By HOWARD 3. 6ARIS.

~Oh, 1 love hickory nuts" said the
rabbit gentleman.

The squirrel boys mother gave them
some nuts from the winter store in
the hollow tree, but Uncle Wiggily
said:
"Oh. Billie and Johnnie, It is very
kind Of you TO bring me the nuts. but
the shells are so hard 1 cannot crack
them with my teeth"
Wen crack the nuts for You, and
pick out the meats offered Billie. and
he took up a nut il his paws and began
gnawing on the hard shell with his
sharp teeth
IN gnaw a nut, too, for Uncle Wig
gily," said Johnnie
4 can gnaw larger nut than YOU!
cried Billie.
NO you can't, I can open my mouth
wider than you. and 7 can gnaw the
biggest nut" chartered Johnnie, boast
full like.
A queer thing to brag about. wasn't
it, To- see who could open his mouth
farthest But Of course, they were
only boy squirrels.
Johnnie put a big nut in his mouth,
which he opened very wide. and so did
Billie And then a queer thing hap
pened- Funny looks came over the
faces of the squirrel boys. They put
their paws 10 their teeth and made, oh.
such queer noises.
-.Wah, Ga-goO- buch, Wump-ug-
ingO-' mumbled Billie.
.'Goozum, Churgzk, Whupffle, Zurg.
snickered Johnnie.
-Oh. what queer talk" cried Uncle
Wiggily. But ! see what is the mat
ter. You have each put such a big nut
in your mouth that YOU can't get il out,
and you can't talk plainly. Isn't that
it,
Billie and Johnnie nodded their heads
and tails. for they could not speak
with the big nuts in their mouths.
4 wonder how I can get out the
nuts Uncle Wiggily said. 4 know.
II / put a little greasy butter-scOtch
candy on their teeth the nuts viii slip
and slide out as easily as a sle1 slides
down hill"
Then the rabbit gentleman creased
the teeth Of the squirrel boys, and the
nuts that were stuck in their mouths
slipped out and very glad Billie and
Johnnie were. for their jaws ached
from holding them open so wide and so
long
Don't ever try any more mouth

Wiggily, and the squirrel boys said
they would not Next they took smaller
nuts TO crack for Uncle Wiggily. and
the rabbit gentleman had as much nut
