UNCLE wTGGILY AND SAM
MES .GLIMMER

Once upon time, in the after
noon of an early winter day, I'm
Gle Wiggiiy found himself hopping
past the Hollow Stump school
where the Lady Mouse Teacher
heard the lessons of the animal chill
dren.
"Ah hal" said the rabbit gen
tleman to himself, rs he gave his
pink nose an extra twinkle to keep
it from freezing. 81 shall stop in
and see the Lady Mouse. All the
children must have gone home by
this time, for il is late. But the
Lady Mouse will be there clean
ing off the blackboarGs, or some
thing like that, and | can help h~t.
So Uncle Wiggilv hoped into the
Hollow Stump school. But once in
side he saw not only the Lady
Mouse, but Sammie Litt.etail, the
rabbit boy, standing in a corner. l
don t mean to say that the Lady
Mouse was ia the cOrner-just Sam
ME.
"Oh. how do you do, Uncle Wig
gily, - squeaked the Lady Mouse.
q M fine, thank you; how are
you'' asked the bunny. "And how
is Sammie
"Sammie isn't so good" spoke
the Lady Mouse Teacher, while the
little rabbit boy blushed rather red
behind his ears. "Not that he
isn't well, - she said, "but lie has
been bit bad today. That's why
l had him stay after school and
stand in the corner.
~What did Sqmmie do?' asked
Mr.. Longears.
"You may tell. Uncle Wiggilv,
If you please, Sammie,'' squeaked
the Lady Mouse.
"I-now-I was playing with my
glimmer in class, stammered Sam
mic.
"'What S a glimmer'" asked Unt
Gle WiggiIv puzzled like.
"It's Il little looking glass that
giimmers and giistens i'll the sun, y

PROGRESS IN VOTING

In spite of heroic efforts made by party workers
and dislnterested patriots to get out the vote on cleo
on day. the result shows that scarcely onehaf OF the
qualified citizens in the United States voted The Ma
tonal Civic Federation wants to know why and is max
ing national canvas to that end groundwork for
effective efforts hereafter.
The situation is lamentable, but by means fatal
matters stand 1t represents big gain for demo-
cracy and better representation than ever before.
Time was when might say, only one man in
country voted. That was the king. An absolute mon
arch elected himself and his word settled nation
al issue.
There was gain when few powerful mobiles made
royalty divide up its sovereign power with them That
made perhaps dozen votes, or hundred.
Later on the propertied middle classes gained
the franchise and elected paraments to
represent them and curb the king still more Eventu
av all free men could vote, in counties interested in
freedom Then all men could vote. And now all wo-
vote.
During all this political progress, there have al
ways been voters-even among kngs-who failed to use
their franchise But the big thing has teen the gain
in spreading the privileges and responsibilities of gov
ernment.
Nearly 3O,OO0O00 men and women shared in the
last election That means than one-fourth OF the
population and an average of about one and a halt
votes per family.
