Il should hope nolr cried the
candy monkey. II don ;-n April
Fool candy. But Iho N~w kind is
so very stiff and sticky that, once
you bite down on it, you can't open
your mouth for some little time to
take another bite. That's why it
lasts so long"
Il see," said Uncle Wiggily. You
might give me a little for Nurse
Jane. She may like it."
So the monkey gentleman put on
top of the box some very extra
special sticky, stiff chewing candy
for Nurse Jane, and Uncle Wiggily
started for his hollow stump bunga-
low
He was thinking how pleased Miss
Fuzzy WuzZy would be when he
gave her the regular candy, and also
the chewing kind, when, all of Il
sudden, out from under the edge of
sassafras tree popped tho bad old
Squeedunkum. The Squeedunkum is
a very funny animal, like 4 lizard,
with a very big mouth and very
long whiskers like Santa Claus, only
he isn't as nice as Santa Claus, of
course.
Hi, there" cried the Squeeduu-
KUN to Uncle Wiggily, I'm after
your sOuse, and I'm glad to see you
have it all wrapped up for me. I'll
take it now" and before the bunny
gentleman could stop him the
Squeedunkum made a most impolite
grab for the bunch of chewing can
dy on top of the box Uncle Wiggily
had bought for Nurse Jane. As
quick a. wink the Squecdunkum
took the little extra package OF
chewing candy.
Hold on, there, if you please" B"
said Uncle Wiggily. That isn't my
sOusc! That is -"
oh, no! You cant fool me-"
hOwled the Squeedunkum. Il know
souse when l get it,"
With that he most impolitcly
popped into his big mouth and be-
gan to chew the whole bunch of
sticky candy. That is, he started to
chew. But once he had shut his
teeth on the sticky stuff he couldn't
oren his mouth again.
Ugh wugEle wump gurr gizz
wopple." cried the Squeedunkum.
Il beg your pardon. what did you
say" asked Uncle Wiggily, twin
king his pink nose.
"Wer WIZ gump, sax ump coop
ambleoop zip?' went on the bad
chap.
Really you must excuse me for
being so stupid. but I'm afraid l
don't know what you are saying"
spoke Uncle WigGily, trying hard
not to laugh. Please say it again"
The Squeedunkum tried hard to
open his mouth. but the chewing
candy held him fast. He managed
| to humble:
''Wassi zip, Gobibunk gizzi-izzi
/ zoo! Whee-ip"
Dear me-" said Uncle Wigeily.
You arc getting harder and harder
The Washington herald., 1920-10-02

Uncle wiggily had hoped over
the fields and through the woods
for many a mile, but he had found
no adventure that day. The Pipsise-
wah had not chased him, nor had
the SkeeZicks tried to get his Souse.
Dear me hum SUI dud and some
hayseed lOllypops, with cranberry
sauce on" said the rabbit gentle
man to himself as he leaned up
against a stone wall and twinkled
his pink nose. Isn't anything 60
ing to happen? Am 1 not to have
any adventure at all?"
Just then he shifted the air, Uncle
wiggily did, and he smelled some
thing very sweet, spicy and deli
cious.
81 wonder what that is?" he ask
ed himself. Then, peeking around
the corner of a rubber ball that
Johnnie Bushytail, the squirrel boy
had forgotten and left in the path,
Uncle Wiggily saw a candy mon
key coming down the road.
Oh, my no! I don't mean that a
monkey made of candy was walk
ing along. 1t was just a regular
Monkey, like Jacko or Jumpo
Kinkytail, except that this monkey
had a little wagon, on which he
made and sold candy. He had lit
tie oil stove on his wagon, and
there he boiled the sugar and spice
and other things nice, to make the
sweet candy.
ANY lollypops? Any gum drops?
Any taffy on a stick? Any Choco-
late caramels? Any bonbons to-
day." asked the candy monkey of
Uncle Wiggily.
Well, 1 don't know" spoke the
rabbit gentleman. slow like and
thoughtful. Il S'pose l might take
Nurse Jane a box of candy" he
went on.
SO you might" exclaimed the
monkey chap. TT would please
her. know. Does she like hard or
soft candy?" he asked as he looked
over the different boxes on his wag-
on, which had red wheels. ! mean
the wagon had red wheels, not the
candy.
Il guess she likes soft candy
said Uncle Wiggily.
Here you are! \ nice box of
soft candy for Miss Nurse Jane
Fuzzy WuzZy," spoke the candy
monkey, writing the name of the
muskrat lady housekeeper on a
card made of white birch bark. He
handed the box to Uncle Wiggily,
and then the monkey asked:
Does Nurse Jane like chewing
candy?"
Well, she always chews her can
dy. il that is what you mean" "
spoke the bunny rabbit gentleman,
giving his tall silk hat a little pol
ish with the end of his pink, twin
king nose.
Il didn't mean that. exactly"
spoke the monkey. But l have
here some very sticky chewing
candy. The animal boys and girls
like it because it lasts so long.
They can chew on it all day. nearly.
Only you want to be careful about
it"
Why asked Uncle wiggily.

 The Marquis of Townsend, although ne is an amiable and\ rather pathetic little gentleman, is anything but an inspiring husband for a young and imaginative woman. Ever since his birth (and he is now 5S years of age) he has been stunt ed little person with huge head and a small. rather fat, body. Although he has been shown to be more or less intelli- gent his appearance is anything but pre- possessing. So this very charming and brilliant young woman has lived TOT twelve years and more through the tor ture of what cannot be anything but loveless marriage. She has presented nm with two particularly beautiful and dls- tinctly intelligent children, boy who IS Viscount Raynham, and little girl.
 The Townshends have little money, al though when he attains his majority Lord Raynham will have considerable income, but Lady Townshend with intense per severance and energy has set about attempting to rehabilitate the famiiy Ior- tunes.

 AN IDLE TRUCK IS NOTHING BUT LOSS

The idle truck not only earns no pro- fits, but represents a steady loss. To obtain a maximum return on the invest
 ment a maximum of work must be pro- duced by the truck.
 Overhead expense, including deprecia- tion, interest on investment, insurance, garage charges, etc., is constant whether |the truck be on the road or in the repair
 shop. But when the truck is working this overhead expense is swelled by drivers wages, gasioine. oil and tire cost
 and similar items. It is obvious that accomplished, the more this cost is dis sipated Owners increasingly are giving their attention to methods or devices that re-
