Uncle Wigily and His Tall Hat,
By HOWARD 3. GARIs.

At Uncle WIGGIL1, you had bet

Nurse Jane Fuzzy Wuzzy, the
muskat lady, who kept house for the
rabbit gentleman. She looked at Mr.
LongeaTs as he was finishing his
breakfast Of carrot pancakes with ap-
PIE dumping sauce in the middle.
Not 90 out, and why. pray asked
Uncle Wiggily, pushing back his chair
and walking slowly around the dining
room OF his hollow stump bungalow
Because 1 think We are going TO
have a bad storm said the muskrat
lady. The wind is blowing now and
soon il will snow. If you are caught
out in the storm your rhdematism may
be much worse
~Oh. guess not, JAMIE" said Uncle
WiEgily, sort Of webbing his ears
from side 10 side. I viii put on my
tail silk hat. my fur Overcoat and with
my red. white and blue striped rheu-
matism crutch which you gnawed for
ne out Of q cornstalk. I'll be all right
Surely you won't wear your tall
silk hat out when a storm is coming"
spoke Nurse Jane
And why not, pray?' asked Uncle
Because the wind may blow it off,
and make holes and dents in II, and
then II won't look nice"
well, all that may happen said
Uncle Wiggily. still I would look
funny without my tall hat as I always
wear II. II the wind spOils il I VIII

Grandfather GoOsey Gander 1 would
come over to play a game Of Scotch
checkers with him, and If I visited him
without my tall hat he would hardly
know me. So I'll wear it, Nurse Jane
Just as you like" said the muskrat
lady. But / think you ought not to-
Uncle WigGily did not want to as
please Nurse Jane, but still he thought
he ought to wear his tall SILK hat SO
soon he started off with il On top OF
his ears. and he put his paws IN the
pockets Of his fur OvercOat for II was

old goose gentleman For the wind

hold one paw on his tall hat all the
way along. And that made his paw
get cold, 50 he had to change every
now and then, and warm the cold paw.
while he held his hat from blowing OF
with the warm paw which he just took
from his pocket
But Finally Uncle Wiggily reached
Grandfather Goosey Gander's house and
had a fine game Of Scotch checkers
with the goose gentleman
And then it was time Tor Mr. Long

DO you want a piece OF shoestring
to tie your tall silk hat on your head.
50 il won't slow off on the way back
asked Grandpa Goosey. Il mean so
your hat won't blow off-not your
head"
Thank you. I believe I would like
a shoestring," said Uncle Wiggily.
Then with his tall hat safely tied on
his head. over his ears, Uncle Wiggily
started for his hollow stump bungalow
But he had not gone very far through
the woods before he heard a sad little
crying noise, in some bushes which
were partly covered with snow.
