UNCLE
WIGCILY
BY HOWARD r. GARIS
UNCLE WIGGHY AND THE
CAKES.

Once upon a time. when Uncle
Wiggily was out walking with
Nurse Jane Fuzzy wuzzy, his musk
rat lady housekeeper. the bunny
gentleman stopped for a moment
and leaned over.
What in the world are you do
ing?" asked Nurse Jane. Did you
Set a splinter in your foot?" Very
often Uncle Wiggily did not bother
10 put on shoes or boots, but went
barefooted.
NO, I'm glad to say 1t isn't a
splinter or a piece OF glass" an
swered Uncle Wiggily. But here
is a poor little ant lady. caught in a
drop OF sticky gum from the pine
tree. I'm going TO get her loose"
oh, thank you, so much, Uncle
Wiggily," spoke the little ant lady
In very tiny voice. Il didn't see
this sticky pine gum on the ground
and 1 walked right into it, Ever
since then I've been trying to pull
my legs loose. but 1 can't"
I'll help you" said the bunny and
he did, soon setting free the little
insect who went happily on her
way.
Dear me. Wiggy," said Nurse
Jane, you stop and fuss so over
such little things as ants. It's a
wonder you ever get anywhere"
1T is the little things that count
IN this world. Nurse Jane laughed
Uncle Wiggily, with a jolly twinkle
OF his pink nose. The big things
seem to take care Of themselves.
but the little things often need look
ing after. / was glad to help the
tiny ant lady"
Well, if you keep on stopping
every minute TO help ants and grass
hoppers wei never get where we're
going" said Nurse Jane.
Where are we going" asked the
bunny. You asked me to come
walking with you but you didn't tell
me we were going any special
place"
We're going to have tea with
Aunt Lettie, the goat lady" said
Nurse Jane, and you have stopped
so often, first to help a lightning bug
out of the brook, next to take a
splinter out Of the wing OF a bee
and now to help the ant lady out
of the sticky gum-we have stopped
so often that I'm afraid Wen be
late"
'Oh, hope not" said Uncle Wig
gily. Wen hurry along now" And

anything all a. once there was
sustling IN the bushes a. the wind
blew among them. and voice cried
Run along. Uncle wIEgily and
Nurse Jane TT hold the box fast
by my thorns 50 he can't chase you.
IL hold the Fox until you get safe
~ home"
who are you?" asked the bunny.
The dropping rose you helped
was the answer The wind has
blown out my long. thorny branch
es. and I have angled my thorns %
the bushy tail Of the Fox Tie can
get loose"
ooh. WOW, Yes can. t'o"
howled the Fox But when ne tried
20 pull himself away from the tho~rs
OF the rose bush they held him
al the faster. and he couldn't ger
away until Uncle WiEg.ly and Nurse
Jane were safe in the hollow stump
bungalow.
.'WigEily, YOU were right 90 say e
Is the little things that count" said
Miss Fuzzy Wuzzy. ut has been a
lesson 20 me"

he and Miss Fuzzy Wuzzy were hur-
rying when, all OF sudden. they
passed some Wild rose bushes. And
on one stem was a sad. dropping
rose. II hung over. almost touch
ing the ground so that the sun
could not shine on 4. the rain could
not give Il a drink and no one could
look into the heart OF the rose and
see how beautiful Z was.
oh. you poor dropping rose"
cried Uncle Wiggily "a he saw the
flower. The strong wind has bent
you over when you ought 20 stand
up straight"
Yes" whispered the rose. i've
tried and tried 10 straighten up by
myself, but I can't. I am the last
rose OF summer. Uncle WIggily. and
al the other roses are gone. I'm
left here alone, and I wanted 20
perfume the air and let every one
see my bright petals. But all I
can do Is 70 droop away down in
the weeds"
That is soon mended," laughed
the bunny. Since your stem is TOO
weak TO hold YOU UP straight, I'll
drive a stake IN the ground and
fasten you 10 it. Then you viii no
longer droop"
"Oh, thank your' whispered the
rose.
Dear me" fused Nurse Jane.
IF you're going 10 stop again. Tn
Gle Wiggily. I'm not going to wait
for you. Wen be late for Aunt Let
ties tea"
You trot along Nurse Jane. %
said the bunny. I'll stop and tie up
this dropping rose and then I'll join
you"
So while Nurse Jane shifted and
ent on, Uncle Wiggily drove a long
straight stick in the ground beside
the rose and, with a piece OF wild
grape vine for a string. fastened the
flower 10 the stick. 50 Il could nod
in the breeze so the sun could shine
on It. the rain kiss It and so every
one who passed could see the beauty
and smell the perfume Of the rose.
Thank YOU" whispered the rose,
as Uncle Wiggily hoped away. Il
hope I didn't scratch you too many
times with my thorns"
mo. hardly any" said the bunny
Then he hoped on the where Nurse
Jane was having tea at Aunt Let
ties. He was late and tea was cold
but he didn't mind that Il helped
the rose said Uncle Wiggily.
As Uncle Wiggily and Nurse Jane
were going home, toward evening
all OF a sudden, as they passed some
thick bushes. all of a sudden the
Fuzzy Fox leaped out. gnashing his
teeth and growing:
Il want ears. I want ears 70 nib

ooh dear" cried Nurse Jane

The astral forces for this day act
with contradictory results. While
the sway from Saturn is a propitious
and powerful one, tending TO clear
away. obstacles and long-thwarting
congestions, and promising favors
or recognition from elderly persons
and weel-disposed friends, yet the
Jupiter influence makes the financial
issues doubtful, and the affecting
position Of Mercury tends to create
unsettled and disappointing cOndi-
tions with precarious results. 1t is
advisable 20 plan wisely for the flu
tire. but TO be on guard against de-
ception or slander-so say the stel-
lar seers.
Those whose birthday II is may
have a year Of conflicting interests.
While there may be a breaking away
from old distractions and delays.
vet financial returns may not result
as quickly az desired. Some recogni-
ton and friendly assistance is pre-
saged. A child born on this day is
likely 10 have a contradictory ma
ture. While It will be industrious
and persevering in certain direc-
tons. II may be inclined to slight
other duties unless weIl-trained In
early life.
