So he stretched out in the easy
chair to warm his pink twinkling
nose and went to sleep, while Nurse
Jane hoped away from the hollow
stump bungalow to call on Mrs.
Flufftail.
While Uncle Wiggily was asleep
along came Billie and Johnnie
Busytail, the two squirrel boys.
They were going to ring the bell
and ask for the celery for their
mother when Johnnie happened to
see that the door was not tightly
shut. 1t was open a crack.
ct guess Uncle Wiggily must
have left the door open for us so
we could walk in without making
him answer when we rang" chat
tered Johnnie.
Il guess So" agreed Billie.
"Well walk right in and ask for
the celery"
But Uncle Wiggily had not left
the door open. Nurse Jane had for
gotten to shut it when she left.
Well, anyhow, in walked the two
squirrel boys, and the first thing
they saw was Uncle Wiggily asleep
in the easy chair. Then they went
softly out to the kitchen, so as
not to awaken him, and on a
chair they saw the celery stalks
and leaves.
HE left it here for us to take"
said Billie. I'VE can do that and
go out without waking him up.
Let's do it"
"All right" agreed Johnnie. "But
let's cut off the top leaves of the
celery stalks. They aren't any
good, and if we trim them off it
will be easier to carry"
Right you are" whispered Bill
lie. And l know what We can do
with the celery leaves"
"What?" asked Johnnie.
I'VE can tie them under Uncle
Wiggily's chin and it will make
him look as if he had whiskers,"
said Billie, trying not to laugh.
Lets fasten the celery leaves UNI
der Uncle Wiggily's chin. while he's
asleep, and when he wakes up and
looks at himself in the glass he'll
think he has grown d beard, and
he'll be so surprised"

THE UP-TO-DATE WEDDING
SHOWER.

A few years ago the participants
in bridal shower simply brought
their various gifts and gave them
to the bride to-be. Today there
is an effort to present the gifts in
some distinctly original way. "DO
help me out with suggestions for
wedding shower" says dozens Of
letters ! receive from my read
crs. IT Is 50 hard to think how
to give the gifts to the bride. |
am giving a shower to a friend
and | want it to be different from
any other shower she has ever
heard Of"
In reply to these letters ] al
ways outline some such plan as
the following (Which is original
with me)
Invite the unsuspecting bride-to-
be to your home for a cup of tea
at o'clock in the afternoon
Have all the girls who are to take
part in the shower drop in at
different times, apparently on
chance, until all have arrived
After the first one or two have
come, the bride-gaest will Of
course begin to suspect that her
friends have been invited to come
and have not merely happened to
drop in so for this reason the
other guests may come in a body
after the first few have arrived,
Before coming, the guests have
all left their gifts for the bride at
the nearby home of some friend,
A small boy must be hired to make
as many trips from the house
where the gifts were left to the
house of the hostess, as there are

"Thatll be lots of fun and ii
won't hurt anybody" chartered
Johnnie. "We'll do it,
SO the squirrel boys did this,
fastening the celery IL. Ter the bum

Of whiskers. And :hev aid it SO
softly and gently that unc'o Wig
ei!y never opened his eyes. Then
Johnnie and Billie, taking the
white celery stalks, went on tip
toe out of the hollow stump bun
galow.
Wont he laugh when he wakes
up" chuckled Billie.
"Oh, l should say he would!''
giggled Johnnie.
Uncle Wiggily slept on, with the
fringe of celery leaves for whis-
kers beneath his chin. And all of a
sudden, the Fuzzy Fox pushed
open the front door of the hollow
stump bungalow and walked in.
The squirrel boys had also forgot
ten to shut the door tightly.
"Ah, ha! Here is where get I'm
Gle Wiggily!" said the Fuzzy Fox to
himself as he walked on tiptoe
through the hall and into the room
where the bunny slept. And then
the Fuzzy Fox knocked down an
umbrella, and it fell to the floor
with a bang.
Whats that? What's that 2"
cried Uncle Wiggily, suddenly
awakening. as that you, Johnnie
and Billie, after the celery?"
Uncle Wiggily jumped from his
chair and saw the Fuzzy Fox. And
at the same time the Fuzzy Fox
saw Uncle Wiggily. But when the
bad Fox saw the fringe of whiskers
on the bunny (not knowing they
were only celery leaves) the bad
fox gave howl and cried
"Oh, l made a mistake! This isn't
Uncle Wiggily at all. It's an old
great-great- grandfather rabbit, as
tough as boiled owl! He'll never
do for mel"
And then, not knowing it was
Uncle Wiggily Con account of the
celery whiskers) away ran the fox,
not hurting the bunny at all.
Dear me! What's the matter %
asked Uncle Wiggily of himself. Il
feel strange" Then he looked at
himself in the glass. and when he
saw the celery whiskers Johnnie
and Billie Lad tied on his chin he
laughed like anything.
Thus everything turned out hap
PLY, you see. And if the gold
handled umbrella doesn't try to
stand on its head in the snow
storm and make the teakettle

Gle Wiggily and the cranberries.

IGNACIO C. SANCHEZ.
Spanish Descendant Criticises Lar
raZolO.


Fort Sumner, N. NJ, July 81. 1920
Editor Morning Journal:
/ refer to your comment con-
tanned in your issue of July 26,
upon Mr.. Larrazolo's announcement
as a candidate for reelection to
the office of governor of New
Mexico at the fall election.
Your remarks, apparently, are
directed to certain prominent re-
publicans whom you claim are OPP
posing Mr.. Larrazolo, but | be-
lieve it is your desire to have an
expression from any citizen of New
Mexico who does not favor Mr.
Larrazolo's candidacy for governor
of this state, and who may wish TO
express his views. / am writing
not as a republican leader, or
would-be leader, nor as a repre-
sentative Of the democratic party,
or any party whatsoever, nor as an
office seeker but as a plain Span
ish American citizen of New Mex
ico-a direct descendant of Fer
nando de Chavez, who came to New
Mexico with de Vargas in 1892,
and one who is in favor of anything
that will bring prosperity and hap
piness to the inhabitants of New
Mexico and the world.
l take exceptions to your re-
marks, contained in the second
paragraph of your editorial above
referred to as follows:
"Mr. LarraZolo has added a new
factor to his cause. His defeat for
denomination means a body blow
to the program which he proposes
to carry through"
From your standpoint of view
ii would appear that Senior LARA
zolo is an Indispensable acquisition,
and to use the story expression is
1.-The only pebble on the beach,
he is the only man in New Mexico
that stands for reforms, such as
Senior Larrazolo outlines in his
propaganda write-up, and the only
man in New Mexico who could sue
cessfully bring forth results along
the lines referred to by him.
am not particularly fighting
Mr.. LarraZolo. Personally, l am
not acquainted with the gentleman,
but as he has been q politician in
New Mexico for many years
know of him. If my memory serves
me right, l listened to one of his
talks at Roswell some twenty
odd years ago when he was can
wasting the country as a candidate
for some office, possibly delegate
to congress-those being territorial
days. Mr.. Larrazolo was then a
democrat; / understand he is now
a republican. Some say that he
sought an office with the demo-
cratic party for many years, and
that seeing he could not get any
thing there, joined the republicans
with which party he hoped to be
more successful. l do not know
whether this is true or not, but the
fact remains that he was then an
avowed democrat and ne is now
governor Of New Mexico, elected on
a republican ticket.
In way, Mr., Lafrazolo, | be-
iieve, is competent; he has MASTER

When l send out the cards

prise"
"Tn do both" I told her, "And
/ hope you will be very happy"
81 am sure I shall. We are
neither of us children you know"
After she left l thought over
what she said about Mabel Hor-
ton. To me there was something
sinister in the fact that no one
had ever told me she was a d.
vorced woman. Evidently it was
no secret in Glendale; why had no
one mentioned it to me, not even
Muriel?

FEELS JUSTIFIED TN
LARRAH0E0 ATTITUDE

November "a, 1920.
Editor Morning journal,
Under date of July 81 last past
as l was passing through Fort
Sumner, en- route to the salt lake
in the Estancia valley, and upon
reading your editorial in reference
to Sr. Larrazolo's announcement as
a candidate for reelection to the
office of governor of New MeXico
for the ensuing term, | sent you a
communication expressing m
views relative thereto. l have been
Informed that many persons, pre-
sumably friends and supporters OF
ST. Larrazolo considered my re-
marks as unjust and uncalled for
criticism of Mr.. Larrazolo; some
going so far as to say, ] was told
that they believed ] had been paid
large sum of money by corpora
ton interests for expressing myself
as did.
Nearly four months have elapsed
since you published my communi-
cation, above referred to-; election
is over, and Sr. Larrazolo has made
further record as governor of the
state.
Standing in the shadow of the
past, permit me, through your col
umns, to suggest such persons as
deemed me conclusiyely that they
reconsider the matter For ready
reference l quote my communica-
ton to you of July 31st;
