UNCLE WIGGHY AND THE
COUNTRY RABBIT.
BY Howard B. CARTS

Once upon a time, as Nurse Jane
Fuzzy Wuzzy was getting Uncle
Wiggily's breakfast in the hollow
stump bungalow, the muskrat lady
looked across the woodland path
and saw something that made her
call out:
ooh, my goodness sakes alive!"
whats the matter?" asked the
bunny gentleman, who was just
coming down stairs hippity hop.
"You don't see the Fuzzy Fox or
the Woozie Wolf so early in the
morning 1 hope, Nurse Jane?"
NO" answered Miss Fuzzy Wuz-
w, "but l do believe a new rab-
bit has moved into the old bur-
row house where we used to live.
See. Mr.. Longears. isn't that a new
rabbit"
Uncle Wiggily looked from the
window and saw bunny about his
own age, but quite different in
dress. This bunny had on a flappy
straw hat, blue overalls and big
boots.
HE must be a country rabbit"
sand Uncle Wiggily. 'I'll speak to
him and ask him to breakfast"
Uncle Wiggily hoped out on the
porch and called:
Hello. there! You're a stranger
around here. Won't you come and
have breakfast with me?"
The other rabbit looked up in
surprise.
"Wa'al, that's very kind of you.
neighbour" he said in slow. drawl-
ing tones, like a dear old farmer.
But I'm from the country. / had
my breakfast before the sun was
up. I came in to town to look for
burrow, and this seems to suit
me. I'm going back now and get
my wife. She's from the country,
too"
II used to live in the country
before l came to this hollow stump
bungalow" spoke Uncle Wiggily,
land l like country folk. Do come
in and have a cup of carrot coffee
before you go after your wife"
yes, do. please" invited Nurse
Jane.
"Wa'al, I don't care IL I do" said
the country rabbit So over he
hoped in his Zig boots, and clean
ing off the mud before he went
up the steps, he entered Uncle
Wiggily's home.
Mr. Longears was glad to see
the strange country bunny, and as
the visitor was leaving Nurse Jane
said:
when you come back with your
wife. we'll go to the movies this
evening"
What's that movies?" asked
the country rabbit. I'VE call it a
moving when we change our home
from one place to another"
ooh, no, | mean moving pic
tures!" laughed Nurse Jane. Don't
you ever have them in the coun-
try?"
"Never heard of 'em-not where
live" said the country bunny,
Are they good to eat 2"
"Ha! Ha" laughed Uncle Wig
gily. Moving pictures good to eat!
Well have to show him, Nurse
janet"
Eyes, indeed" said the muskrat
lady.
"Wa'al, 1 reckon I'll go back
home an get my wife" said the

THE MARKETS
tBy The Associated Press. }

New York. Aug. 31.-The stock
market today forfeited a consider
able part Of its recent substantial
recovery. This was attributed to
the absence Of new constructive
forces, which provoked a renewal
of bcarish aggressions.
Contrary 10 promises held out
yesterday. the money market de-
veloped greater firmness. The Of
fetal rate for call loans opened at
5 per cent and this was increased
to 51s per cent in the final hour.
There was also a distinct contrac-
ton of time funds, although those
rates were unaltered.
Additional July statements of
railroad earnings were mainly
favorable, but investment trans
portations were unresponsive. es-
pecially the Hill group and leading
coalers. Other deterrent factors
included survey of general bust
ness conditions. which indicated

I did my best. buttoned it under
my coat when the rain came and
| don't believe a drop of water got
on that umbrella! You see we aren't
used to umbrellas in the country.
When it rains we let it rain and
get wet"
Uncle Wiggily was so surprised
he didn't know what to say. But
he invited the country bunny and
his wife in and Nurse Jane gave
them tea. And 1t was long while
after that before the strange rab-
bits grew used to carrying an UNI
brella as 1t ought to be carried,
over their heads in a shower.
But this teaches US that we all
have something to learn and If the
chocolate cake doesn't go out in the
rain and get washed so pale that it
looks like a lemon budding I'll tell
you next about Uncle Wiggily and
the city rabbit.

VERSE OF TODAY
THE MAGIC TOUCH.

The summer night soft upon the land;
Dim shadows of the hills outlined the sky;
And from the wood doves unanswered cry
Uprose against Oron's shining band
We walked in silence but each other scanned
With friendly thought and sympathetic eye;
Until rougher place to help me by,
felt upon mine thy stronger hand
Was it the magic of the night me7
The open fields? The quiet stars above?
That strangeness of the solitude with thee?
Or tina far calling of the mating dove?
Or was it from the first ordained to be
That friendship at a touch should change to love

CHICAGO BOARD OF TRADE.

Chicago, Aug. 31.-Wheat MADE
a firm finish on the board of trade
today. Houses with export connec-
tons took the surplus on the break
and later in the session. when the
extent of export business at the
sea board was given out, shorts
started a covering movement which
carried prices sharply higher. The
close In wheat found prices &c to
2Ac up. Corn &c to 2Ac higher
and oats 4 lower to Ac higher.
There was considerable pressure
early but offerings were readily
absorbed and prices advanced
readily to above yesterdays finish
after being off around l cent early.
A break of cents in premiums at
Winnipeg and to cents at Min
neapolis was responsible for SELL
ing that made the inside figures of
the day. Houses with seaboard
connections were fair buyers on
the break.
Corn also recovered the latter
part of the session from early
losses. September went to a frac-
tional premium over the December
after being even with that deliv-
cry early in the day. Export de-
mand was brisk with liberal sales
to the east from here.
Oats declined under liquidating
sales early but rallied sharply
later, cash houses buying Septem-
Der and selling December.
Provisions were weaker and
lower with liquidation in January
lard feature. The lower cotton
market had somewhat of de-
pressing effect. Support was light
and selling scattered.
Closing prices:
Wheat - Sept, $1.211a; Dec,
$1.22%.
Corn-Sept., 5Stsc; Dec. 5S y c.

Simpson Quintet
Wins a Fast Game
From Five Points

The Simpson High school junior
Painters are working themselves
hard now getting into shape for their
annual Christmas week tour of south
Alabama. The Purple Tornado
quintet will catch train out of the
Magic City Monday week with Coach
George Reynolds and Will attempt to
live up to their breezy moniker by
sweeping several south Alabama
teams off their feet before heading
back to their mountain lair.
The first tangle of the tour will be
in Columbiana when they attempt to
overturn the strong Shelby county
five. Shelby always has ripping
team and with Whorton back in their
shed again this winter, their team
should be up to standard On Tues
day the Junior Cats viii dock in
Clanton to pitt skill with the Chiffon
County High outfit. Wednesday and
Thursday the team will be stopping
in Wetumpka to entertain the Fifth
District Aggles aud the Wetumpka
Athletic club.
This trip will be a strenuous one.
but Coach Reynolds is grooming his
men in anticipation, and is turning
loose no information about what he
expects of his proteges. either opti-
mistic or otherwise. About 20 men
are out in an effort to land assign
ments on the quintet.
Yesterday afternoon the season was
formally blown open, when the Five
Points team was taken in tow at the
Panther gym and dished out nice
licking, 80 to H. Five Points fought
hard but were unable to quell the at
tack the Tornado" whirled forth.
Caldwell Simpson forward, was the
star of the game. shooting six field
baskets and playing stellar game

Wheeler shine on the defense.
For Five Points, Lee at center was
the star scoring points and playing
great game on the defense. Simp-

Panther Team Is
Getting Ready To
Open Cage Season

The Birmingham-S Southern college
basketball aspirants reported for
practice Friday afternoon to prepare
for entrance into the City league.
Almost a score of men reported to
Coach Frog Miller for the initial
workout. and the prospects look very
promising.
The opening games OF the season
come next Wednesday evening at the
Y. M c. A. The Panther leaguers
are ptted against the Sloss- Shelf
field quint in the first fracas. The
Panther basket tossers are hoping
to get a jump by handing the last
seasons champs a licking in the
starting game.
While Coach Miller's team does not
appear as void heaters, with only one
day of practice, they do show that
there is much valuable material
ready to be developed. The team was
sent through a Commute scrimmage
in the first afternoon out and they
will practice every day now from
$3.50 until o'clock.
There were a number of men out
for forward positions yesterday aft
ernoon and several of them look
good Among those were Howell.
Churchill and Englebert. However.
there are several other men there
who are determined to fight before
quitting, and nobody will have
place cinched on the lineup for the
opening game until just a few hours
before the game next Wednesday.
The opposing forwards should be
well handled by such husky forwards
as have reported for try-outs. The
center position has several candi-
dates also.
