CHILDREN EVENING Story

very long, Uncle heard, down on the

"Oh, dear! Now l am in trouble!'
MY! l wonder if that's Tom, the
grocery cat. who has another broken
basket?" said Uncle Wiggily to him.
self. IF it is I must help him
He looked down and found that,
right under him, was big church with
a steeple and in front of the church
was the sexton, or janitcr, a very nice
man, indeed if you will kindly allow
me to say so. - . .. -...... .. ...
"Oh, dear! Such trouble!' cried the
sexton, sadly. - ~'.
What is the trouble?' asked Uncle
Wiggily kindly, as he lowered his air
ship. Perhaps l can help you
E: I'm afraid not" answered the JAM.
tor. "You see, the rope by which l
pull the church bell is broken. To-
morrow is Sunday and have not time
to mend the rope. l can't ring the
bell, and unless 1 do make it jingle
ding-dong, the people will not hear it
and will not come to church"
"Ha! That is too bad" agreed
Uncle Wiggily. For going to church
does every one good. But won't they
come even If the bell doesn't ring?'
+ II am afraid not" said the sexton.
you see, the bell has been rung every
Sunday for years and years and years.
The people have become used to It,.
They don't even look at their clocks,
but when they hear the bell go ding
dong!' they say: All! it is time to go
to church. But now, alas, the rope is
ho Ia ~ n q
the bell tomorrow, Sunday"
Don't worry" said Uncle Wiggily,
with laugh. "And don't be gloomy
Plump, whatever happens. Perhaps l
may be able to help YOU"
But the sexton did not think so, and
he was quite sad. He tried to fix the
bell rope, but he could not, and It
looked as though the bell would not
ring for Sunday church. :.~- :
But what did Uncle Wiggily do?
Listen, as the telephone girl says, and
I will tell you. Sunday morning,
bright and early, the rabbit gentleman
took lot of stones in the clothes
basket and he went up in his airsh1p.
Right up over the church steeple he
went, and he lowered near the bell,
and, when it was time for church, the
rabbit gentleman threw stones at the
bell. And he hit it every time.
Crack" went stone on the bell,
and the bell went "Ding-dong! Ding
dong!" slowly and solemn-like. More
stones did Uncle Wiggily throw from
his airship, and every time the bell
rang just as well as though the sexton
had pulled the rope.
Hal cried all the people. There
goes the bell! 1t is time for church.
So they went, and were not late, but
they were much surprised when they
saw Uncle Wiggily in his airship,
throwing stones at the bell to ring 1t.
And when all the people were IN
their seats, Uncle Wiggily didn't have
to ring the bell any more. He came
down out of his airship and went to
church himself and everybody was
happy, and the sexton was most espec-
tally thankful to the rabbit gentleman.
So that's all now, if you please, but
on Monday night, if my Typewriter
doesn't go in swimming and get its
hair ribbon all wet, I'll tell you about
Uncle Wiggily and the dolls house.

WE ARE COMING TO the season OF the
year when a sort of housekeeping
of ourselves. is advisable. The phrase
is not pretty, but comes from a nice
old grandmotherly lady whom 1
know, who has lived to eighty years
in the pink Of condition.
So, whether we live in Canada or
New Orleans, or in New York, which
seems to get more assorted brands
Of weather than any other place I
know, the annual spring cleaning
should commence. The. blood has
gotten thick through the winter,
partly because Of the heavier food
one always eats then, partly because
thick blood must be supplied to with
stand the colder temperature. But
spring Is practically here.
Start with buttermilk. Drink q
glass full Of buttermilk with either
your breakfast or luncheon. and q
second glass before you go to bed.
Buttermilk stirs the liver, tones up
the stomach. It will also agree with
nearly everyone, where sweet milk
will sour in their stomachs. It will
give you a beautifully clear, creamy
skin II you drink enough Of 1t faith
fully. '''"
II you like 1t and flnd It agrees
with your digestic Il, would advise
you to drink glass Of it with every
meal and q fourth glass Ut bedtime.
But II you are not accustomed to It
try the two.gless q day plan till you
are used to 1t. Some have to cult
vate their palates to like the peculiar
taste as others have to learn to en-
Joy olives. 4.-...
Buttermilk is = cheap enough
beauty diet-cheaper than sweet
milk, and personally, think. even
healthier. In summer time it is fed
to babies too sick to digest ordinary
milk.

$1,000 INSURANCE
ON PILE OF COBS

Shenandoah, March 21.-An insur-
ance inspector from Council Bluffs
came to Shenandoah the first of the
week to investigate Earl Sheets. 1t
all happened because he sent in an
insurance policy for $1,000 on a pile of
corn cobs. The insurance company
never had received policy on corn
cobs before and they could not believe
that any sane man would insure his
kindling against fire. '
But when the inspector looked at
the pile down at Ratekin's seed, about
1000 loads worth 81 load. he con-
cluded that the risk was justified and
the cobs were not over rated.
