Mama at tbe Pbone.
Our phone is on a party wire,
Our letter it is L,
And when some one would speak to us
The central rings the bell ;
And mama, when she hears it ring,
Unless she is alone,
Calls out to all the family:
"Somebody 'tend the phone!"
When some one calls up J or R
Or B upon the line
Our telephone it does not ring,
But flutters faint and fine;
And when she hears within the box
That call for those unknown,
Whatever else she has on hand
Then mama's at the phone.
Anon she hears the gentle purr
Within the wooden box
She's darning sister's stockings
Or little brother's socks
But these she quickly lays aside;
" 'Three pounds and plenty bone'
-"She's getting soup for dinner,"
Says mama at the phone.
Another flutter in the box
Brings mama to her feet;
"Sh ! 'This is Mrs. Jones,' " she says,
"Of Umpty-umptieth street;
'One ticket for the gallery'
"She must be going alone;
'O, yes; it's for the matinee,' "
Adds mama at the phone.
Sometimes when mama hears the purr,
Say once or twice a week,
She lingers at the telephone
And smiles, but does not speak,
And when we ask, "What's doing now?"
In an impatient tone,
"Go on and play and never mind,"
Says mama at the phone.

A Modern Judgment of Paris.
A quadroon and an octoroon,
A 6tory doth aver,
Engaged in hot dispute as to
Which was the handsomer.
Until, as they could not agree,
So filled were both with pride,
They did resolve to leave it to
'Squire Billings to decide.
'Squire Billings shifted slow bis plug,
Most solemnly did spit,
And 'lowed the octoroon one had
"A shade the best of it!"

THE TEDDY BEAR CRAZE
INE HURST is fast getting
into line on the "Teddy"
bear craze. Every child
has one or more of the
"pets" of various sizes
and colors, and from
which they are loath to part day or night,
and there is indication that &oine young
women would quickly fall into line if
they "darest." One of the fair sex is the
proud possessor of a monster Teddy, with
which she has promised to dine in public
once a day, and numerous others have
the treasures for boudoir companions.
In New York the craze has extended
to the women of the "four hundred," and
pert French poodles, toy spaniels, grif
fons and even the poms, have had to take
back seats, and instead of the aristocratic
muzzle of a pedigreed canine peering
from the window of a smart brougham,
one now sees a big cinnamon or white
"Teddy" bear sitting in dignified silence
by the side of it3 mistress, garbed in the
very latest mode of bear clothes, or when
the weather is fine, adorned with only
huge ribbon bows about the neck and
ankles, the color of the ribbon harmon
izing with milady's gown.
If not accompanying stylishly gowned
women in their victorias, broughams or
hansoms, they will be seen occupying a
prominent place astride the lamps of a
"gasoline buzz wagon," or seated in a
commanding position beside the chauf
feur. Frequentlv thev are seen accom
panying stylishly gowned women on
shopping tours and are carried into the
shops with as much pride as though the
burden were the proud offspring of old
and aristocratic lineage.
Some wealthy women have appeared
on the streets with bejeweled "Teddy's"
whose collars and clothing are worth a
small fortune and the innovations which
are constantly coming to the front in the
way of new bear modes are interesting
in the extreme. Costumes for "Teddy"
have become quite elaborate and all man
ner of clothing for all and every occasion
can now be purchased from skating cos
tumes to an entire Indian outfit in which
he appears as war-like as the original
prototype of the plains.
No divorce suits as yet have been
chronicled emanating from the "Teddy"
bear craze, but rumors in the air indicate
that the husbands of New York society
women are considering taking active
measures to put a quietus on the fad.
while foundling societies declare that it
is perfectly shameful for women to lavish
so much affection upon plush toys when
there are so many healthy children who
so sorely need a mother's care and atten
tion. Even preachers in the metropolis have
begun to look askance upon the fad and
have been thinking of making the absurd
craze, as they call it, as the text of their
Sunday sermons, "but the sale of the
"Teddy" bears goes on apace and dealers
all say it is quite impossible to supply the
demand.
Atlantic City, it is claimed, is the birth
place of the craze. As the story goes, a
young couple were walking down the
board walk and stopped to admire the
display of a certain toy dealer, prominent
among whose wares were several big
brown plush bears. One huge fellow,
fully four feet tall, especially delighted
the young woman.
"I'll tell you what I'll do," promptly
replied her escort. "If you'll carry that
bear for one turn down the board walk
I'll buy it for you."
"It's a bargain," quite as promptly re
plied the young woman, entering into the
spirit of the fun, and, accepting the dare
to her word, she took the bear in her
arms and took not only one, but several
turns down thefamous promenade.
Consternation reigned for a time among
the pedestrians, but entering into the
idea it wasn't long before the young wo
man's example was followed almost gen
erally, and from that time on it was never
an unusual thing to see the occupants of
the wheeled chairs, as well as pedestrians
of the resort, carrying in their arms or
sitting beside a big Teddy bear. Within
a few days every bear in the place had
been sold, and many a child mourned the
loss of a pet while the mother rejoiced in
its possession. When a bit later the craze
struck New York it took in the same
manner as at Atlantic City.
It was a comfortable old German frau
who originated the idea of manufacturing
the bears. She is Mrs Marguerita Steiff,
and lives but a few miles from Dresden.
It has been her business to stuff animals,
and for the past fifteen years has pro
duced most of those seen in the shops.
It was just a happening that she manu
factured the bear, never dreaming of the
popularity it was to enjoy, but because
some wise American dealer brought them
forward simultaneously with one of
President Roosevelt's famous bear hunts
in the Rockies, entitling them "Teddy's"
bears, the association of ideas pleased the
American public, and it is doubtful if
they will ever be known under any other
sobriquet.
Today Frau Steiff is running a factory
devoted entirely to the manufacture of
bears and employing all the women and
children she can obtain. She finds it quite
impossible to supply the demand from
New York alone, let alone the entire
American market. Recently several
American manufacturers have essayed to
make the bears, but even with this added
source of supply half the time the toy
dealers are short of bear stock.
How long the fad will last no one can
tell, but the fact is that most of the big
cities of the country are "Teddy" bear
crazy, and Pinehurst as far as its juvenile
population is concerned, is already in line
and "threatened" in other directions.
An Opportunity.
Jimblecute Say, have you forgotten
that $10 you borrowed of me some weeks

Bobalong Oh, no ; I still have it in
mind.
Jimblecute Well, don't you think it
would be a good idea to pay up and re
lieve your mind ?
