Uncle Wiggily-

nut for a cocoanut cake" replied Aunt
Flippity-Flop. And where are you
going, Uncle Wiggily2"
ITO the store to get some mOlasses
for a molasses cake" he replied. Lets
go together"
So they did. but as the molasses store
was on the woodland path. and the CO.
coanut store (kept by a monkey doodle
gentleman) on another, Uncle Wiggily
and Aunt F1ippity-F1Op soon parted
I'll see you again on the way home"
said the rabbit gentleman.
Yes, do" begged the crow lady.
Then, with his jug full Of mOlasses
on his paw. Uncle Wiggily was soon on
his way home again, and. IN a little
while he met Aunt Flippity- Flop once
more But how strangely the crow
lady was actingi
She would hop on a little way, and
then she would fall down. Then she
would get up. and topple over side
ways. And. no sooner had she straight

would do a back peppersault.

FEW YORK, June 4.-SOme time
N ago I reported a conversation
- with a saIoonkeeper who COM
planned that men spent their money
on movies" instead Of booze these
days. Magistrate John A. Leach, Of
Queens. has now supplied me with
some statistics bearing out the cafe
proprietor's observations
In the boroughs Of Queens and Rich
mOnd, the total population was 1.775,-
600 in 1907 and there were 5000 ar
raignments for intoxication that year
Last year the population increased TO
2.267, 625, but the drunk cases had
dropped TO S,3S2, or less than half in
proportion to inhabitants.
I'VE magistrates have talked it over
and agree that while education, news
paper advice and the distrust of drink
ers by employers have done something,
the principal aid to sobriety is the
moving picture theaters," his honor
told me
The workingman who formerly
went TO the saloon as the working
mans club now goes to the picture
show and takes his family. That is
now the chief amusement Of the work
ingman-"

man.
"Oh. it's this round cocoanut I am
lady. Tt rolls from side TO side and
overbalances me so can't walk
straight"
Why don't you fly, them" asked
Uncle Wiggily.
That would be worse, I fear" said
Aunt Flippity. She tried il, and II was.
ket. and over the crow lady went head
over tail feathers.
You see Aunt Flippity-Flop was so
delicate that the least little thing, like
too much butter on one side Of her slice
Of jam. made her top-heavy. and over
she would tumble. And. Of course. a
rolling cocoanut in basket was worse
"Oh, dearr' she cawed, "Il never be
able TO get back to the nest with this
cocoanut"
oh, yes you will" Uncle Wiggily
said Ell fix that cocoanut," so the
rabbit gentleman put some sticky mo-
lasses in the bottom Of the crow ladys
basket That held the cOcOanut from
rolling, Just as flypaper would And
when the round nut did not roll any
more Aunt Flippity-Flop could hop
along very nicely. without being over
balanced and falling.
So she thanked Uncle Wiggily and
was soon safely home, and he was too,
