Bedtime Stories
Chatterer Is Called Thief
By Thornton w. Burgess
Chatterer Is Gale,
A bod name sticks as aaaught else
can
To bird or beast or boy or man.
--Old Mother Nature.

If ever there was a surprised small
person in all the Green Forest that
one was Chatterer the Red Squirrel
when he discovered the empty hole
between the roots of an old stump
over near the beech trees in the
Green Forest. Only the night be-
fore it had been filled to the brim
with little, sweet, brown beechnuts,
and now the very first thing in the
morning it was empty. Chatterer
had intended to take those nuts him
self and had chuckled at the sur.
prise the one who owned them would
have when he found that hole empty.
1t had never entered his funny little
head that he would be the one to be
surprised.
Right away Chatterer flew into a
great rage. To have seen him and
heard him you would have supposed
those nuts had really belonged to
him. You never would have guessed
that they had belonged to some one
else and that he had intended to steal
them. AS matter of fact Chatterer
almost made himself believe that
they had belonged to him. People are
that way sometimes. He had been
so sure of them that he had come to
look on them as really his.
SO for few minutes Chatterer's
tongue flew as only bis tongue can
fly, as he told no one in particular,
for there was no one about, Just
what he thought of the thief who had
stolen those nuts. Then he began to
wonder who had taken them.
He was sure that either Happy
Jack the Gray Squirrel or Rusty the
Fox Squirrel had hidden them there.
His first thought was that the real
owner had taken them away. But he
knew that, like himself, Happy Jack
and Rusty went to bed with the com
ing of the Black Shadows and he
had peeked at those nuts the very
last thing before going to bed. Now
1T was barely sun-up and he was sure
he was the first one over there.
Neither of his big cousins could
possibly have taken away all those
nuts that morning. 1t was all very
mysterious and provoking.
He climbed up on the old stump
and sat down to think. He was still
sitting there when Happy Jack the
Gray Squirrel appeared. Happy Jack
saw Chatterer sitting on that uld
stump and instantly he became sus-
picious. He hurried around to where
ne could see between the roots of
hat old stump and instantly knew

In Draft Case
Testimony Showing Diff
Guilty of Local Board i'm
Finding Alleged Evader
Given at Court Martial
Physical Te SITS Cite d
Letter Charges Enemies
Tried to Railroad the
Prisoner Into the Army

Linn A. IL. Gale, who went from
pacifism to radicalism and then to
Mexico. when he was sought in the
draft, was put on trial by court martial
yesterday at Governors Island, charged
with evading the draft. He was ar
rested several months ago when he be-
came too Red for Mexico and was
elected, but since his imprisonment at
Governors Island he is said to have re-
nounced his advanced views.
Most of the testimony yesterday
dealt with the difficulty Gales draft
board in Albany had in finding him.
According TO the testimony, Gale never
was feeling quite we'll enough to go to
war, except on one occasion, and then,
as his father, C. O. Gale, of Oxford,
wrote the board, he was under $500
bail on a criminal charge faxed up
against him by political enemies in
New York City"
Prisoner Lays Defense
Gales counsel, Peter P. McElIigott,
intinated in several Of his questions
that his line of defense might be that
political enemies" were trying to rail-
road Gale into the army. Gale, who
had held clerkship in the Assembly,
had the backing of several wealthy
Democrats in starting newspaper,
whip was TO be the state Democratic
organ. Most of the wealthy Democrats
withdrew when Gales radical views
began to color the newspaper, and
thereafter he published "Gsle's Maga-
to be seditious publication.
Mr. McEllioNft rand fpto ~ono~t
long letter which Gale wrote Local
Board 3 in Albany in January, 1918, in
which the young man asserted that he
had been Informed that "Whitman and
some of his friends" were out to "get"
him and he was to be drafted without
regard to his physical condition.
Numerous physicians examined Gale,
it was brought out, including a large
number whose certificates he sought
when he was explaining to the local
board why he could not respond to its
summons just then. Of those who ex-
amined him officially most reported
that his general health was fair.
Listing by Draft Board
A DR.: Cudmore, physician for local
board in this city, described him as
"pre-tubercular" and recommended him
for clerical or some other non-com-
blatant service. Records of Gales draft
board showed that he was listed for
special or limited service as clerk. :"
Evidence which the prosecution sought
to introduce that this was a clerical
error was barred by the court.
The parents of the accused were at
the hearing, accompanied by Samuel A.
Jones, former State Senator from
Chenango County Mr.. Jones was
called to testify as to Gales character.
and at the close of his testimony
launched into an appeal for clemency

AS result of the failure of Mayors
Hylan to keep his campaign promise
to provide a seat for every child, only
fifty children out of the 5,2l2 are on
the regular full-time schedule of in
struction.
OF the remaining number, 3,201 are
on strict parttime basis. This is
larger number of children than the
majority of the city's schools carry
on their registers. In addition to the
3,201 on part time, there are 1884
others on the makeshift double ses-
sion basis and TT in the kindergar-
ten classes. In this school there is an
open-air class for children subject to
tuberculosis. but this also is taxed to
capacity.
The unprecedented condition in this
structure, like the crowded condition
in most of the other elementary
schools in the city, is directly due to
the increase in register and the fact
that Mayor Hylan has provided only
1881 new seats during his admin
istration. as compared with the 46,100
new seats furnished by his predecessor.
How general the crowded condition
really is in the elementary schools is
New-York tribune., 1921-10-25

reflected in the situation in Public
School lao, Brooklyn, which is in the
same school district as Public School
l09 The former is located at Sutter
Avenue, Vermont and Wyona streets
is fifty classrooms have a legal seat
ing capacity of 1854, but 3,a62 pupils
are registered there.
As result of this crowded con.
dition, not one pupil is receiving the
regular full-time instruction. In order
to give some sort of education to the
children 2,692 of them are on the
makeshift double sessions and LOTS
others are on strict part time. There
are also 1872 children in the kinder.
garten classes.
Similar conditions exist in Public
School TIA, at Dumont, Alabama and
Williams avenues. There the school
has forty-nine classrooms with legal
seating capacity of 2,240, in which
4,046 pupils are compelled to receive
their education.
In this school thirty-one students
are receiving the regular full-time e
instruction; Of the remainder, 3,187
are on the makeshift double session
and 1913 in the kindergarten classes.

one day recently, the wind blowing

two plain persons, gray-headed,
elderly man and little, old-fash-

The younger women on the boat
were not rninding the windiness

While there are municipal pools in
several sections of the city for use OF

The Winners.

The men who reach the high
er places are not cast down by
each reverse; they drape some
smiles around their faces and
say the luck might be much
worse. OF men whose fame is
now immortal, a vast percen-
tage started poor: and not for
them did fortune chortle when
they set forth. dead broke, OBJ
scure. They had hard knocks
and kicks and bruises, and they
remarked, when going lame, I'm
life's grim race the faint heart
loses, the brave heart scores
and wins the game" The faint
hearts quit as roads grow
rougher. and to the skies their
walls ascend: the fellows built
to strive and suffer press on and
reach the journeys end. The
faint-heart lads are often gifted,
they we'll might win some prizes
gay: but in hard luck their
hands are lifted, and they sur
render right away. How many
poets. angel-throated, have
missed the fame that might be
theirs. because their early
rhymes were voted too punk to
feed to polar bears? How many
painters are forgotten and
planted under grassy knolls, be-
cause some said their work was
rotten. and froze the current of
their souls? The faint-heart
scout. though wondrous clever.
throws down his tools at for
tunes frown: the stout-heart
guy tolls on forever, and gets a
mortgage on the town.
