That is my pink nose"
laughed Uncle WiSSSil5y 90 "

Uncle Wiggily hoped along, over
the fields and through the woods,
and, all of sudden, he passed by
a clinging vine which smelled most
sweet.
"Ah, that is honcysuckle," said
the bunny gentleman. Some late
honeysuckle that has thet kindness
to blossom after the season is'over.
NV, how wonderful it is-filled
with honey, too, if | could only
get it out. But it needs Il long
tongue, like that of the butterfly,
to sip the honey from the long flow
ers.
However, Uncle Wiggily could
smell the honeysuckle, if he could
not take any of the sweet juice,
and, after shifting one or twice
with his pink nose, he hoped on
again. -
He had not gone very far be
fore, all of a sudden, he heard d
sad voice saying:
"Oh dear! I am so late! q
fearl All, woe is mel
"Hum! / wonder who this ear
be?' thonght the rabbit gentle
man. cit can't be the Black Bushy
Bear, for he has voice like bull
and these sad words were as gentle
as the south wind. L wonder whit
it is?''
He looked around and saw a but
terfly fluttering its wings of re-
and gold.
81 am so late. I am so yer,

''What are you late for9" ask
ed Uncle Wiggily, kindly. eff you
mean you are late for school, don It
worry This is Saturday and there
is no school,
"No, 1 don't mean | am late
for SCHOOL, went on the butterfly,
fluttering around the rabbit. 81
mean / am too late to gather any
honey from the flowers. Most of
the flowers have withered and died,
and I shall die, too, unless l can
gather sweets. Excuse me, is that
rose L see9' and the butterfly
fitted close to the bunny.
"Ah, excuse me, but that is my
pink nose," laughed Uncle Wiggily,
"and you are tickling me-" he ad-
ded, as the butterfly lighted on his
whiskers.
"Oh, my mistake," murmured
the butterfly. 81 thought your
pink nose was a rose where I might
sip honey. Alas! What shall / do
for sweets? | am so very late! My
friends gathered honey from the
early flowers, but | waited too late!
All, woe is me!''
"Don't feel so sad,'' spoke I'm
Gle Wiggily. 81 just saw some late
honeysuckle flowers. If you will
come with me I II show you where
thev grow on Il. vine. From them
you may sip as much honey as you
wish. -
"Oh, how kind you are!' sang
the butterfly. 81 thank you from
the tips of my wings" and the
lovely red and gold insect flew
along with the rabbit, who led the
way to the late honeysuckle vine.
The butterfly had long, thin
black tongue which, when not in
use, was kept crrled up like a fire
man s hose. Uncoiling its tongue,
the butterfly began to SIP the honey
from the late flowers when, all of
6. sudden, out of the bushes came
numbering the Black Bushy Bear.
"Ah! Now / shall have ears to
nibble!" howled the Bear, making
dash for Uncle Wiggily.
But the butterfuly flew up from
honeysuckle blossom and cried:
~ see black rose L must get
some honey from that!" And
straight it flew for the Black
Bushy Bear black nose, lighting
on it.
Couch, how you tickle! Oh,
ouchie, how you tickle! Oh, ouchie-
wowchie, how you tickle!' howled
the Black Bushy Bear. And then
he turned a somersault and ran
back in the woods to scratch his
ticklish nose on the rough bark of
a tree while the butterfly flew back
to the honeysuckle. -~.
=. "Ha! Hal" laughed Uncle Wig
gily. "Did you think the bears
nose was a black rose?'
"No, L just made believe to
tickle him so he wouldn u nibble
your ears" answered the beautiful
insect.
"Thank you,'' said the rabbit
gentleman, with a low polite bow
of his tall silk hat. And then, lean
ing on his red white and blue strip
ed rheumatism crutch, back home
he hoped.
And if the ice pick doesn t try
to stand on its head and tickle the
milk bottle i'll the ribs, l III tell you
next about Uncle Wiggily and the
hickory nuts.

Chicago StreetCar
Men Want Increase
(By Federated Press)

Chicago-Eighty cents an hour or
$38.40 a week of 48 hours is asked
by the Chicago union streetcar men
Of the Chicago Surface Lines as the
basis of new contract beginning Aug.
1. This maximum rate is for men
with one year or more experience. The
new scale would restore the wages Of
a year ago before the cut of 10 cents
an hour.
A second feature of the demands as
presented by Division 241, Amalga-
mated Association of Street and Rail
way Employees, is the six-day week
instead the seven days now in force.
Most motormen and conductors are
at present working eight hours daily
and four or five hours Sunday at the
fiat 70-cent rate. They get paid for
eight |hours on weekdays whether
they work the full time or not, but
the company finds it to its interest
to see that the full eight hours are
worked.
A third demand is for the abolition
of one-man cars.
Union officials have been author
lied by mass meeting of the mem
bership to negotiate with the COM
pany for the new demands.
Elevated crews, organized as Div
ision 3O8 of the same international
union, are expected to take similar
action for a restoration OF the old
wages with improved conditions.
Their scale usually is fixed at 2 cents
an hour above the surface rate.

Federal Mine Control
Before Next Congress
(By Federated Press)

Washington-Government coutrol
and regulation of the coal mines will
be one of the big questions before
congress when it reconvenes, accord
ing to predictions here.
The coal barons see the hand
writing on the wall, they have raised
slush fund of nearly half million
dollar, it is said here, to carry on a
campaign to discredit the miners
union and make it appear the workers
are responsible for the rotten condi-
tions that caused widespread suffering
producing another coal famine next
winter. Before congress meets, the
country may look forward to flood
of propaganda exposing of "red ac-
tivities" of the union and indirectly
if not directly, warning the public that
this mawless element" is seeking gov
ernment ownership of the mines to
get control of the industry and the u.
S. government. Hight priced publicity
men are on the job with excellent
typeWriters and well trained magma
tiOnS.
Senator Walsh Of Massachusetts
Dem) issued this warning to the
coal barons:
"lf by the time congress convenes,
conditions do not guarantee that the
country will get its full supply of
coal at a reasonable price, | believe
congress can not be restrained from
enacting measures that will insure
government regulation of the entire
coal industry. Unless regulation by
the government is provided, we are
likely to see government ownership
of the Mines"
No one here expects anything from
the coal fact finding commission, Gre
ated to learn the truth about the coal
industry, with John Hays Hammond,
millionaire mining engineer, at its
head 1t would be interesting to
know the extent Of Herbert Hoover's
influence on the commission.
