Chatterer Gets His Corn.
A grateful heart will find a way
For every favor to repay.
Jimmy the FLYING SotIirrf


Chatterer the Red Squirrel was very
much upset. His cousin, Jimmy the
Flying Squirrel, had disappeared in
Farmer Browns corncrib at break of
day, and though Chatterer had waited
and waited Jimmy mad not reappeared.
Chatterer didn't know just what to
think. 1t was, of course, possible that
Jimmy had slipped out without being
seen by Chatterer. However, Chatterer
couldn't quite believe this. What he
did fear was that Jimmy had been
caught in a trap.
Chatterers thoughts were really self
tsh, however. What really worried him
most was the fact that he had got
no corn. He had counted on Jimmy
to bring out some corn for him. AS
long as Jimmy did not come out, of
course, there was no corn. Chatterer
hung around Farmer Browns dooryard
all day. Yes, sir: he did so. He hung
around where he could keep watch, and
he was in very bad temper all day.
When things don't go just right for
Chatterer, he is very likely to be in
or his time Scold1ng. He Scolded Black
Pussy when she appeared. He scolded
Bowser the Hound and Flip the Terrier.
He Scolded Farmer Browns Boy.
Farmer Browns Boy looked up at
him and laughed. What are you Scold-
ing about, you red rascal?" he cried.
II suspect you are scolding because you
can't get into that corncrib. I guess
you have had your share of corn al
ready. / don't think any one can get
into that crib now. I'm going to be
very much surprised if 1 find that any
more corn has been taken"
Meanwhile. Jimmy the Flying Squir-
red was curled up inside the corncrib
and sleeping Soundly. You know, day
time is sleeptime for Jimmy He isn't
wide awake until the time when his

BEDTIME STORIES BY y. T ssss4s;

cousins are going to bed. So it was
that at just the time that Chatterer,
still cross and disappointed, curled up
in his own bed over in the Green For
est Jimmy awoke and for a moment
or two wondered where he was. Then
he remembered and promptly began to
stuff himself with corn. You see, after
sleeping all day he was hungry. When
he had eaten all he wanted he peeped
out. The Black Shadows had crept out
from the Purple Hills. There was still
little light, but only little. It was
what you and I call dusk.
Jimmy slipped out and climbed to
the roof of the corncrib. From there he
jumped over to the foot of the nearest
tree-the tree from which he had early
that morning sailed down onto the roof
of the corncrib. 1t was the very tree
in which he had left Chatterer the Red
Squirrel. Jimmy scampered up the tree.
At first he looked for Chatterer. Then
he remembered that Chatterer would
not be out so late. Jimmy sat down
in crotch of the tree to think things
over.
MY, but that was good cornl" said
he to himself. 81 shall come over here
every night. I am glad Cousin Chat
terer told me about it. It Is too bad
he cannot jump and glide the way I
can. II he could, we would have great
time in here with that corn. It Is too
bad that Cousin Chatterer cannot get
any. Yes, sir: it is too bad"
Jimmy sat thinking this over, when
suddenly there came an idea into his
head. Those great soft eyes of his began
to sparkle. He ran little higher up
the tree and he sailed down and landed
with soft thud on the roof of the
corncrib. A minute later he was inside.

Chatterer was back at the corncrib to
see If there were any signs of Jimmy.
There were. On the ground were scat

Jimmy had left them there. So 1t was
that Chatterer got his corn.

Secrets of Health
BY DR.. Louis E. Bisch-

} A person who suffers from a
psychosis sees the world
through different eyes from
the normal.
What people think and do
and say to the psychotic is
wrong, while he himself is
right.
This is brought about by the
fact that the individual who
is likely to develop a psychosiS
starts with impending too much
on fantasy and day-dreaming.
He resorts to : his imagina-
ton for satisfaction, instead Of
to the world outside himself
the world Of reality.
The psychotic is a kind of
introVert.
In order to cure him one
must make him an extrovert
that is, turn all or most of
his mental and emotional in
tereSts outward.
In order to prevent insanity
people should try to get all
the satisfaction they can in
doing things rather than in
merely thinking them.
A healthy body is also es-
Sential.
But the likelihood Of in
sanity occurring in any par
ticular individual is not so
great after all!

cialist in mental disorders

And when adults begin to

time should be lost to see
whether insanity is actually be-
ginning.

Sometimes we find still

Beneath a beautiful painting
on the walls of the Library Of
Congress. in Washington, run
these words:
Ancient OF DGyS-August Ath-
e1lG,
Where are thy men of might
Thy grand in soul?
Gone gIimn1eriu0 through
The dream OF things that 1Oere!"
Once Athens, lowliest city Of
the world, was proud and pow
erful. Her "men of might" her
grand in soul" faced the chal-
longing reality of each day.
They did not look back to the
things their fathers had done
they were too busy doing things
themselves. Each hour brought
new problems, new triumphS to
August Athena.
Then, gradually, grown too
proud, Athens began to rest on
her laurelS and boast about the
Things That Had Been. No
longer did her people face the
Present. They lived in the past
in that dream Of things that
were." That dream was the
ruin Of Athens. It is the ruin
of any city, Of any life that Is
abandoned to it. And it is
fearfully easy to abandon ones
life to that drugging dream.
There is no glamour in Today.
Today is harsh, grim, uncom-
promising. It looks us straight
in the eye. It will stand for no
pretenSe or evaSions. It can't
be kissed off with sentimental
recollections or boasts of past
deeds. Today demands that
we do our Stuff-NOW! We
hate that. We want to do things
II and when we get around to
them-not NOW. We deSpise
the risk and discipline and
labor of immediate action. And
so, we look for an escape, as
