ne said TO the muskrat lady. \ on

cent store, II you like, buy yourself
a pair of diamond earrings ana charge
them TO me-"
i thank YOU" said Nurse Jane, and
away she went, tying her tail in a
double bow knot so the cows would
! not step on il
The pudding was soon nicely baked
anu UAcle W.ggily sitting in front Of
! tbs tent, presently fell fast asleep, for
the day was a warm, sunny one. And
as he slept a bad mosquito saw him.
"hai / know what l shall do" said
the bad mosquito. TN sneak up, when
Uncle " igglly doesn't see me, asleep
as he is. and I'll take all the bullets
out Of his gun. Then he can't shoot,
and III get some of my other mosquito
friends and we'll capture him, and
carry MIN off to our swamp I'd carry
him alone, only he is TOO large for
me"
So this bad mosquito, flying softly
up, took all the bean bullets out OF
Uncle Wiggly's popgun. leaving it
unloaded. Then ne flew off and called
to ali the other bad biting bugs
come ont" he buzzed. Now we
can easily catch that rabbit he can't
shoot us,'
ont from their swamp swarmed the
mosquito army. Boldly and ready to
bite, they sailed through the air
toward the tent OF the brave soldier
rabbit. He was still asleep, but, all of
a sudden, he heard the buzzing of the
wings Of the mosquito pests in the air,
and awakened.
Hal The enemy approachesr' cried
Uncle Wiggily, just like a book. i
must shoot at them with my bean
But when the rabbit gentleman
pulled the trigger there was only
puff Of talcum powder and no bullets
shot out 10 drive away the mosqui-
toes.
Hot Ho. Hai Hag' cried the bad
bugs. You can't hurt US. but we can
catch you. Buzz Bizzi Bazzi'
oh, my goodness me. sakes awe.
and some mustard lollypopsE cried
Uncle Wigglly. This IS terriblel No
bullets for my gum What shall do?"
''DO2 What shall you do? Why use
some Of the round, white, hard tapioca
bullets you have left from making

Rushing into his tent he filled his
popgun with the tapioca pellets, and
these he shot at the mosquitoes.
"Biffi Bangr they struck the bad
biting bugs on their noses and toeses.

And now. If the toy express wagon
doesn't run off by itself down the

ERVES are the real or imagin-

L ans life. Il is doubtful which

but the real ones require a more de-
vious method Of cure
There are two splendid things to
do TO overcome a nervous condition.
One is eat. the other, sleep. Fat peo-
pie are never nervous, big eaters are
seldom nervous. When there is food
in the stomach, the blood is drawn
down from the brain, and, for q time
gradually. sufficient good food will
build up the system.
Sleep. of course, is another re-
builder. The nervous woman needs
nine hours sleep at least, either all
at night or al night and during the
afternoon in the course OF q nap
Ten hours would be better yet
However. neurotic women are apt
to toss about and to sleep uIT asily.
The best way TO overcome this-and
this is good for the looks and should
be practised by all but fat women
is TO eat a few crackers and TO drink
a cup OF hot chocolate or hot milk,
just before getting into bed. This
draws the blood from the brain, and
induces an early and . dreamless
sleep.
The nervous woman is never pref
ty- She is apt to have hollow cheeks,
and the run down system shows it,
self by deep circles under the eyes,
and fine lines that creep into the
face. The eyes seem dull too. Be
sides. the nervous woman being rest

.-Tapioca you shall haver' said
Nurse Jane with a switch OF her tail
70 put herself on the right track DO

On, yes" answered Uncle Wiggig.
You get the round, dried, hard
tapioca which is like little white
marbles. Then you soak il in water

with sugar and eggs and milk and

Wiggily, laughing as he thought Of
the mistake he had made with the
rice. which story 1 have had the
pleasure of telling you.
So while Nurse Jane went TO the
store for the tapioca. Uncle Wiggily
marched like a soldier up and down
in front Of his tent Il had been
blown up, together with the rabbit
gentleman, by the bad fox and the
mosquitoes, using talcum and tooth
powder, as 1 told you last night But
when Uncle Wigguy came safely fall

Jane. as she came back from the store
and gave the bunny rabbit a package.

Uncle WiggIy was q pretty good
cook, and having everything ne
needed in his tent he soon had the

Japan continues under a direction

prophecy that it will render some
great service to the United States.
Mexico has the prospect of going

at Hotel Vendig last night by Billy Gibson
manager Of Benny Leonard and Jimmy

The largest purse ever offered for a six

work making $50 600 in all
For more than month this match has
hean hanging fire. Promoters from all
parts of the country bid for the battle, and
il was thought that II would go to some
citv in the West However, James Dough,
ertv. of Leiperville, and John Shibe, secre-
tarv of the Athletics got together and put
mn a nurse that could not be turned down.
The weight question proved to he big
stumbling block and almost ended negota-
tons several times. Dunn held out for 1873
mounds ringside, as his man was stepping
out of his class and would give away sew
eral pounds anyway, and Gibson wanted
l33 at o'clock on the night Of the bout.
After arguing for about an hour the weight
was agreed upon as 1873 pounds at o'clock.
Each side was required to post a forfeit Of
$500 for weight and appearance.
This is the biggest match In fistana today
and no doubt will be extremely popular.
