traced. 1t is rather hard upon the lion, who was
in before the danger was apparent, and out after
wards. In point of fact, however, believe he
has at length concluded take hand at all risks,
and the Bar will feel the fangs Of the lion and the
spurs of the rooster while he will be gabbed at by
all the Turkeys.
"Once there a bar tuck a phansy that he'd
like to eat gang Of turkeys, he sot to work to
pick quarrel with the head gobler Of the flock,
about some Of his domestic affairs. The gobler
flowed it was of his business and said he'd not
he dictated TO, not by bar that ever walked on
legs. The bar said he din't want to make no
disturbance. and he hoped the turkeys would mt
oblige him to wiring Of their necks off, but they
must do as he wanted 'em to, or he'd make 'em see
sights. The turkey said he willin to do what
was right, and that he'd never done no,hin else i:
but he would be buried under his roost pole be-
fore he'd allow the bar anybody else to interfere
with his concerns.
"About this time along cum lion and a rooster
They sed it wouldn't do for them to let the bar
up the turkeys. or the next thing they'd know he'd
lie pitchn. into them. So the lion ax'd SIS this a
free fight! 2 The turkey told him st are He said
he imposed upon by the bar, and IL they thought
he was right, they might see him out. Stand your
ground, old hoss,' ses the lion, and 'eount me in.
The rooster jined the lion, and brstled up on the
side Of the turkeys. With that the bar, not mindin'
either of them feather, jumps right over into the
turkey pen. and opened his mouth wide enough ia
swallow the whole party.
The lion backed himself up in a corner, and drap.
PIN his tail between his legs ax'd-'are this free
fight" and the bar told him, 'yes, it are
sWaal,' ses the lon, 'count me h'out.'
What become of the turkeys nobody don't know
yet; but if the bar didn't 'em up, neck and gig
zard, it was because be found 'em tuffer than b.
thought they war.
The lion and the rooster made a terrible tod.
about the matter; but they tuck monstrs good car,
to keep out of reach Of the bar.
