Longears First he tells us to get
on and then he says he will push
Us off. I'm not going to be pushed
off like that"
Perhaps he doesn't mean it,"
whispered Nurse Jane.
"All I am going to do" said Un-
Gle Wiggily as the animal children
laughed, "is to have you two ladies
sit on the sled. Then I will sit OIL
behind you and I'll push us all off
the top OF the hill so we will start
sliding down."
"Oh, all right" said his wife.
"It sounds NIGEL" squeaked Nurse
Jane.
"All aboard!" called Uucle Wig
gily, like the conductor of a train.
"All aboard on the sled!"
Mrs. LongearS sat in front, Nurse
Jane sat behind her and Uncle
Wiggily stood up at the back, his
paws On Nurse James shoulders to
give him a push so they could start
down hill.
Here we go!" cried the rabbit,
He ran a little, pushed hard and
then jumped on behind tie musk

"Ohee-e-e-e-e!" cried Mrs. Long

Uncle Wiggily. This is fun! We
must coast fast"

Faster and faster slid the sled
with the animal children skipping
out of the way to give Uncle Wig
gily room. Then, all of a sudden,
the sled went off the hill and riop-
ped into a big bank Of snow. Mrs.
Longears and Nurse Jane tried to
scream but they couldn't. Their
mouths were filled with snow. So
was Uncle Wiggily's. But when they
got out of the snow, the two ladies
laughed and liked the coaSting fun
so much that they helped pull the
sled to the top of the hill and down
they went agaln. Oh, they had a

UNCLE WIGGILY'S COASTING
FIN

There was so much snow in
Woodland, near the Orange Ice
Mountains where Uncle Wiggily
lived, that all the animal folk were
hopping, skipping or running
through tie snow tunnels, hurrying
cut of the way of snowballs, dodg-
ing icicles or sliding down hill. The
animal boys and girls were the ones
who did most of the coasting.
There was never so much fun"
laughed Baby Bunty as she threw
herself on ter sled and slid all the
way down the long hill.
Isn't Uncle Wiggily coming out
to have some coasting fun?" asked
Johnnie Bushytail, squirrel boy.
Il guess so," answered Buster, a
boy rabbit as he and his brothers,
Custer, Muster and Duster made d
bob and went flying down the long,
white slope. He'll be here pretty
soon."

Don't you want some coasting

"Oh 1 should love it," squeaked
the muskrat lady. Are you going

"If you want me to-" Uncle Wig

DON'T STOP THEM

One of the recent tragic" news items
which should give a minimum of concern
TO the people of the United States is the
announcement that Harvey Bailey and
Albert Bates have started a hunger
strike. q "a,
The two gentlemen are inmates of the
federal penitentiary at Leavenworth,
having been placed there after long ca
reers of crime including murder, robbery,
kidnapping and escapes from prison.
Both are under life sentences and are
in solitary confinement. According to re-
ports they have refused to eat and pro-
pose to starve themselves to death rather
than to submit to their present plight.
1t is difficult to understand why there
should be any concern about their decis-
ion and we don't know that there is any.
If Bailey and Bates want to starve them
selves they should be given every oppor-
tunity to do so. We dare say there are
any number of victims of their criminal
ity who would be most willing to assist
them to hurry up the matter
This view of their decision, of course,
is not a unanimous one. There will
doubtless be plenty of sob-sisters, cham
pions of liberty and sociologists who will
create demand in behalf of Bailey and
Bates painting them as we'll meaning
men who happened to make slip.
For the benefit of these it might be
pointed out that Mr.. Bailey is the man
who boasted he would be out of Leaven-
worth by Christmas and he didn t mean
by legitimate means either. He has op-
emily Haunted the laws of his country,
has caused death and suffering to many
innocent persons and long since outlaw
ed himself from any right to demand
sympathy or mercy What is said of him
applies also to Mr.. Bates.
If they persist in their determination
to pass up the prison rations, that is
their privilege and it should not be de-
MED them.

FINE PROGRESS
 BEING MADE ON
 CORNERSTONE
Roof Completed, Stucco Finish Done, Plasterers
 Doing Interior Walls

Fine progress is being made on the new building for the Pioneers Home at Sitka and the oldtimers will almost certainly be in their new quarters by January 1, ac- cording to Filler Hanson, Superin- tendent, who arrived here Sunday to confer with Gov. John w. Troy. Taking advantage of fine weather, the Warrack Construction Company has rushed outside work to good advantage, he said. !
 The roof is completed and the stucco finish virtually on, leaving almost nothing to be done on the exterior of the building. Plasterers are now doing the interior walls
 The contractor is doing fine job, and the building is one in which the Territory can take a great deal of pride, MT. Hanson de- clared. While no dedication plans have been made yet, he hopes the entire Legislature, which will con- vene here next January, will find it possible to attend it. !
