SOME ADVICE TO ONE BOY THAT ALL BOYS
SHOULD READ-THEIR PARENTS, TOO


as heroic criminals, but as illiterate,
chanceless boys, whose bodies, thin,
whose faces unhealthy skinned, adj
vertised to the world lack of even
proper nourishment in their boyhood;
lack of the proper sanitary condi-
tons, a lack of any home environ
ment that would feed the souls of
them, and l listened to the query of
the Judge and the toneless answer:
81 left school when l was in the
sixth grade"
And for just a moment l longed
heartily to take 18-year-old who is in
the third year high school and give
him a shaking and say to him: "Oh,
boy, where is your common sense
that you do not realize what lucky
youngster you are that you are able
at the age of Is to still go to school,
supported by your parents while you
gain an education? What an in
finitely-to=be-envied boy you are that
you we're not put to work while you
were still a child and your parents
did not feel compelled through neces-
sity to take from you all that you
made from long hours of toll"
Why, boy of Is, in this city of Chi
cago there are thousands of boys
who will read your letter and wish
in the very depths of their souls that p
they had parents able to keep them
in school, to give them good home,
and to hand them 25 cents spending
money on Sunday.
What if it is less than your pals get?
1t is more than thousands of other
boys get if you did not have single
penny allowance and just your
chance in life.
You will not steal l am not the
least bit afraid that you will. You
are too manly for that, and you wrote
that letter when you were down in
the mouth because you hadn't the
coin to go with your pals, but, boy

think could tell you at least one of
the reasons boys go wrong.
81 am boy Is years old; am in the
third year high school. Now on Sun
day l only receive 25 cents. Well,
the boys pal around with all go to
some show downtown, at which they
have to pay about 35 cents. Well, if
l am lucky enough to borrow about
20 cents l have enough to go to the
show and pay my carfare. Then, in
the evening, they go to some 10-cent
show while 1 have to stay home for
lack of funds.
''Now, my parents are more well off
than any of the other boys parents
and they get from so cents up. Now,
when see the other boys going to a
show and haven't any money am
tempted to go out and steal it, al
though l have never stolen yet. l be-
ieve that boy of my age ought to
receive at least so cents. Then they
wonder now SpenQ the 20 Genus
they think it is too much.
''In conclusion, hope you will pub
fish this, in order to show parents
one of the reasons their boys become
thieves"
am not going to put the name to
this letter, though it was very bravely
signed out of the indignation of
boys heart who just didn't care bit
if his people and everybody else knew
he wrote it.
The letter was handed to me by the
editor of The Forum, who laughed as
he said: when l went to boarding
school my parents gave me an allow
ance of 25 cents a week. l thought it
was tough then, but have changed
my mind considerably since. What
do you think ought to be done with
this letter."

uEAIRY TALED
cHIPMUNk'S ADVENTURE.
By MARY GRAHAM BONNER

Little Chippy Chappy had been
the name given to Mrs. Chipmunk's
youngest Son." said Daddy. "He was
very fine Son, and Mrs. Chipmunk
was very, very proud Of him. In the
hrst place he was most beautifully
marked and all the other Chipmunks
from far and near came to see the fine
markings on his little soft, furry body.
And his tail was very bushy and full.
Altogether he was beautiful Chip
munk and it wasn't surprising in the
slightest degree that Mrs. Chipmunk
should be so proud of him.
But alas and alack! all the Chip
hunks around told Chippy Chappy
how wonderful he was. They not only
told him he was beautiful, but they
told him he was very wise and clever
and smart. Now, he wasn't SO very
smart if the truth is to be told.
strangely enough he was not in the
least bit conceited about his beauty,
but the minute he was told he was
clever and smart he whisked his tail
about and made up his mind to have
some wonderful adventures so he
could prove to all the other Chip
hunks that he was even cleverer than
they thought.
ut was fine sunny morning when
Chippy Chappy started off on his first
adventure. He thought he would take
trip so he could relate how the
world looked to him. On and on he
scampered and ran feeling ever so we'll
on such perfect day.
"He hadn't gone very far when he
saw some Pear trees that looked quite
nice, so he hurried to the orchard
where they were. Up the first tree he
scrambled, and then when he had
taken some delicious bites of the
juicy Pear from that tree, he jumped
across to the next one, where the
Pears looked even better.
but down on the earth, from out
of nearby farmhouse came n Cat
strolling along. In the Cats eyes
were hungry CLEANS as he caught
sight of little Chippy Chappy.
ayes muttered the Cat to himself,

"uh, uh.r.r-r!" shrieked the chipmunk.

fast today. The milk was poor and
the bacon was wretched-not crisp
and nice the way / should have it.
But never mind, / shall make up for
it now. l have been thinking for a
long time that my digestion wasn't
good. It's eating the same things all
the time. L must have a change of
food-that's what / must have.
"And the Cat went quietly along.
Soon he was under the Pear tree, and
looked up. He was wondering
whether to climb up the tree right
away or to wait little while-if he
waited the Chipmunk would taste
even better-but still he was hungry
now! For the Cat was thinking of
poor little Chippy Chappy as his new
breakfast.
"Chippy Chappy saw the Cat below
the trees, but it was the first time he
had ever seen Cat. You see, he had
never been out without his family,
and he had only been in the world
such very, very short time that he
didn't know that there were many
dangerous things he must not have
anything to do with. He expected the
Cat to admire him, for, of course, he
was used to nothing else but praise.
WELL he said in very friendly
way, I don't know who you are or
what you are, but I'd like to be
friends and have you tell me how
beautiful and smart am
"The Cat grinned-a big, broad grin.
He simply had never had such funny
thing happen In all his life. You're
beautiful, but you don't know a thing
not a thing-not even a Cat-you
should have known me without being
told-most of your family do. You're
very, very stupid But then the Cat
said, Meow for the Chipmunk did
look very delicious And up the tree
he went, caught hold of the Chip
hunks bushy tail and dragged him
down to the earth.
'Uh-Uh-r-r-r shrieked the Chip
munk. And just then a Fairy hap
pened near.
"'Oh, King Thunderv the Fairy
shouted. Come, come quick And
sudden crash Of Thunder came so
suddenly that the Cat dropped Chlppy
Chappy. Another clap of Thunder
came and then a flash of Lightning
and terrible storm arose.
"Hurry away, Chippy Chappy, said
the Fairy, and off he scampered to his
home. His family nursed his poor,
hurt tail, but they told him never
again to forget that beauty and wis
dom were the same, for he still had
lots, lots to learn before he'd be
wtse."
