Here and there some brightly colored
leaves, touched by the chilly fingers
of Jack Frost were still clinging to
the trees. And on the edges of the
hillsides were growing the sumach
bushes with their clusters of red leaves
and the punches of seeds, of the same
red hue were sticking up almost like
the stick with which the drummer beats
his big, bass drum in the parade.
Uncle Wiggily looked at number of
Rub Dubs, as Squeakie Eekie had call
ed them, but most of the sumach cIust-
ers were too large for the little mousic
girl.
At last, however, Uncle Wiggily
found IL red cluster that was just right.
"This ought to do for Squeakie!' -
said the bunny.
He reached up as nigh as he could,
standing on his hind legs, and when
IA rabbit does this he is quite tall.
Then with his front teeth, just made
for gnawing, Uncle Wiggily gnawed
! through the stem SO that the red su-
mach Rub Dub fell to the ground.
| The bunny gentleman picked it up
and made believe to beat Il drum with
| it. OF course the Rub Dub was rather
small for him.
"'But it will be just right for Squeak
e-Eekie," thought Uncle Wiggily. lie
was about to hop back to the path,
which he had left to reach the sumaeh
bush, when, all of sudden, he heard
"A voice say.

He can't go the back way,n said
the second voice, "because that way

and he ii get scratched to pieces. OH

What would you think of the pro-

twelve foot sidewalks stands can pro-
iect four feet three inches from the
building line, must not be higher than

no roof.
The contemplated drive on the

stand erected by bookstores. second

Chief Dunlop Yesterday revoked the

torn down. Today an attorney for
the construction company notified Mr.
Dunlap by letter than the shelter plat
form would be altered to conform to
the law.
II don't think anything will be done
in that matter today the chief re-
marked but If it isn't fixed up
quickly we have II gang of bridge re-

Chief Dunlap objects to stands placed
along Eleventh street and Market

says, jam up the sidewalks at one of
