coming. along as fast as he could
run.
Jackie, Jackie, What's the mat
teri" called the bunny.
Run along. Uncle Wiggily. run
along." barked Jackie. Something
terrible IS chasing me, Don't stand
there or It may get you. Run along
now and you'll have a head start!
Runi Don't wait for me 10 catch up
TO you! Run!'
So Uncle Wiggily kicked up his
hind legs and ran along the path
lust ahead Of Jackie. The bunny
7 could hear the doggie boy coming
along behind him, and back Of
Jackie was a banding. tapping noise
as il some strange animal was leap
ing along as fast as he could leap.
"Oh that must be the Skeezicks
or the Pipsisewah after Jacket"
thought Uncle Wiggily It's a good
thing L started 10 run in time. or he
might have caught me also"
Faster and faster hoped the
bunny. Just managing 10 keep ahead
of Jackie. And along came the
| doggie boy, barking and bowling.
And behind the doggie boy came
| omething-Uncle Wiggily didn't
dare stop long enough TO turn
! around and see what il was. But it
! was something bounding and bump
ing and leaping along.
IT guess it's some bad animal
| trying to get Jackie TO nibble his
! ears" thought the bunny. And if
it catches Jackie it Will want me
next. oh, this is dreadful
Faster and faster ran Uncle Wig
! gily. Faster and faster ran Jackie.
The little puppy dog boy was be-
ginning to get tired for he had run
/ a long distance. But still that ter
rible something was chasing him,
AT last the bunny came 70 place
where one path branched off from
another like the wide part sof the
letter Y. The left road led to the
deep. dark woods. and the right TO
Uncle Wiggily's bungalow.
Follow me, Jackie Take the
right road" cried Mr.. Longears.
But, by mistake, the puppy chap
turned TO the left. And as he soon
passed Uncle Wiggily the bunny had
chance to look behind Jackie and
see what was chasing the little dog.
And what Uncle Wiggily saw made
him call out:
stop running, Jackie! Stop run
ming! You have nothing to fear!
There isn't any animal after you!
| Stop your long, fast rum"
But there is something after
me-" howled Jackie. Il can hear
It right behind me and sometimes
J it seems to grab hold Of me-"
I It's only an old tin can, caught
on a piece of Wild grapevine. and the
] grapevine IS caught on your tail"
said Uncle Wiggily. Don't run
away from it any more. Jackie. 1t
can't hurt you!"
Jackie stopped. and then, of
course, the tin can no longer
chased him. For it was only a tin
can caught on his tail that had
frightened the puppy on his way
home from the store. The faster
he ran the faster the bad some
thing" seemed to come after him.
, And only that Uncle Wiggily saw
what II was, Jackie might have been
running yet And the bunny him
self had been frightened for a time.
But after this I'm always going
TO look behind me before 1 run
away" barked Jackie, as he took off
the tin can. Next time it may be
only a paper box!"
That's rightr' laughed the
\ bunny gentleman. And II the pussy's
tail doesn't freeze fast 10 the milk
bottle when she wraps it around to
keep the cream warm. I'll tell you
next about Uncle Wiggily and the
danger sign.

Fair Weather and Gas
Jump Come Together to
Dislike of Auto OlOners

Motorists met another problem
Monday with the continuance Of fair
weather. Just a little cloud of gloom
for they who own flivvers-men
with Packards seldom care.
Gasoline-that essential fluid ne
cessary to assure the pleasures of a
spring evening after a mild but idle
winter-took a little jump Monday
according to the Gafill oil company,
and now motorists who have been
filling the tanks at % cents the gall
Ion must shell out another nickel

And the man who guards his

lower mileage for the season. so
that he won't run over the family
flivvering budget.

Leavenworth, Kan, July 4.-"Well
I've learned my lesson, guess I'll have
sense enough to go straight now"
said Harry Muldoon, king of the
yeggs," today.
He was outside of Leavenworth
'pen," a man Sc years old, who had
just finished serving one more
stretch"
The patriarch of safeblowers known
to the camera eye" detectives from
coast to coast, and one of the oldest
prisoners in the United States, seemed
disappointed at not finding a "bull''
waiting for him at the prison gates.
I've gone thru that experience so
often that 1 really expected to be re-
arrested" he said.
Muldoon. under the name of George
Duncan, went to prison for the first
time 46 years ago. 1t was for safe
blowing. That was his start in a ca
reer of crime which made him motor
ious as one of the most expert safe
crackers in the country and kept him
behind prison bars for many years.

IS QUIET FOURTH
Many TOpekans Celebrate To-
day by Burning Gasoline.
Picnics and Basket Dinners Are
Popular Today.

yankee Doodle came to town, a.
riding on a pony" saith the ancient
lay. And that, was the first celebra-
ton of the Fourth of July.
In the short span of LAG years
short as national history runs-the
Yankees have pretty nearly reversed
the procedure.
Topekans today celebrate the
Fourth by getting out of town in the
fliVver. If there were no other way
to get out of town, they might con-
descend to travel on a pony, but the
gas wagon holiday vehicle is far more
satisfactory.
The bulk of the celebration today is
being done with gasoline. Lunch
baskets have been loaded into the
faithful fourty-horse chaise, and the
family has fled the city.
No Organized Celebration.
There is no organized aH-Topeka
celebration in progress. Stores, banks.
and public offices are all closed, of
course, and there is no work in pro-
gress anywhere, except the necessary
tasks incident TO day Of eelebratioli.
In Garfield park a picnic is being
held. In Gage park there are in
numerab BILE picnickers, and despite the
fact that the independence Day sultri-
ness is .conspicuously lacking, the
swimming pool is being generously
patronized.
This afternoon at o'clock. the
members of the shop crafts on strike
in Topeka will meet at Ripley park
for a social time, and a speaking pro-
gram Vat which the labor leaders of
Topeka. with possibly some of the
general chairmen from other cities,
will appear.
Various individual organizations are
holding picnics. At Lake View park,
Twenty-second and Quincy streets, the
Spanish-American War Veterans,
with their wives and families. and the
disabled veterans of the World war as
their guests. opened an all-day picnic
and good time, with lemonade, ice
cream and watermelons, this forenoon
Flags flutter from business build
ings and private residences, and
maugre the city ordinance and the
state law. the pop of the firecracker
is occasionally heard in the land.
Go to Rural Communities.
The weather man has been. thus far
in the day, more complaisant than is
his wont on the Glorious Fourth. A
consignment of weather which could
mt be surpassed for celebration of
any thing from national independence
to a wedding anniversary, was issued
this morning.
Many Topekans will seek the rural
communities where Joy reigns unre-
fined, during the day, and will brave
the fulminations of firecracker and
the orator alike, safely outside the
city limits, but in Topeka-it might
Cs well be Sunday.

The legend of the Kansan who was
picked up by a tornado, carried four
miles thru the air. and set gently and
safely down in the center of straw
stack put in the right spot by the long
arm of coincidence, was once very
popular-especially among Eastern
newspapers. The same tale. with in
Vulnerable variations, has served well
to fill many spaces which the make
up man left on the front page.
The usefulness of the legend Pc
tered out, and for long years it has
not appeared. But a tale which bears
the earmafks of the same plot, altho
a true tale withal, was enacted in To-
peka in the past few days.

HITS THE COAL MINES
Car Shortage Reported at Mines in
Southeastern Fields.

Charleston, W. Va. July 4.-Mines
in Southwest Virginia and Northeast
Kentucky suffered from the first car
shortage since the strike began last
week when the railroads were unable
to provide sufficient cars Saturday for
the usual loadings. Despite this
handicap, a new high mark was estab-
lished for West Virginia mines ac-
cording to a statement issued by the
West Virginia Coal association, when
1,7S4I450 tons of coal were shipped
last week. p gain of $3.50 tons over
the previous record established last
week.
Many fields showed that slight in
creases would have shown record to-
tails but for Saturdays slump. the re-
port said.
In the Logan field, where the load
ings are now averaging 1900 cars a
day, the total Saturday was 500 cars
The Kanawha field also was short of
cars, but the total loadings in this
field was $500 tons more than last
week The fields of New River and
Fairmont showed similar increases
There were S44 mines working last
week, a gain of six mines for the
week, it was stated.

READY FOR CUSTER
Suit Against Mayor COrwine
Will Begin Wednesday Morning
Judges WhitcOmb and Mcclure
to Hear the Testimony.

The trial of the custer suit brought
by the state against Mayor H. j. Cor
wine will begin on schedule time
Wednesday morning in Judge George
H. Whitcomb's division of the district
court, it was indicated today. Attor-
neYs on both sides stated today that
they are. ready for the battle. and that
only some unexpected incident would
be likely to delay the hearing, which
is set for 8 o'clock in the morning.
Approximately fifty witnesses have
been summoned on behalf of the state.
Both Judge Vhitcomb and Judge
James A. Mcclure, of the first divi-
sion, will occupy the bench. The tes-
timony will be taken by George j.
Hamaker, the regular court reporter
of the second division.
The attorneys defending the mayor
will be Col A. NJ. Harvey, of the firm
of Harvey & O'Neill; Col. Clad Hamil-
ton, of the firm of Hamilton & Ham
ilton, and T. M. Li1lard. of the firm
of Blair & Lillard. The attorneys
prosecuting for the state will be Rich
ard J. Hopkins, attorney general, and
C. B. Griffith, Cliff Matson and F. L.
Crabbe, assistants to the attorney gem
eral, and Tinkham Veale, county at
torney of Shawnee county.
It is expected that the state will
attempt to introduce large mass of
evidence concerning alleged irregu-
laritfeS in the police department dur
ing Mayor Corwine's administration.
1t is also believed that the legal end
of the fight will be of the keenest ma
ture and that the validity of certain
sections of the state law under which
the state is seeking to have the mayor
ousted, may be attacked.
The sessions of court will be from
O'Clock until noon. and from 1880
o'clock until o'clock each day with
a ten minute recess morning and aft
ernoon. Trial of the case will Prob
ably consume the balance of the week
and perhaps part of next week.
