LET PHIL FINISH

The little bird that fits around the capitol at
Sacramento, the wondrous little bird that tells
many things in so many different places, asserts
now that Phil Swing is being groomed a candidate
for governor in 1880.
However, IF Mr. Young should choose not to be
a candidate,' we think of who would grace
the gubernaora chair any better than the Honorable
Philip Che spells it ID David Swing of Ell Centro.
He has performed in a satisfactory manner dis
trict attorney and judge of the superior court in I'M
peria county; his colleagues at Washington have told
he has been working fool' back there, and
know it without being told.
BUT-Ph has big job and when he gets
through with that it will be time to think of further
honors. When he gets Boulder dam he have
anything he wants far concerned, whether
it be governor of California United States senator,
president of the United States playmate for Charlie
Lindbergh, than which there is whicher."

Uncle Wiggily and Eski, the boy
rabbit from the North Pole, were
down in the burrow, or underground
house, of Mr.. Hare, who had gone
South for the winter, when, all OF
a sudden, Eski saw something. This
l told you in the story last night.
You may remember how Uncle
Wiggilv and Eski slid down hole
through the snow and landed i'll Mr.
Hare S house. Then Eski found some
cake and he and Uncle Wiggily were
having a party when, all at once,
there was a noise at the front door,
which was where the hole came to
an end-the snow hole down which
the two rabbits had slid.
"Oh, Uncle Wiggily! Come here,
quick!" cried Eski again.
"EWhat is it?' asked the old
gentleman rabbit, as he ate the last
bite of his piece of cake. is Baby
Buntv coming to our party
"Babv Bunty.' whispered Eski.
q only wish it was Baby Bunty!
But it ism t. Look. Look up the hole
that YOU and l slid down. What do
YOU see!'
The snow hole was like tunnel
standing on its head. At the bottom
end was the front door of Mr..
Hare house, in which Uncle Wig
gilv and Eski We're having their
party-iust those two. At the upper
end of the hole was out of doors.

And looking down into Mr.. Hare S

his eyes, saw the two rabbits hiding
at the bottom Of the hole and then
the Wolf growled:

kitchen. On the table he saw a large
strong onion which Mr.. Hare had
left behind when he went to Flor

Uncle Wiggily quickly fastened
the onion on the end Of broom

front door, the rabbit gentleman
crushed the onion on a hard lump OF
ice and then held it up as high as
he could on the broom handle. Close

leld the onion and, now that it was
crushed, such strong smell came
from it that it made the Wolf weep.
Big tears came into the eyes Of the
Lad chap as he started down the
hole after the two rabbits. Oh, 50
many tears. Onion tears!
"Stop it! stop! Take that onion
away!' howled the Wolf. But Uncle
Wiggily rubbed it right in the
Wolf $ eyes, making him cry hard
cr than before. And there were 50
many tears that the Wolf r0uldn I
