UNCLE WIGGILY AND THE
GENTLEMAN BUG


walk with me, Nurse Jane?" ask
ed Uncle Wiggily one morning as
he finished breakfast in his hollow
stump bungalow. He ate some
picked rose leaves with clover buns
and cup of carrot coffee.
do you think you will have
any adventures? asked the musk
rat lady housekeeper.
"Well, 1 nearly always have ad
ventures" laughed the bunny rab
bit. Though, if one happens this
morning, it may not be to your lik-
ing"
"Oh, as the saying goes, III
take a chance,' answered Nurse
Jane, and she, too, laughed.
Then Uncle Wiggily and Miss
Fuzzy Wuzzy set out together over
the fields and through the woods.
They had not gone very far before,
all of sudden, there was rust
ling in the dried leaves on the
ground, and out crawled a big black
beetle.
"Oh, a tramp bug!" cried Nurse
Jane, drawing away her skirts, as
she saw the ragged wings and crook
ed legs of the black insect. "a
horrid tramp bug!'
Excuse me, Miss Fuzzy Wuzzy
"a Gentleman Bug, at your serv-
ice." And the black beetle took
from his head ragged cap and
made bow to the muskrat lady,
l am a Gentleman Bug, though l
do look ragged and like a tramp"
he buzzed. But it ism my fault
that l am poor. 1 have been trying
to get work but
"What can you do, my dear sir?"
asked Uncle Wiggily, who always
spoke politely, whether to Gentle
men Bugs or Tramp Bugs.
81 am said to be very clever at
buzzing around and picking up pins
off the floor" said the Gentleman
Bug. "In fact, when l was rich
and had plenty of money l used to
do nothing but pick up pins off
the floor. My wife seemed to be
always having new dresses made
and you never saw so many pins as
fell on the floor! l picked them
up, never thinking l would some
day be poor. But now alas, l am,
and 1 look like tramp. But +
am a Gentleman Bug"
50 Where is your wife and her new
dresses?'' asked Nurse Jane.
"Alas, she flew away and 1
have never seen her since-nor the
new dresses, either" signed the
black beetle.
''Are you still good at picking up
pinsP' asked Uncle Wiggily.
"Well, far be it from me to
boast,' buzzed the Gentleman Bug,
but l think L can still pick up
pins"
"Then Nurse Jane can give you
work. said the rabbit uncle. "She
is going to have a lot of new dress
es made ana you snall come to my
hollow stump bungalow and pick up
fallen pins; can't he, Jane2"
A" Why, of course" answered the
muskrat lady. "It will be pleas
ure to have him." and knowing
now that the beetle was no tramp,
but Gentleman Bug, Miss Fuzzy
Wuzzy was no longer afraid.
Uncle Wiggily and Nurse Jane
turned about and went home. On
the way the Bob Cat tried to nibble
Unele Wiggily's ears, but the Cen
tleman Bug nipped the Bob Cat on
his silly little tail and drove him
away bowling at the top Of his
voice.
Already the Gentleman Bug is
making himself useful" whispered
Uncle Wiggily to Nurse Jane.
AT last the three friends reached
home to the hollow stump bungalow.
aud after the Gentleman Bug had
been fed on some molasges candy
and given new suit Of clothes.

THE PEACE PRIZE

The American Peace Award of 100000 offered
by Edward Box is admirable contribution to peace
efforts. 1t to be given to the individual organ
States may cooperate with other nations to win and
preserve world peace AS such, it is welcome Wheth-
anything practical will come of it within meas
urable time is another question.
Half of the money is to be paid to the author of
the plan when it has been chosen by the jury of
ard and the other half when the plan has been put
into effect, has the united support of the Am
erican people. The competition ends next November
No one wants to be pessimstic in matter of this
kind with its solemn bearing the fate of mankind
but looks like safe guess that it will be long before
the second half of that 100000 is paid.
Unfortunately the whole question of international
peace cooperation has been bedeviled by political
partsanship and bitterness in this country and little
can be expected in the way of national agreement
til the ill feeling dies natural DEATH That may take
several years more.

DRY LAWS CAN

SPEAKER SAYS
Good Citizens VIII Not
Purchase Liquors,
Ebbert Adds.

Captain F. B. Gilbert, assistant gen
eral counsel of the Anti, Sa'oon
League Of America. whose headquar.
tiers are at San Francisco, chose for
his subject THE Unfinished Battle
in speaking at the Baptist church
here last evening. Captain Ebbert Is
well equipped to speak OF battles. as
he is a veteran Of the Spanish-Amer.
lean war and of the late war. Cap.
tain Gilbert commented on the danger
of the slack enforcement of the pro-
hibition 'aw BECAUSE of its tendency to
create d'srespect for all laws. and he
urged ct-4vns to perform jury service
when called upon rather thar get ex-
cused and then criticize the officers
because the laws were not enforced.
He criticized the attitude OF those VIII
said the prohibition law could not be
enforced. in view of the fact thai
conditions becoming progressively
better everywhere and he cautioned
those citizens who are loyal to Amer
lean Institutions and who realize the
importance OF following the constt
tuition and the law, against permitting
concessions against light wines and
beer because the United States con-
stitution provides hat no intoxicating
liquors shall be manufactured or sold
and light wines and beer are both
Intoxicating.
He further stated that those who
considered themselves good citizens
were not SO II they purchased intoxr
eating liquors themselves under the
present aw md that under the fed,
eral statute they were guilty of con.
spiracy to violate the Volstead act.
H. indicated several different penal
ties which might be inflicted for one
violation of the, iauor laws. to wit:
Conviction and punishment in the

of tho premises OF the criminal under
