Patience In the end la winer When I really want a dinner —Hooty the 0#1. Patience and Impatience. Tn the little, underground tunnel little Whitefoot the Wood Mouse sat with his heart going pita pat. "My stars' My stars!" he exclaimed. "That was a narrow escape! Yes, sir: that was a narrow escape. Hooty the Owl almost got me that time. I saw him just In time. It Is a lucky thing for me that I was close to the en trance to this little tunnel. Goodness. 1 At last Whitefoot decided there was nothing to fear. what a fright! I guess I'll haw to stay here quite a while. It won't do to take any chances with Hooty the Owl about.” But It wasn’t long before Whitefoot was quite over his fright. His heart stopped going plt-a-pat, pit a-pat You see Whitefoot has so many enemies looking for him that ho becomes used to sudden frights of this kind. He is terribly frightened at the moment, but is soon over it. So it wasn’t long before Whitefoot was becoming Im patient to start out again. He was hungry. Whitefoot grew more and more Im patient. He went to the entrance of that little tunnel and poked his pret ty little noso out. Presently he ven tured to poke his whole head out. There he sat. looking and listening. All was still. It was still as only the Green Forest can be at night. It was moonlight. The moonlight lay In white patches In all directions. Be tween the white patches were the Black Shadows. It was Just such a night as Whitefoot the Wood Moure loves. It was pust such a night as TiYnmy the Flying Squirrel, Jumper the Hare and the other little people, who like to he abroad nt night In stead of In daylight, love. Whitefoot's stomach kept remind ing him that It was empty. So his Ini patience grew. Hooty the Owl hadn't hooted again, and this made White foot think that Hooty probably had gone to aome other part of the Green Forest, lie ventured wholly out. but ■till he hesitated to leave the safety of that little hole In the ground. That hole was right In the moonlight. Meanwhile, sitting on his tall watch tower was Hooty the Owl Hooty was patient. He felt sure that Whitefoot would come out if only he waited long enough. He could see that little hole in the ground from where he sat. He saw White- J foot's head when Whitefoot poked It out of the hole. He saw Whitefoot | when he came out and sat down ] close by thdt hole. The sight of Whitefoot made Hooty hungrier than ever. But still he was patient. He guessed that Whitefoot also was hun gry. He would wait for Whitefoot to get away from that hole. It was a great temptation to swoop down at him as he sat there in the moonlight. It certainly was a great temptation. But Hooty had learned hy experience that patience gains what Impatience loses, and so he patiently waited and waited. At last Whitefoot decided there was nothing to fear. He darted over to the nearest Black Shadow. At that in stant Hooty spread those great silent wings of his and like nothing so much as a great moving Black Sha dow himself sailed out from his watch towpr. (Copyright, 1924.)

A plan to get money for the La Foliette campaign from ’ niversity ot Wisconsin alumni by use of La Toilette's association with that uni versity, has aroused the ire of Wis consin graduates in Omaha. Many of the Wisconsin alumni in Omaha already have received an ap peal for funds “for the sake of old V. W." This appeal is mailed from Chicago on the stationery of the I-a Foliette Wheeler national progressive committee. "Nothing would Increase the in fluence and spread the fame of the university more than La Foliette s election," declares this appeal for funds, to which Is attached a blank check. Herman L. Ekern signs the letter as direct! r of the La Foliette finance committee. Wisconsin men and women inter viewed on this unusual method of raising funds expressed a 'combina tion of anger, mortification and amusement. “Madder Than a Hornet.” “I am maddpr than a hornet over this thing,” said E. G. McGilton, at torney. “The minute I received this appeal for funds I wrote a letter stat ing my disapproval of the thing. I stated that my sympathies were not with La Foliette in his campaign; that I cons dered this business of ap pealing to Wisconsin loyalty In had taste, and that Instead of taking pride in Igi Follette's campaign Wis consin alumni should blush with shame. I believe that other mem bers of the Wisconsin club here will feel the same way about it.” “I consider this appeal abomina ble.” said M. A. Hall, another Omaha attorney. “Such tactics are entirely unwarranted. I cannot approve, de spite the fact that while at Wiscon sin I became quite well acqua nted with Mr. and Mrs. La Foliette and have a high personal regard for them.” “I feel both amused and mortified at this u-<e of the university associa tion,'’ said Mrs. C. R. Belden, an other Wisconsin alumnus. “Will Do School No Good.” "I wouldn't think of subscribing tc it," sad Sidney Gordon “I'm not in favor of the method, and It certainly can t do the school any good.” A. S. Ritchie, president of the Wis consln club and another personal friend of La Foliette, announced that despite his friendship for the candi date he would not consider contribut ing as a result of this appeal. "I don’t think it will be of any avail, although a few sheckeis might be forthcoming from alumni living in Wisconsin,” he said. “I don't know this Ekern who signs the letter and I don't think he Is connected in any way with the university." The letter not only asks for con tr.butions—it goes further and urges that the contributions be “substan tial" ones. It asks that the checks be made payable to W. T. Rawieigh. na tional treasurer, at the Hotel Mor rison, Chicago. On the enclosed blank check Is the touching appeal, in large black letters: “For Old U. W. ” The approach Is also adept, the letter beginning as follows: “The Uni versity of Wisconsin gains immeasur ably In prestige by the candidacy of Robert M La Foliette. U. W., '79, for president of the United States." The letters are typewritten separately to each alumnus. In Omaha there are about -»n mem bers of the Wisconsin club.
