"Hoss" Verret Tells
 Why Fence Was Bull
Didn't Believe in Letting Excursion. ists Tear Down His Beautiful
 Lawn and Flowers.

Editor Graphic:--
 I want to say in reply to your item in the Graphic of the Fist inst, in regard to the fence that is being erected at the back of the court house, that it is being done by Mir. Jeff Hicks at the request of the custodian, who is trying to keep nice yard, and beautify the place with flowers; but found it was impossible to have either, unless something was done to protect my work. I worked too hard to get the place looking as we'll as il does, to let great crowds congregate at night, and tear up in thirty min- utes, what it took me six months to accomplish Then something had to be done, either build fence, oe move the boat landing.

TALKS WITH MOTHERS
TOYS.

| TINS is the time "t the year when old
! Kriss KringIe. aided and abetted by a
million moth.rs and fathers throughout
the land. begins his yearly quest for
! toys OF all kinds with which to fill the
! Christmas stockings and decorate the
\ Christmas tree.
! 1t is common. but a deplorable praC-
/ tice TO furnish the child with countless
playthings. the vast majority of which
| he would he better without. \ trip
! through the toy department of any
! large department store will show coun-
ter after counter piled with complicated
n neChanical toys. brilliantly and poison
ously painted toys. toys which amuse
instructive toys. toys which alarm and
t,rrlfy, and toys which split the ear
drums.
What principles then should guide a
mother in the selection of playthinEs
for her son or daughter? The same care
should be exercised in buying toys for
child that she uses in regulating his
diet and the other details of his daily
life. A major part of the day of a child
is devoted 10 play, his toys are his con-
slant companions, and by them his
imagination and reasoning may be
nodded into channels which will affect
his whole future life.
The first and most obvious precaution
in buying toys is the selection OF such
as will not be absolutely Injurious
Brilliantly coloTed toys are objects of
suspicion. The mother should always
keep in mind the small child's habit of
putting everything into his mouth and
not subject her child to the risk OF poi
soning by dyes. Then too. the wooley
or hairy covering Of toy animals may
be pulled of and swallowed by the
child. The very young child should not
be given marbles or other small objects
which can be swallowed or stuffed into
the nose or ears. Toys with sharp
points are also not desirable as they
afford the child opportunity to injure
himself. Easily broken toys should not
be selected for obvious reasons.
Mechanical toys. as rule. are unde-
sirable. Some of these are marvels of
ingenuity and at first glance would ap- |
pear to be instructive and fascinating |
pIaythings But there are several OBJ
jections to them. In the first place they |
are usually more expensive than the
average mother can afford. They soon
pail upon the child who. after seeing |
the same thing done over and over
again, takes the plaything to pieces to
find out how it is done and then. the
scrap heap sees the end of the toy.
Toys which startIe or frighten the
child should never be given. This in
cludes such denominations as masks, or
false faces" ''jaCks-in-the-bON." &C.
Small children may be badly frightened
and even thrown into commissions by
these so-called toys, and older children,
after the first surprise or alarm at see
ing them has worn of. are apt to take
delight in frightening younger children
with them.
1t is better to buy a child too few toys
rather than too many. Children who are
furnished with new toys constantly soon
become hard to please and tire of a toy
easily. They are interested in toy for
a few days only. and when its novelty
The Washington herald., 1912-12-08

has dulled it is tossed aside for some
thing new. Thus they come to lose ap-
probation and the sense of value.
What kind Of toys should a mother huy
for her children, then? This question
ny be answered briefly by saying TOYS

struCt. and which offer the child a
chance for the display Of It's imagination

ents. Their chief pIaythings were four
old truck horses which had hecu left in
their hack yard. These were in turn real
horses, house, an Indian fort. a stree

according as the nature OF their play
