was playing in the woods and I saw

was playing in the woods and ! saw
you coming, Uncle Wiggily l
thought I would crawl in the hollow
tree and pop out to surprise you.
But after l was down inside the
trunk, your hat blew in the hole
and stopped it up. A little crack
was left, though, for me to look out,
and next saw the Bob Cat coming
10 get you.
Then" went on the puppy dog
boy, when I heard the Bob Cat say
ne was going TO nibble you and when
you pointed at your hat in the tree
and pretended it was a cannon, I
thought would help along the joke.
So I made big BOOM and I kick
ed the hat SO it popped out as if
a real cannon had fired. That's
how it happened
What made the smoke?' asked
Uncle Wiggily.
Il did that, too barked Jackie
with a laugh. There is a lot of
dry, powdery dust inside the hollow
tree. 1 threw paw full of that out
as I kicked your hat and it looked
like cannon smoke"
Indeed it didi" chuckled Uncle
Wiggily. THAT was very clever of
you, Jackie, to scare the Bob Cat
and make him run away"
I'm glad I did" barked the puppy
boy.
And you did me such a favor,
went on Uncle Wiggily, Il want to
do one for you. What kind of a
favor would you like, Jackie?"
An ice cream favor, If you
please" Jackie answered.
You shall have it, promised Mr..
Longears with q laugh. Come with
me TO the five and ten cent store
and we will get some fifteen cent
ice cream"
A little later Uncle Wiggily and
Jackie were seated at a table eating
ice cream. Outside the store was
the Fuzzy Fox. He happened to be
passing and saw Uncle Wiggily and
Jackie go in.
Here is my chance!" whispered
the Fox II guess the Bob Cat didn't
catch Uncle Wiggily, but shall. I'D
go in the store and get him. 1 don't
care about the little dog It's the
rabbit I want
Into the five and ten the Fox
went. He ran up to the table where
Uncle Wiggily was eating the last OF
his ice cream and cried like a rob-
ber: Paws up! Stick UP your paws!"
Uncle Wiggily raised his paws
high above his head.
Now you can't do anything to
mel" snickered the Fox. Your paws
are up in the air and you can't put
any lather on my nose. I have you
now! Hal Ha! Hal" and he laughed
merrily-that is, merrily for a Fox.
But, all of sudden, while Uncle
Wiggily's paws were in the air, the
table began to tip and move and
slide and do all manner Of queer
tricks. The Fox opened his eyes
wide in surprise.
"Are you moving that table, Uncle
Wiggily?' howled the Fox.
mo. l am not" the rabbit gentle
man answered. How could / move
the table with my paws in the air!"
The table tipped again, harder than
before and the Fox howled:
"Oh, this must be magic. Bad
magic for me! I'd better run!' So
away he ran. Even Uncle Wiggily
wondered why the ice cream table
tipped.
I will tell you about it in the next
story which will be called Uncle
Wiggily's funny bath. But please
don't let the snow shovel pull the
teeth out of the comb or it can't
bite the brush.

TOWNSEND

Townsend, March 31-The honey
bee industry about Townsend has
suffered severe loss the past year
and apiarists are endeavoring to
restore the industry to its old time
Importance. The past season has
been probably the severest on rec
ord in this part of the State be-
cause of the loss of thousands of
bees which annually supply our res
idents with honey. One of the
leading apiarists reports that more
than 40 per cent of the hives of
bees perished during the winter,
presumably from starvation. Dur
ing the past summer and fall the
drought killed practically all of
the sources of the supply of food
for the bees it was said, and they
were unable to store sufficient food
in their hives to carry them
through the winter months.
The recent rains have been a
boon to wells that had been dry
since the drought last summer.
The recent snow and copious show
ers have begun to restore these
wells with water and farmers who
have had to haul water to their
stock are joyous.
Sunday, Palm Sunday, was OBJ
served with special music at the
Townsend M. E. Church. The
choir was augmented by the mem
