UNCLE WIGGILY AND THE
COLD BIRDS

Very cold was the weather in
Woodland, where Uncle Wiggily
| lived in his hollow stump bungalow.
1t was even bit cold in the bunga-
low, for coal was scarce and the
! bunny rabbit gentleman and his
| muskrat lady housekeeper, Nurse
Jane Fuzzy Wuzzy, shivered in
their coats of fur.
but it is worse for the birds
than for u.s. said Uncle Wiggily TO
Nurse Jane. 1.-THE birds can not
live in nests during the wintcr-not
even such birds as don t fly to the
warm South. Oh, the birds must be
very much colder than we are, even.
if they lave feathers.
"And they re hungry, too said
Nurse Jane, as she saw some spar
rows and starliugs trying to pick up
a few crumbs where the wind bad
swept the snow from the ground.
"Ill throw them out some
crumbs" offered Uncle Wiggily.
And when he had scattered crumbs
for the cold and hungry birds, the
sparrows and starlings chirped:
"1hank you, Uncle Wiggily!.
Some day, perhaps, we can do you a
favor
pray don I mention it, begged
the bunny with polite twinkle of
his pink nose, even if it was bit
cold.
That night ii grew much colder
| mean the weather did-and of.
course Uncle Wiggily's nose was
olso cold likewise. When it came
time to go to bed, Nurse Jane
brought out all the blankets, quilts
und comfortablcs she could find in
the hollow stump bungalow. She
gave half the covers to Uncle Wig
gily and half she took to her own
room.
"Now, don't open your window
too wide tonight, Wiggy,' warned
the muskrat lady. cit is getting
colder.
.But / must have fresh air!' said
the bunny cit is not well to sleep
with your windows closed. y
81 shall close mine said Miss
Fuzzy Wuzzy. But Uncle Wiggiiyl
left his window open few inches.

PUNISHMENT FOR SPEEDERS

Suppose" says San Francisco Judge, "the street
killing one person every three days. Just
imagine, if you can, the telephone lines killing
every three days. What would happen?"
"Why, there would be such an upheava that it
would not be ended until those conditions stopped"
One human life every three days has been San
Francscos auto-kng record. Some other cities have
worse records than that.
Is it any wonder that more rigid enforcement of
traffic regulations is demanded wherever tie automo
bile used? is it surprising that there is increasing
tendency among judges TO impose severe sentences
speeders and careless drivers?
Eventually, no doubt irresponsible persons will
not be allowed to operate motor In the meantime

NOT A GIFT or THE GODS
sssenai Magnetism somsthing That
e@n ss Cultivated Through Proper
Course Of Thinking.

'.Fhe belief that personal mao.
neeism is gift Of the gods and
snat no man may come BY ii unless
ne is born with it, is erroneous. >
says Addington Bruce in Forbes
Magazine, "as may be shown even
by a mere enumeration of tbe fac-
tors which in combination constj-
tute personal magnetism.
@foremost among these are self
confidence, enthusiasm. yigor IN
thought and action, and. in especial
human sympathy. Study the per-
sonallty OF any man you know to
De magnetic, in the sense Of at
tracing Others and exercising
marked influence over them. and al
ways yon will find him self-conti-
dent, enthusiastic, vigorous and
sympathetic.
oiSo through haDftuaIlY
thinking vigorously, courageouslv
cheerfully; through habitually
maintaining manfully erect pos
ture, at once expressive of yigor and
creative of it. Such a posture. /
may add, is also expressive and
creative Of that other prime in
gredient in personal magnetism
self-confidence.
Sympathy is of paramount inn
portance in the developing Of per-
sonal magnetism. The most con-
fdent, enthusiastic and vigorous Of
men will find his influence over
Others diminished in proportion as
he is deficient in human sympathy. |
This being so, and sympathy being |
in itself one of the most precious Of |
personal assets, its acquisition should |
be sought by all. /"

TIMES DO CHANGE

ut is odd how fads get hold of a
country" remarked the gray-haired
man. 1T seems only a day ago that
the country was all wrought up over
walking matches, just as they are
now over long-distance dancing con-
tests. Why | remember when there
was scarcely town in the country
that did not have at least one cham
pion heel-and-toe walker Contests
were being staged all the time, most
" in halls where so many laps made
a mile. The contestants walked on
sawdust or tanbark tracks, and the
grinds usually lasted from Monday
morning to Saturday night. There
we're cries then about them being in
human exhibitions"

WRITES or SPRING SNEEzEs'
PHYSICIAN Explains interestingly Tho

Early spring attacks of hay fever

Doctor Walker begins a series of
articles on the nature and treatment

by the pollen sifted into the air by
the blossoming trees. In many trees

leaves. The flowers may be neon
spIcuons, as in the elms, or very,
prominent on long and snowy cat
klns. In persons who are sensitive
to only one kind of tree pollen, the
symptoms last only few days, but
persons who are sensitive to several
kinds of tree pollen may have one
long attack throughout the season,
or, as is more commonly the. case,
several short attacks with pauses be-
tween, depending entirely on the
times of pollination of the trees to
which they are sensitive.

DEsoLATED BY FLOODS

Violent deluges have occurred in
Macedonia, southern Serbia and
Thessaly. Entire villages we're
swept away by the swollen rivers,
and the terror-stricken inhabitants
took refuge in the mountains.
Thousands Of peopls are homeless,
and a heavy death roll is feared.
The Salonika and Cayalla regions
were converted into an enormous
lake. The villages of Koulakia and
valmada were entirely isolated.
Hundreds of people, half-demented
by fear, climbed to the roofs of their
houses or sought refuge in trees,
where they were held prisoners by
the floods. Barges were sent to res
cue them, and cavalry patrols rem
-dered help where. possible. Whole
herds of cattle and Aocks of sheep
were drowned.

European countries, and the subject

On the continent alcohol lamps are
now made with incandescent mantles

ADDS 70 BEAUTY OF CAPITAL
scuIptor's Idea Furnishes an Addition
TO the Many Beautiful Statues
That Adorn Copenhagen.

Copenhagen, already rich in
monuments and statues, is about to
add another to its public sculptures.
The city of Rome some time ago
presented to the city of Copenhagen
beautiful classic column with q
Dante relief, and.it was decided that
it should be erected as a Dante
monument on square to be re-
named Dante square. The king of
Italy laid the foundation stone dur
ing his visit to Copenhagen last
year, but there has been doubt
as to how the column should be
treated at the top. 1t was first in
tended that an antique capital
should solve the problem, but tests
proved this unsatisfactory. Pro-
lessor Utzon-Franck, the sculptor,
was appealed to, and he has succeed
ed in finding a way out of the
dilemma, which is possessed of
great artistic merit and beauty. He
places on the top of the column
bronze figure Of Beatrice in loose
classic garment with a gilded laurel
wreath round her head. This figure
will be more than two meters high,
the pedestal two meters and the
column itself rather more than six
meters high.

NEW COAL DEPOSIT OPENED

Five miles east of Gillette, Wyo,
a new coal deposit was recently
opened. Significance attached to
this new field of coal operations be-
cause this is said to be the third
largest deposit in the world The
vein extends to depth Of 50 feet
thick and covers an area OF 800
acres. Only two other fields in the
world are larger, it is claimed, one
in France and one in Australia. But
the Gillette field has this advantage
over the other two-they are not
uniform or constant in character, it
is said, whereas the Gillette field is
of uniform character.
