UNCLE v7r~rIrv AND THE
GOLD FISH

When Uncle Wiggily reached his
hollow stump bungalow one after
noon, having been for a hop in the
woods, the rabbit gentleman found
on the table a little nCte, written
on a piece of white birch bark.
''Dear me! hope that note fsn t
from the Fuzzy Fox or the Woozie
Wolf, to say they called when ] was
out, thought Mr.. Longears. Perhaps
i. is a note to say they will call
again-when / am inl Bat i II
keep the door locked.
However, after the bunny gentle
man had read the note, he twinkled
his pink nose and no longer felt
afraid. For the note had been left
by his muskrat lady housekeeper,
Nurse Jane Fuzzy Wuzzv. Nurse
Jane said, in the note:
''Dear Wiggy: am going to be
out for the rest of the afternoon
and evening. / am going Ito the
movies with Aunt Lettie, the goat
lady. You will find something to
eat in the ice box. Please don t
forget to give the goldfish his bah.

PRESIDENTIAL PRIVACY

The good old institution of public handshaking in
white house is abolished The President finds 1t is too
great strain his energy and too wasteful OF ms
time to shake hands with 1000 of of his fellow
citizens every noon So he lets them file through
the executive offices just the but pays no atten
ton to them. They look upon the President at his
desk engaged in important work seeing important
callers, as if they gazing upon movie, and go
away fairly well satisfied. rr
1t is good and sensible arrangement and not al
together an innovation. President Wilson during the
war found it necessary to his energy In the
same way, and barred the general public from the
white house altogether. President Harding threw the
doors wide open, and suffered accordingly from del
uge of children lodge members salesmens conventions
and miscellaneous delegations of home folks towed IN
by officious congressman. 1t was that perhaps as
much as anything else, that out Mr.. Harding.
The custom, despite its venerable origin and popu-
lar appeal, can we'll be dispensed with. What was
proper in country of 100000 people who travelled
little is quite another matter in country of 115,00O-
OOO of whom many thousands visit the national capital
every day.

JAIL FOR BO0TLEGGERS

PADEREW SKIS BEREAVEMENT

Great are the griefs of genius Paderewsk is in

New York on the same errand. So did Paderewskis

but weep The specialist held out hope. Pngy was
doomed.
To grasp the full measure of this woe, the reader
must realize that Pingy is Pekngese spaniel,
the gift of Chinese prince. The reader has doubtless
observed the way such imitation dogs have of twlmng
themselves around the heart-srings of artists Every
operate company travels with large Pekngese popu-
lation and devased if anything happens to one of
the little dears.
The chief reason for relating this mournfu tale,
however, is for the hygienic moral involved Plgny,
