burrow," offered the rabbit uncle.
And soon Susie was learning the
difference between cabbage ana
other plants that are not good for
rabbits to eat. Uncle Wiggily told
her how to notice the leaves, the
stems, and the way in which cab
bage grows, in Il round head like
a balloon.
"Do you think you viii know
cabbage when you see it next
time?" asked Mr.. Longears, when
he was ready to hop back to his
bungalow.
"Oh, yes, indeed, thank you,
answered Susie. "But what is this
funny, fuzzy brown plant growing
here, Uncle Wiggily? Is it good
to eat?" and Susie Wiggily? Is
it good to eat?" and Susie pointed
to something like brown dusting
brush in the grass.
Uncle Wiggily gave one look and
then he whispered:
"Come away quickly, Susie! That
is the tail of the Fuzzy Fox. He
must be asleep or lie would have
heard US or seen US before this.
Come away quickly, before he
awakens and nibbles our cars. In.
deed, the tail Of q Fox is not good
for rabbits, any more than burdock
is. But you were Il good littlo
girl to use your sharp eyes SO well.
Always look twice before you pick
anything to eat in the woods or
fields. Now make no noise!"
So Susie and Uncle Wiggily hop
ped away. so softly that they did
not awaken the Fox. And when
he did open his eyes he yawned and
stretched as he said:
"Well, / guess there viii be no
ear nibbles for me today. Uncle
WiggilH ism t consingl" And he
never knew that two rabbits had
been 50 close to him.
After this lesson Susie had no
trouble bringing home cabbage for
her fathers supper. Aud if the

asked Susie, who was playing at
making sand pies in the back yard.
"Go over in the field and bring
me some cabbage for your father S
SUPPER" called Mrs. Littletail.
"All right, mother, I'm going!"
answered Susie, for she was very
glad to do things about the house,
even though she had to stop play
ing at making sand pies. q
Over into the field hoped little
Susie. She. twinkled her pink nose
as nearly like Uncle Wiggily as
she could, and she looked about for
ca bbage.
"Here's some," said Susie to
herself; and she was in such hurry
to get back to her sand pies that
she nibbled off some of the first
big green leaves that she saw, and
with the stem of two of the leaves
in hermouth back home she hoped.
"Here is the cabbage for daddy s
SUPPER" called Susie to her mother.
Mrs. Littletail looked at the big,
broad green leaves just once and
them she laughed and said:

"Oh, / thought this was cab

hoped. "I made d mistake by

she said to herself. "This time ! III

TACK JOHNSON. speaking at In
- dianapolis. says there are three
men who can knock out Jack Demp-
sey-Luis Firpo. Harry Wills and
himself.
One Of the three, johnson himself,
can be eliminated. tho no doubt he
is quite serious In thinking he can
whip Dempsey. There are very few
old-timers who don't think they are
as good fighters es they ever were.
But the other part OF Johnson's
statement brings to mind what Jack
Kearns said year ago:
Il WISH said Jack. that Demp-
sey were not so good a fighter-that
somebody would develop who could
give him a fight
Both wishes have been granted.
Dempsey showed with Gibbons that
he isn't as good fighter as he was.
And Firpo is the young fellow that
was being so eagerly awaited.
