Tne bill waa recently passed by the houue. smd now it only remains (or Governor GUcbrist to sign the measure to sound the death-knell of the lease system tu thla state. The bill was passed by the senate only, after a long and uaru fight. - Only one change waa made In .the bill as it passed the house, and this in nowise affects the sense of the measure as it was originally drafted. *The bill hae been placed In the hands of Governor Qilchrist. and it Is ex pected that he will take some actlou in regard to It within the next few days. Speculation is rifo as to whetn ?r the governor will sign the measure, although there are enough votes in Xhvor of the hill to cairy it over the governor's veto.

What is looked on by Francisco 1. Madero as a well-laid plan to prevent his reaching Mexico City, to overthrow his leadership and to start a counter revolution against him. was revealed in the arrest of Daniel l->e Yillieres ?of Mexico City.

It was upon this assumption that the committee on hornea of the child wel | fare exhibit had on exhibition at the j Coliseum a child's "play shop." In it ' therewas on display an endless variety j of toys, but foremost of all were the ! new "do-wlth" toys introduced for the first time In Chicago by Miss Caroline Pratt, who had charge of the toy ex hibit. Miss I*ratt was In charge of the Bame department of the exhibit in I New York. "Chicago parents are as deplorably Ignorant In the matter of buying proper toya for their children a8 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 the toy department of a store la to buy toys that they like to play with them selves." "That, of course, is the reason wo have a 'play shop' exhibit. The ex hibit is planned for the education of all the parents of Chicago?but, by the way. it is the well-to-do fathers and mothers who are most ignorant of all along this line. What we ex 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 or girlB can carry out definite play schemes. It should be simple. ; It teaches the child by stimulating its j imaginative nature and Inventive fac > ulties. Buch features are lost alto j gether in the elaborate mechanical i toys that leave nothing for the child ! to do but press a button or release a catch and watch it go.

The police, however, have been successful in running to earth tome of the thlevea. One leader of a band of horae thlevea recently got four years in the penitentiary; another got 12 yeara an<1 two others, connected with a third gang, got ten yeara each. In their search after thlevea the New York police located a farm in New Jersey which was conducted for the receiving of atolen property. / Teaching Parents What Toys to Buy f ?5 Trtlt ONI OF thoji "oo-mTH" C TOY S ? SU?* 'TIS - RUY >T I 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 la 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 througn our exhibit is to teach parents that their children have a normal play im pulse which can be more easily grati fied 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. Equipped with a few simple toys the boy or girl will learn to make them work for him and do things. New pleasures will be discov ered every day, and the enjoyment of a toy will not disappear after It la a week old. and probably Is ready to be Bmashed. "A child should not be given a whole tool chest at one time, for example. Give the little fellow a hammer. Then when he begins to ask for nails, give him eometblng to pound. 8oon he will learn how to make things, and before long he will learn the real value of the whole array of contents of the chest, while If given them all at once bo would not have appreciated any of them." Solve Mystery of an Ancient Ghost WHOO IGhmtI B)STON. Mass.?The supernatural noises. intonations and weird hounds which for years have been the cause of many young lovers retreating from their trystlng place In great haste, in fear that some white garbed ghost was chasing them, was ex plained when a giant elm was chopped down in a lot on Adams street near the Cedar Grove cemetery In Dor chester. The explanation was an owl and family of chipmunks. For twenty-five years strange noises have been heard at all times of the night In that section, and the lot being so near the cemetery many people be lieved they were voices from the grave. The police have Investigated nightly and some of the more curious neighborsvhave spent many long vigils In an attempt to solve the source of the weird noises. The solution of the 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 waa dis covered that about thirty feet of Its top was hollow, and Inside was found an owl of the bald-headed variety sleeplug as quietiy as though nothing had happened. The inside of the tree was found to be fllled*wlth egg shells, corn 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 nestling in a l^pap in the bottom of the hole, there was a mother and father chipmunk with twenty-five lit tle 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 tho nightly gruesome noises which have on more than one occasion frightened the women of the district who have been obliged to return to their homes after dark.
