UNCLE WIGGILY'S PARTY

. Bling. That is the sound Uncle
Wiggily made when he came to the
end of the snow-holc down which
he had fallen when he was out walk
ing IN the storm with his new rubber
boots.
ker bunk" That was the noise
Uncle Wiggily's tall silk hat made
as II bounced up off his head, when
lie sat down SO suddenly, and then
the lat i;mmed itself down over
the rabbit gentleman 5 ears and
eyes. That 5 one bad thing about
taI- silk hats. They re all right as
long as they stay on top Of your
head. But when they come down
over your face its like having 4
masquerade ON for Hailowc 'cn.
"Dcar me-" exclaimed the rabbit
gentleman as h. found his hat
pressed down over lis face 50 hard
that he could neither sec nor hear
very well. = am in quite a pickle, -
He really didn't mean that he
was inside IA dill pickle or a mustard
pickle or anything like that. What
Uncle Wiggily was really inside Of
was a long snow.holc, like tunnel
standing on its head, He had stepped
into the hole and fallen down it
while walking on top Of hill to
find an adventure. But whom the
rabbit said he was in a "picklc'
he meant he was in trouble.
And 50 ne was, for there lie was
at the bottom Of the snow-hole and
with his tall silk hat jammcd down
over his ears and eyes and almost
over his mouth.

that. lie tried to remember where
h" had heard that deep, booming
voice before.
1t may be one of the Bad
Chaps, . thought the rabbit. 81 may
have fallen down the chimney hole
of the den of the Fox or Bob Cat
and IT may be one of them who is
talking about a party. If that is so
| can easily guess what kind of Il
party ii will be. Dear me-, If | could
only get this hat off my eyes l could
see whcrc | am and who this big,
gruft chap is talking to mc,'
Again Uncle Wiggily tried, but
he could not pull up the hat which
had jammcd down over his face
when he suddenly stopped falling
and sat down hard at the bottom
of the hole. And then the booming
voice laughed again and said:
Never mind the hat, Uncle Wig
gily. 1t doesn't cover your mouth
and YOU can eat with the hat over
your face. And after all ut party
the eating is the main thing. Here,
have a bitc!'
Uncle Wiggily felt something
thrust into his mouth Before he
knew it he had taken a bite and
WASH t he glad when he found he
was eating Il piece of cherry pie.
How good it was! Then that boom
ing laugh sounded AGAIN and Uncle
Niggilv cried:
"Plcasc. if you won help mt
pull the hat up off my eyes will
YOU cut u little hole in it, like a
door or window, So / can sec who
You are VIII YOU do that -
"Why, yes answered the voice.
II will. But must be careful when
| cut Il hole in your tail silk hat
that | don t scratch your pink nose.
Hold still now"
Uncle Wiggilv waited and won.

thought Mr.. Longcars as he pulled
and tugged at the stiff hat, that
was like Il piece Of stovcpipc, to get
it up off his face. But his nose was
in the way and the hat was caught
fast.
"What am going to do"
thought poor Uncle Wiggily. -

ANTI-SMITHS COUNT
ON FOLKS BACK HOME
BY FRANCIS M. STEPHENSON

NhGNN1O EMs . EA II CIV 0OAN
ASSOCIATED Press Staff Writer)
Houston, June 26.-(R-Battling
ito the end Of the road" the thin
line Of anti-Smith forces were count
ing today on q reaction back home"
to stiffen the wavering ranks
threatening to decide the issue for
the New York governor in the DEM
ocratic convention.
It has developed that part of the
strategy Of the southern drys has
been q campaign wit, home folks,
and they insist there has been a
veritable deluge Of kilograms pour
ing in during the last few hours to
delegates protesting against Smith.
At the same time, Senator Reed,
Of Missouri, is going ahead with his
drive, % he promised, and his mod
est room high up in the Rice hotel
continues to be the center of many
a conference during the last ditch
battle.
Reed and his friends are CENTER
ing their attention on Oklahoma al
ways counted by them as their state,
which has delayed until tomorrow its
decision on how to cast its first
vote. Both Smith and Reed men on
this outpost delegation Of the south
ern states were claiming victory to-
day. The twenty votes are bound
by the majority under the unit rule.
Decision Of Kansas. Texas and
Mississippi last night to stand pat
for their favorite sons in the open
ing round put new heart into the
opposition which is convinced that
il it can withstand the New York
er's onslaught for three or four bal
lots the tide will turn.

for a position before It, the vice
presidential spotlight threw spas
modic beams today upon three or
four persons, perhaps lingering
longest upon Senator Robinson of
Arkansas, the Democratic leader in
the senate.
Meanwhile. with new names still
coming to the fore with newly ar
irving delegations, there arose q
possibility that II Governor Smith
were given the presidential nomina-
ton he would throw the race for
second place into q grand free-for-
all with the selection to be made on
the floor Of the convention.
A tomb like silence has lowered
over the lair Of Tammany in Hous-
ton from which have emerged only
vague limitations that while Evans
Woollen, Of Indiana, and Newton ID.
Baker, secretary Of war under
President Wilson, were favored by
some Of the Smith leaders, probably
more Of them were looking over the
Robinson recor !. At the same time
there came still other report. that
il their candidate should be given
first place on the ticket, he might
request the convention to select his
running mate in an open fight on
the floor.
New rumbles of thunder echoed
from the central states and the west
last night a. delegates not yet in
urcd to Houston heat launched new
vice presidential booms for Repre-
sentative Rainey Of Illinois, and
Richard v. Taylor, a member of the
interstate commerce commission,
