POEMS YOU SHOULD KNOW
EMBERS.

The fitful flickers from the embers start
The embers in the ashes Of my heart
Gray ashes of the flame that is more,
What epic passions burned you to the core?
Ashes stir you softly In my breast,
Search the red Goals and rake them from the rest;
hoard them in heap and try to blow
The sudden glimmer to leaping glow.
The embers whiten and refuse the flame,
Red glory that never may reclaim
All memory, 1 shiver in the night
You, too, desert me with the lost delight.
John Myers O'Hara.

gilyl" exclaimed Baby Bunty. ''He
can't carry the stove pipe and the
turnips; he says so himself. But
I'll let him take one of my roller
skates. He can tie the round
black stove pipe on my skate and
pull 1t along on the wheels. And
can help him carry the turnips."
80 you can, Baby Bunty!"
laughed the old rabbit gentleman.
Murray! It's all right now, Nurse
Jane. I'll take your stove pipe and
have 1t mended, and at the same
time take the turnips to Mrs. Bow
Wow. Come along, Baby Bunty."
The little rabbit girl FASTENED to
get her roller skate and soon. with
the stove pipe tied on this, and
carrying the basket of hard, round
red and white turnips, Uncle Wig
gily and Baby Bunty started off
over the fields and through the
woods.
1.-THE stove pipe looks just like a
Fourth of July cannon, doesn't it,
Uncle Wiggily?" asked Baby Bunty
as she hoped along.
Eyes answered Mr.. Longears, at
does, for cannon are round and
black and have a big hole for the
cannon balls to come out"
"And we can make believe the
turnips are cannon balls" went
on Baby Bunty.
Eyes" agreed Mr.. Longears
"but we won't have to pretend any
thing like that"
On and on, over the fields and
through the woods went Uncle Wig
gily and Baby Bunty, the little rab-
bit girl running on ahead. All Of
a sudden, as she ran UP little
hill she stopped, and then she
came hurrying back to the bunny
gentleman.
"Oh, Uncle Wiggily!" gasped
Baby Bunty. what you Think
"What?" asked Uncle Wiggily.
Down at the bottom of the hill"
went on Baby Bunty, 'are the old
Fuzzy Fox and the Woozie Wolf.
They're waiting there to catch us!"
Uncle Wiggilv looked over the
top Of the hill. Surely enough,
there sat the Fox and Wolf.
"Dear mel" said the rabbit gen.
tleman. "This is too bad! I Won
der how we can make them go
away so we may hop on to the
plumbers with the stove pipe and
to Mrs. Bow Vows with the tur-
nips I wonder how?"
II know" suddenly whispered
Baby Bunty. IT said, a while ago,
that the stove pipe looked like a
cannon. Now, let's make believe
it Is, and shoot the turnip cannon
balls through 1t at the bad Fox and
Wolf"
THAT'S good ideal" said Uncle
Wiggily. The stove pipe cannon,
on the roller skate wheels, was
hauled to the top of the hill, the
black mouth pointing at the Fox
and Wolf. Then Uncle Wiggily
and Baby Bunty, taking turnips,
threw them through the black hole
of the stove pipe like cannon balls.
Out shot the hard, round turnips'
banging the Fox and Wolf on their
noses and heads.
Wow! Wow!" fowled the bad
animals, as the turnip cannon balls
hit them. Some one is shooting
us! I guess we'd better run and
not wait here any longer for Uncle
Wiggily. Wow! Wow!"
Then away they ran, and Baby
lBunty laughed like anything. Then
| she and Uncle Wiggily went safely
down the hill. picked UP the turnlps

who made them into ice cream. The
