UNCLE WIGGILY AND THE
CHRISTMAS TREE.
(By Howard II. Garis.l


''Wen. Uncle Wiggily," SAID
Nurse Jane Fuzzy Wuzzy to the
bunny gentleman one morning IN
the hollow stump bungalow, l
suppose you might as well start
out now and get it,"
'Uncle Wiggily dropped the
Cabbage Leaf Newspaper he was
reading to see what sort OF pres
ent he ought to tell Santa Claus 10
bring his muskrat lady house
keeper. Then the bunny gentle
man asked:
"Did you tell me to go to the
store, Miss Fuzzy Nuzzy; ana did
| forget it?" -
ooh, no." she answered smiling
SO that her whiskers crept around
and tckled the back of her neck.
"Vhat | meant was that 1t ought
tn be nearly time to 20 and get the
Christmas tree. We always nave

young and longer" $500,
"Oh. we aren't so very old"'
laughed Uncle Wiggily. 1--WE can
have a Christmas tree for four lit
tie animal boy and girl friends, ii
not for ourselves I'll go get one,
Nurse Jane.
So the bunny gentleman rabbit
started off or the woods with an
axe to cut down nice evergreen
! Christmas tree. And, as it hap
pened, he had some bread and
| cake crumbs in his tall silk hat,
lust as he had when he met the
| Flicker bird who saved him from
the Bear.
II might meet some other hun
gry birds" said Uncle Wiggily,
| sliding his head from side to side,
SO the bread and cake crumbs in
his hat sort of tickled his bald
spot.
| the bunny went, and soon he came
| TO a little grove of Christmas
trees. The rabbit gentleman pick
ed out one of just the right size,
and as he was chopping it down
so he could drag it to his hollow
| stump bungalow, Uncle Wiggily
thought he saw something black
| fluttering amid the green branch
| eS.
But when he looked again,
cleaning his glasses off on white
bit of snow, the bunny shook his
| head.
81 guess, after all, I didn't see
| anything," he said. Then he fin
ished cutting down the tree, and
hosting the thick end up on his
shoulder, he started dragging it
along the snow-covered ground to-
| ward his hollow stump home.
"And then Nurse Jane and
| Wit have a lot of fun, trimming it
| and getting 1t ready to light for
Christmas morning, when Santa
| Claus pays visit to all the ami
nal girls and boys, as we'll as to
all the real boys and girls"
| thought the bunny gentleman.
Uncle Wiggily was filled with
happy Christmas thoughts as he
dragged the tree along, and he
was lust wishing he might meet
| Jackie and Peetie Bow Wow, the
| puppy dog boys, who would help
him with the load, when, all of a
sudden. a voice behind him said:

you forget to mention the blockade.
A column and half on Mr.. Van
derlip doesn't alter the fact that
women and children are dying in
Russia for lack of food and medi-
cines because the allies will not
permit those necessities to get
through to Russia. You surely can't
approve of that. For the sake of
argument I'll admit all you and the
New York Times have said about
Mr.. Vanderlip. That doesn t
change the fact of the blockade.

cmphatically that l do not agree
with bolshevism as a political
theory. But, as / said before, you

MINCE PIES.

when wintry weather came, and
make the grandest old mince pies!
She was a queenly dame; she had
blue prints for pies and cakes of
old colonial times, compared with
which our modern fakes in cook
cry are crimes. My Aunt Jemima
bakes no more, no more with me
she dwells; she journeyed to the
other shore. where she is wearing
bells. There's no one now to make
me pies like Aunt Jemima made;

But there was no answer and

unkindly and impolitely. "And this

Answer: | am pleased to be able
to give you the following fine
recipe which has just been sent

than the several good recipes l

pers: Wash - medium-sized

and keep for later use, take out
seeds and wash the peppers well.
Make a filling of large cups of
finely ground. stale bread crumbs;
CRATE over this a piece of cheese
about ! 1-2 inches square, moisten
with milk or cream, and stuff the
peppers with this mixture. Now
put 1-2 cup of lard or butter in
large iron spider and put the pep
pers into this, packing them close
cover and put on range and COOK,
turning often so as not to burn,
Heat a can of tomatoes
and break the large tomato
pieces small; pour this over the
peppers in a large dish just be-
fore serving. This is delicious and
very rich. Fasten caps on pep
pers with toothpicks.

will think you fast learner. It's

Before you nibble me-" said the
bunny, "please drag this Christmas
tree home to Nurse Jane. She will

Wolf, but you'll have to help me.

"There is no help for it. I sup

make up my mind to being nib
bled." Then he and the Wolf pick
ed up the tree to drag it along,
but, all of sudden, the same
voice Uncle Wiggily had heard be-
fore cried out:
Run! Run! Here come the
dogs! Run and save yourselves!
Whew, Whewl Whew!" and then

bunny. Though l heard the voice

Then again came the call and
whistles:

hunter dogs! Whew! Whew!"
"This is no place for me!' cried
the Wolf.
"Ha! Dogs! And hunters, too, |
suppose, with guns!" growled the
Wolf. "That wasn't you calling,
Uncle Wigglly, l know"
Then, dropping his end of the
Christmas tree, away ran the bad
| Woozie chap. But Uncle Wiggily
was too surprised to hop along.
And when the Wolf was far, far
away, there was a fluttering in the
tree, and out came a black crow
bird. The tree was so thick II
had hid the crow from sight.
did you call and whistle and
scare the Wolff" asked Uncle
Wiggily, ioyous-like. ..
II did," croaked the Crow. Il
hid i'm the tree to keep warm and
to get a ride as you dragged 1t
along, and when / saw the Wolf !
thought I'd scare him."
And you did" said the bunny
"Thank you! And here are some
crumbs for YOU" and Mr.. Long
ears took them out of his hat
Then the Crow ate as many cake
and bread crumbs as he wanted
and flew away, and the bunny
took home the Christmas tree.
SO if the wax doll doesn't try
to walk with the candy cane, and
break it off down crack in the
boardwalk, I'll tell you next about
Uncle Wiggily and the Christmas
cake.
