OSHAWA, ONTARIO, THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 7, 1922 PAGE ELEVEN UNCLE WIGGILY AND BILLIE'S TOP (By: Howard R. Garis.) Once upon a time, hopping through the woods, Uncle Wiggily reached a place where some green ferns grew in clumps around a dingly dell, and he heard a voice reciting this little verse: "Going through the woods one day. I chanced to pass this very way Go up fast and come down slow, Tell me where my top did go!" Next there sounded a noise as if something had fallen through the leaves of a bush thudding on the ground near the bunny. "I hope no one is throwing stones at me," said Uncle Wiggily. 'And yet this a stone, surely enough," and he looked at what had fallen. Mr. Longears was® just going to hop away, thinking. that perhaps the Woozie Wolf might have taken a no- tion to write poetry (which is very bad for a wolf), when, all of a sud- den Billie Bushytail, the squirrel brother of Johnny came scrambling through the bushes. "Is it there, Uncle Wiggily?" chat- tered the squirrel boy eagerly, as he saw the bunny gentleman. "Do you mean the stone that drop- ped almost on my tall, silk hat?" asked the bunny. "Yes, its here. And I'm glad to know that you threw it and not the Wolf, for I know you ® weren't trying to hit me." 'Oh, 1 should say not!" exclaimed Billie. "But that was only a searcher stone I threw." "A searcher stone!" exclaimed the bunny. "What is that "I wanted the stone to'search for my top," went on the Bushytail chap. "I lost my top a little while ago, Uncle Wiggily, when I was running through the woods, and I can't find it anywhere. So I sent a searcher stone after it. But this one doesn't seem to have found my top," and Billie looked around near where the| pebble had fallen. sight. "Will you tell me about a searcher stone?" asked Uncle Wigglly. "Oh, its just this way yent on Billie. When you lose anything you pick up a stone and you say a little verse. You can recite the one I did or another like this: "Stone, stone, fly up high, Maybe almost to the sky. When again you touch the ground, Right there my toy may be found." "Hum," said Uncle Wiggily. "That's a nice little verse but does it do any good?" "Well, sometimes when you chuck a stone over your shoulder it falls just where you lost what you are looking for, and you can find it," the No toy top was in the biggest value. silo, YOU'LL GET GOOD ENSILAGE With a TORCH =a Silo 1 HANDLE the Toronto Hip Roof Silo becatke I want to give my customers You can't have good en- silage unless you have a good Toronto Silos are good silos.

'But this time fit didn't. I going to try again." Billie threw more stones aroufd, but none of them landed near his lost top, and he was beginning to feel that he would never see it again, when Uncle Wiggily said: "I'll make you a top, Billie!" "Oh, will you,' cried the squirrel boy. "Please do!" The bunny gentleman found a round ball off the sycamore or but- tonball tree. Through the brown ball Uncle Wiggily thrust a stick, which he gnawed to a point on one end with his sharp teeth. "There is a top for you!" said Mr. Longears to the squirrel boy, and when Billie wound a string around it and snapped it to the ground, the button ball top spun and whizzed and hummed as nieely as a piece of cheese. "Don't you want 0 try (0 spin the top you made fof me?" asked the squirrel boy of Mr. Longears. "Well as long as Nurse Jane isn't here to say that I'm getting young in my old age, playing with child- ren's toys, I'll spin the top," sald the bunny. He wound it up and set it spinning. And while Uncle Wiggily and Billie were listening to the hum of the top, all of a sudden out from behind a sassafras bush hopped the Fuzzy Fox. "Oh. good luck! Good luck!" bark- ed the fox. *"I'shall have ears to nib- ble now!" and he looked straight at Uncle Wiggily. Billie, the squirrel stooped down and picked up a large stone. As he tossed this into the air he recited this verse: "Stone, stone, now's your chance To make this Fox do a jiggily dance, Tap him on his tender nose, Make him stand on his tip toes!" Up went the searching stone and when it came down it found its way to the end of the nose of the Fox giving him a most hearty bang. "Hi, there!" howied the pad chap. "What's the idea?" "The idea is for you to let Uncle Wiggily alone!" answered Billie. "Skip along now or I'll throw more stones!" And away ran the Fox, not getting a single nibble off Uncle Wiggily's ears. "I'm glad I practised throwing stones to find my top," said the squir- rel boy, as he thagpked the bunny. Mr. Longears was lad, also and if the baby carriage doesn't run in the mud puddle and get its wheels all paint, I'll tell you next about Uncle 'Wiggily and Susie's kite. "Railway News | Vancouver, -- When here Jecetly Mr. Grant Hall, Vice-President P. R., said his trip was simply in the nature of an ordinary inspection tour, and that the company no undertakings in mind connected with it. The new pier work will proceed as soon as possible, As far as he could judge from his trip through the prairies and from reports received, there would be a big crop this year, and the company was making its usual preparations to handle its share of the business expeditiously. Asked 'if the big 'harvest and re. adjustment of freight rates would mean that this company would carry larger quantities of grain here this fall, Mr. Hall replied that it was a matter over fc the Canadian Pacific had no control. "It all rests with the owner of the grain," he said. "We are prepared to haul it eiiher East or West, just as he directs.* Rumor periodically revives the story that the Canadian Pacific is about to electrify its mountain lines in British Columbia. In regard to this Mr: Hell stated, as he has on former visits here, that the compan is still conducting experiments with a view at some later date of for- mulating a poliey in regard to the proposed electrification. The ime ression he gave was that if the plan s pronounced feasible by its experts and the company is ready, it will proceed with the work. In any event this is liable to be a considerable time distant. The vice-president was accom. panied ing iy the British Columbia division by Mr. F. W, Peters, general superintendent. He was met on arrival here by leading officials of Sompany and several personal s. 5 Assiniboia, Alberta. -- A further programme of improvement of lines of the Canadian Pacific in the west was announced by D. C. Coleman, vice-president in charge of Western lines, who is on his way west. The largest item on the list was the relaying with one hundred pound steel of the double track between Igrace and Kenora. A considerable number of bridges will be replaced with more perma- nent structures. With respect to work on new braneh lines it was annotimced 'that the existing gap on the Weyburn- Lethbridge will be closed; 'the 'line from Russell north will' be com- leted; the first fifty miles of the eo northerly line will .be fully equipped for traffic; and the: grading will be continued on the branch lines from Consul east. In this connec tion, Mr. Coleman said: "We had hoped to ammounce a larger pro- me of branch line construction until - the effect of the freight rate reductions just ordered om the revenues of the railway companies can be accurately determined, it is obvious that am ambitious pelicy is out of the question."
