UNCLE wIGGILY MENDS A

"Throw this away, Uncle Wig

bit gentleman one morning.
"Throw what away!' asked I'm
Gle Wiggily.

Nurse Jane handed Mr.. Longears

"Why, this seems to me to be

bunny uncle, twinkling his pink
nose. ''I see no hole it it. -

And when Uncle Wiggily did this
he saw tiny hole in the bottom of
the pan-a hole where the sunshine

journey to the station, staring
straight ahead through deep sunk
eyes, pitiful with unshcd tears.
The mourning services, the terri
fic heat and the strain of affairs
have already had their effect on
him just as the stress of office
bore down upon the two Presidents
who went before.
All Officials Are Worn
The farewell of the Capitol to
the body of Mr.. Harding was the
most impressive ceremony of the
hcart-rcnding 10 hours the remains
were here.
Just like Mr.. Coolidge the faces
of the government officials showed
pale burrows of sorrow and strain.
Attorney General Daughcrty, the
President s closest friend, was per-
haps the most deeply affected of
them all. The death of Mr.. Hard
ing eliminated . series of personal
and official misfortuncs for him.
The last journey of the body of
Mr.. Harding in Washington was
made down from the Capitol to the
station through an endless aisle of
white sailors and khaki soldiers.
Mr.. Coolidge and the Harding cab
met, which he is for the present at
least retaining, stood with hats
crossed upon their breasts while the
same marine band that greeted the
body the night before badc it fare

through the great concoursc at the
station, mingling with the rumbling
of trains while Mr.. Coolidge and

White House Deserted
The White House, which received
the body of Mr.. Harding over We'd
ncsday night, is deserted. Mr.. and
Mrs. Coolidge will not go there un-
til Mrs. Harding has made her plans
for the future. They will continue
| for time after their return from
Marion at the temporary White
House here.
The Capitol, where the casket lay
i'll state on the catafalque that bore
! the bodies of the martyrcd presi-
dents and the unknown soldier, is
still. Great banks of flowers that
filled the hallowed rotunda have
been removed and the scat of gov
! ernment again is abandonmcd un-
til the nation calls, or the regular
! session of congress begins in Dee
ember. Only Il blotch of mourning
here and there on the buildings tell
that the President passed
$4,000 Mourn at Bier
1t is estimated that 10000 mourn
ing citizens passed his bier in the
Capitol during the three hours it
lay in state there yesterday. A
cooling rain through last night
brought relief from the terrific
heat which has held the city since
Mr.. Coolidge first came down a
little less than a week ago to be
President of the nation.
Hospital checkups showed that
175 prostrations from the heat
were treated during the rites. Forty
four marines, the "Devil Dogs .
who fought at Chateau Thierry,
were taken to hospitals and 80 were
forced to leave the funeral cortege
on its journey up the avenue.

Procession List Limited

The list of participants in the
funeral procession has been limit
ed strictly to those near relatives
and closest personal and official

deemed necessary.
In preparation for the burial six
white pillars surmounted by eagles
have been erected in front of the
otherwise plain public vault at

a. space sufficient to accommodate
the members of the mournink party
will be roped off and the thousands

81 shall give it to the tinker
dog to mend," said Uncle Wiggily.
"lt will be an adventure for me to
watch him. l shall sit out in front
of my hollow stump bungalow and
wait for the tinker dog
So the bunny rabbit gentleman
sat out in front of his hollow stump
bungalow to wait for the tinker
dog, mender of umbrellas and tin
pans, to come along. But, though
Mr.. Longears waited many days,
the tinker dog did not come along.
"I know what L shall do" said
Uncle Wiggily at last. ~ shall
mend the hole in that pan myself. y
"Can you do it'' asked Nurse
Jane.
"I cant" said Uncle Wiggily,
calm and confident like. "All l
need is hot iron to melt the lead
that runs in the hole and stops it
up"
''It sounds easy" said Nurse
Jane. "But where will you get a
hot iron to melt the lead to run i'll
the hole?'
"Ill take your stove poker"
answered the bunny uncle.
So Uncle Wiggily sat out on the
back steps, where the tinker dog
umbrella mender always sat, and
the rabbit began to mend the hole
in the tin pan.
Uncle Wiggily found an old lead
spoon that would answer very well
to melt up. Then he heated the
poker i'll the kitchen stove and turn
ed the pan upside down so he could
easily get at the hole.
"Here is Il pitcher Of water" !"
said Nurse Jane. "When you think
you have the hole mended pour
some of this water from the pitch
or into the tin pan. If no water
runs out of the pan that viii show
the hole is mended.
"That s fine ideal" cried I'm
elc Wiggily.
The poker in the stove was al
most hot, and the bunny uncle was
just going to mend the leaky pan
when, all Of Il sudden, along came
Looping the WoOzie Wolf.
"Ah, ha.' howlcd the Wolf.
"This is just the chance L want to
nibble your cars
OWN you wait until l mend this
lcak?' asked the bunny.
What leak ?" asked the Wolf.
"This leaky hole in the pan, ="
said the bunny.
"I see no leak,' spoke the
Wolf.
"If you will hold the pan over
your head and look toward the sun,
YOU II see the hole" said the bun
uy. So the Wolf, being very cur
ious, raised the pan, right side up
over his head. Aud then, all Of a
sudden, Uncle Wiggily poured in
the pan some water from the pitch
er.
The water ran out Of the leaky
hole in The pan, and the water ran
into The eyes Of the wolf, making
him blink and hc cried.
"Oh, what a trick, What a trick,
You fooled me! Oh, wow!" And
blinking and blunking the Wolf ran
away, water dribbling from his
eyCs.
"iia' Hat" laughed Uncle Wig
gilv. "That was good trick. -
Then he melted the lead spoon and

THE NEW PRESIDENT

1t is a sad thing to into the presidency by the
way Of death. 1t is also terribly difficult thing.
Calvin Coolidge steps into the hardest and most res
ponsibe job in the world bar none unexpectedly and
a. moments notice He will be watched not only by
his fellow-countrymen but the whole world.
lt Is almost impossible to know beforehand what
be expected of given candidate for the presi
dcncy. The job itself has effect often surprising,
bringing out traits not before realized belonging
10 the candidates equipment.
Mr.. Harding showed much greater frmness in
the office than expected of him; Mr.. Taft, who
has been excellent Chief Justice, showed much
less. Roosevelt made fewer enemies and friends
than might have been looked for. George Washing
ton one of the most eXecrated persons of his
time.
The face of Calvin Coolidge as it has looked out
from a thousand newspapers in the last few days is
a strong face Almost too strong carrying more than
a hint of hardness which might easily become
rowness fanaticisn. Yet it is also very inte
gent face, with much of the intellectual about it. But
chiefly ii seems the face of of action and de-
overshadowed by the aspect of the 'gogetter" in
picturesque modern American tongue.
II looks today if there would be lack of
force in the White House in the next 10 months,
wobbling no ndecision, no easy-going calmness
Whether Mr.. Coolidge is big enough for his great job
no one knows. Few of presidents have been
Fewer still of those who might have been elected
would have been big enough
Mr. Coolidge's face sums up that of the New
England Yankee of the highest type with the virtues
and failings characteristic of that type
Whether the job will bring out of the depths of
his character the broad and deep wisdom which the
presidency requires, cannot be propheSled.
More than one hundred millions of Americans are
hoping that it may. They wishing him all success
They greet him with all frendliness.
