UNCLE WIGGILY AND THE
GRINDIE INDIE.

Hello, Billie Bushytail! Want
to come and take a walk with
me ?" called Uncle Wiggily to the
little squirrel boy one morning.
"Oh, Uncle Wiggily! I'd like to
very much" Billie chartered in
answer. But 1 have to go to the
five and ten cent store for my
mother and then l have to hurry
to school. l will have no time to
walk with you this morning"
mo l guess you have not" the
bunny gentleman replied. Il think
perhaps I'd better hop along
with you as you go to the store.
What are you going to get, Bill
lie?"
"a grindie indie" said the
squirrel chap.
"A grindie indie" exclaimed
the bunny rabbit gentleman.
What in the world is a grindie
indie? Sounds like puzzle pic
ture to mel"
Billie Bushytail laughed, show
ing his white teeth that he used
for gnawing nuts.
"A grindie indie isn't a puz-
zle!" said the squirrel boy. You
have one at your hollow stump
bungalow"
II have a grindie indie?" ask
ed Uncle Wiggily. Nonsense! l
never heard Of such a funny
thing!"
well, Nurse Jane has one, at
any rate!" spoke the squirrel boy
and he smiled to see what q
queer look was on Uncle Wig
gily's face.
"If Nurse Jane has a grindie
indie she never told me about it!'
declared the bunny rabbit gem
tleman. II would like very much
to see what 1t Is"
"I'll show you" said Billie.
I'm going to the five and ten
cent store to get one for my
mother. Ours is broken and we
need new one. II you'll come
with me, Uncle Wiggily, I'll show
you"
Uncle Wiggily thought this
would be a fine idea, so he hop
ped along with the squirrel boy
who, now and then, scampered
up in the trees to see II any nuts
were ripe. But Billie soon came
down again, for this was summer;
and nuts are not ripe until fall,
you know.
Pretty soon Uncle Wiggily and
Billie reached the five and ten
cent store, and the squirrel boy,
scampering on ahead, ran in to
buy the grindie indie. as he call
ed 1t.
Billie came out with 1t wrapped
in paper, and said:
"Come on, Uncle Wiggily. Well
take a short cut through the
woods. so l can reach the hollow
stump school. That will bring
you to the path that leads back
to my house, and you can take
the grindie indie to my mother
and tell her I've gone to school"
But what Is this funny grindie
indie?" asked the bunny gentle
man.
"Ill show you" Billie answer
ed. BY this time Uncle Wiggily
and the squirrel boy were in the
woods. Billie was Just unwrap-
ping the paper when, all of a sud-
den, out from behind the bushes
jumped the bad old Ear Scratch
ing Cat.
Vow! Yow!" howled the cat, as

POEMS YOU SHOULD KNOW
THE MOODS.

7 conned poets book from page to page,
And marked the many moods in when ne sung,
And some early songs, and bold, ana ruhs
OF love and wine and passions and the rage
OF his wild violent heart. And some the sage, ,
Man-grown, had writ; and here, it seemed the
tongue
OF mighty genius, free and crrbless, flung
Its priceless thoughts to men. But in old age
In the calm autumn free from pans OF pam,
O then his songs were sweetest to the ear;
He sang of sunsets in the golden west,
OF yellow harvest moons, and gathered grain,
or heaven and the hour we tarry here
l loved the tranquil songs of age the best

THE WOMAN he Married
By JANE PHELPS.

was, as he had said, hurt" He
hated to have me say one word
against what the soldiers had
done, what our country had
done. He was intensely patriotic,
and had sorrowed dreadfully when
the doctors wouldn't let him go
back after he recovered from
his wound, and the slight shell
shock.
l seldom referred to the war,
or to his part in it. Yet l often
thought of it, and how he had
lost his chance to get rich by
volunteering. Not that consciously
I would have had him profiteer,
as great many had-but he
was bright, and clever; he would
have seen many chances to make
money had he been at home,
well. and able to attend to bust
ness.
1t may seem strange that I. a
country girl, should so soon have
become inocculated with the
money bug, as Dick called it.
But when a woman loves pretty
things, Is fond of adjoining her
self and her home, and sees
them all about her, although she
cannot afford them, it is hard for
her not to be envious-not to
long for the flesh pots-not to
do whatever she can to get what
she desires.
l used to spend hours In
the stores, looking at absurdly ex-
pensive materials - things that
only the very wealthy could buy
and watching the beautifully
dressed women who came in car
riages and motor cars to shop.
This habit was very bad for
me. Dick had encouraged me to
run around to the shops" when
we were first married. He
thought it would keep me from
being lonely. Then in the even
ing we often would walk down
the avenue, and look in the win
window shopping" l call
ed 1t. l would select what
liked and Dick would pretend he
was going to buy it for me. He
little knew how intensely | was
wishing he would. or could.
But for several weeks l had
not been able to go out very
much save around the neighbor-
hood. Yet in some way I had
spent every penny he gave me
beside being so much in debt.
My life was made miserable by
the thought Of how I was to hide
this from DiCk-and not at all
because of my own wrong-doing.

the bronx busting buckarOos who
make the big Vegas show every

that Idaho Bills string OF bucking

the 1921 reunion, July 4-5-6. Idaho
Bills outlaw Cayuses have per-
formed at Las Vegas for five con-
secutive years and have delivered"

testify. This year the bronks WIN

more resentful than ever in having
a puncher get "above them"
Idaho Bill, himself. with his pic
turcsque long hair. has been much
in the public eye the past year. The
famous scout and plainsman ap-
peared in Leslie's Weekly and Sun
set magazine all lit up with Illus
trations and just recently broke in
the headlines of dozens of news
papers with his roped Mexican
bear which he toted around the
country in a flivver. One of Idaho
Bits bucking horses, Dynamite,
was the inspiration for q bit Of
verse which appeared in many
metropolitan newspapers and mag
azines. The first two stanzas are
as follows:
The outlaw stands with blindfold
eyes,
His feet set wide apart;
His coal-black hide CLEANS in the
sun,
There's KILN In his heart.
A puncher squats upon his heels,
His saddle at his side.
He's sizin' up or Dynamite
Which he is booked to ride.

NO BIDDERS FOR
EVERGLADE LAND

Tallahassee Jan 5-(Special)-
Some weeks ago the board of COM
missioners of Everglades drainage
district and the trustees of the inter-
nal improvement fund caused to be
advertised that bids would be opened
on the 3rd of January for the sale
of about 10000 acres in the Ever
glades. This territory lies south
and southeast of Lake Okeechobee
and in the Moore Haven region.
No bids were received however,
and consequently the lands will not
be sold at this time 1t is very
unusual that property is advertised
for sale and at the appointed time no
bids are in hand, and this is proba-
bly, the first time in history that
such has been the case, relative to
state lands.
Some months ago a sugar refin-
ing company made application to
the board to buy large tracts of lands
in the Everglades for the purpose
of reclamation and cultivation. When
the application was made, the board
maintained that a sale could not
lawfully be made without first adj
vertising for bids, which they agreed
to do. Accordingly the advertise
ment for bids has been running in
newspapers of the state for the re-
quired length of time, and now that
a legal sale could be made, there is
no demand.

New York, Jan. 5-Do you carry
little guinea pig in your pocket?
Probably not; but if you have any
friends among the unregenerate who
have not yet got around to applying
the 18th amendment personally, a
smooth coated little guinea pig would
make a splendid New Year gift. It
has been quite popular companion
here in Sew York. For it is the
whiskey tester infallible. If the
cavy, as it is known in professional
circles. drinks few drops of liquor
and still lives, the human being
standing breathlessly by may safely
go ahead with it. But if so much
as one drop of wood alcohol is pres
ent, the cavy dies without delay. In
cidentally, the price of the little ami
NAL has, risen from SO to SIS since
its valuable quality became more
valuable. 1t must be smooth
coated guinea, though. The rough
coated ones haven't sufficiently RIO
tous spirit to drink liquor of any
sort.
Mrs. Arthur Hammerstein has re-
turned to the stage. When she

announced that she had formally and
permanently renowned the stage.
But the lure of the footlights has
brought her back into her husbands
own production. "Tickle Me-" She
has stepped, unannounced, into the
prima donna part under her former

Recently, Lillian left D W Griffith
