UNCLE WIGGILy AND THE
HONEY -SUoKLE

Outside Of Uncle Wiggily s hol-
low stump bungalow, and climbing
high up on one side, was mass of
honeysuckla vine. In summer the
leaves of the vine were green. Nest
ling amid the leaves were white
and pale yellow flowers, smelling
most sweetly.
Down inside each flower was a
drop of honey, and the butterflies,
with their long tongues, and the
humming birds, whose slender bills
were as long rs the uncurled ton
gues of the butterflies, came to suck
this honey.
That is why the vine on Uncle
Wiggily's hollow stump bungalow
was called honeysuck .e-for from
Il the butterflies and humming birds
sucked the sweet honey.
But now winter was come aud
the flowers had fallen from the
vine. The leaves were brown in
stead of green and Nurse Jane Fuz-
" Wuzzy said:
Uncle Wiggily, there is so much
dead honeysuckle vine clinging to
our bungalow, and shutting off the
light from the window, that | think
you had better cut away some of
the vine. :

bunny rabbit gentleman, and with

the long tangle of vines growing
and climbing up the side of the bun
galow and pulled them down.
The tangle of honeysuckle vine
was piled in the back yard.
"When it is dry l shall burn it, =
said Uncle Wiggily. "Perhaps It
may be ready to burn by Thanksgiv-
ing and | will make a bonfire for
the animal boys and girls to toast

Jelly, you are laughed Miss Fuz-
zy Wuzzy, the muskrat lady house
keeper.
"That s what keeps me young,
chuckled the bunny.
Uncle Wiggily twinkled his pink
nose and was going to hop to the
woods to look for an adventure,
when he saw Mamie and Billie Wag-
tail, the two goat children, coming
across the back lots.
ON wait ard take Mamie and
Billie with me-, thought the bun
ny gentleman, "We may have an
adventure together. -
Billie, seeing the tangled pile of
honeysuckie in the yard, bleated to
his sister:
eli, Mamie, see see if you can
jump over the big bunch of vine."
"All right, answered Mamie.
"You jump first, Billiel'
Billie shook his horns, stamped
his feet on the ground, and, taking
little run, leaped well over the
tangle of vines.
Then Mamie ran and jumped, but
she did not jump quite far enough,
and she landed on the edge of the
vines. The long pieces of honey
suckle tangle around her legs and
Mamie fell.
''Oh, IN so sorry" bleated Billie,
Fastening to pick up his sister.
I'm not hurt!' laughed Mamie.
"No, but you are certainly
tangled" sail Uncle Wiggily, who
hoped along 10 help get the vines
off Mamie S legs. And it took
quite some little time, for Mamie
was all tangled up like knots in a
piece of string. In fact, the long
strands of the honeysuckle vine
were like strong pieces of cord.
But at last Mamie was set free
and Uncle Wi6gily said:
"Come, little goat children, come
with me-
"Will you buy us lollypops-one.
two, three?" asked Billie.
"Ha. Ha! That s a pretty good
little verse-yes, / II buy You each
lollypop, promised the bunny.
"And if you get three there will

Iabbit gentleman. 80 there will

Eating their lollypops, Uncle Wig

they reached the back lots, ali at

and all is we'll. presumably.
The point becomes somewhat time

GERMANY,S OFFER.

Germany has stood strictly to the
demand that French troops must be
withdrawn from the Ruhr before
any settlement of the Preparations
matter can be made. France has in
sisted that Germany's passive re-
sistence" must cease before she will
listen to any offer. Thus the two ma
tons have been at loggerheads.
Now comes Germany with an offer
which seems to contain germ of
reasonableness 1t is so looked upon
in this country; England is inclined
to so regard it and Italy would pos
sibly see it in that light Even Bel
GUM perhaps would like to think it
over Poincare, naturally, would
prefer to have Germany formally hu-
initiate herself before he would listen.
but he Is none too sure Of his posi-
ton in his own country. Certainly,
matters being In this pass French
troops will not come out of the
Ruhr--and It is well that 1t is so.
On the matter of ceasing her pas
sive resistance Germany is silent. 1t
would seem, however, that If imme-
diately she would put her men back
to work to produce the wealth from
which the yearly payments are to be
made, thus showing an intention to
start now in producing that wealth,
the opinion of the other nations con-
cerned would be so strong in favor of
Germany's offer as a basis
for discussion that France would ac
cept it for such purpose. France will
not withdraw from the Ruhr. 1t is
up to Germany to go to work. If
this happens there is hope that a
will at last be reached.

ments OF the session OF the Legisla-
ture beginning said editorial with the
amazing statement that 1T Is difficult

which showed greater capacity for

that which adjourned Wednesday"
So our New Britain republicans must
join with the state republicans TO find
out what there is to rejoice over.
And apropos OF that Courant edi-
torial it is interesting to note that
at last that newspaper has men,
tioned-just mentioned-the matter
of the activities about time" 1t
lauds the Legislatures 'insistence
upon the uniform public display of
standard time as one of the com
mendable features of the session."
And there the Courant leaves the
matter.
We have asked that newspaper
twice, humbly on both occasions, to
come out and tell the world what it
thought of the bill making it an
offense to display timepiece show
ing other than standard time. That
newspaper has remained needless of
our earnest appeal. Today it comes
nearer answering the question than |
1t has ever done since the appeal was
made. So, by today's declaration, it !
must be understood that the Courant |
commends the manner in which the |
Legislature insisted upon public dis
play of standard time.
We appreciate the Courant's legal
acumen and ability to reason prop
erly to such an extent that we are |
able to see the blush upon its ample |
countenance when it realizes that it |
has been forced into this position by
position of prais-
ing one of the most ridiculous laws
ever smiled over by sophisticated
people. We feel for the Courant.
