Uncle Wiggify was out playing with
Samn1ie Littletail and his sister Susie
and their friends. the Bushytails and
Wibbie Wobbles.
All Of a sudden as the children and
Uncle Wiggily were having lots OF
fun, they heard a queer little squeak
ing noise near where, the rabbit and
squirrel boys were making their rail-
road, and a sad voice said:
''Oh, dear! Such troubles as I'm in
My tail Is caught fast in q crack In
stone. and ! can't get loose! On.

giIy kindly, for he knew II was not

Il am the digging mole" was the
answer. II was going along, when.
all Of a sudden. my little tail became

being blind. can't see how To turn
the stone over, or might pull myself
"rm help you. said uncle wisrily.
and it did not take the bunny gentle
man long to set the poor mole free,
and the little creature. smoothing out
its fur. said:
Thank you, Mr.. Longearh You
have been very kind to me. I wish
1 could do you or some Of your friends
a favor"
And just then sammie, from the far
end Of the play railroad, called:
oh. Uncle Wiggily! We want to
make a tunnel for our roller skate
train. but we don't know how. Every
time We dig one it caves in"
"oh, no! Please let me make you q
tunnel" begged the mole. Though I
am blind. like all moles. for we have
no eyes. not needing them in the
dark under ground where We live.
still know how to dig tunnels.
go by feeling. not by seeing"
Then the mole, with his strong front
claws. just like garden digging tools.
quickly made a nne, smooth tunnel
in the sand for the rabbit and squirrel
boys. They had lots OF fun running
the roller skate train through Il.
And when Uncle Wiggily sat down
TO eat at the play party with the rab-
bit and duck girls. Susie said:
"oh, Uncle Wiggily. I dropped my
little ring. the one you gave me. down
in the dirt and 1 can't find it,'
Let me try" said the blind mole
Then he dug down with his strong
va" Iell dEouhu Win ms sIldTp muse
and up he came with Susie's ring on
the end of it.
''Oh. thank you" said the little rab-
bit girl. Now I know that even a
blind mole may help" Then they in
vited the mole to the party. and they
gave him a ride on the roller skate
train and everybody had a good time.
And if the looking glass doesn't shine
in the dark and make funny farAa at
the hair brush in moving pictures, I'll
tell you next about Uncle Wiggily and

HOW TO ACQUIRE HAIR BEAUTY

You can enjoy a delightful shampoo
with very little effort and for
very trifiing cost. if you get from
your druggists package of can
throx and dissolve a teaspoonful in
a cup of water. This makes a full
cup Of shampoo liquid. enough so IT
is easy to apply II to all the hair
instead Of just the top OF the head.
Your shampoo is now ready. Just
pour a little at a time on the scalp
and hair until both are entirely cover
ed by the daintily perfumed prepara-
tion that thoroughly dissolves and
removes every bit OF dandruff, ex-
cess oil and dirt. After rinsinz the
hair dries quickly with a fluffiness
that makes it seem heavier than it Is.
and takes on a rich 1uster and a
softness that makes arranging 1t a
pleasure ADV

/ Mr.. and Mrs. Larz Anderson, who
were in Detroit last week, where
they went for the funeral of Mr..
Philip Mcmillan. have returned to
Washington. Mrs. Philip Mcmillan
is the sister of Mr.. Anderson. Mrs.
Mcmillan Gibson also was in De-
troit. where she went from Bos-
ton, having received word while
she was en- route home from York
Harbor of the death of her uncle,
Mr.. Mcmillan.
The return OF Mrs. Larz Anderson
from Detroit gives new interest to

West
Niscount Grey, the ambassador Of
Great Britain, and Mr. Herbert Hoov-
er are two OF the last important per-
sonages to take an interest in the
movement. which has already as
sumed important proportions. Plans
are being formulated for a Belgian
Day, and a band concert, the dates
for which will be given out within a
few days. Collections were taken up
in the Church OF the Epiphany and
in st. Johns Church for the fund, !,
and, undoubtedly, the ministers Of
other churches will make a like sug-
gestion- The more important mer-
chants of Washington will probably
take a material interest in the move
ment this week. In Boston the drive
is being made almost entirely by
physicians and their wives and by
the nurses of the city. The physi-
clans and nurses Of Washington have
not yet taken up the movement to
any extent, but will undoubtedly
start tn do so this week.
Two meetings of the committee will
be held at the home cf Mt and Mrs.
Anderson. on Massachusetts, avenue.

O'Clock, and the last on Wednesday,

claims to distinction. Conspicuous
among her first citizens was York
Leicester Oriscoll, forty years or
age. Judge of the County Court, Of
unblemished Virginia stock. unhap-
PLY childless, and esteemed by
everybody that knew him. Anoth-
er citizen of repute was Colonel
Cecil Burleigh Essex. who except
for one important particular later
disclosed has nothing to do with
this story. Resident here also was
a certain Percy Northumberland
Driscoll. brother to the judge. mar
ried, and a prosperous owner Of
slaves, among whom was a likely
wench of twenty. Roxana by name,
into whose home on the first day of
February. 1880. two boy babies were
born One Of these. christened Tom,
