Bedtime Stories
Answer to Yesterdays Letter Out.


Jolly, round, red Mr.. Sun was Just
going to bed behind the Purple Hills,
and the Black Shadows had begun
to creep all through the Green
Forest and out across the Green
Meadows. 1t was the hour of the
day Peter Rabbit loved best. He
sat on the edge of the Green Forest
watching for the first little star to
twinkle high up in the sky. Peter
felt at peace with all the Great
World, for it was the hour of peace,
the hour OF rest for those who had
been busy all through the shining
day. Most of Peters feathered
friends had settled themselves for

without taking q breath. From over
head now and then came the sharp,
rather harsh cry of Boomer the
Nighthawk as he hunted his supper
in the air.
For a time it seemed as if these
were the only feathered friends still
awake, and Peter couldn't help
thinking that those who went so
early to bed missed the most beau
tiful hour In the whole day. Then,
Evening star., 1939-08-11

from tree just back of him, there
poured forth a song SO clear, so
sweet, so wonderfully suited to that
peaceful hour that Peter held his
breath until it was finished. He
knew that singer and loved him.
1t was Melody the Wood Thrush.
When the song ended Peter
hoped over to the tree from which
1t had come. 1t was still light
enough for him to see the sweet,

singer. He sat on a branch near
the top, his head thrown back and
his soft, full throat throbbing with
the flute-like notes he was pouring
forth. He was little smaller than
Welcome Robin. His coat was a
beautiful reddish-brown, not quite
so bright as that of Brownie the
Thrasher. Beneath he was white
with large, round, black spots thick
ly dQtting his breast and sides. He

was singing as If he were trying to
put into those beautiful notes all
the joy Of life. Listening to 1t,
Peter felt steal over him q wonder
full feeling of peace and pure hap
piness. Not for the world would he
ever have interrupted it.

This Law Business

This law business is a funny bust
ness. Not funny, ha, ha, but funny,
peculiar like.
On one side of the courtroom,
around a desk, sit several attorneys.
On the other side are the attorneys
for the other side. At times they
glare across the room at each other as
if they'd like to see them sink through
the floor. But when the judge calls a
recess they all retire to the same room
and are all smiles.
The attorneys not on the particular
case, sit around and get pointers or
pick flaws, and there seem to be plenty
of flaws, except the ones sitting
around never take into consideration,
seemingly, that the non-interested
parties are more apt to feel more at
ease and more able to think of the
proper thing at the proper time.
Moreover it's always easier to pick
flaws in something from the sidelines,
It's that way in football. The crowd
can always give advice about how the
signals should have been called, but if
the individual who gives the advice
was in the quarterback's position, the
strain on a persons system would be
different.
The prosecution points out how fu-
tile and how pitiful the defense coun-
sci has presented its side. The defense
just reverses the statement on the
prosecution and the attorneys glare
some more. But after it's all over
you'd think they are bosom friends
and they probably are.
A jury that can weigh the evidence
as it is presented, without letting the
attorneys get them off on the wrong
track, is the ideal situation, bat one
wonders how often such is the case
Many times the future of the accused
hangs in the balance on the effective.
ness of an attorneys plea to the jury.
It's a brittle thread, if the jury is
easily swayed. It's good thing, how
ever, there are at least twelve people
on jury. Human nature is such that
all twelve are not swayed in the same
direction on the same emotion dis
played by the attorneys arguing the
The Republican. [volume] (Oakland, Md.) 1877-current, 1939-12-14

case. After they get in the jury room,
no doubt the cold facts begin to creep
in and are brought to light. Behind
their four walls they can face the facts
without any attorneys pointing an ac-
cusing finger at them. Most all of the
jurors beam when the attorneys look
upon them and call them intelligent.
What else could they tell them and eX-
pect any consideration?
And then there is Pop Hammond
and his eagle eye, waiting until the
audience gets loud enough for him
to holler "order in the court" Some
times the judge beats him to it and
pounds his gavel for silence.
The only time this was necessary,
however, in this particular trial this
week was when Howard Barnard
from "away back of Bloomington"
took the stand. He couldn't wait to
tell the jury and everybody else just
how bad the roads were down in his
section-and there's no doubt that
they are bad. Right now, he says he
has to walk a mile to work as there's
no road fit to travel.
The strong arms of the law, Owens,
Currie, Spear, were all there waiting
for what? Probably what every
body else was waiting for-the out
come. The regular visitors at court
were there, the ones who attend for
baby cases, murder, and everything
else. 1t makes no difference to them.
Court is Court and there's the place
to get the low down on many tough
hombre" who happens to get caught.
Among the visitors also were num-
Der of interested Democrats who were
anxiously awaiting the verdict that
might open up an appointment foc
them. But they were doomed to dis
appointment, for several months at
least.
Wilbert N. Savage, Sang Run, has
sent in some last minute gift selec-
tions. Some of them l agree with,
some of them 1 don't, especially the
one for the third term for Franklin
D. Roosevelt. While he couldn't get

But here are his suggestions. Take
them for what you will:
For Adolf Hitler: A wooden map of
Europe with removable sections so he
can play with the boundary lines, or
an insurance policy with special "in
case of death from beer cellar bomb"
clause
For Stain: A bigger paddle with
which to spread communism, or, the
whole of Finland and gaily wrapped,

countries.
For Neville Chamberlain: A new
umbrella.
For Fritz Kuhn: An "eversharp''
hack saw.
