UNCLE WlGGILY'S WINTER WOOD

Uncle wiggily, the bunny rabbit
gentleman. was hopping alons
through Woodland. near the Orange
Ice Mountains one day, when he
happened to pass the house where
Grandfather Goosey CAM lived
Out In front was a large 10 OF corn
cobs, and Granpa Goosey, with the
help of Uncle Butter, the goat gen
tleman. was carrying the corn cobs
in bis cellar.
We'll, what are you doing?" ask
ed Uncle Wigsily, as he stopped and
Leaned on his red. white and blue
striped rheumatism erutch. Are
you going to have a lot OF play corn
cob houses for the animal boys and
girls. Grandpa Goosey?"
No, indeed" answered the old
gentleman goosie. who was, really,
a gander. Il am getting in my win
ter supply of cobs to burn in the
stove when the cold days come.
Corn cobs are the same as coal to
me. Have you put in your winter
wood yet, Uncle Wiggily?'
why. no, / haven't" said the rab-
bit gentleman. Il s'pose I'd better
see about It, too. The nights are
becoming quite frosty now. and even
with our fur coats Nurse Jane and
will not be able to keep warm

So Uncle WiggiIy hoped here.
there and everywhere. looking for
a lot of dried corn cobs TO put in his
cellar for the winter. But not a
corn cob could he hnd They had
all been bought by the other ami
mails OF the woods and fields.
You should have thought about
this earlier. Uncle WiggilY," said
Nurse Jane. when the bunny told
his muskrat lady housekeeper about
it. Il hope We shall not freeze this
winter"
Il hope not, myesIf." said the
bunny, and when he thought of such
thing happening. why. his pink
nose twinkled as though he were
shivering.
However. Uncle Wiggily did not
give up so easily. He started on
once more. making UP his mind that
somewhere he would get coal OF
corn cobs or something to burn in
the winter. over the fields and
through the forest he hoped, and
all of a sudden. he heard a noise
that sounded like:
"Haw! Haw! Haw"
Some one must be laughing.
though: Uncle Wiggily. II wonder
II they are laughing at me because
l forgot to put my winter wood in
early enough? will not be sc
foolish again"
Uncle Wiggily looked through
the trees and on the ground, moi
far off, he saw a lot OF large, black
birds. They were going:
"Haw, Haw! Haw" And some
times the sound appeared to be;
Cav. Cav! Caww
"Oh, they are crows. and they are
not laughing. They are cawing
and something seems to be the mat
ter" thought Uncle Wiggily.
Uncle Wiggily hoped a little
nearer to the flock of black crowI
on the ground, and then one OF the
large birds, named Mr.. Cav Cav
whom the bunny knew, piped W

WHAT Is SCHOOL AGE.

As the schools open many parents
are worrying as to their children's
ability to get through" About the
age of 10 we begin to realize that
the child is tagging a bit and we
insist upon more home study or
coaching to keep him in his grade.
The mistake is ours and not the
Childs. if we judge him by calendar
age rather than physiological age
1t Is the latter that should wholly
determine the studies and the com
panions of children after the tenth
year.
The basis for grading for play,
study and Companionship should be
based upon physical strength and
vitality and not upon ability to
spell or to remember dates. DIR. c.
Ward Champion, who has made in
tensive studies of the subject, ana
his findings have been pretty gen.
orally accepted, in Aliens "Civics
and Health" says that the present
high school curriculum is i'll adap-
led to a large proportion of the
children. The "psysiolOgiCally too
young" drop out; only the "physio-
logically mature" succeed
The two physiological ages should
Oe given dlHerent WORK. Children
whose bodies yearn for pictures,
muscular and sense expression
should be given a chance in school
for normal development. On the
other hand, the child that is too
frail to take all the physical train
ing of his more fully developed
companion should be able to elimi-
nate some of the exercises.
In ahdifiOO he
physical examination the teacher
and parent should be able to note
certain symptoms of fatigue in the
child and adjust the work to his
capacity. Anemic children should
be relieved of all anxiety as TO the
results of their efforts and only
SHORT hours of daylight work re-
quired of them.

Alison looked ahead at the dark

darker oblongs of woods, and here

SELF STARTERS AND OTHERS.

There are some people who are
self starters. There are others who
have to be cranked up In order To
make them go.
The most interesting and mystic
rious thing in the world is that
little quirk in the human brain
that gives to an individual the
ability to see even a tiny crack
open in the door OF opportunity,
and the initiative to get his toe
into it, and the strength and en-
ergy to push his way through. II
is what makes generals out of SOL
diers in the ranks, and merchant
princes out of office boys. and great
writers and actors out of boys and
girls who grow up on lonely farms
in remote places, where they have
none Of the so-caIled advantages Of
education.
Run over the list of people who
are doing the big things in the
world today, and you will hnd that
they are the people that one would
