towels and even the dish mop!

Uncle Wiggily lowered the paper

OF his hollow stump bungalow, as
he heard this talk from the kitchen
where Nurse Jane was busy.
There, now something else had
to falI!" exclaimed the muskrat
lady housekeeper. "Oh, dear!
What am l to do?"
Uncle Wiggily twinkled his pink
nose and got up from his chair.
That" he said, sounds to me
like trouble. had better see what's
the matter"
AS he went out into the kitchen
Nurse Jane was picking dish tow
els up off the floor.
Whats the matter, jamie ?"
asked Uncle Wiggily soft and gentle
like, for we'll he knew one must
speak that way when in a kitchen.
Natter" cried the muskrat
lady. 1.-THE matter is that every
thing seems to be falling to the
floor. My cloths and rags that l
put on chairs or the table get
knocked off so easily"
why don't you hang them up
on nails?" asked the rabbit gentle
man.
That's just it-why don't To-
repeated Nurse Jane. The time
the painter came to paint the
kitchen he took out all the nails
had to hang things on, and the
nails have never been put back
ooh, I'll drive some nails in the
kitchen walls for you to hane
things on" offered the bunny.

Uncle Wiggily went about thi'

he knew how it would hurt II th'
hammer should slip off the heat

Uncle Wiggily dkove two or three

of the language is concerned. group of young
people in a certain high school recently complained
that they we're spending all their time transating
difficult and obsolete Spanish, that they were not
conversing and that when their professor launched
forth in rapid and scholarly discussions of the
book they could get nothing from him.
On the other hand, an intimate conversation
with the laundress accustomed the ear and the
tongue to what was the first and prime object of
language namely conversation Mastery of read

piled into the car and drove to the
woods to pick blackberries, blue

berries. I canned these (the fol-
lowing Monday afternoon) instead
of buying boxes of these berries
from the grocer as l had previous
years. I feel that I have saved
quite a little money this summer MS
