UNCLE WIGGILY AND SANiMiE'S PAWS.

One day, when Uncle Wiggily
Longears was hopping along a path
in the woods not far from the hol-
low stump school, where the lady
mouse taught the animal children,
the bunny rabbit gentleman heard
rustling IN the bushes.
~ hope that isn't the bad Snoopy
coming after me. ITO smell or nibble
my souse." thought Uncle Wiggily.
This time i have no clothes pins
to clamp over his eyes, nose and
mouth. 1 really hope he isn't COM
ing"
The rustling grew louder and
then. all al once. out from the
bushes popped a rabbit boy.
''Oh, Sammie Littletail, I'm so
glad it is you!" said Uncle wtggily.
II thought it might be the bad
snoopy. But what's the matter,
Sammie?" asked Uncle wiggi1y. as
he saw the rabbit boy looking
rather sad. Has anything hap
pened? Were you kept in after

went on. sitting up on his hind legs
and holding out his front paws.
They can't hold a piece of chalk
as well as the paws Of johnnie

said Sammie.
Nonsense" laughed Uncle Wig

with me, Sammie. and perhaps
you'll see why we rabbit folk have

with"
I'D rather have almost any kind

Sammie. IF I had claws like Ned

Uncle Wiggily. You're welcome
to some of that. Sammie. So come
take a walk with me.
The little rabbit boy walked on
beside Uncle W!.Sily, but through
the bunny gentleman twinkled hts
pink nose and sang funny songs,
Sammie was not happy.
All of a sudden. as they were
hopping along. there sounded an
other rustling noise in the bushes.
Come on! Quick, Sammle,-
called Uncle WiCgily. That may
be the Pipsisewah or Skeezicks,"
The rabbit boy ran as fast as
he could after the bunny uncle

THE BLOW,

The new home was finally COM
pleted-
Alison had made no more shopping
trips in the company of others. She
had gone only with Larry, and each
article of furniture, each rug and
drapery and bit of pottery repre-
sented their combined taste.
When everything was finally in
order, Alison stood in the doorway
and surveyed her work with pride.
The vision which had risen in her
fertile imagination when she had
first visited the half-fnished apart
ment had materialized. The crisp
curtains, the rose shaded lamp, the
comfortable chaise lounge-every
detail was faithfully reproduced.
Larry, lounging on the broad
window seat, through whose open
easement the warm autumn sunlight
shone, looked around with mascu-
line pride of possession.
Il say, Alison, 1 think we had
better have the families up. The
matters getting a bit sore that we
haven't asked her before. and Jane,
remember, prides herself on her
household hints to others
We'll. my mother hasn't been up

He laughed.
That's a funny one from you. So
far as I can see YOU are just what
your mother and Barbara wales
say you can be-
And you are just what your
mother and Jane Wardwen say you
can be-" retorted Alison
He reached out lazy arm to draw
her to him, but she eluded him
deftly.
What a little spitfre it is these
days! Did some rude man stroke
her pretty fur the wrong way"
Alison stood quite still and look
cd at him: the frown on her piquant
face was replaced by a look of grav-
ity.

a little afraid of myself What has
come over me of late? I never used

Wife Yielded Pitcher on Mans
Head, She Testyies, So Innocent
Onlooker Is Freed of Assault Charge

Augustus Diggs, who lives at SO
Canal street southwest, has had two
distinct shocks, one physical, the
other mental, within the past two
days.
The first came Thursday when he
was struck on the head with a
water pitcher, after he had charac-
terized visitors he found in his
home as buns and loafers."
The second came yesterday, in
police court, when his wife proudly
admitted she was the one who had
struck him.
Diggs thought the pitcher was
welded by Roger Epps, one of the
Objectionable visitors. The latter
had seemed especially peeved over
being called a bum" Diggs, ac-
cordingly, had him arrested charged
with assault.
Then came the denouement.

The Head Nurse
SdyS:
EAT WHOLE WHEAT.


For many years we have known
that a sluggish intestinal tract
could be stimulated by the use Of
whole wheat bread, now we find
that it mas an additional food value
because the outer part of the wheat
grain contains that class of life
giving substance known as vitamins.
While vitamins have not been so
exactly classified as have some of
the other foods, we know them gem
orally as the live" foods and they
are to be found in all the uncooked
greens, the sallds, in unpolishe I'd
rice, and in potatoes with the jack
cts on, in butter and in milk.
1t has been said that the woma n
who plans the table has the max
ing of the bodies of the family. 50
in the average household of white
bread, meat and coffee diet, it is
evident that the bodies of the mem
bers of the family are going to be
old before their time; they will be
open to gout, rheumatism and
chronic constipation.
A health fad has just been sweep
ing the country in which the eating
of yeast for the sake of the Vita
minis it contains has been the chief
feature. 1t is claimed by its ad-
vocates to be most beneficial. On
the face of. it, il it is only for the
vitamins, it would be much pleas
.anter to get our food principles
through an attractive menu than to
go about nibbling at a pocket fun
of yeast cakes.
1t Is much easier to get the indi-
viduals who sit at your table to eat
properly by placing the proper food
before them, than it is to convinc :
them by abstract argument. So arr
range balanced menu and health
must follow.
