& - "NCLE WIGGILY AND THE LIGHT- NING BUGS (By Heward R. Garis) 'Here's the molasses jug, Uncle Wiggily!" called Nurse Jane Fuzzy one day as she came to the door gentleman's hollow of the rabbit stump bungalow, "The molasses jug? asked the bunny. "For molasses, ol course," said Nurse Jane. "I am going to make some molasses cookies, hut I can't without molasses. When you start out looking for an adventure please hring me back some molasses." "I will," kindly promised Uncle Wiggily. So he put his red, white and blue striped rheumatism crutch through the handle of the molasses jug and away he hopped, It did not take Uncle Wiggily very long to get the jug filled with mo- lasses, and then he hopped along to look for an adventure, He was about a mile from his hol- 'ow stump bungalow when all of a gudden the hunny gentleman heard some voices saying: "Oh, how hungry we are! Oh, for a bit of sweet honey to keep us from starving!" : "This sounds like trouble, thought Uncle Wiggily. "I wonder if 1 can be of any help?" He looked through the bushes and on a green mossy log he saw a num- ber of little yellow hugs clustered together like flies around a sugar howl. " "What is the matter, my dear bugs?" asked Uncle Wiggily, know: ing he had nothing to fear from the little creatures, "Oh, we are so hungry!" sadly sighed the yellow bugs. The hees have taken all the honey from the flowers and there is none left for us, Of, course the bees didn't do it to harm us, They didn't know that we would soon be looking for some- thing to eat." "How about molasses?" asked Uncle Wiggily. "I haven't any honey hut here is a jug full of mo- lasses." "Gh, that will be just lovely!" said the largest yellow bug. "Please give us some of your molasses, and if we can ever do you a favor, we shall be most happy." . Well,. of course Uncle Wiggily never thought that the little yellow bugs could ever do him a favor, but you just wait and see, The bunny gentleman poured some of the molasses out on a flat, stone and the insects gathered around it and sipped it up as they would have done with honey. "Oh, how good Uncle Wiggily is!" buzzed the bugs as they stopped themselves from being hungry with the molasses, - Away hopped the bunny and soon he was at the hollow stump bung- alow. "Did What for you have an adventure?" asked Nurse Jane, as she began to make the molasses cookies. "A little one with yellow bugs," answered the bunny. That evening, after supper, when it was just getting dark, Nurse Jane | gave Uncle Wiggily some of the new- to ly baked cookies to take over Grandfather Goosey Gander. Down the path through the woods hopped the bunny uncle, but he was no more than half way to Grandpa Goosey's before all of a sudden, out from behind a lollypop bush sprang the bad old Fox. "Oh, ho!" snarled the fox. smell something good!" "1 "Perhaps it is the molasses cook- ies,"" spoke Uncle Wiggily, as politely as one ever speaks to a Fox. "No! No!" barked the bad chap "I smell your ears! Nice long ears Uncle Wiggily! them! I'll nibble them all off!" "Oh, please don't!" begged the bunny gentleman. "Yes, I shall!" 'snarled the Fox. He crept close to the bunny and though Upcle Wiggily offered the Fox the molasses cookies, the bad chap kept howling that he wanted ears. Then all of a sudden, Uncle Wig- gily felt something crawling on his little creatures seemed settling down on neck. Then a whole lot of some hungry I'm going to nibble his head, And, just 'as the Fox stretched out his paws to grasp Uncle Wiggily's ears, a flash of fire seemed to break out all 'around the bunny's head. 'Oh, your ears are on fire! Your ears aré on fire!" howled the IFox. "If 1 touch them I'l] be burned!" and away he ran as fast as he could go, not hurting the bunny at all "My ears on fire! How can that be?" asked the bunny aloud. © "We did it!" cried a lot of little voices. We are the lightning bugs to whom you kindly gave molasses, We heard you. were in trouble, and we flew here and perched on your head and, by showing our lights, madé the Fox believe your ears were on fire." : 'Say! That was a good trick!" laughed Uncle Wiggily, and when the lightning hugs flew away, after Mr. Longears had thanked them, the rabbit took the cookies to Grandpa Goosey, So from this we learn that light- ning bugs are of some use in this world after all. And if the rag doll doesn't try to go roller skating on a milk bottle, and make the baker's horse laugh, I'll tell you next ahont Uncle Wiggily and the Skippy Fish Masquerade At S.-Oshawa Church Greatly Enjoyed A very pretty masquerade Hal- lowe'en party was the program at the South Oshawa Methodist Ep- worth League on Monday night. The 'school room was suitably decorated with lanterns, pumpkins, black cats and other Hallowe'en decorations, and with the shaded lights the effect was very weird, Some of the cos- tumes were very fine, and all showed a great deal of ingenuity. Kenneth Cunningham carried off the prize for the best costumg, He was dressed as a very fashionable young lady-- his 'make-up was splendid ang his disguise complete. The Dumbells Review of 1922 are lacking a good performer. As a prize, Mr. Cunning- ham received a box of 'facial pow- der." Jay Goyne carried off the prize, a doll, for the most hideous costume. He tried to represent an old lady of about one hundred years past--his make-up was "Them days is gone forever," and it was surely ludicrous and complete. Miss Mona Hurlbert, as '"'the Hallowe'en Lady" received the prize for the prettiest costume. In the guessing contest, Miss Lot- tie Arnold took the prize for identi- fying correctly the largest number in costume. Lottie Arnold, Dorothy McMillen and Kathleen Clapper were even in the contest, but in the draw Miss Arnold received the lucky num- ber. Following was the short program given:--Reading, Miss Lottie Arnold, piano solo, Norman Williams, read- ing, Miss Ethel Johnson, solo, Miss Mona Hurlbert, reading, Master An- drew Liske. Games followed the program, and the evening closed with the serving of refreshments, the chief item of which was pumpkin pie. J e at Ladies' e Best Ever Held Surpassing all previous events of a similar nature ever held in Whit- by, the annual masquerade of the Ontario Ladies' College, held Friday -| evening, proved a great success. .| Practically all the students, num- bering 125 took part in the perfor- mance, there being 250 persons pre- sent. The costumes worn by the masqueraders were original and div- ersified, ranging from the grotesque to the aesthetic, from the weird to the dainty, and elicited much merri- ment and admiration from the spec- tators. In addition to the masquerade, an excellent musical program was pre- sented, including a number of folk »| dances by the students. Miss Jean Hepburn was awarded the prize for most beautiful costume, which was DAUGHTER WAS WEAK AND NERVOUS Mother Gave Her Lydia E.

HOW SHE VOTED . At a luncheon in New York Dr.| Lyman Abbott told a woman suffrage | story, "I had heard a lot," he said, 'about the success of woman suffrage in Australia; so, meeting an Australian woman one day I asked: 'How did von vote, madam, at the last election? The Australian woman answered, with a simper: 'In my mauve pannier gown sir, with a large mauve hat trimmed with mauve ospreys.'" THE DIFFERENCE Judge Kenesaw Landis," of baseball | fame, had one day before him a par- ticularly mean thief who pleaded kleptomania. In sentencing the man Judge Lan- dis said: "The only difference between a kleptomaniac and an ordinary thief, it seems to be, is that the kleptomaniac 'an afford to pay for what he steals."
