TRENTON, N. j.. March S1.-A good
old-fashioned ghost, with all the &C.
cepted trappings, has brought con-
sternation into humble home on
Ferry Street here. 1t threatens by its
persistence to turn family out-of
doors. And since ghosts and rumors
of ghosts are getting scarce in these
enlightened times it has reused the
community to state Of hysterical ex-
citment.
Last night more than n thousand per-
sons surrounded the house waiting n
visitation from the dead. But it is
discreet ghost. While it is accused
of gurgling. of taking the corporeaI
form of white cat and Of rafting
latches, it positively refuses to per
form for the crowd.
So far only members Of the, ghosts
family and intimate friends own up to
having seen it. Hoping to break it of
its unsociable habits, fourteen spirit
ualists intend to form circle in the
haunted house tomorrow night and
command it to state its grievance or
forever hold its peace.
The spirit which is alleged to be SO
restive is that Of John Koch who COM
mitted suicide last January after try
ing to kill his employer. His wife
who is nervous wreck over what she
has been seeing for the last two weeks
said to-day that she honestly believes
her husband has come back because
she sent two of her four children tc
a home about a month ago.
Mrs. Koch tells the story that on the
morning after her husband first ap-

Bedtime Stories
Peter Gives the Cubs a Scare
BY Thornton W. Burgess
For tja,,id folk no joy is quite
Like givin9 other folks q fright.
Peter Rabbit.

Peter Rabbit.
1t isn't often that Peter has
chance to scare any one. You know
he is the one who usually gets the
fright. So when he does happen to
scare some one it always tickles him.
Somehow he always has more respect
for himself.
When on that moonlight night he
discovered Mrs. Bears secret over
by the great windfall deep in the
Green Forest, Peter had the most
mixed feelings he ever had known.
First came surprise, as he saw those
two little heads poked out of Mrs.
Bears enrance. He was sitting up
very straight, and the surprise was 80
great that he all but tumbled over
backward. You see, there was no mis-
taking those two little heads for any
but those of baby Bears. He knew
that those were two Bear cubs, Mrs.
Bears babies, the secret she had kept
hidden so long under the great wind
fall.
two little heads was only little
greater than his surprise at the
smallness of them. So for perhaps
two minutes Peter sat motionless,
quite overcome with surprise as he
stared at those two funny little
heads poked out from the entrance
under the great windfall. Then,
all in a fash, he understood the
cause of Mrs. Bears short temper and
the reason she drove everybody away
from there and he felt sudden panic
of fright.
"This is no place for me-" thought
Peter, "and the sooner | get away
from here the better" He looked
hastily all about. There was no sign
Of Mrs. Bear. Right then and there
curiosity took possession Of him.
II wish those youngsters would
come out where I can see them and
just how big they are" thought
Peter. ut seems safe enough here
now, and perhaps if wait few min
utes they will come out"
SO Peter waited. Sure enough, in
few minutes, the two little cubs
did come out. Plainly, it was their
first glimpse of the Green Forest. and
Peter almost laughed right out at the
look of wonder on their faces as they
stared all about in the moonlight.
But not even his first surprise was
greater than Peters surprise now as
he saw how small they were. "Why,"
he exclaimed to himself. "why-ee.
they are not much bigger than I!
didn't suppose any one so big as great

Smiles for
the Children

The smiles of MUSIC
the one thing in all the
wonderful world which
can reach the heart Of a
child.
Give your children
MUSIC.
Do not deny them music
because YOU cannot play
the piano.
Do not limit their concep-
tion of music to the kind
you may like best yourself.
For we grown-ups learn to
associate personality with
music, and oftentimes we
would rather hear an old
old song very simply played
by daughter than a Chopin
waltz played by LEVITZKl
But the Children
let them hear the
BEST music (the best in
