UNCLE WIGGH4Y AND THE
SLIDE.
lBy Howard r. CARTS. J

Uncle Wiggily, do you feel like
taking little walk this morning?
asked Nurse Jane Fuzzy WuZZy,
the muskrat lady housekeeper, of
the bunny rabbit gentleman, as he
came out on the stoop of the hol-
low stump bungalow after break
fast.
y 'sWhy, yes, jamie, a walk or a
hop is what l generally take to
look for an adventure answered
Mr.. Longears. MAY / have the
pleasure of your company this
bright, beautiful day?"
"Oh, goodness me sakes alive,
no! | haven't time" said Nurse
Jane. But | have baked some
cup custards and / thought perhaps
you might want to take one over
to Grandfather GoOsey Gander."
81 should love to do that--he is
very fond of your cup custards, .
said Uncle Wiggily. Give it to
me- and I'll hop over with it so
quick as never was"
That's the trouble" spoke
Nurse Jane, as she wrinkled up
her whiskers. eff you take this
cup custard you must go slowly

cJust then he stepped
IN the slippery pine needle;

he had slid, and then he saw the
reason. The little hill was covered
with pine needles.
Now there is nothing more slip
perry than pine needles, as you
know if you have ever walked in
the woods. Pine needles, or the
long, dried stickers from the pine
tree, lying on a hill, make 1t almost
as slippery as though there was
ice and snow.
"Ha! l see what happened"
said Uncle Wiggily. 81 stepped on
the pine needles and slid before l
knew It, The Pip and Skee had noth-
ing to do with it. l hope Grandpa
Goosy's custard isn't all spoiled"
Uncle Wiggily brushed some OF
the nine needles off his red vest,
and hopped over to where the bas-
ket was leaning against tree.
Carefully the bunny litter the nap
kin and. looked inside.
e "Oh, Joy! Even the brown crust
on the custard isn't broken said
the bunny rabbit. 1.-THE custard
must have fallen on a soft bed OF
moss. Now I'll go on; but I'll
watch out for slides after this.
He put the napkin back over the
basket and was about to skip along
when, all of a sudden, a harsh
voice called:
s.What have you there?"
"a cup custard, for Grandpa
Goosey," answered Uncle Wiggily,
before he thought And then, look
ing up he saw at the top of the hill
down which he had slid, the UNI
pleasant old Skuddlemagoon.,
soup custard eh?, exclaimed
the Skuddlemagoon, opening his
mouth quite widely to smile. We'll,
that goes we'll with rabbit ear souse.
I'll try some!"
Uncle Wiggily started to hop
away.
Don't bother to bring 1t up the

A FATHER's THOUGHT.


What do want my boy to be?
Oft is the question asked Of me,
And oft / ask it of myself
What corner, niche, or post or shelf
In the great hall Of life would
Select for him to occupy?
Statesman or writer, poet, sage '
Or toiler for a weekly wage,
Artist or artisan? oh, what
Is to become his future lot?
For him l do not dare to plan,
/ only hope he'll be a man.
Y "a
/ leave it free for him to choose
The tools of life which he shall use
Brush, pen or chise, lathe or wrench,
The desk of commerce or the bench,
And pray that when he makes his choice
In each days task he shall rejoice.
! know somewhere there is need ?
For him to labor and succeed; .
Somewhere, if he be clean and true,
Loyal and honest through and through,
He shall be fit for any clan,
And so / hope he'll be man.
/ would not build my hope or ask
That he shall do some certain task,
Or bend his will to suit my own,
He shall select his post alone.
Life. needs a thousand kinds of men,
Toilers and masters of the pen,
Doctors, mechanics. sturdy hands
To do the work which it commands
And wheresoe'er he's pleased to go.
Honor and triumph he may know.
Therefore, / must do all ! can
To teach my boy to be a man.

country they'll be chasing, making
speeches here and there, with the
perspiration racing down their

neckties will be tilted, and their
whiskers dripping sweat. oh,

Carefully"
Il will" promised Uncle Wig
gily, so Nurse Jane put one of the
nicely Drowned yellow custards in
a basket, covering it with a clean
napkin. Uncle Wiggily hung the
basket on his paw and started off
over the fields and through the
woods to Grandpa Goosey's house.
II hope the Pipsisewah doesn' t
chase me now, or even the Skee-
ticks or the Skuddlemagoon,"
thought Uncle Wiggily, as he walk

For if they chased, me I'd have
