did, the rabbit gentleman keeping
Billie S first stick for himself, as
he had kept Johnnie s.
When the squirrel boys had their
Indian bows and Indian arrows and
were having a good time playing
under the trees Uncle Wiggily hop
ped along with the two tree branch
es bent in the letter d.
"What good are they, Uncle Wig
gily?' chartered Johnnie, as, with
his bow and arrow he pretended to
shoot a bear.
"Why, l think l can make some
thing of these when 1 get home to
my hollow stump bungalow" said
Uncle Wiggily.
And when the rabbit gentleman
reached home he saw his muskrat
lady housekeeper out on the porch,
sitting in a kitchen chair.
"Do you know, Wiggy," spoke
Nurse Jane, "therc is just one thing
our porch needs, and that is rock
ing chair. I'd love to sit out here
in a rocking chair, but L don't like
to bring out my good one from the
parlor."
"Thcn I shall make you a porch
rocker offered the rabbit.
"How'' asked Nurse Jane.
~ II fastcn thes two curved piec-
es of wood that were too heavy for
Indian bows to the legs of the kit
chen chair" explained Mr.. Long
ears. SIN that way I'll make a
rocker and you shall sit On the porch
and rock and sew
"Oh, fine!" laughed Miss Fuzzy
Wuzzy.
So Uncle Wiggily made some holes
in the curved pieces of wood, and in
the holes he fitted the four legs of
the kitchen chair. He fastened the
legs in the holes with sticky gum,
like glue, from the pine tree.
"Now | shall try the new rocker
and, if it is all right, you may use
it," said Uncle Wiggily to Nurse
Jane. The rabbit gentleman sat in
the rocking chair he had made and
was going to swing back, when, ali
of a sudden, along came numbering
the Skillery Scallery Alligator with
the double -jointcd tail.
~ want ears TO nibble! l want
ears!" beloved the Gator.
"Well, before you nibblc mine,
would you please let me try this
rocker for Nurse Jane?' asked the
bunny.
ayes, 1 suppose 50, growled the
Alligator. II sit here ON the porch
and wait for you" So he sat down,
spreading his tail behind him Then
Uncle Wiggily began to rock. He
rocked and he rocked faster and
faster and, al of sudden, the bun
ny gentleman hitched the chair over
to one side and he rocked squarely
on the Alligator Is tail.
son, WOW. Oh, wouzie. Oh, zip
pie!" howled the bad chap. "Youve
broken my double jointed tall"
And down off the porch he flopped
himself, and away he ran, not nib.
bling the bunny's ears at all.
"There. Nurse Janet" laughed
the rabbit. 81 think your rocker
is all right to use. " and Miss Fuzzy
Wuzzy had grand time in it.
So this teaches us that it is u
good thing, sometimes, to play Ind
ian, and if Robin Red Breast doesn t
wear Il blue vest when he plays
golf and maze his wife think he is
going to be a soldier, ! III tell you
next about Uncle Wiggily and his

A NARROW ESCAPE

Ell Centre escaped drastic lesson IN the need 1Or
additional fire equipment by matter of moments
yesterday and it is we'll to think what might have
happened had fate chosen to play against the city
instead of with it.
The fire department answered alarm for a
small blaze at the Ell Centre hospital which FORUM
ately not in the main building, and was easily
extingushed. Five minutes after the return OF the
apparatus to the station, still alarm for fire
in group of palm trees at the corner of Seventh
and State streets, and adjoining one OF the finest
residences in the city.
Had the fire at the hospital occupied the atten-
tion of the firemen few moments longer the hand
Embury residence would have been mass of
flames. With only one pumping engine Iii the city, and
that busy at the hospital, it would have been i'm
possible to give the second fire adequate attention
Hydrant streams would have been available of course
but the low pressure would have made them weak
to be negligible.
The escape narrow, and possibly the city will
be able to weather escapes In the future
The time may come, however when the supply of mar
escapes used up and the city will then be face to
face with disaster unless it has learned its lesson in
meantime and purchased additional pumper.

MICHIGAN PAIR WILLING TO
 TRY MARRIAGE FOR YEAR,
 BUT NOT FOR WHOLE LIFE

DETROIT, March 16. Marriage "for keeps" is too risky and the laws of Michigan are "all wrong" accord ing to John Attaro and Mary Alex ander, who were denied a license to wed for one year. They refused to take a permanent" license and have parted. John is going back to Malto.
 "It's all wrong," says John. q won't take a chance with Mary for more than a year. She's a Spaniard, and I'm Maltese. I've been in this country for three years, and I haven't been able to find a Maltese girl. Mary was the nearest approach to one I could find"
 And Marys version:
 we don't want to spoil our whole lives by a foolish marriage. You see everybody talks of separating after they've been married two or three years. John is afraid won't suit him, and he don't want to be tied to me for life. There's a diff ference in our language, our people and customs. I would be glad to marry him for one year, but no longer"
