Bedtime Stories
The Patience of Black Pussy
BY Thornton W. Burgess
Patience is q virtue aohem rightly
put to use;
Alas, that it mast suffer so often
from abuse!
Striped Chipmunk.-

Striped Chipmunk possesses little
patience himself. He is impatient
rather than patient. He is persistent,
but not patient. He cannot wait
quietly for things to happen; he must
keep busy trying to make them hap
pen. There are many people just
like him.
But Black Pussy possesses patience,
a great deal of patience. The pity
of it is that she so often puts it to
wrong use. She will sit still, per-
fectly still, for the longest time on
the chance Of catching one Of the lit
tie people of the Old Orchard, the
Green Meadows or the Green Forest.
Often she fails, whereat everybody
rejoices, but it is not for lack of pa
thence. i.
When Black Pussy discovered her
master, Farmer Browns Boy, feeding
Striped Chipmunk in the path along
the edge of the Old Orchard and that
ne and Striped Chipmunk were the
best of friends she was at once filled
with jealousy. She hid in the long
grass back of tree until Farmer
Browns Boy had returned to the
house. Then she ran quickly to where
he had been sitting and there in the
middle of the path she discovered a
little round hole.
She didn't have to be told whose
hole that was. She knew. Even if
she hadn't known the instant she saw
it her nose would have told her as
soon as she smelled at it.
"Ha, hal" said she down inside.
"Ha, ha! So this is where that fellow
lives! / thought he lived<dow un-
der the stone wall, but it seems ! was
mistaken or else he has moved. Well,
we'll, we'll! This couldn't be better.
I'll have that fellow now as sure
as my tail switches. He probably is
down in there now and all need do
is to be patient. Sooner or later he'll
come out and then I'll have him"
SO Black Pussy crouched in the
path just a few inches from that
little round hole. fxed her yellow
eyes on it and waited. She was pre-
pared to wait long, long time if
necessary. She would be patient.
very, very patient. To catch Striped
Chipmunk would be worth a great
deal of patience.

Guaranty Trust Calls Upon
Surrogates' Court for
Settlement of Its Accounts

An application made to the Surro-
gates Court yesterday by the Guar
anty Trust Company for judicial set
Element of its accounts as admins
traitor of the estate of Theodore P.
Shonts shows that Mrs. Mlla D. Shonts,
widow of the marlborough Rapid
Transit executive, received $96,320 in
settlement Of her 100000 claim for
money lent her husband.
Mr.. Shonts left the residue of his
estate to Mrs. Amanda C. Thomas The
trust company, in it's account, men
there be any," will be turned over to
Mrs. Thomas when provisions of the
will have been fulfilled.
This doubt as to the amount Mrs.
Thomas will receive is due to the fact
that debts must be settled and that
trust fund provisions made by Mr..
Shonts for his daughters, the Duchesse
de Chaulnes and Mrs. Margaret A..
Bingham, and a son of the duchess,
must be met out of the balance of
$536,504 still in possession of the trust
company.
Also there is pending in Brooklyn a
s1,oOO,oOo breach of contract suit
against Mr.. Shonts.
Mrs. Shonts's acceptance Of settle
ment for her 100000 claim against the
estate, which claim he acknowledged
in his will, came after the widow had
filed contest against the probating of
the document She withdrew the con-
test. Mr.. and Mrs. Shonts had lived
apart for about two years before his
death.
The Guaranty Trust Company re-
ported that the total value of the
Shonts estate was $940,969, consisting
principally of securities. Among his
holdings Mr.. Shonts had many shares
of cats and dogs"-that is, stocks of
doubtful or no value. Three notes
given the decedent aggregating &c.
600 were declared worthless One was
made by Albert Miller and two by John
A. Campbell
About 100000 has been dsbursed
by the administrator, including the
$96,320 paid Mrs. Shonts and $158,O00
to the National Bank of Commerce in
settlement of loan made to Mr..
Shonts. Two claims have been called
to the attention of the trust company.
One is for 100000, filed by H. Howard,
of Petaluma, Calf, on a note, and the
other is for $4,000, also on note,
held by Samuel Heller, of Pasadena,
Calf.
The s1,oOo,Ooo suit still pending in
Kings County was brought by Roland
r. Conklin on an alleged breach of
contract over the Chicago Motor Bus
Corporation.
Implements valued at $141O, which
are on the farm of Mr.. Shonts in Bucks
County, Pa, have been delivered to

Legion Tourists
Welcomed Home:
Proud of Visit
Ovation Received i'm France
and Belgium Unprece-
dented, Emery Reports;
Expectations Surpassed

Sixty members of the American lie
gion went down the bay yesterday to
extend a welcome to 104 Legionnaires
returning on the steamship Leopoldina
after an extensive tour of France and
visit to Belgium.
The welcoming contingent occupied
the police boat John f. Hylan. The
Fire Department band from the bow of
the police boat greeted the Leopoldina
with the "The Star Spsngled Banner"
and greetings from both boats were
exchanged across the water. The po-
lice boat trailed the liner up to the
French Line pier, where it locked. The
band played while the big vessel was
being warped in.
John G. Emery. national commander
of the American Legion, issued a
statement Immediately after stepping
ashore in which he said that the well
come extended the Legionnaires abroad
exceeded all expectations.
The party that went down the bay
was headed by Lemuel Bolles, of In
dianapolis. national adjutant of the
Legion, and DR.. Edward Adams, of
New York, commander of West End
Post 313, and national chairman of the
armistce committee of the Legion.
Commander Emery, in his statement,
said:
"The American Legion ENJOYS re-
turn from France and Belgium after
popular ovation which, we have been
assured, is unapproached by any re-
ception in these nations ever before
accorded party Of unofficial visitors
from foreign country. The welcome
we received surpassed all anticipations
We return happy and proud because OF
the prestige our country enjoys anc
the place it holds in the thoughts and
hearts of these gallant peoples. We
know these manifestations were not
for US alone, although we went abroad
solely as the representatives Of the
American Legion, of the former service
men and women of every state ant
branch of service. The honors that
came to us, we know, were intended
for every American citizen. In thai
spirit VIC tried to receive them"

Aliens Plight Due
To Dishonest Ship
MISUNDERSTANDING
Writes Congressman Siegel
Immigrants Are Brought
I'm Despite u. S. Warming;
Davis to Hear Complaints

Hardships worked by the new re-
trictive immigration laws apparently
are the fault of dishonest steamship
agents, declares President Harding in
a letter to Representative Isaac Siegel,
of New York made public yesterday by
the Congressman.
Mr.. Sicgol, who is member Of the
House Committee on immigration and
Naturalization. recently wrote the
President seeking executive interven-
ton in enforcement of immigration
laws-an enforcement which the Rep
resentative declared was resulting in
slren sent back, because they happened
to arrive after the country's admittance
quota had been filed.
In his reply, Mr.. Harding said:
81 haven't any doubt in the world
but the. enforcement of the immigra-
ton laws is working many a hardship.
My own distress has been very great
over some of the specific instances
which have been reported to me.
"lf I have the situation correctly
presented the difficulty must be
charged to the dishonest steamship
agents who have brought to this coun-
try innocent immigrants in spite of our
continued warnings during a period of
very great leniency. I know how very
persistent have been the impositions
which have been made on the govern
ment agents. who have been disposed
to be sympathetic and more than gen.
erous in carrying out the law.
However, am sending your letter
to the Department of Labor for fur
Their information on the subject 7 have
great confidence in the Commissioner
of Immi grafton, and l know that the
Secretary of Labor is one of the most
human and sympathetic men in all the
land. If there are conditions such as
you suggest, I feel pretty confident
that they are absolutely unavoidable
under the law"
Mr.. Siegel said that conference had
been arranged by Secretary Davis for
next Friday with him, Senator Calder
Assistant Secretary of Labor Henning
Solicitor of Labor Department Theodore
Risley and Commissioner General w

said, to start an orphan school
