UNCLE WIGGILY
The Story of the Fun Skate
By HOWARD X. CARS
By HOWARD X. CARS

on, could not, as yet, very well tell
what il was he had found. We'll,
Sammie," he went on, "see IL you
can find out what it's for, while I
hope on ahead TO look for some car
rots."
So the bunny uncle hoped away,
leaving Sammie with the old roller
skate. Mr.. Longears went slowly
along singing a little song about a
boy who found a poor. hungry dog.
and took it home TO live with him.
And one day the boy fell into a
pond and the dog pulled him out.
Which goes to show that every
good act is paid for somehow"
thought the bunny gentleman. IF
ne had not fed the hungry dog, the
boy might have been left in the wa
ter too long and have taken cold"
At last Uncle Wiggily reached a
carrot field, and, having pulled a
paw full Of the yellow vegetables,
he started back with them. AS he
reached the place where he had left
Sammie. Mr.. Longears saw the lit
tie rabbit boy sitting on the old
roller skate, and pushing himself
along the ground by means Of a
stick.
"All aboard" cried Sammie.
Train leaves in one minute. Next
station Mount Chocolate Candy"
Wait! I'll take a rid with you
laughed Uncle Wiggily. Putting the
carrots on the skate, the rabbit gem
tleman hoped up beside Sammie,
for the skate was an extra large. one.
"Oh, goodie!" cried Sammie when
he saw the carrots. Now we can
have a picnic! Wen go off on a
trip. Let me take your crutch for
a pusher." Using the bunny's red,
white and blue rheumatism crutch,
instead of the stick he had picked up
in the woods, Sammie sent the skate
along very fast. They had a won
derful time. They would eat a car
rot, go a little farther and then eat
another carrot.
All at once Uncle Wiggily called:
"Oh, Sammiel There's your sis
ter" And, surely enough, down the
TOdus dCIOSS q DI4Obt was OuoAts 1 I'll
ming away from the Fuzzy Fox.
Wen have to save her. Sammiel"
cried Uncle Wiggily. Give me my
crutch to push with and you get
yourself a stick. We must save
Susie!"
Faster and faster the two rabbits
pushed themselves along on the
,.offo, -1-a+o C,,sfa esur tbov,, coy,i,, o.
and, turning. ran toward them. The
Fox turned and ran after her,
crashing his teeth. All at once the
roller skate reached the bridge. You
know what a loud noise an automo-
bile makes going over a bridge.
Well, that's just what the skate did.
Bum ble-umble-b oom!" it sounded.
The Fox heard the rumbling noise,
but he didn't see Uncle Wiggily and
Sammie on the skate, as they hid be-
hind the carrots.
ooh, MY" howled the Fox. IT'S
laundering: It's going 70 rain and
have left all the windows In my
house open! I'll run home and catch
Susie some other time!" So he
turned back and ran away, leaving
the rabbit girl safe.
"Oh, how glad L am you came
along" said Susie when she saw her
brother and the bunny uncle. And
they were glad, too.
And, If the bicycle wheel doesn' t
get so tangled up with the tire that
il loses it's spokes and can't walk, I'll
tell you next about Uncle Wiggily
and the hungry bird.

LAST PROGRAM
 oE CHAUTAUQUA GREAT SUCCESS
Old Fashioned Girls Repeat Hit - Splendid Lecture
 Given by Dr. Evans.

The attendance at the Coliseum Theater last night was the largest of the Chautauqua season The closing program. like the opening. was pre- scented by the "Old Fashioned Girls in their quaint costumes ard old songs and music, and D. Arthur Naiwyn Evans in his great lecture, Let There Be Light"
 The "Old Fashioned Girls were given particularly enthusiastic re cepton on their final appearance, and their numbers were followed by many encores.
 Dr. Evans. as III uis lecture on Democracy covered very wide range. His main theme was the need for better and more general educa- ton, the necessity to make more peo- pie able to think. He arraigned the people for not paying higher salaries to teachers in the public schools so that better educated and more capa- ble men and women could be secured to instruct the youth of the land. He contended that there is too much slip-shod work and too little disci pline in the schools of the United States, and that too many of our youth leave the grade and high schools without the right sort of foundation on which to support a college course. He said Americans were careless in the use of language He argued also. that more attention should be devoted to character bui,i- ing and thorough instruction in pa triotism, not the patriotism of hieh sounding words, but that 5or. which causes people to respect govarlmel. and law and order, that breeI5 self The lecture was gr7 shc anu incisive, yet the criticisms werr good natured and constructive and by stories and critic.-ms

 In sentencing Dolzadelli to pay q fine of 5000 and serve three moat hs in jail. Judge LeFevre said that mas much as Dolzadelli had been in he soft drink business in Juneau for a considera ble length of time he could fact that it was the first offense. Judge LeFeyre also stated that in he future. men engaged in the soft drink business in Juneau, convicted of violations of the Alaska bone dry law, could consider that the sentence given to Dolzadelli would be he minimum handed out and might be more
 In the case of Baker, the jury re- commended clemency. Under these circumstances Judge LeFevre made the fine lighter. He took occasion to lecture Baker for his part. It seemed that Baker entered the army at the age of IS years and was 22 months in France during the war days. He was at Fort William H Seward until short time ago, when he secured his discharge on account, of the new order reducing the strength of the army His experi ences in Juneau are his first in civil- ian life and the judge admonshed him to avoid similar ones in the flu ture.
