ment should affect our stock market
is rather difficult TO solve. Aside
from this there was little new in

looked like there might be further

While we were rambling about the
outskirts of q little town where | was
visiting recently, we came to a tumble
down brick building which my compan-
ion told me had once been an Inn.
1t was utterly deserted now, the
steps sagged, the door swung open, one
caught gliInpses of barren rooms with
paper peeling from the walls. The
sight of fine old fireplace iured me
within and presently we were exploring
the old ruin, treading gingerly on way
ering floors, taking our careful way
around an old mattress which had evil
IDENTIFY been the couch of some tramp,
regretting that the several fine ola
fireplaces should not be transplantable,
enioving the view from the vine shad-
owed windows, telling each other which
room we would choose (you see have

each female child and almost as many
changes for the male children.
Our Best Clothes
The people of that day had their
every day outfit which they wore every
day and then they had Sunday clothes
and possible besty best. These were
hung up in state in the big closet in
the spare room. Even in my own
earlier DAYS | remember that big
closet, though we did have several
others / can remember what halo
its remoteness threw over the dresses
which were considered grand enough
to be hung there. I still have at m

closet and find there some beautiful

PROTECTION AGAINST ROBBERS
e e g e e g g g g g e g g

Riverside Press: The legal depart
ment of the United States says the
court dockets show that the American
people were swindled out OF 100000
900 last year by sale of bogus securities.
Attorney General Daugherty says 1t
would take one judge million years to
hear the cases and in the meantime a
million new suckers cases would be
filed for stock swindles each year.
This type of swindler is called stock
burglar, selling questionable securities,
getting money out Of people by so-called
promotion enterprises, and even bond
sales.
A very simple remedy for ignorance
of values of stocks, bonds, good notes,
ETC., would be to have talk with a
banker in whom you have confidence
and who is naturally conservative.
If banker were not conservative
about such matters he would not remain
,efy long in the banking business, and
he is the only policeman against the
financial burglar.

would grow strong.

"Oh, nonsense!' - laughed Uncle Wig

Cat.
"We II make you stop!' called some
voices beside the path and, looking
down, Uncle Wigfily saw that he was
back at the place where the Pulpit
Jacks grew. And suddenly the Jacks
shook themselves, swayed from side to
side, the kind wind helping to blow
them and they spattered such lot
of water in the eyes and nose of the
Bob Cat, over Uncle Wigyily's IS head,
that the bad chap coughed and sneezed.
"Oh, | m all wet! I'm catching

at all.

"What is going on now, Uncle Wig

stepped from the hollow stump bun
galow one morning, and saw the bunny
rabbit gentleman sitting in his auto
near the side stoop. "What is gong
on now?'
"My cap is going on. for one thing,
said Mr.. Longears with a queer little
twinkle of his pink nose, and he put
his cap on his head, between his ears,
in such a funny way that Nurse Jane
couldn It help laughing.

But this just goes to show you never

Uncle Wiggily, though it wasn't a
puncture-,I'll tell you that much.
Twinkling his pink nose, and wav-

lady housekeeper, Uncle W1ggily
started off in his auto. He rode there
and here and there, looking for adj
ventures, but he found none, and he
was about to give up and go back to
his hollow stump bungalow when, all
of sudden, he heard in the woods
some sad voices saying:

leveled flat to the ground! No more
can we hold up our heads!"
"Hum! There seems to be trouble
here" said Uncle Wiggily to himself
"I'll take look and see if / can be OF
