sBEDIIME STORY u
UNCLE WIGGILY AND THE WALLPAPER.

Uncle Butter climbed up on the high
step ladder to put some paper on the
ceiling and, just as he did so, open
flew the o and into the room where
bad old Skeezicks! Think OF that!
'oh, no and oh, ha!r howled the
Skeezicks. This is my lucky day! |
thought I'd find you here. The baboon
said you weren't in yesterday, but you
are today!"
Uncle Wiggily thought how he had
fooled the baboon, as l told you last
night, by getting splashed all over with
paint, until he looked camouflaged. But
there was no chance to do this now,
for there was no paint-only paper.
80 you are going to catch Uncle
Wigg.ly, are your" asked Uncle Butter
as NJ climbed down from the step lad
der and dipped his brush in the pail Of
paste.
Il am going to catch him and bite a
lot Of souse off his ears" said the
Skeezicks.
win nothing stop you2' asked Uncle
Wiggily, in a low sad voice, and for
NAL like.
Nothing will stop me-" said the
Skeezicks.
well, perhaps this will" suddenly
With that he dipped his flat, wide
brush deeper into the pail of paste. He
drew it out and Tipped 1t all over the
Skeezicks, covering that bad chap with
a thick coat Of paste, as the goat gen
tleman had covered the walls of Uncle
Wiggily's bungalow with the sticky
stuff.
"Quicl1 now-stick on him some of
this old paper that ] scraped off the
wallis" cried the goat gentleman.
Uncle Wiggily lost no time. Catch
ing up a paw full Of the scrappy, old
paper, he pressed it on the back of the
Skeezicks. There it stuck because the
bad chap was all paste,
Now, it's my turn" bleated Uncle
Butter, n he, too, stuck a wad of old
paper on the unpleasant creature.
In a few seconds the Skeezicks was
all stuck up, and so covered with paste
| and paper that he looked like a waste
basket.
"Oh, WOW! Oh, double WOW! This is
no place for me-" howled the Skee. II
didn't know you were going to do his
to mel"
can," said Uncle Butter, and away ran
the SkeeZicks, looking Ike the tail of
a boys kite-all scraps Of paper. So
he didn't get the bunny's souse after
all, and when Uncle Butter finished
papering, the bungalow looked fine. So

Venus and the sun are In benefic
aspect today, according to astrology,
but Mars, Neptune and Jupiter are all
adverse.
Again the stars seem to promise un-
usual prominence to women, not only
in all public affairs, but in literature
and art.
This should be a fortunate sway un-
der which to make initiative in any
theatrical venture or any enterprise in
volving an appeal to the emotions or
the intellect.
1t should be a lucky planetary gov
eminent under which to seek positions
or engagements of any sort, for the
stars are held to impart sympathy and
understanding to employers usually in
different to applicants.
Education will occupy more atten-
tion than ever before during the COM
ing months, when government agencies
will promote many ambitious plans to
blot out illiteracy m mold aliens to
American ideals. A dramatic event will
give impetus to this movement.
Mars is in aspect that warns Of dis
sensions and quarrels. Riots and labor
difficulties are indicated, but the new
year is to bring better conditions in
which industry will be gradually read
justed to a basis Of just profit sharing.
Since 1914, when the beginning of a
new era was prophesied by a~strologers,
the passing Of all old rulers or wieiders
of power has been prophesied. This ap-
plies to all planes Of existence and in
cludes the representation that among
the new leaders will be more than one
Who will rise from the ranks OF labor.
Business ventures should be DELAYED
during this sway of the stars. 1t Is not
a %propitious time to begin new enter
prises, but great opportunities are close
at hand, the seers announce.
Next month may bring a lumber n,
grave problems in diplomacy, but they
will be wisely met.
The death Of a noted scientist is in.
dicated by the stars, which forecast
the writing Of new names on the pages
of history. %
Persons whose birthdate II Is have
the augury Of success during the com
ing year, but they must guard against
accidents. ~
Children born on this day may be
rash, yet tenacious and determined
They are likely to succeed best under
careful guidance

bunny rabbit gentleman,

Mr.. L%ongears. I'm going to hop now,
over to Uncle Buffers, n ask that
goat gentleman to come and put the
new paper on the walls"
Uncle Butter was a very busy old
goat gentleman. When he was not
mixing up paste for circus posters he
was teaching Mamie and Billie Wag-
tail, the two goat children, how to get
the sweet, sticky paper off the outside
Of tomato ans.
$50 you want me to come and D
your bungalow; do your" asked the
goat gentleman, when Uncle Wiggily
had paid him a call. well, I'll be over
In the morning"
And in the morning Uncle Butter
reached the hollow stump bungalow.
There he was, paste pot, brushes, new
rolls of paper and all.
Which room do you want me to
paper first?' asked Uncle Butter of
Uncle Wiggily.
"Oh, Nurse James, / guess was the
answer. she Is going to have her room
done in lavender and old gold-very
stylish, she says"
What color is yours going to be.
Uncle Wiggily?" asked Mr.. Butter, as
he mixed the stick flour paste in a
S"ofh, I'm going to have red paper
with little black dancing fairies
splashed all over it," answered the
bunny with a laugh. "I don't so much
care for a stylish, artistic paper as /
do for something jolly!
That's the way to TALK bleated
Uncle Butter, sporty like.
So he was wetting and scraping from
the walls the old paper. Uncle Wig
| gily sat down to watch, while Nurse
Jane went over to call on Mrs. Wibble-
wobble, the duck lady, Nurse Jane
wanted TO be out of the way when
paperhanging was going on.
Uncle Butter, the goat gentleman,
scraped down a lot Of the old paper
in the middle of the room and Uncle
Wiggily helped him carry some of 1t
out In the yard. Then Mr.. Butter be-
gan fastening the new paper on the
wall, using the stick flour paste.
This is fun!' said Uncle Wiggily,
who was sitting ear the pail of paste,
looking On. 81 think I'd like to be a

Although Venus rules strongly for
good, this is not a lucky day, accord
ing to ~astrology. Mercury and Saturn
exercise malign power during this con-
figuration.
1t is held to be a most ~unfavorable
daN for beginning journeys or making
changes OF any sort.
Ministers may find the sway rather
unfortunate, since 1t is supposed to
render men and women impervious to
any suggestion Of self-sacrifice.
Letter writing is subject to a pc
culiarly sinister influence during this
rule Of the stars, which makes for mis-
understandings. Although the planet
that is friendly to lovers promises much,
It is wise to delay love missives until
kindly influences rule.
Saturn is in a place believed to
presage anxiety for all who draw their
maintenance from the ground. Farm
ers are warned Of unusual weather and
severe storms.
Mines and mining are subject to ma
lign influences that will be very appar-
ent during the next o weeds.
CAPITAL and labor are warned that
conditions of much uncertainty will
precipitate trouble, but again II is fore
told that workers are to profit by a
planetary rule that will cause finan-
ciers and employers to favor cooper
alive reforms. Uranus is in a place
supposed to encourage altruistic thought
and to enable men and women to see
each others problems, This sway de-
velopes the spirit Of democracy.
Women are subject to a direction of
the stars which is most promising to
their political progress. Appointments
to high offices in the government are
foretold,
Mars will bring serious troubles to
more than one city, for the condition
forecast months ago as indicating riots
and fires still prevails.
Persons whose birthdate it is may
have an exacting and difficult year, but
they can overcome difficulties by care
and industry.
Children born on this day may be
given to moods, but they are usually
talented and clever. In speech they are
likely 10 be frank even to the point of
bluntness
