Bedtime Stories
By THORNTON w. BURGESS.

AS Peter Rabbit sat admiring
Rosebreast the Grosbeak, another
bird appeared in the tree with Rose
breast.
"Who's that?" cried Peter.
MRS. Grosbeak, of course. Who
else would it be?" sputtered Jenny
rather Grossly.
Never, never would have guessed
it," replied Peter. she doesn't look
the least bit like him except that
she is the same size and shape"
This was quite true. There was
no beautiful rose color about Mrs.
Grosbeak. She wore brown and
gray principally, with little touches
of buff here and there, and with
dark streaks on her breast. Over
each eye was a whitish line. 1t
didn't seem possible that she could
be the mate of handsome Rose
breast. To Peter she looked more
like an overgrown member of the
sparrow family. While Rosebreast
sang, Mrs. Grosbeak was very busy
picking buds and blossoms from the
trees. This struck Peter as queer.
What is she doing that for?" he
inquired.
For the same reason that you
bite off sweet clover blossoms and
leaves replied Jenny Wren tartly.
DO you mean to say that they
live on buds and blossoms?' cried
Peter. Il never have heard of such
thing. I shouldn't think Farmer
Brown would like that"
Tut, tut, tut, tut. You can ask
more silly questions than anybody
of my acquaintance, retorted Jenny
Wren. "Of course they don't live
on buds and blossoms. If they de-
pended on those they would soon
starve to death. Use your head.
Peter, use your head. You know
we'll enough that buds and blossoms
last only a very short time. The
Grosbeaks eat a few just for the
sake of variety, but they live mostly
on bugs and insects. You ask
Farmer Browns Boy who helps him
most in his potato patch, and he'll
tell you it's the Grosbeaks They
certainly do love potato bugs. They
eat some fruit. but on the whole
they are about as useful folk around
the garden as any one know. Now
run along, Peter Rabbit, and don't
bother me any more"
Peter didn't run along right away.
He sat around watching Rosebreast
and Mrs. Grosbeak until he hap
pened to look up to see Farmer
Browns Boy Just starting down
through the Old Orchard Then
Peter decided it was time for him to
leave,

Counsel to Appeal
For New Trial; Lindsey
To Die Same Day

Jarvis r. Catoe, colored, today
ofIicially had but little more than
three months to live, with his exc
cution date for the criminal assault
murder of Hrs. Rose Abramowitz
fixed for February 8.
In the interim, his attorneys,
Walter M. Shea, J. Robert Esher
and George j. Boden, will seek to
convince the United States Court
of Appeals that he should be saved
from the electric chair and given
4 new trial.
Justice James w. Morris in Dis
trict Court imposed the death
penalty on Catoe yesterday after
noon after overruling a motion for
new trial. The prosecutors,
United States Attorney Edward M.
Curran and Assistant United States
Attorney John w. Fiheily. were on
hand to oppose the granting OF a
new trial, scouting defense conten-
tions that errors had been made
and that Catoe had not been tried
fairly.
Catoe Again Denies Guilt.
Standing calmly before the bench,
Catoe, when asked by Justice Morris
if he had anything to say prior to
the passing of the death sentence.
declared: Judge, your honor, after
am gone, the murder will remain
unsolved. You won't have the right
man."
In overruling the motion for a
new trial, Justice Morris declared
that the discussion had brought
forth no questions that had not
been passed upon at the trial The
Jury. he said, had considered the
question of the confession and
decided it was voluntarily given.
With reference to the question
raised by the defense that Catoe
had allegedly made some admls-
sions to the four physicians-two
selected by the Government and
two by the defense-who examined
him for saneness, Justice Morris
asserted that he did not feel that
this violated any confidential rela-
tionship between doctor and
patient.
Warned by Doctor.
The alienists chosen by the Gov
ernment had put Catoe on guard,
said Justice Morris. that anything
divulged might be used in evidence
against him
