One million five hundred thou-) eand persons visited it in the season of 1916, Along the shores of one) of its ponds last summer 8,000 Boy Scouts pitched their tents, while} at other camp sites 3,000 working girle and hundreds of pale, un- dernourished city children spent weeks that brought them health and strength. In the Adirondack and Catskill] Mountains the State of New) York owns 1,814,550 acres of foreste and lakes, constituting the For-/ eat Preserve, secured forever to the public, But within the lines that properly bound these Forest Preserve areas the State holds only 48 per cent. of the land. ‘I'he other 5% per cent. is privately owned distributed in various parcels und salients here and there in such | way that private carelessness, by neglecting fire precautions or permit- ting wholesale timber cutting, constantly endangers the safety and permanence of the State-owned forests, In order to protect and round out the State's holdings these| privately owned areas should be acquired without delay. | The preservation of State forests means health, recreation aud! the pure joy of out-of-door living for millions in this generation and in others to come. It means conservation of the water supply, equal- ization of climate and temperature, and the saving or replenishment of vast timber resources, Care and extension of the people’s parks and forests have nothing to do with politics or the fortunes of any political party or candidate. | Every votes, Republican or Democrat, is equally interested in the de-, velopment of the Palisades Interstate Park and in consolidating into, unbroken tracts the State forest lands in the Catskill and Adiron- deck Mountains, & Next Tuesday voters in this State will find on the official ballot:| PROPOSITION NO. 1.

(The New York Bvening World), at NO. 9.—THOMAS CHATTERTON, “The Marvellous Boy.” jISTORY has oawed him “The Marvellous Boy.” But his own generation branded him as @ scoundrel ao] let him starve to death at seventeen. Here ts his story: His father was @ provinctal schoolmaster iu England, who died tn the summer of 1762, just three months before bis only son's bl ‘Thomas was sent to @ charity school by his widowed mother when he wi five, But to his family’s disgust he could not learn to read. He see: half-witted. After eighteen months be was sent back to bis mother with a message that even @ charity school was no place for an “incorrigible dunce.” His Mother then tried to teach him to read, but with no better success, unt! she chanced to show him an !uminated parchment manuscript that belonged to her husband. \ Thomas was wild with delight at seeing the yellowed old manuscript, He threw off hie dull apathy and began to study. | From the parchment he speedily learned the alphabet, and in order te Geolpher the illuminated letters he at once mastered the science of reading. | Encouraged by thie queer sign of intelligence, his mother sent him to school again, only to find be could not, or would not, study. Especially he hated | poetry. | ‘Then, all at once, when he was eleven, he became a prize student and | ana took to ecribbling verses in every spare moment, At fourteen he was | apprenticed to a Bristol lawyer. He did not stud: much law, but he studied everything At fifteen his career begun. A new bridge was) built at Bristol on the ruins of an old one, Chatterton ent the local newspapers a copy of an ancient manu. | script, which he sald he found in a battered trunk im the attic of his home, The manuscript purported to date from the Mfteenth (century, and contained an account of the ceremonies that attended the opening of the old bridge, The account was reprinted and caused consid- erable talk. This encouraged Chatterton to his next step. He announced that the chest of old manuscripts had been bought at @ jeate by his father, who had used some of the parclhiments as school book covers Many of the manuscripts, Thomas declared, were still in his own | possession. The bulk of them, he said, contained poems by one Thomas Rowley, a; ‘mediaeval priest. And Chatterton proceeded to copy and distribute these} poems, Ho even exhibited some of the stained old parchments to prove his statement | Ho presented the city of Bristol with a 300-year-old history (also byt’ “Thomas Rowley”) of the early churches of the city, He sent an éminent | theologian a crumbling fragment of one of Rowley’s inspired sermons. t | All this sort of thing brought the boy a certain amount of local | notoriety. But he was ambitious to broaden his field of labor. He picked out eas @ victim one of the most prominent men in England—Horace ‘Walpole, the author-statesman, a smug, conceited, vindictive old patron of letters. Thomas sent Walpole a bundle of ancient manuscripta—poems, chron, lteles, &e., of rare literary value—all by “Rowley.” Walpole war deligh: jand proudly and loudly boasted of Chatterton’s wonderful discoveries, At fitteen the youngster awoke to find himself famou Then came the crash. Two archarologists—Mason and Gray—studied the manuscripts that Walpole ao boastfully showed them. They told Wal- pole the manuscripts were impudent forgeries. And | ann) sthe full exposure fol d, Chatterton’s story had been Exposure and$ true only as concorned the fact that his father \} Punishment. bought a number of worthless olf parchment: é boy had stained these to make them look still older, on them he had written the poems and chronicle treatises, &c,, which he attributed to the mythical “Rowley.” The worl shown an excellence of literary quality and @ familiarity with anclent Eng- 4 at first deceived every one, aac Peaitieducataa boy could have written such things {s still one of the mysteries of the ages. Why he did it, Instead of profiting by the authorship himself, ts also a mystery, There was practically no money in tt for him. Walpole, instead of hailing Chatterton as a prodigy, denounced’ him as a forger, The lad was discharged by his employers. Every one eae eam to London and tried to make a living as a writer. But the blishers and editors meekly followed Walpo! lead by blacklisting the Pula ying of hunger after nearly @ week of starvation tn his garret room, Thgmas spent his last penny for a small dose of arsenic to hasten his death.
