UNCLE WIGGILY' S TALL
HAT

Once upon time Buster and
Buster, who were little boy and
girl rabbits of Uncle Wiggily, had
the measles and were quite spotted.
Buster, being IA rabbit boy, had the
spots worse than did Duster WHO
was little girl and was So named
because she often Lclped her mother
by dusting.
So after Buster and Duster were
well, and had no more spots on
them, Uncle Wiggily said one day:
u think | shall take them to the
movies. Tomorrow they Will have to
go back to school, as they are both
over the measles. But they have not
had much fun staying home, so l
viii give them a little treat
"Yes, do said his wife.
"Oh, goodic!" shouted Buster
and Dustcr when they heard the
good news and soon they were sit
ting in the movie theater. Now part
Of the movie was about magical
dog who could do all sorts Of tricks.
Gnc ot his tricks was to take a tall
silk hat, just like the one Uncle
Wiggily wore and which he had
used to gather cranberries, and
that magical dog made the strangest
things come out Of the tall hat.
"And the funny part Of ii, 3"
said Duster after the show, was
that there wasn't thing in the hat
to start with! Not thing"
For so it seemed to the bunny
children watching the magical
movie. The dog performer held up
the hat 50 they could see there was

TEXAS TO THE FRONT

This latest report from Texas Just about settles
it, Even the hens in the Lone Star state have decided
to go for Hoover, Of them going far to pro-
duce egg the shell of which the initials
"H. H." as plainly though they had been blown in
as a name is blown in bottle.
When it gets to the point where Dame Nature
begins to root for Hoover and in heretofore Demo-
cratic stronghold like Texas it surely looks bad for
the Bourbons. We tempted to wonder if this here
egg will not offset the backslidng OF the Hon George
W. Norris. If it will pull Texas into the Hoover
column it will than offset the possible loss OF
Nebraska, though the latter is not at all a certainty
Texas is apparently capturing the laures once
held by Winsed Connecticut for producing freaks Of
nature. 1t astOunded science some months ago by
pulling live toad from the interior Of
stone easily magician would pull a rabbit from
a silk hat. Now it produces Hoover eggs and for
years past it has been the acknowledged home Of
the only and original "Old Gray Mare"
All it needs to complete good menagere is the
Democratic party's goat. Quien sabe?

away do in lieu of manning the pumps scrubbing the

tive in the City of Brotherly Love.
