1t teaches the child by stimulating its
imaginative nature and inventive fac
ulties. Such features are lost alto
gether in the elaborate mechanical
toys that leave nothing for the child
to do but press a button or release a
catch and watch 1t go.
Children of wealthy parents are
not happy with their playthings. The
little fellow who cannot take a step
in the nursery without having to dodge
an electric train or take a chance of
having a toy flying machine hit him
on the ear has not the opportunity
to learn how to play. The playing is
all done for him by the inventor who
made the toy and by his doting papa
or rich bachelor uncle who bought the
expensive toy for him and taught him
to run it. The child is neglected"
What we are trying to do through
our exhibit is to teach parents that
their children have a normal play i'm
pulse which can be more easily graft
fed with a few simple toys that tend
to inspire the child's Imagination and
inventive nature than by all the COM
plicated and mechanical toys in the
world"

Solve Mystery of an Ancient Ghost

strange thing came about when the
giant elm in question, probably more
than 100 years old, was felled at the
instigation of the public grounds de-
partment.
When the big elm fell it was dis
covered that about thirty feet of it's
top was hollow, and inside was found
ar owl Of the bald-headed variety
sleeping as quietly as though nothing
had happened. The inside of the tree
was found to be filled with egg shells,
corr cobs and various other refuse
which the owl had from time to time
taken there. While the owl occupied
a conspicuous place in the tree, calm
ly nesting in a heap In the bottom Of
the hole, there was a mother and
father chipmunk with twenty-five lit
tie ones.
People of the district who have re-
sided there for twenty-five years are
glad that the mystery has been
solved. They have been trying to dis
cover for years the cause Of all the
nightly gruesome noises which have
on more than n occasion frightened
the women of the district who have
been obliged to return to their homes
after dark.

Horse Stealing Reduced to Science

have a way of changing the appear
nee of both horses and wagons and
the task of recovering the stolen prop
erty is rendered extremely difficult.
No mans horse is safe in the streets
Of the city. The horse of the big de-
partment store is as likely to disap-
pear as the horse and wagon Of the
small grocer or butcher. Detectives
say that the theft is easily covered
up. Within six hours after the horse
and wagon disappear a transformation
is made, which is SO complete that
few n can identify their proper
ty. The horse Is shorn of his name
and tail, white legs are dyed a color
corresponding with the body of the
horse. and cases have been known
where a stolen horse was described as
having a bobbed tail, where the horse
when finally recovered was found to
have had a very beautiful tail, at
tached to the former stub.
The same with the wagon. A gayly
painted wagon is soon transformed In
to a dilapidated peddler's wagon. The
top is removed, dashboard knocked
off, and a dirty drab or brown coat
of paint reduces the wagon that cost
from $3.50 to 5000 to n that, when
the thief sells it, will not bring more
than $50.

Teaching Parents What Toys to Buy

CHICAGO. - Parents of Chica. 20
~ boys and girls do not know how to
buy toys for their children"
1t was upon this assumption that the
committee on homes of the child Wrl-
fare exhibit had on exhibition at tse
Coliseum a child's play shop" In it
there was on display an endless variesy
of toys, but foremost of all were the
new "do-with" toys introduced for TIE
first time in Chicago by Miss Caroliyze
Pratt, who had charge of the toy ex-
hibft. Miss Pratt was in charge of tae
same department Of the exhibit En
New York.
Chicago parents are as deplorabsy
ignorant in the matter of buyiag
proper toys for their children as par
ents the country over she told a re-
porter. They don't know the first
thing about it. What they do in most
cases when they go shopping in tile
toy department of a store is to bay
toys that they like to play with therl-
Selves
That, of course, is the reason we
have a play shop exhibit. This e.-
hibit is planned for the education .sf
all the parents of Chicago-but, ~
the way, it Is the well-to-do fathess
and mothers who are most ignorant
Of all along this line. What We ey-
pect to teach them Is the real merit Of
a do with toy.
"A do with toy is one that will
teach the child how to do things. With
it a boy OF girls can carry out definit.
play schemes. It should be simple.

MRS. H. [. BURTON
 KILLED BY A CAR
MRS. ED SPEAR AND INFANT
 CHILD, IN SAME BUGGY, Es, CAPPED WITHOUT HARM.
Injured Woman Was HurrIedIy Re- moved to St. Joseph's But Died Within An Hour After the
 Injury.

Mrs. H. c. Burton, wife of H. C. Burton, of 12S Gaines avenue, was killed Sunday afternoon about 5 o'clock on Wilmington avenue when Ia buggy in which she was riding col lided with a large electric car, and Mrs. Burton was thrown under the rear wheels, which passed over part of her body.
 The accident was one of the most distressing that has happened in thls city for many years. That Mrs. Ed spear, daughter of Mrs. Burton and Mrs. Spears infant cElid, did not meet a similar fate, Is almost remarkaole. They were occupants of the buggy with Mrs. Burton, and were thrown violently out when the collision took place, but escaped with but few bruises.
 Mrs. Burton's injuries were sucn that medical aid could hope for llttle relief. When the buggy and car col lided she was probably thrown around the front wheels. but in some manner was shifted under the car and run over by the rear wheels. Her lett nmb was crushed almost to pieces, being broken in several places. sne was crushed and bruised about the arms and breast, ana never gained consclousness after the fall.
 Mrs. Spear and the infant child were thrown out put rolled into sal ety. The buggy was entirely demol- ished, and the horse slightly 1n1ureo. Coroner pr. Randolph will hold an
 investigation of the accident at $ o'clock tonight at the city hall, which will develop the detail of the lnci- dent.
 1t is stated that Mrs. Spear, Mrs.
 Burton, and the baby, were occupants of the buggy and were driving east
 on Wilmington avenue about the corner of the convent, when the horse became unmanagaOie. Abuot that time large car, with Joe Terry as
 motorman, is said to have come into view, and with a large flasn light
 ablaze, to have blinded the horse,
 which cut across the car tracks Iust as the car approached.
 Ed Spear, son-in-l law Of the victim of the accident. has been about De- troit and Chicago, and could not pc located yesterday, but is probably en- lroute home, and Is looked for today, and the funeral will be held after his arrival. Mrs. Burton Is survlv- ed by her husband, daughter, Mrs. Ed, Spear, and a son, Robert Burton.

CAPITAL CITY PARK
COVETED BY LEAGUE
Efforts Being Made to Ar
range Agreement With
Aloysius Club.

A meeting of the Capital City
League will be held this evening at
the home of Vice President Ross j.
Blosser, 81 K street northwest, to
see if some agreement can be made
with the Aloysius Club for the use of
the Capital City Park.

fact that Gonzaga College. which has
primary control over the grounds
gave the right of playing on the dia-
mond when the dates did not conflict
with those of the college, TO the Alloy
sius Club. The park will hereafter
be known as GonZaga Park.

Maurice O'ConnOr to confer with the
Capital City officials, and a meeting
of the club will be held next Sunday
to consider any proposition the anna
teur leaguers may have to offer.
