UNCLE wIGGILY AND THE
LITTLE BOY

For a moment or two, after he
had been thrust into the cage In
the pet shop with his city cousin'
Mr.. Lettuce, poor Uncle Wlggiiy
did not know what to do. His ears
still tingled where the pet shop
man had lifted him by them,
though the man didn't want to
hurt Uncle Wiggily.
Then. all of sudden, Uncle
Wiggily heard the man speak. And
as it happened the old rabbit gen
tleman could understand what the
pet shop keeper said. And what tas
l,et shop keeper said was this.

queer rabbit this timel'

the pet shop man.
Look herel'' he called and she
came from where she had been
feeding bananas to monkey and
stood in front of the cage where
Uncle Wiggily was. shut in with
Cousin Lettuce and some other
store bunnies.
.'Oh, l should say you had!
What a queer rabbit" cried the
wife.
And no wonder, for Uncle Wig
gily wore his tall, silk hat, his black
coat and red trousers. He was
nicely dressed, for when ae started
ont that morning to come to the
city 10 visit his cousin he had
thought he had better look as
stylish as possible and he put on
his best clothes.
However do you suppose Il

how did he conc to be in our

II think this new rabbit must
belong to some children, answer
ed the man, "and they dressed
him like this, as if he was n a
circus. But | guess the poo. old
bunny got tired of being with the
children and ran away. He must
have known we kept rabbits SO he
turned in here
"And look!' cried the woman.
'.He has a basket of lunch!'
"Well, what do you know about

For he was a jolly good fellow even
if he did keep animals shut up in
wire cages for pets. "This sure is

demonstrated by the fact that no

deficit left from the national cam
paign Of 1924 until the spring of
