UNCLE WIGGILY AND THE
FLICKER.
(By Howard II. Garis.)


When Nurse Jane Fuzzy Wuzzy,
the muskrat lady housekeeper,
came downstairs in the hollow
stump bungalow one morning, she
saw Uncle Wiggily Longears, the
bunny rabbit gentleman, filling his
tall silk hat with bread crumbs
Mercy me. sakes alive and
some turnip flopovers!" cried Miss
Fuzzy Wuzzy. holding UP her paws.
What are you doing. Wiggy?"
well, I'm not making a bread
pudding, as YOU might think" the
bunny gentleman answered with a
smile that made his pink nose
| twinkle like a gold fish on a
Christmas tree. But / am taking
some crumbs out to feed the hun
CRY birds. You see they may have
! no Christmas dinner If some one
fdpcs not feed them"
you are very kind and good to
think of the birds" spoke Miss
Fuzzy WuZ2y, land you may have
all the bread crumbs you like. And
some cake crumbs, also
So Uncle Wiggily filled his tall
silk hat with bread and cake
crumbs and started out over the
fields and through the woods to
look for hungry birds.
And as the old rabbit gentle
man hoped along he saw Sammie
and Susie Littletail, the rabbits
and Johnnie and Billie Bushytail,
the squirrels, skipping over the
snow on their way to the hollow
stump school
Merry Christmas, Uncle Wig
gily," chartered the squirrels.
"Oh. you are bit early"
laughed the bunny. But your wish
is none the less welcome. | hope
you may have fine Christmas
tree and that your stockings will
be filled to the brim."
Thank YOU" said Susie, and
then she and the other animal
children hoped along, and Uncle
Wiggily kept up his search for
hungry birds. He found them,
too.
He met Bob White, the Quail;
Mr.. Screecher, the good Owl; some
Wood Ducks and a Spotted Sand
piper--all friends Of the bunny
gentleman.
Then, all of a sudden, as Uncle
Wiggily was passing big tree
that had hole in one side he
saw something like a little piece
Of red flannel suddenly thrust out
of the hole and then pulled back
again.
"Ha, wonder if that was Red
Cap, my Ruby Crowned Kinglet
bird friend?" said the bunny. But
at once a voice answered, saying:
NO, am not Kingfet, l am a
Flicker" Then a bird with brown
head and with patch of red
feathers on its topfvHot, perched
himself on the edge of the hole.
Uncle Wiggily also saw that the
bird, who had said his name was
Flicker" had a long, sharp beak.

off his tall silk hat, he gave the
Flicker Woodpecker some crumbs

stepped the bad old Black Bushy

suddenly.

out of his nest hole. He had duck

came along. Let me help you
the bird went on. u am very
quick. No you see me and now you
DON'T" he said, and into the hole
he popped.
Where are your" cried the
Bear all fused up like.

you cam" called the bird.
Out Of his hole he flickered,
but when the Bear tried to move
his head quickly to look. the bird
popped inside the tree again, say
ing:
Nov you see me! Now you
don'tr'
Give me another chancew cried
the Bear, who was getting angry.
Out popped the Flicker again.
Now YOU see met" he cried,
but when the slow moving Bear
looked, the bird was gone. But
our he popped again, and he kept
doing this, making the Bear look
first this way and then that SO
last that finally the bears neck
was all twisted out of shape.
There the bad Bushy Bear chap
stood, his head all wobbled over
crooked, and ont popped the
Flicker again.
"Now's your chance. Uncle Wig
gily! Run" cried the bird. "The
Bear is looking so crooked he
can't see to chase you!" So Uncle
Wiggily ran and when the Bear
tried to chase him the bad bushy
animal bunked his nose into a
tree and cried "Ouch!"

AN OPEN BREAK.

Just the first assembly of the League of
Nations was about to be adjourned strident
note of discord interpoated into the inter-
national symphony, when British and French men,
bers of the council openly declared that they would
not consider themselves bound by the acts of the
outgoing assembly "or any other assembly"
Such a situation has not been entirely unex-
pected by observers of what has been going at
Geneva. From the very outset, it was clear that
the delegates regarded the council suspicously
ogarchical, while the members of the council be-
lieved that the assembly was encroaching upon
the councils jurisdiction. The defiant statements
made by Mr. Balfour and M. Bourgeois merely
gave utteTance to this undercurrent of feeling be-
tween the two bodies.
This unfortunate denouement however, does
not mean that the theory of a league of nations is
fallacious. 1t does emphasize however the neces-
sity of sweeping changes in the covenant, so that
there may be doubt to to the precise func-
tons of each of the two deberative bodies that
make up the working machinery of the league. A
mere question of jurisdiction should not defeat the
great, humanitarian purposes of an association of
nations.
In bold relief against this background of con-
tentousnesS stands the recent adoption of statute
for an international of justice. This, az
least, has been forward step in constructive
world craftsmanship.
Apparently the first function of such a court
would be the Interpretation of the covenant itself

MATELESS WOMEN WAIT
TO GRAB U.S.. TOURISTS
Millions in Europe Left Without
Husbands-Eager to Greet
American Bachelors.

PARIS, March 26.-Many dangers
threaten the American tourist who
would visit Europe. Floating mines
is one. but only secondary. The most
dangerous awaits the tourist on Eu-
ropean soil. That is the man hunt.
Millions of European women are
left husbandless by the war; and IL
they can seek their mates among the
tourists to come, they arc going to
do so.
They are hoping that the number
of bachelors among the tourists will
be large one, but II not, who knows
whether marriage will stop them.
Polygsmy has frequently been sug-
gested as a remedy for the destruc-
tion of men, but American women
would undoubtedly prefer polygamy
to be exercised by European men in
stead of losning their husbands to the
husbandless European sister. But
whatever the solution, travellers in
Europe had better be prepared for at
tacks as difficult TO resist as the
hercest battles OF the war.

flat failure, as Mrs. William Econo-

pared to testify. Soon after her mar
riage Mrs. Economo says her husband
made out a working timetable for
the household.
For instance. Mrs. Economo was to

minutes, prepare breakfast and eat
same in twenty minutes. Then Econo-
mo went to work, but the time table
continued throughout the day.
Mr.. Economo was great believer
in economy, his wife said, and he in
sisted on making all the children's
dresses and his wife,s niahtgowns. He
thought he could cut the cloth more
economically than she could The last
straw came when Economo revised"
the timetable by cutting out the
morning wash, and substituting
