saw that the buzzing sound was
caused by a hornet bee, who had
one leg caught fast in the crack of a
tree.
"oh, will some one please help
me get loose?" buzzed the hornet.
Yes, shall be most happy to set
you free" spoke Uncle Wiggily, and
he helped the hornet get his legs
free. Then the hornet thanked the
bunny gentleman and flew away.
Uncle Wiggily hoped on, and
soon he came to a large field where
he heard the shouts of many animal
boys. But something seemed to be
the matter.
we can't play now" someone
said.
mo. we can't have any fun"
sadly spoke a second.
Wasn't it too bad Johnnie had to
go lose the ball just when we wanted
to start to play! a third voice
chimed in.
That sounds like trouble" said
Uncle Wiggily. Il will see what's
the matter"
Then he caught sight of Johnnie
Bushytail and a lot of animal boys
from the hollow stump school.
What's the matter, boys?" asked
the bunny.
oh, we were going to have a
game with Johnnie's football" t"
answered Jackie Bow Wow, the
puppy dog boy, but when we came
out of school Johnnie gave the foot
ball such a kick that it sailed over
the trees and bushes, and now we
can't find it"
And we can't play the game that
was going to win" croaked Bully
the Frog.
No, there can't be any game"
sadly chartered Johnnie. That is,
unless Uncle Wiggily can find US a
football" added the squirrel boy,
hopeful like.
I'D like to oblige you," Uncle
Wiggily said. but really, boys, I
haven't the least idea where 1 could
! get, you a football now"
"Oh, Uncle Wiggily, perhaps I can
help. you" suddenly buzzed a voice,
and along few the hornet bee whom
the bunny gentleman had helped a
| little while before.
| Where could you get Johnnie a
football?" asked the bunny gentle
man, doubtful like.
why, he could take our old nest"
answered the buzzing insect. I'VE
hornets build a nest shaped exactly
like football. 1t is made of chewed
up wood pulp and mud and is very
strong"
"Oh, if we kicked a hornets nest
| football we'd all be stung" cried
Bully No Tail, the frog.
mo, you would not" said the hor-
net. We hornets are going South
and do not need our nest any more
We are going away for the summer
| The nest is empty and you may
have it. II you'll come I'll show you
where it hangs in a tree"
The hornet led Uncle Wiggily and
the boys to the empty nest. johnnie
climbed the tree, took the nest down
and it was as good a football as
heart could wish. Uncle Wiggily
| played, and kicked so hard thai
Johnnie's side won the game ant
everybody was happy.

Louise than any other influence.
Finally, in the 18th century,
Louise sprang into being and won
immediate popularity in France,
whose princesses took it every
where, including England through
an alliance with the House of
Hanover.
Louisa and Louie are English
forms. Louise, Luccete, Loulou and
Heloise are distinctly French.
Italy prefers Louisa or Eloisa,
likewise Spain. Germany calls 1t
Luise or Ludowicke, and Portugal,
Luiza. Sweden has a form, Ludo-
vica.
Louise's particular jewel is the
beryl. which is a talisman against
loss of finance or friends. Its
wsarer is assured amiability and
popularity. The stone has the
power to awaken love in married
people. Friday is her lucky day
and her lucky number.

laine, counting her fingers and
making love to her toes in the big

cooed and she called them both

Madelaine was born in May, 1919,
at Grady Hospital here. That same
night Mrs. Pittman and Mrs. Garner
bore daughters. In the morning the
nurses brought babies to them. Mrs.
Pittman received Madelaine and she
has always declared Madelaine her
daughter. Mrs. Garner received
Mary Elizabeth and declared it was
not her baby. Mary Elizabeth died
in three weeks and though the Gar
ners buried her. they refused to
claim her as their own.

Daniel Pittman and his wife are
blue-eyed and so are their three
little girls. John Garner and his
wife have brown eyes and so have
their children. Madelaine Louise is

Mrs. Pittman points out resem-

HOROSCOPE,
October 23, 1920.
October 20, 1920.

This is a sinister day, according
to astrology. Saturn, Jupiter and
the Sun are all in malefic aspect.
Selling is subject to fairly favor
able direction, but all speculation
should be avoided.
Under this rule encouragement Is
likely because OF a sense of being
easily thwarted which may oppress
persons who are pushing business
or other affairs.
1t is not a lucky or helpful plan
etary government for political can
didates.
Saturn is in a place that encour-
ages reactionary tendencies, and for
that reason forward-looking move
ments will suffer.
Jupiter seems to warn profess
sional men of various callings that
they will feel the burden of high
costs and heavy taxes to- serious
extent, owing to some condition that
will develop in the winter.
According to ancient lore, this
should be an exceptionally lucky
day for fishing.
A new immigration. problem is
forecast. Many women will come
to this country, and in some way
produce anxiety concerning indus
trial conditions.
Agriculture Is subject to an un-
favorable aspect of the stars today,
and all who till the soil should
conserve their energies.
Stock raisers may experience Sc
we're weather that will cause losses.
They should guard against the i'm
portation of a serious cattle disease.
Persons whose birthdate 1t is
should take care of their money and
avoid speculation.
Children born on this day may be
generous to excess and too care free
to succeed by hard work. Girls will
have eventful careers in all prob

What S in a Name?
By Mildred Marshall
LOUISE.

One of the most popular of fem
mime names in our country today
is Louise, which has the some
what formidable significance of
famous holiness" Originally. it
is derived from the Latin word
"laus," meaning praise. After pene-
trating several languages and be-
ing subjected to many influences,
including the Frankish one which
to carry it far afield from its
destiny, it emerged as Alloys in
France.
Charles II took the Provencal
name and changed it to Louis, be-
slowing it upon one of his younger
sons. the only one who lived to
succeed him. Provence, however,
continued to call the feminine of
the name Alloys, or Heloise. The
correspondence of "Heloise and
Abelard" was the particular theme
of sentiment to appeal to the
French heart, and the name of
Heloise was eternally established.
The wife of William Hallet, the
hero of .Bulwer's Harold" bore
the same name, though 1t was
spelled Hehilia or Helewise.
In this manner Louise. or rather
her various forms, was established
in the literature and language of
France. Its popularity waned for
a time. but once more. literature
brought it into vogue through
Rousseau's romance of La Nou-
velle Heloise." The votaresses of
st. Louis adopted his name, form
ing a feminine derivative and COM
ing closer to- the present day

UNCLE WIGGILY AND JOHNNIE'S FOOTBALL.

Hello, Uncle wiggily! How are
you? Can you kick pretty well?'
asked Johnnie Bushytail, the little
boy squirrel, one morning, as he ran
up on the porch Of the rabbit gentle
mans hollow stump and perched
himself atop of the railing.
What do you mean-kick pretty
weu?'' asked the bunny uncle. DO
YOU mean kick out with my hind
legs? can do that very well, in
deed, when 1 am running to get
away from a fox or a wolf-like
tris"
Uncle wiggily leaned on his red,
white and blue striped rheumatism
crutch and pulled his tall silk hat
down over his ears so they wouldn't
wiEgIe too much, or his hat come
off. Then he JwinkIed his pink nose
and kicked out with one leg.
"Oh, that's fine" chartered john
ME. You can play on my football
team all right, Uncle Wiggily: But
what is the matter?" asked the
squirrel boy, as he noticed queer
look on the face of the rabbit gen.
tleman.
"Oh. it's just a little rheumatism
pain" Uncle Wiggily answered. Il
kicked a bit too hard, and there was
nothing to stop my paw. l need
something to kick against"
"Oh, that will be all right when
you play on my team" said the
squirrel boy. You can kick against
the football then"
What's all this about your team
and a football?" asked Uncle Wig
gily. When are you going to
play?"
This afternoon when school is
out" answered Johnnie. Bully No
Tail, the frog boy, has one team, and
have another. Bully, and BaWley,
his brother, think because they are
such good jumpers that they can
play football better than my side.
But now, if you'll play with our fell
lows. wen show 'em!"
Hum! hope you will not be
disappointed in my playing" said
Uncle Wiggily, sort of slow and
careful like. Well, run along to
school now. Johnnie, and ISL be at
the football game this afternoon"
When Johnnie had scampered on
to the hollow stump school, taught
by the lady mouse, Uncle Wiggny
began kicking out with his two hind
legs, one after the other on his bun
galow porch.
We'll. Wiggie! Whatever are you
doing?" asked Nurse Jane Fuzzy
Wuzzy, as she came out.
oh, I'm just sort of exercising to
get rid of my rheumatism" laughed
the bunnyN Il mustn't tell Nurse
Jane I'm going to play football, or
she wouldn't let me-" thought Mr..
Longears to himself.
His muskrat lady housekeeper
looked anxiously after him, as he
went down the steps with his rheu-
matism crutch.
L do hope he isn't going to do
anything foolish" said Nurse Jane.
Uncle Wiggily hoped along and
along, and pretty soon he heard a
buzzing sound in the bushes. 1t was
a loud buzzing sound, too.
Dear me! I hope that isn't the
Fuzzy Fox who has fallen asleep
and is snoring" thought Uncle Wig
gily. Il had better be carefulr'

First of all. get it firmly fixed in
your mind that all the liniments in
the world have no effect whatever
on rheumatism.
Medical scientists differ as to the
causes of every form of rheumatism,
but agree that when caused by. a
tiny disease germ the only effective
method of treatment is to attack
the disease at its source, and cleanse
the blood of its cause.
A very common form of Rheuma-
tism is caused by millions of tiny
blood. The one and only sensible
treatment, therefore, % one which

Beware of Hocus-Pocus.

Almost every day someone pops
up in some part of the world with
a new and wonderfully fantastic
cure for the ills to which human
kind is heir. With almost the same
regularity others appear on the
horizon with new and unique
methods for diagnosing the same
human ills.
All these things make interesting
reading if they are taken, not too
seriously. A good formula to adopt
is laugh and grow fat"
The other day the cable brought
an interesting news item from Eu-
rope telling how a French physician
had discovered that by studying a
human beings handwriting 1t was
easy to find out whether said
human being was suffering from
disease of the stomach or a disor-
dered liver. We have long suspected
that a disordered liver was respon-

Seriously, it is not wise to take

needless trouble; 1t would save such
wearisome amount of shame.
But against the ptiless background
Of the war, self-destruction as means
of avoiding personal difficulties, self
caused, seemed curiously repellent-
curiously cheap.
No 1t was part of his own
grievance that Carol and the others
must grieve, too; he had dual re-
sponsibility to society. He had no
right to leave these matters clouded by
any uncertainty of motive. Syracuse
had n right to know the facts; and If
the facts brought pain to those he
loved, why, that was something he
should have thought about In June,
and not in November.
AS he chung comfortless to the last
slipping hours of the reputation he
had so carefully builded, he knew that
II wasn't the punishment of the law
that he dreaded, it was the ostracism
which would accompany 1t. 1t wasn't
his own shame which gripped him, 1T
was the consciousness of the shame
which would attach to his friends.
And so, for day or two, all his fac
ulties were strung upon the attitude
of the public toward him; he was
watching frantically for the first signs
of adverse demeanor, and bracing him
self for the shock which was unavoid-
ably to come. For secrets will out.
and although he had no reason to ex-
pect Warning to break his pledge, he
knew that when rumor smolders

comes-there always comes-a mo-
ment in which 1t bursts forth In spon-
taneous combustion.
Presently he sensed subtle super
charging Of the atmosphere whenever

bankers was suddenly less informal,
more impersonal; he perceived, with a
sinking spasm of foreboding, that

SPIDERS THREAD HAS VALUE

Astronomer.

The threads Of the garden spider
are fixed by astronomers In their tele-
scopes for the purpose Of giving fine
lines to the field of view, by which

For century astronomers desired
to make use Of such lines Of the great
est possible fineness, and procured at
first silver wire drawn out to the ex-
IRENE limit of tenuity attainable with
that metal They also tried hairs
1-5OOth of an inch thick and threads
of the silkworm's cocoon, which are
split into two component threads,
each only 1-20Oth of an inch thick. But
in 1920 an English Observation-Disclosures
named Throughton introduced the
spiders line. This can be readily OBJ
tanned three or four times smaller
than the silkworm's thread, and has
also advantages in its strength and
