover. The captive, if we are to judge of her looks by the euls of her in the daily press a by no means sale rule to follow, we must admit has reached the age that is drawing well toward the old maid line. Then. Miss Stone is a mis-sionary by choice and reforming a man of Peka Pashas wild ways would be quite a feather in her lint. The brigand chieftain should press his suit. — . «. ADMIRAL SCHLEY’S MISFORTUNt . Now that the Schley court of inquiry at Washington has closed its public hearings and is preparing its verdict, il is said the distinguished claimant, who hopes to thus have his record as n naval officer cleared, finds that every cent ot $211,001), which he had expected to leave lo his family, in addition to all the prize money which he will get for his partin the Spanish American war, some $5,00(1, has been spent on the inquiry Financially the admiral is worse off than he was almost half a century ngo when he entered the naval academy. As a retired Rear Admiral the gov-ernment will give him $5,625 a year HH long as he lives, hut the money with which he had hoped to assure the com-fort of his wife, should anything happen to him. is gone. The suggestion that the next Congress should appropriate money to reimburse him for his court expenses is an excel lent one. But, even if this should not he done, the unfortunate admiral need have no fears, for, his host of American admirers would never permit those who are near and dear to him to want for anything. ENGLAND IS tiOOl) NOW. The new treaty between this country and England was signed Monday last without any formality to mark the cere-mony. Secretary of State Hay signed for the United States, while the British ambassador at Washington, Lord Panncefote performed a like service for Great Britain. The text of the treaty will probably not be made public until it is sent to the senate for confirmation, but its provisions, according to the best information obtainable, are: Unconditional abrogation of the Clay-ton Bulwer treaty of 1850, by which the United States and Great Britain agreed that neither would obtain nor maintain exclusive control over an inter-oceanic canal; guarantee of neutrality in timo of peace by the United States; the United States at liberty to avail itself of its reserved rights and close the canal against the ships of any nation with which it may he at war; the United Sliiles to have the exclusive right to control, maintain and defend the canal; fortifications, which were not permiss-ahle under the former treaty, allowed, if desired. No ratification by or ml Iterance to the terms of the treaty by foreign nalioiis. no discrimination in the matter of tolls in favor of the United Slates; no consideration given by the United States in return for the abrogation of the Clayton Bulwer treaty. It is understood that all of the prin eiples for which the senate contended when the first May Panncefote treaty was rejected by that body have been conceded by Great Britain. Upon the whole, indeed. John Bull's behavior in the matter has been of the most fair and decent order. Tlll’.liK are doubtless many things for which you should give special thanks on Thursday next. IT doesn't require much of a nose to tell that the sowers are sadly in need of flushing. Their present condition is a most unhealthy one. Before the Sultan Weakened.

Staked To the Ground Indian Girl’s Cruel Revenge O i Her Cowboy Lover A rcninrk.'ibli* sior.v Is that which ♦ernes from Oklahoma. It Is Hint of the cruel revenue of an Indian inniden fin her cowboy lover. For three days she kept him bound to stakes on the desert viiilll at last death ennie to ids relief. The cowboys on the Bix X ranch in rile Kiowa, anil Comanche Iniliau res-ervations near Darlington, In the In-dian Territory, have been iu the habit j of going over lo the Indian villages in ! the evenings and taking the young women out horseback riding. Willis Andale was a young easterner who had gone out to Oklahoma for ad-venture and to improve his health, lie was extremely handsome and had a flashing, daring manner that appealed to women. Anna Kildeer was an extremely good -looking Comanche girl, and the Co-elm girls are about the host look- Indittu maidens. Andale paid marked attention to Ai. lie took her riding every ■cveningVand under the great golden moon tlitat hung low over the endless plains of (Ailahoma lie told her tlie soft, sweet nothings that a man is expected to say when sitting on (lie veranda of the summer resort hotel at night. It scorns' that he is not expected to say them in the (jpmanche country. Andale was greatly surprised when his friends, tlmjpther cowboys, told him that Anna Kildeer had fallen desper-ately iu love with him and flint she would expect liiiff lo marry her. An dale immediately rode over lo Anna's home and took her out for a ride. Then he told her that lie lipd not meant what he said and that he, had not thought she was taking what he said in earnest. “Oh, you love me.” said tlie Indian girl slowly. “Von love me. for you told me that you did.” “Oh!” said the cowtiny irritably. “Hang it all, men ureii’l supposed to tell the trul li when they-are making love. I was only joking with you." “You said you loved me.A replied the Indian girl. "I do not imdtrstand the Joking." A “Well, then,” said Hie cownuy. "I am going to marry :i little girl tfliwn cast. Ho you understand that?” / “I will wish you happiness." said the Indian girl, "when you have married the paleface.” > Andale went back to tlm Big X ranch that night feeling happy odd contented. He had no wish lo hrihgjiiisery to (lie heart of even an ItidiaV girl, and lie was glad Unit lie-had/xplaincd him wii i i 7WMH V" "4 kk JiOtT.U TO THE STAKES, self and made the girl understand the situation, lie had asked the Indian girl to go out for another ride a few nights later, as he did not wisli to break off their friendship. When he rode over that night. Anna met him in a manner Hint was cordial in one of her race, and the cowboy rejoiced again that slie Imd become so reconciled lo the .situation. Over the endless prairie it he two rode away into the night. Anna sitting behind Andale on his horse and iholdiug on by gripping the middle. Suddenly Andale fell a noose falling •over his shoulders and down his arms. It was jerked tight, and be was secure-ly pinioned. Another noose fell about litis neck. The girl reached over and drew the bridle rein and stopped the horse. Site alighted and. pulling the lariats Unit bound Andale, jerked him to the ground. She took a longer rope and bound him the more securely and then dragged him over the ground until she ctimc lo some stakes that she had put into the ground the day before. She carefully fastened the hands and feet of the cowboy to those stakes so that lie lay hat on his back, with his feet wide apart and his arms extended straight, out from his sides and so se-curely rolled to the stakes that lie could do but little more Ilian barely move. The cowboy laughed nt the girl at first. lie told her his friends would follow the trail and rescue him and punish her as she deserved. She re-minded the cowboy that all his friends had gone on a big drive and would not be back to (lie ranch for many days, while Ihe people at the ranch would think ho had gone on the drive. The long tiighj passed and the day enmo and the sun shone down pitilessly on the figure staked out on the burning sands. Night came on again and still the cowboy lay bound (o the stakes, looking straight up Into the heavens. The next day came, and then the cow-boy, his body swollen from the effects of the light ropes that bound Idm. stung by the bites of the hundreds of Insects that swarmed about hint, and wlili swollen longue distended from It is parched mouth, lay with blood red eyes still looking slraigtil up into the blaz-ing sky. lie cursed and screamed and shrieked aloud for vengeance. Then he would plead piteously for murder and beg that the Indian girl would shoot him. But sbo would only bend over and look into Ids face and taunt him. Finally the end came, and the Indian girl went back well pleased to Darling-ton and told of what slio laid done. When they put her in jail and a mob came and made an attempt to lynch her, she was greatly surprised. She could not understand but what she had done the right tiling. A man had tokl her that lie had loved her. He lied. She made him suffer as he had made her suffer. That was all. She had no saving grace of humor. ur Legend of the Dead Ship of Salem The sailormnn does not like to tell of tlio things he luis seen during Hie still watches of the night, but win his confidence and he will spin tales of gtiosts and dead men and skeletons and phantom ships that are enough lo make the shivers go up nnd down the spines of the most skeptical. Phantom ships are the sailor’s chief delight, and here is 1 he story of one that is some-times seen on tho New Kug- Innd coast: Tho I 'end Ship of Salem is well known off the Massachusetts shore. .Inst 200 years ago the ship was ready to sail lo Eng-land. when two mysterious peo-ple, whom none in tho village had ever seen before, came hurriedly aboard and secured pas-sage. They wore a young man and woman of strange but forbidding beau-ty. The ship was detained so long by adverse winds that the townspeople be-gan to suspect witchcraft and prophe-sied disaster. Hut the skipper jeered at tlieir fears, and when the wind changed put out to sen on Friday morn-ing. No word or sign of Unit sit ip or its living freight was ever heard or seen again. But later that same year in-coming vessels reported having met a crnlt with shining hull and luminous spars and stills spinning along with every cloth drawing in the teeth of one of the wildest of gales. A crew of skeletons manned tho ship, while on the quarter deck stood, arm in nrm, a handsome pair, a young man and a woman. /(lit* Han’* liny, It’s funny; a man arrives at the de-pot and, with a lot of people looking on. kisses li is third cousin or his wife’s brother’s sister or other distant kin lie has never seen before—women lie does not want to kiss and who do not care to kiss him.

APTAIN BEAUMONT hurt nr-t'lvetl But a few minutes Before us anil when we appeared was attempting to reassure Jack, who hail completely collapsed at litill-ing: that both Helen and I had disap-peared. Hu went to Helen and politely offered to assist liur to alight. “We must move out of this at once,” I said. “All depends upon our getting down the mountain and into some tawn, where these villains will not dare follow tis. All stay here while I recomioiter.” 1 had not dismounted, and spurred «i.y horse a few hundred yards west-ward. where 1 paused oil tlie verge of Hie plateau. The sun was rising at my buck and was pouring a flood of light •n tin* lowlands a thousand feet below. I swept my eye over the rolling Helds and woodland dotted with towns, vil-lages, hamlets and many a fair planta-tion. with its manor house surrounded hy the lints of lhi‘ field hands. Far in itir distance was a snakelike line In Hie road, moving forward, it seemed, as a reptile crawls—the cavalry that we had so nearly caught the day be-fore. now on their way hack to join tiie main force. I longed for a speak-ing trumpet sonorous enough to reach them, hut there was no hope for us now in them, and I brushed away ills appointment and made a survey of the ground directly before me nothing lint steep incline, so thickly wooded that tiie character of the ground was com-pletely hidden. On either hand was a mountain spur, between which ran a creek. I hesitated I 'tween taking one of these spurs and following the Lied of tiie creek. On the spurs we might be seen; by the creek we would lie con-waled under tiie trees. I decided in favor of tiie latter. Returning to camp, I informed tiie party of my decision. “Will yon join us. Captain Beau-mont?” I asked. “I’ve been limiting fo’ yo’ all fo’ days.” replied tiie captain, looking at Jack. "Now I’ve found yo’. I’m not likely to part witli yo’! Together we can whip the guerrillas.” “Not a dozen of them. Besides, we’ve had enough of that.” “What are you going to do with the horses?" asked Helen. “Mount tiie ladies,” suggested the captain. "Thank yo’.” observed Jack, "hut 1 don’t care to ride oil a horse with ills pose pointing to China and his tail at the stars." “No one could ride a horse over such a route," said I. "I’ll take care of the stock." I tethered them in the little pocket we were leaving, knowing that they were less likely to betray our where-abouts to our enemies there than if 1 turned them loose. “They'll starve," Jack remonstrated. "1 can't help it." “They shall not!" “Come, we have no time to lose.” But Jack set about collecting what little grass was to be had and piling it before them. The captain, seeing her determination, was soon on liis knees gathering grass and throwing it In her apron "1 hope the delay will not cost us our lives." 1 grumbled. “Now. (linger, I want you to go off to the right just as far as you can and still keep me in sight. Buck, you go to the left and do the same. But keep close, for it won't do for us to call to each other.” “Jack can make all sorts o’ noises— «ats. an owls an birds—so yo’ c-au’t tell ’em." Buck volunteered. “Good! We umy have occasion to pse her. You girls keep behind about the same distance as our flankers. When we get to the creek. Ginger is to work down it on the right bank. Buck •n the left, while I keep as near the week as possible. Captain Beaumont, will you act as rear guard?” “With pleasure, sir.” “lie'll go to sleep,” remarked .luck, “and be left behind.” “Not with you in front,” said the cap-tain. looking at her reproachfully. 1 gave the order to move. Making as little noise as possible, keeping each •tlier in sight, except occasionally whea the trees and underbrush were too thick, we proceeded to the brow of Hie plateau. Descending, we soon struck, the creek and, under cover of tlte trees, proceeded downward in open •rder, walking rapidly, keeping a sharp ookout ahead and on the flunks. We tad not gone far before an owl booted teliind me, and so natural was the cry that, bad I not been expecting it, I should ■ever have suspected it to have come from the throat of Jaqueline. Turn-ing, I saw botli girls pointing upward. On the very edge of the declivity and not far from where we had begun our descent a man was looking down from the plateau. We were so protected that ho could not see us, for, besides being among tiie trees, we were in comparative shadow, while the man above stood out boldly in tiie light. lie did not look like a guerrilla, but we hurried on. Discovering a great advantage in Jack’s signals, I called in the flankers ami the rearguard and arranged with them that Jack was to travel with me as trumpeter. The hoot of an owl would mean “hide.” a woodpecker's rapping “rally on the center,” tiie notes of a thrush "lake a back truck,” a hen's cackling “push forward in haste.” These signals being perfectly under-stood. we opened again ami advanced like a central sun and satellites. We had made the principal part of the descent, when, coming to a conven-ient. spot. I ordered a halt for rest, feel-ing a confidence that 1 had not felt since iny abduction—a confidence I should not have yielded to, for we were yet far from safety. The place of our halt was a delightful angle in tiie stream we were following. Jack stroll-ed away in sonreli of wild flowers and wns soon joined by Captain Beaumont, whose infatuation prevented him from thinking of aught else, even our com-mon danger. Buck stretched himself under a short mountain oak, clasped ids hands miller his bend, threw one leg over the bout knee of the other and looked straight up into the branches. Helen am! I were thus left alone. We silt down on the bank of the creek in view of the bubbling stream. Taking a slender stick in her hand, Helen be-gan to thrash the water. 1 saw that she was troubled, and I knew the cause. The harrier between us. which in a moment of intense excitement had faded out of sight, now loomed up again as ominously as ever. We sat without speaking. Jack and the cap-tain were chatting briskly, every now and again speaking loud enough for us to hear some word that told of the cap-tain's enthrallment. The silence be-tween Helen and myself grew painful. 1 could say nothing to break the spell. I could hut mutely express what 1 felt. Beaching out, I took her hand atid drew her to me. A shot! Looking upward to the plateau, I saw a horseman dashing off to the spur north of us, whose ridge led to the level ground we were approaching, it was plain that we had been discovered, that the shot was a signal and the horseman was going to head ns off. Tiie trouble had all come from Buck. I have no doubt we should have given the guerrillas tiie slip hud it not been PP /'Jg- - JS# XV Our enemy, wntrhlnq from the plaitmi, iHsttut red him. for his folly. There are certain idio-syncrasies in hoys that are as imtural to them ns for a duck to swim or a rob-in to fly. Unfortunately, at a critical moment Buck encountered an incident that called out one of these idiosyncra-sies. Gazing into the branches of tin* tree under which he lay. he ('spied a bird's nest. Unluckily, he noticed that a rock which admitted of a gradual as-cent stood directly under the tree. Climbing the rock, lie made his way among tiie branches and. leaning far out where the bright sun could shine directly on him, grasped for the treas-ure. Onr enemy, who was at tlie time watchiug from tiie plateau, discovered him. Calling the party together, 1 gave the order to push forward: not that there seemed to he any object in doing so, for we must expect to meet our pursu-ers. but we could not go back and could not stay where we were. Be-sides. motion would tend to pull to-gether the faculties of the party, every one of whom was appalled at this re-lapse into tiie frightful dangers they had so long endured, though Captain Beaumont showed only irritation at having his tete-a-tete with Jack inter-rupted. We had not gone far before we struck a path running parallel with the creek, which led us to a hamlet on a road leading north and south. There were but half a dozen houses in the place, including a small country store and a blacksmith shop. Before entering the town we consulted as to what we should do. “Get horses,” I proposed, “if there Is time.” “Or a horse and wagon.” said Helen. “I reckon we better hide,” wns Buck’s proposition. “Let's get clothes,” suggested Jack, “and dr-ws up like village people.” 1 looked at Helen. Jack’s proposi-tion appeared to strike her with tiie same force It struck me. Of all things the guerrillas would expect us to do, disguising ourselves and going about the town as If we belonged there would be the last “Done!” I said as we entered the place. “Scatter. Tell the Deonle tiie guerrillas are after us. anil they’ll help us. We’ll have from It) to 15 minutes to prepare.” CHAPTER XX. W A MASQUERADE. HAT became of tiie others 1 did not nttempt to discover. I made straight for the blacksmith shop and found a smith at Ills forge. "My good man." I said, “I’m followed by guerrillas. They’ll lie in the town In a few minutes. Can't you give me your clothes nml let me take your place j at the forge?” He stood with Ids hand on the hnn- ; die of tiie bellows looking nt me while what 1 said was slowly making its way through Ids skull. "Weel, noo,” he said nt last. “Scotch—I knew it. I'll he taken be-fore I can make him understand.” Then to him, "Do you want to save me from death by guerrillas?” “Certain, moil.” “Then take off that apron and give It to me at once. Not a moment to lose.” At tIiis Juncture the desperate posi-tion I was in entered his bruin, and lie worked quickly enougli once he real-ized what was wanted. I saw a wool-en shirt, well begrimed, hanging on a nail and. seizing it, put it on. Then ! took the smith's apron, rolled up my sleeves, smeared my arms with cinders and looked into a hit of broken mirror resting against the wooden wall to ob-serve the effect. I was disappointed to see that my face belied my calling. “Your razor!” I exclaimed to the blacksmith. He went through a door leading from the shop to Ids dwelling and returned with a razor, soap and hot water. In live minutes 1 had shorn my heard, leaving a dark stubble: then, seizing a Im11<1 fill of coke, rubbed out every re-filled lineament. Taking another look at myself, I was pleased to see that my own mother would not know me. Seiz-ing tiie handle of tiie bellows, 1 began to blow vigorously. “Weel, weel," laughed the black-smith, “ye mak’ a better lo’kiu smith than geeiitlonmn.” "Play your own part well.” I replied, “and 1 have something nice for you at the end of the performance.” It was fully 15 minutes after we readied the hamlet before there were any signs of the guerrillas, and then three or four rode into tin* town and asked for our party. Had they seen ns? Which way had we gone? and oth-er questions. which the few people they met responded to with a grunt or a shake of the head. I put my head out to see and. recognizing one of them, drew hack and began to blow my bel-lows as if my life depended on it. And it did. Presently one of the outlaws rode up to the shop. "llello. tliar!" he shouted. “Waal.” I replied, still blowing and keeping my face turned from him. "Seen a man. two women, a boy an a nigger go through the town?” “Halu’t seen no one.” “Sim’?” “Sbo’ ntiff." He rode off. but 1 knew tiie storm had not yet blown over. I went on working the bellows, and it was well 1 did so, for presently more of the hand rode into town, and one of tiie horses having lost a shoe, its rider dismounted in front of the shop and told me to put It on. This was something I had uot count-ed on. 1 knew no more about horse-shoeing than about knitting, but I put a bold face on the matter and went to work. “What tiie yo* doln?” yelled tiie man. "Air yo' goln ter put that shoe on with nary trluimiu?" "Don't yo' s'pose 1 know my busi-ness?" ! cried, bristling "1 was only llttlu ll.” With that I seized a knife and began to cut. But I was too excited to pure the hoof eveu if I had been an expert, and in another moment Hie man yelled again. "l!f yo’ cut that critter's lioof off. I’ll brain yo'!" j ‘‘Here. Sandy.” I cried to the black-smith witliiu. '"come shoe this man s critter. lie thinks lie knows Miore’n l do about shoein." The blacksmith finished tiie job. while i. pretending to lie greatly irri-tated. was glad to escape into fits dwelling house. Going to a front win dow and dropping a curtain so that 1 could look into the road without being seen, 1 took a view of the situation The guerrillas were scattered about the town, some riding around the houses hunting for us. others sitting on their horses, questioning the Inhabitants as to our whereabouts. Captain Ringold wns in command. A negro boy was playing “hopscotch” on the sidewalk. The captain called to him: “Yo’ boy tbar. didn't yo’ see anybody go this way awhile ago?” "Two women an a boy 'bout big ’s me?" “Yes.” “An a white man an a colored man?” "Yes. Which way did they go?” “Dey's gwine light 'loug dar.” And he pointed lo a path leading across the road westward. "Here, you,” cried the captain to two men who were watering their horses at a wooden trough In front of the shop, "strikeout on that path.” The men darted away, leaving the eaptain alone in the road. A little old woman came out of a house opposite and began to guy him in a cracked voice, poking fun nt him for not being tilde to catch a party of women. She talked so familiarly with him that 1 began to suspect she knew him. I trembled for fear she would betray us. "You uus ain’t wo'th a persimmon,” she said. "With them critters’ legs un-der ycr. yer orter ketch winnnen folks easy." , “We'll catch ’em easy enough. They’ve gone along tlinr,” pointing to the path his men were just dashing Into.

Coroner Taylor, of Fayette county,
held an inquest Tuesday on the body of
Jesse Harper, who was shot by Blaine
Kittle at No 11 Leisering two months
i ago. The jury returned a verdict hold-i
ing William Rhone and Blaine Kittle as
principals and Mrs William Rhone as
an accessory to the crime.
Harper was a negro and was living
I with Mrs Kittle, who is white. The
two quarreled and Blaine Kittle, a son
of the woman, went to the house of
j William Rhone, where he secured a re
volver, returned and shot Harper
through the body. Kittle, who is only
10, then fled and has not yet been nppre
bended. After the killing Mrs. Kittle
and her daughters were sent to the
Fayette county home where they are
now living.
Mrs. Nicola Gallo Caught Almost Red-Handed Setting Fire to John A.
Stevenson’s Coal House and is Now In Jail.
MRS. LOUIS SABBARESE RELEASED ON BAIL.
The hearing in the case of Mrs. Louis Sabbarese, the Italian
woman charged with having tired the John A. Stevenson vacant
warehouse building which burned to the ground last Wednesday,
was held before Justice McWilliams Friday morning last. While
the defendant swore that she had not been nearer the scene of the
tire that day than her own home, one witness for the prosecution
testified to having seen her come out of the alley leading from the
old warehouse shortly before the alarm was given. Another wit-ness
swore to having seen Mrs. Sabbarese pouring something
around the weather-boarding from an oil can. Justice McWilliams
reserved his decision and as he couldn’t take bail for arson the
defendant had to go to j til. Mr. McWilliams decided on Monday
to hold tier for court. The court then fixed the amount of her
hail at $1,00(1, on which she was at once released.
The burned building wasoue of the stoutest frame structures in
the town, having been built about half a century ago by A. Over-holt
& Co., tint West Overton distillers, who used it to store their
whiskey and Hour in until shipments by wagon could be made to
both eastern and western points. Of late years the big building
had been used by the owner, Mr. Stevenson, for tenement purposes,
although at the time of the lire il was entirely vacant
Mrs. Frances Gallo, the Polish wife of the well known old
Italian tailor who now lives in a small house on the rear of John
It. Walker’s property, close to the ruins of the warehouse, was ar-rested
Monday by Constable Thompson and, as the result of a
hearing before the same justice, was sent to jail at Greeusburg
charged with having twice attempted to burn Mr. Stevenson’s con 1
house. She set the place on tire Sunday morning, but the Haines
j were discovered and put out before any damage was doue. A
watch was then placed ou the building and she was seen to make
! the second attempt about 11 o'clock Monday morning when her
I arrest followed.
The prisoner is undoubtedly weak minded and she is looked
upon generally its having been a mere tool for more cunning
minds. Fires, however, seem to have followed the Gallos, for, it
can be recalled that when the Braddoek block burned they lived
in tiie rear of it. The same can be said of the tires at the National
Hotel stables, Bob Goodman's chicken coop. Miss Flora Duncan's
property and the old warehouse. When about to be locked iu her
cell Mrs. Gallo told Constable Thompson that she would make a
clean breast of the whole matter at the proper time.

A PLUCKY GIRL.
She Escapes From a Burly Negro Assail-ant
at Uniontown.
At Uniontown Friday night as Miss
Tillie Ham, a saleswoman, was
going to her home, she was followed by
a large colored man, who sprang upon
her and threw one arm about her neck
and with the other hand closed her
mouth and prevented her from scream-ing.
He attempted to drag her to a back
street but she resisted vigorously and
he struck her twice in the face, threat-ening
to kill her if she made any out-cry.
She still fought her assailant and
finally got loose from him and escaped
to a neighbor’s, minus her hat, with her
clothes torn and hair disheveled.
The alarm was given and officers
searched nearly all night, but could not
find the man. Miss Harn says if she
had not bad her gloves on she would
have whipped him. Her face is bruised
and scratched, and her plucky fight is
the talk of the town.

VIU.—Nascent Periods; Doll
Play.
fiPlTlIOTIT the example
and the suggestion
of others few gil'la
would play doll, hui
without n native irn-kind
the example and
on barren
two forces
pulse of some
suggestion would fall
ground. Where these
meet and fructify we have the nas-cent
period for doll play. The doll Is for the child mainly a means of repre-sentation.
It affords him an opportunity for imitation and thus of realization
of experience which coiSd not otherwise be obtained. Mr. Kills shows that
within the doll period solid dolls are preferred at the beginning, but toward
the end of the period paper dolls arc much more in demand. The facts show
that these latter are desired, among other reasons, because they are easier of
manipulation. They may be manufactured quickly, and a greater number
may he used. These features appear to be advantageous because by means of
them more complex representations can be carried out.
It has been customary for adults to refer the girl’s doll play to the instinct
of motherhood. Dr. Harris repeats this notion and says that girls give up play-ing
with dolls when they do because of the approach of puberty and with it
the emotion of shame. The girl begins to feel the unsat isfactoriness of a mere
symbol of a baby because she is able to desire more intensely the reality.
Rut, as Mr. Ellis’ carefully collated observations show, girls play all kinds
of things besides mother and baby with dolls. Cross teacher is a favorite game.
Actual dolls are not absolutely necessary. A row of buttons will do for the
Children and a bigger one for the teacher. At other times the child uses her-self
or other children, animals, etc., for some of the characters. This runs into
forms where dolls are dispensed with.
Any event whieh is striking to the child is represented by means of dolls.
Sickness, death and funerals are very common. The problems of the future
life are not neglected. After being killed and buried, dolls are dug up to
see if they have gone to heaven. President Stanley Ilall gives a ease
where children had tied one big doll to the gaselier. This doll was called
the god doll. When tlielr other dolls died, they were given one loss upward.
If they touched the god doll, they went to heaven; If not, they went to the
other place. Dolls are by uo means always babies. They are quite frequent-ly
about the same age as the person who plays with them and are often
supposed to he grown up. Colored dolls are also frequent with white chil-dren
and militate against the exclusiveness of the motherhood idea.
Tljc range of complexity of the matters represented by means of dolls is
only limited by the experience and imagination of the children. The present
writer collected a number of plays with dolls, which are very significant for the
educator. The following may he cited as an example: Children of about the
a£o of 11 used to play doll in an attic, especially on rainy days. Here they
hiid a number of stands and tables. On one of these they had black dolls
out out of paper. This was Africa. On another they had Chinese dolls painted
with gayly colored clothing. From their parents they obtained tea and rice,
which were laid on the table. On another stand they had tattooed savages,
representing south sea islanders. They made ships of paper and carried the
products of one country to another. Missionaries landed on the south sea
islands and were duly killed and eaten up. They read all they could about
these countries and wearied their parents with questions. During all this
time they never once thought of asking their teacher for Information, al-though
she was teaching geography at the time. She was occupied largely with
the definition of continents, Islands, etc. She also concerned herself much
with (he boundaries of states and their capitals. As for the geography and
history, the economics, the literature and the art work involved in the chil-dren's
doll play, these wore not shown on lie course of study. The children
showed ordinary common sense In not going to her for information or for
help.
Children’s doll play reveals almost everything they are thinking about.
They whisper secrets to them; they show by their treatment of them their
real feelings as to right and wrong, justice, punishments, ole. By moans of
them they objectify their own inner states and make internal (heir outer
observations. This is all done in the most concrete manner possible. It is
no abstract representation. Movements and bodily feelings arc called into play
as well as reactions of a more intellectual order. Doll play, in fact, from a
brain standpoint, is a means of transition from the preponderant activity of
the kina-stlietic regions, connected with the bodily movements and feelings
characteristic of the earlier years to that of 1lie associational regions neces-sary
for complete human development.
Doll play thus means the coming in of wide trains of imaging, which at
first arc not easily controlled without some other sensation. The child puts
a big button down for the cross teacher. The imagination paints this figure
for a little while and then goes on to the smaller buttons. The child is now
free to pay complete attention in this direction. If the buttons were not
there, it would happen at this stage, with ft narrow memory span, that the
first image or train of images about the teacher would be forgotten.
Rut now, coming 1o the end of the second train of images, she sees the big
button before her eyes. Slie is immediately brought back to the first image
and can go on with it, modifying it in every direction. The buttons have been
the means of her organizing or holding together a larger range of images or of
increasing her power to pay attention or to grasp a wide assemblage of events.
This synthotizing power is essential in a properly developed human being, and
the long period of childhood would bean advantage in the struggle for exist-ence
if tins alone were gained.
It ma.v be said that the teacher, when she braces her pupils in their scats,
suppresses every movement and focuses attention to the minutest circle
possible, is attempting to do something of the same kind. This may be possible
in the upper grades, but within the nascent period for doll play nature has a
better way. Slie begins with the movements1 and bodily sensations and out of
them develops somewhat irregularly and by fits and starts the higher nsso-ointional
centers, which means the manipulation of wider trains of images.
Always some of the dolls or buttons are kept in motion and are being con-stantly
felt and bandied as well as seen and thought about. If there are gaps
in the train of images, as is natural, those are filled up with movements and
bodily sensations. There is then the largest possible synthesis, since all
these things are connected in one experience and not divided as in ordinary
recitations, The personal perception of the body, which means sensation, will
power, health and energy, is not sacrificed. Automatisms and other signs of
fatigue do not appear. Double personality Is not encouraged. The Intellec-tual
imaging is carried on the surface of a healthy emotional condition.
Growth is made possible, since the roots as well as the leaves are allowed to
live.
These partial experiences are made much more complete when they are
acted out, but since many of these require also the co-operation of others,
which is not obtainable when needed, a substitute is found which is controlla-ble—
namely. representation in miniature by means of dolls. The Irritating
desires caused by or identical with these dammed up images arc thus radi-ated
and discharged. Doll play is a movement toward a more complete ex-perience,
and it succeeds because it docs not suppress, but liberates and
synthetizes, energy.
In its more general aspects it is, of course, evident that doll play is sim-ply
typical of many other forms of play into which the intellectual and so-cial
element enters to any extent.
A complete psychological history of the child would give us a detailed ac-count
of thousands of such nascent periods as those already mentioned. They
would overlap one another in every imaginable way, as they actually do in
life. Their discovery and analysis would give us the keys by which we
eouid bring to bear at the proper time the most suitable environment for the
mental and moral nutrition of the child. Time would be saved and in-jury
avoided, for we would uo longer be in danger of working on immature
capacities nor of neglecting others until their period of growth has passed by
forever. What au advantage, for example, it would be if instead of need-ing
to support a compulsory education; department we had a child study ac-count
of this problem of truancy and vagabondage which would reveal its
nascent period and display the desires and images which make up the mental
condition of the truant, the signs by wbicU these are indicated and the
means by which they may be radiated and discharged or made part of a com-pleter
form of living.
The child of the present day and the savage child were probably alike in
•ne respect—they were both most thoroughly impressed each by his own en-vironment.
It takes very little sense of proportion to see that the modern
home is to the modern child what the ancient wigwam was to the savage
child. The child of the stone age did not probably banker after a period 500,-
000 years before his time. Why should the modern child do so either?
The theory Is really a piece of mysticism and derived from a course of
study standpoint rather than from the natural interests of the child. This Is
not. however, saying that children have no interest in history nor that building
wigwams, making pottery, etc., arc not a great improvement on what formerly
occupied the ground. These occupations are after all a form of play. The
difficulty is that they have half the life taken out of them by being predestined
by the teacher. By this conduct the teacher robs the children of a consid-erable
part of the motor side of life and lessens their opportunities for find-ing
themselves a cause. Moreover, by compelling sotm children to make pot-tery,
e, g., who would rather do something else she also loses that variety
which Is essential to any concrete 'realization of life or satisfactory organiza-tion
of society.

IRRITABLE WOMEN
Should be Pitied — Not Blamed —
Men Don’t Understand How They
Suffer When They Cry, “ Oh, Don’t
Speak to Me.”
All maimer of extravagant expressions are possible when a woman’s
nerves are overwrought.
The spasm at the top of the wind pipe or bronchial tubes, “ball
rising in the throat,” violent beating of the heart, laughing anil crying
by turns, muscular spasms (throwing the arms about), frightened by the
most insignificant occurrences—are all symptoms of a hysterical condi-tion
and serious derangement of the female organs.
Any female complaint may produce hysterics, which must he re-garded
as a symptom only. The cause, however, yields quickly to
Lydia 13. Pinlthain’s Vegetable Compound, which acts at once upon
the organ alUicted aud the nerve centres, dispelling effectually all those
distressing symptoms.

As Judged From the Past Week's
f Trade Reports
WHEN CAREFULLY COMPILED
FOR THE CONVENIENCE OF READ-ERS
OF THE JOURNAL.
Some Time AKO it Was Feared That the
Injury Done the Corn Crop Would
Cripple the Railroade By the LOHB of
Tonnage, But Scarcity of Cnre Haa De-moralized
Numerous Industries. The
Demand for all Classes of Merchandise
Continues Healthy.
A few months ago injury to the corn
crop aroused feara that the railroads
would be seriously handicapped by the
loss of tonnage, yet the season of grain
•• traffic has not only failed to produce de-creased
enmities, bnt there is such a
scarcity of rolling stock and motive
power that numerous industries are
badly demoralized. In so far as these
interests are concerned, the reduction
, in corn freight proves a blessing. Rail
way earnings in October were 11.3 per
cent greater than last year and 81.2 per
cent over IS!)!), while those road report
inR for the first week of November show
an average gain of !).S per cent.
A healthy demand is reported through-out
the country in all leading lines of
merchandise, while sales of wintergoods
have attained normal proportions and
holiday business promises to surpass nil
records. In manufacturing there was
never before such well-sustained activ l
ity, with contracts running past the
^ middle of next year.
This is especially true in the case of!
steel rails and many other products of
iron, while in building material, felt, j
footwear and most textile branches
there is little prospect of idleness !
Money circulates freely, making eollec-1
tions satisfactory in most sections.
Hank exchanges in New Kork for the
week were 8 H per cent, larger than a
year ago and 32.1 per cent, over IHiMi,
while at other leading cities the gains
were 10.2 and It.2, respectively.
Unprecedented conditions in the iron
and steel industry are shown by the* sta-tistics
of pig iron on November 1. ns
published by the Iron Age. Furnaces
in blast were producing at the late of
820,824 tons weekly, which far surpasses
i all previous records. With a production
of 10,000 tons weekly above the previous
top point it might be expected that sup
plies would increase or at least remain
stationary. On the contrary, furnace
stocks on November I were 27)1,251 tons,
or much less than a single week's out
|mt nrnl a decrease of 88,342 tor the
month of October. Carrying the com
parison back a year gives an idea of tbe
marvelous strides made in this industry.
Since November. 1800, the weekly cap
acity of furnaces in blast has increased
from 215,304 tons to 320,824, while fur-nace
stocks have declined from 041.400
to 275,281 tons. Yet there has been no
inflation of prices, and the speculative
element is entirely lacking, a sign that
no disastrous collapse is to be feared.
While shipments of footwear from
Boston eontinnefarin excess of previous
years and factories are well employed,
the situation is not satisfactory. Prices
are not maintained at a profitable point
vowing to the phenomonal strength of
material and the stubborn resistance of
buyers
Print cloths at Fall River are quiet,
recent unusual events having produced
a tendency to await developments.
Both buyers and sellers made sufficient
concessions on the brown goods to se
cure large export sales. Further gains
are recorded in woolens, business reach-ing
the best of the season.
Failures for the week were 216 in the
United States, against 217 last year, and
and 27 in Canada, against 33 last year.
