UNCLE WIGGILY AND JACK
FROST.

ooh yum, yum! Something
smells most delicious! | wonder
what it is?" said Uncle Wiggily
one morning. The bunny rabbit
gentleman put down The Cabbage
Leaf newspaper he was reading
and went softly on tiptoe to the
kitchen where Nurse Jane Fuzzy
Wuzzy, his muskrat lady house,
keeper, was at work.
The reason Uncle Wiggily went
on tiptoe was because sometimes
Nurse Jane did not like him to
come out and watch her playing
tag among the dishes, or hide and
go seek with the gas stove.
But it smells as though she
might be cooking somthing good
to eat said Uncle Wiggily to him
self. "And If she is she might
want me to taste the chocolate
cake or lemon pie to see if it had
enough sugar spTnkled over the
top"
Softly Uncle Wiggily opened the
Kitchen door and as soon as
Nurse Jane saw him, she called:
Come on out, Wiggy, you are
just in time"
rs the cake baked?" asked the
bunny.

Jupiter rules strongly for good

This should be a planetary gov

ness.
There is a promising sign for
education and for educators of
every rank. Colleges will be espe-
cially prosperous during the com
ing year, which will bring special
benefits to women students.
Venus is in a place read as
preSaging uncertainty wherever
new voters have influence or pow
er The rule is supposed to make
women changeable, suspicious, and
not easily managed where group
action is desirable.
While the configuration seems
to forecast many benefits for the
mothers and daughters of families,
there is likely to be an unusual
tendency toward domestic dissen-
sions
Women are warned that the
seers prophesy for them great sue

They should be exceedingly wise
in avoiding unnecessary provoea-

Money continues to come much

prophesied that there may be al

Construction comes under the

There will be much building in

Many unusual fashions will be

be strong reaction toward mod

Surprises in political matters are
foreshadowed. Women will be sub

Bursum and welfare Work.

Editor Morning journal,
Albuquerque, N. M.
Dear Sir: Our attention has
been called to the following para.
graph which occurs in an editoria
entitled NH. Bursum and Legis-
lation" on the front page of an is
sue of the Morning Journal last
week: 8 .
ASK the women who sought
the enactment Of the health
and girl welfare legislation
whether Mr.. Bursum was not
the one whose approval had to
be obtained and that it was
easy sailing after he consented
to it,"
AS the undersigned were at the
time of the last Legislature mem
bers of the legislative committee of
the State Federation OF Women s
clubs and took an active part in the
work for the above mentioned leg
islation as well as for other welfare
and educational measures endorsed
by the state federation, the question
asked in the editorial has been re-
ItI1tu " Us anu we WISH 10 HllKt
the following statement
In the first place, it Is absolutely
untrue that there was any one man
whose approval had to be obtain
ed and that it was easy sailing after
he consented to it." Our task would
have been much easier if it had
been necessary to gain the appro-
val of only one man or only one set
of men. On the, contrary, we were
obliged to convince a large humber
of men, including the governor,
state officials and the majority OF
the members of the legislature. As
it was absolutely necessary that
these measures carry appropriate
tons, our principal work was
and properly with the
of the finance committees
of the legislature.
In the second place. we never
asked for the approval of Mr.. Bur
sum for these measures for the
very good reason that he was one
of us, working actively in support
Of this legislation. As he was at
that time president of the State
Health association. he was natur-
ally interested in the success of the

Uncle Wiggily, and he made such

floor.
"All right" spoke Nurse Jane.

| ing, Jack Frost has been around,
If he had not, my frost grapes
would not be good for lnaNing
jelly"
"Tn dress warmly" promised
the bunny rabbit gentleman, and
soon he was hopping and skipping
over the fields and through the
woods on his way to Grandpa
Goosey Gander's house.
No, hold on a moment, if you
please. I'm a bit wrong. Uncle
Wiggily didn't hop and skip this
time.e He went slowly, as he
was afraid of spilling the grape
juice.
Along and along he went, and
pretty soon all of a sudden, the
bunny rabbit gentleman heard
some one running along behind
him. At first Mr.. Longears thought
perhaps it might be Johnnie or
Billie Bushytail, one of the SPUR
rel boys, or even Sammie Little
tail, the rabbit, or Jimmie Wib-
blewobble, the duck. But it was
neither Instead it was the queer
old Fuzzy Fox, who sometimes
chased Uncle Wiggily.
But he shall not get me or
the grape juice this time" said the
bunny rabbit.
With that Uncle Wiggily
scrouched down behind a 'sussa-
fras bush. and hid there until the
Fuzzy Fox passed on, not seeing
the bunny rabbit gentleman.
"And now, l guess, i had better
hurry" said Uncle Wiggily. Il
don't want that Fox to nibble my
ears, and maybe drink all this NICE
grape juice. Yes. | must hurry."
Holding the pail of grape Juice
as carefully as he coCld, Uncie
Wiggily began to run, but he had
not gone very far before he
stubbed his foot against q stone.
He nearly fell, and, as he did so
the pail of grape iuica banged
up against sharp thorn bush, and
the bunny was scratched.
ouch! Oh, me! Oh. my" ciied
Uncle Wiggily, and then he felt
like water trickling
down his hind leg. He looked and
saw that the thorn bush had poked
a hole in his pail and a lot of the
grape juice was running out.
"Oh, this is quite too bad" cried |
Uncle Wiggily. IAN the nice grape
Juice that Nurse Jane sent TO
Goosey will soak in the
ground. / must hold my paw
over the hole in the pail"
The bunny did this, but then
he noticed another hole, out of |
which more grape juice was rum
ming.
"Pll have to hold my other paw |,
over that hole" said the bunny, |
and he did so.
Well that stopped two of the |
leaks, but when Uncle Wiggily saw
a third hole, out of which the |
purple juice was squirting, the rab-
DIT uncle sighed. ro-
at isn't any use" said Uncle
sadly. II only have four
paws. must hop on two of

holes in the pail. This third hole
S too much for me. oh dear!"
"Ha! What's the trouble?" sud
lenly asked a crisp, jolly voice,
md there, in front of Uncle Wig
,ily, stood funny little chan,
lressed in a bright red coat, with
fringe of white fur around the
,dges. whats the trouble, Uncle
asked this little chap.
"Oh, the thorns made holes in
