CT T is more difficult to obtain

crave the friendship Of men who
understand them and who will deal
sympathetically with their inclina-
tions.
There is a mistaken idea that
boys are more inclined to follow a
tough man than a decent one. The
problem. however, is to find that

plantations of the phenomenon. A Ger
man scientist recently claimed that he
had discoverea the weather could be
predicted "a or SO hours in advance by
observing the sounds made by these
wires. In particular rain, snow and
storms can be foretold with consider
able certainty. In winter the tones are
considerably higher than in the sum-
mer since the tension is increased by
the cold. High shrill notes precede
heavy but brief falls of rains or snow,
while deep humming tones indicate
rainfalls which are both brief and
light. Buzzing tones indicate change
in the weather; indefinite soft, hum
ming tones of medium strength indi-
cate longer continuance OF damp
weather. 1t is naturally difficult to
describe the tones with precision in
mere words. They must be heard re-
peatedly in order that the mind may
form consciously or subconsciOusly an
idea of the weather condition to which
they correspond. At any rate the sta

feet were very good for digging in the
soft earth. Before he moved into the
hollow stump bungalow Uncle Wiggily
used to dig himself a hole, or burrow.
in the earth, where he lived.
"But IL have to get rake, such as
bows and girls use, to make my garden
smooth" thought Uncle Wiggily, as
he dug and dug, making the dirt fly,
just as your dog sometimes does when
he is digging up bone he had buried.
Soon Uncle Wiggily had dug over a
large square bed of earth, and now it
needed to be raked smooth so the late
beans could be planted. Uncle Wiggily
had rake, which he had made by
stitching some thorns from the locust
tree through strip of birch bark. The
bark, with the thorns, like the teeth of
a rake, sticking through it was fastened
to long handle.
"With that thorn rake can make
Nurse Jane s garden smooth" said
Uncle Wiggily.
The rabbit gentleman hoped over
| to the woodshed back of his bungalow.
In this shed he kept such of his garden
tools as he needed to use, a rake, a
watering can and wheelbarrow.
1t was rather dark as Uncle Wiggily,
entered the shed, coming in as he did
from the outdoors, just as it is extra
dark when you first go in to see the
moving pictures. Uncle Wiggily step
ped toward the corner where he knew
the rake stood, when, all of a sudden,
something banged the rabbit gentleman
hard on his pink nose.
"Oh, dear me! What s that9" cried
Uncle Wiggily.
At first Uncle Wiggily thought per-
haps the Woozie Wolf or the Fuzzy
Fox had hidden in the shed, and was
now jumping out to get some ear nib
bles. But a moment Later the rabbit
uncle saw that it was the garden rake
which had hit him on the nose.
The rake stood in the corner, with
it's teeth out, and, stepping on these
teeth, as Uncle Wiggily did, made the
handle of the rake fly out and hit his
pink, twinkling nose.
"But III be more careful next

Uncle Wiggily an idea.
"Just a moment, before you nibble
my ears! ~ cried the bunny. MY
garden ism t the only thing that needs
raking to make it smooth Your rough
back needs raking, Mr.. Bob Cat"
With that Uncle Wiggily began
scratching with his rake, as hard as he
could, the back of the Bob Cat. Hard
and deep the bunny dug the sharp
thorns of the rake into the tender back
of the bad Bob Cat.
"Nibbe my ears, will you9'scried
the bunny. "But first you must have
