| UNCLE WIGGILY AND THE CO- NUT GRATER Copyright, 1921, 'by McClure News- peper Syndicate (By Howard R, Garis "Bring me a cocoanut from tht store wheh you come back!" called bunny rabbit gentleman as he start- ed out of his hollow stump bung- alo one morning, "A cocoanut, Nurse Jane?" Uncle Wiggily repeated. 'Are you and Mrs. Wibblegobble, the duck lady, going to toss it about and have a lame of ball " Nothing of the sort!" answered the muskrat lady with a half sniff. I'm going to make a cocoanut cake, Get me a wgole cocoan®t plaase, I'll crack it with the stove lifter-- or something, grate the cotcoanut meat and put it o nop of a cake. You needn't "eat any if you don't want to," she added sort of smiling be- hind her wiskers, Oh, I'll want to all right!" quickly said Uncle Wiggily, "I just love cocoanut cake--that and cherry pie, You couldn't make a cherry pie could you" he asked hopeful like. "Not this time of year," Miss Fuzzy Wuzzp made answer. I'll be doing very well to make a cocoanut cake. Don't forget to bring back the nut." Uncle Wiggily said he'd remem- ber and away he hopped, over the fields and through the woods. He was looking for an adventure, but as he could not seem to find any he thought he would waste no more time. "I'll get the cocoanut and take it to Nurse Jane," said tre bunny. 'Perhaps while she makes the cake ap adventure may happen." And it did. I'll tell you about it, On his way to the cocoanut store, kept by a2 Monkel Doodle gentle- man. Uncle Wiggily hopped under a pine tree. And, as he did so, one of the long pine cones dropped off and; falling, !s¢ratched 'the bunny rabbit on the end of his pink, twink- ling nose. "My, how rough you are!" said Uncle Wiggily to tre pine cone. "Oh, pray excuse me, Mr. Long- ears," said the pine tree. [I didn't mean to drop my rough cone on you. You see, I have'so many, and some are dropping all the while, that it is hard to keep track of them. I bope I didn't hurt you much." "Oh, no, only a little," answered will happen!" 4 Tren he hopped on to the store, where he bought a large cocoanut for Nurse Jane. Reaching his hollow stump bungalo safely. Uncle Wig- gily helped his muskrat housekeep- er break open the nut by pounding on it with the axe. Nurse Jane tried the stove lifter but it was not strong enough. When the nut was opened, Miss Fuzzy Wuzzy took out tre hice clean white meat, from the inside. and started to make the cake. But she had no more than mixed up the sug- ar water, milk, flour, eggs and so on, than she called: "Oh, Wiggy, dear! The cocoa- nut grater! I forgot to tell you to bring me ac ocoanut grater! My old one is broken, and without a grater I cannot shrtd the cocoanut 80 it can be put on the cake! Hop back to the store, like a good rabbit, and get me a rough grater!" "Oh ho! -I know something that will do just as well," said the bunny well," said the bunny. "Something that will grate the cocoanut very fine indeed." "None of your tricks, now Wiggy!" laughed the muskrat lady. 'This isn't a play party for the animal children, remember, I must habe the cocoanut grated properly.'b nd I'll get you something to do i with, and P won't have to go tg the store either," said the bunny. "What will you Nurse Jane, "A rough cone from the pine tree," | was the answer. "From the way | one scratched my nose I'll say they | are rough enough to grate tre hard- | est cocoanut that ever was." Off through the woods hopped the buhnp rabbit gentleman, not very far from his hollow stump bungalo, and soon he stood heneath the tree scraped his pink twinkling nose. "Do you mind if I take some of your rough cones?" asked the bunny, "I shall be most happy to have you," whigpered the pine tree, Uncle Wiggily gathered up two cones, ond he was just hopping away when all of a sudden a rough voice called: your ears!" and trere was the Woozy Wolf. ; *I haven't a moment!" quickly said Uncle Wiggily. '"Here!! take that!" And he rubbed one of the rough pine cones up and down on the nose of the wolf so hard that the unpleasant creature gave a loud howl, turned a double back pepper- saunlt, and somersault ober his tail and ran away. "That settles him," laughed the bunny. Then he hopped home with the pine tree cone cocoanut grater, and Nurse Jape made a cake that was perfectly lovely. But the Wolf didn't have any. get??" asked doesn't pinch its finger in the straw- berry jam, and squeel like a rubber ball, I'll tell you next about Uncle Wiggily and the toothpicks. HOW MARK TWAIN BOOKS, WROTE Mark Twain had his own method of book writing. eep two or more half finished ooks on the stocks; neglected and baking in the sun. This was not indolence, but intention. While a book wrote itself he was an absorbed amanuensis, but when it called up- on him for imagination and reflec- tion he dropped it like a coal. He had reached the middle of "Tom Sawyer," script, according to his reminiscences in Harper's, when he found that his story wouldn't move a step. At first he was amazed and distressed, but he simply pigeon-holed it. Two years later he took it out.

He would | not publish anything that he did not | think first rate. At Rouen and Paris he destroyed manuscripts esti« mated at magazine rates to have been worth §25,000, because they were not up to standard. '"'Ordin- arily,"" he said, 'there would have been no temptation present and I would not think of publishing doubt- ful stuff, but I was heavily in debt then and the temptation to mend my condition was so strong that I burn- ed the manuscript to get rid of it."

After some busy years as barris- ter and business man---his husigess experience was won as a bank, rail- way, and docks director, Lord Knuts- ford entered on hospital work 25 years ago, at the age of 36, hy being called in to reorganize Popular Hos- pital, There he won the first compli- ment on his gifts as a beggar. Meet- ing two United States tourists on a bus, he invited them to view the hos- pital: -- When the tour was over and the chairman pointed to a money-hox they each put in a sovereign and stood and looked at him. Then one remarked in a quiet, slow way, with a knowing smile, "Sure, you got in you the instincts of a--swindler." and the other followed with, "You'd do do well out West if you weren't shot in the first week." In connection with a Million Half- Crowns Fund for the London -Hos- pital, he appears to have had a nar- rew escape from being in the dock on a' charge of forgery. A number o_o nh. of dummy half-crowns were made, one side being a copy of the coin and the other bearing the words "Thank you for a real one." The Public Prosecutor requested the attendance of Lord Knutsford. He went, and was informed that he had grievously infringed the law of the realm by uttering and issuing these replicas--that it was illegal to make and use such dies, and that the dies must be handed over at once, the replicas called in, and no more issued, "Impossible," sald Lord Knuts- ford, cheerfully, "we're in the mid- dle of our appeal!" "The alternative is Bailey," was the dry reply. "By Jove! Nothing could be bet- ter--it would be the best advertise- ment the 'London' ever had," was the irresponsible answer. 'It would make the appeal. I'll risk it!" And that he held to, and in the end the Public Prosecutor agreed to a Nelsonian blindness, provided the dies were handed over and all re- plicas were defaced by punch marks before issue. And here is a good retort to a woman who wrote: -- "1 am sending you my last night's' bridge winnings. They ought to he more but my partner revoked." Within an hour she had a prepaid telegram :-- "Thanks, Please name and address." the Old send partner's Some good stories are told of the patients.
