L. NOW II CaHlc 10 pass III the udA y
after the end of the wars between the
Unionites and the Confedites, which
for long years did make Contractors
to grow fat, and Buyers of Gold to
wax lean.
2. Even in the days when the Tan
ner of Galeua had come to rule over
the Democrites, and the Radicites,
the Shoddyites, and the other ties.
3. There came forth a young man,
who, from his youth. had faithfully
served his master, who was from the
land of the unleavened bread, and
who once had gathered much shekels
In divers ways.
4. Now, the young man was comely
to look upon; was keen by his teach
incs, wore tight pants, and had dorg.
3. And it came to pass that fam
inc fell upon the shekels of his mas
ter, and the young man was nigh unto
being left out In the cold.
6. And strightway went he in to his
master, and lifting up his voice, cried
aloud:
z. L will arise and go over to the
land of the Heather, even among the
jewellers of the place called Evans.
8. And his master was well pleased,
and said Go thou, where thou listests,
for [ have no use for thee.
g. And the young man called to-
gether his kinfolks and made known
to them his decision, and there was
much waiting and lamentation among
those who eat garlic that day.
TO- After many days journey he
same upon the walls of the city called
after Evans, and entered the gate
thereof, and beheld with wonder that
the men folks were clothed in gar
ments called in those days store
clothes, and were striving, one with
another, to make riches for rainy
days, which were much and many in
the land.
IL. And in no land were the female
persuasions more beautiful to look
upon; no, not one.
II. Now. in that land were many
tribes who bowed down after the
manners Of their forefathers and
ioremothers, even from the time of
the flood
-. But the young man was shrewd
even beyond the teachings of his
master, and bowed not down among
them or any of them, aud after a
time they came to wonder among
themselves what manner Of bow
downer he WAS.
II. And among the tribe were those
who would become rulers, and these
were gathered in Bands, which were
called after the names Of those who
lived over about the sea, veneDemo-
critics and Radicites.
10. Keenly did the young man eye
these Bands, that he might know
which of them would come t. handle
the shekels gathered from the people
as taxes.
Is. And thus he communed with
hims II: Go l over to the R4dicites,
they are few. Go | over to the Demo-
critics, among them are those who are
unclean and hard of fist, and who
have no gentility. Have [ not mingled
with the toilers and tillers of the
soil until there is nothing more 10
them for me or my master; what
p oiit shall | have if [ gather TO those
of the hard listed.
H. MOI | will profit by my teach
ings, and, while [ smile sweetly upon
the toilers and hard of the fist, l will
gather with the sweet-scented nobs of
the soft hands, and we will, By our
winning ways, fine raiment, and mach
baueoplbe about poor mans friend,
cause those Of the hard fists to make
US strong, that we may rule over
them.
IS. Aud we will build US a temple
in the main highway of the city, and
cause our banner to be placed upon it,
and those of the hard fists may stand
around the door, and they will cry
aloud: Long live our Ruiersl p
10. And these things came to pass.
And these rulers in the temple were
called by the name of the Kids, and
they went in and out Of the temple
and consumed much gas, one with
another.
20. And the young man became
Pet Kid for he was pleasing to look
fine raIment, came from
the sea. aud had dorg
q. And it came to pass that the
days of the rulers over these tribes
of the land became numbered, and
new rulers were to be appointed to
gather the taxes.
%. And with his mind upon his
purpose, the young man prevailed
upon the kids to place him before the
people as ruler.
%. Whereupon they did so place
him. and the hardGsted stood around
the door Of the temple, and lifting up
their voices cried, Do ye that which
seemeth good.
"a Now the Radicites communed
among themselves, and said, one to
another, Woe unto us that in all our
land there are none among US who
hath wisdom to gather the taxes.
Our ignorance and stupidity hath be-
come known even over to the sea,
and adventures come to mock at and
rule over us.
%. In those days lived there
among those tribes a man who was
lpright and a just man, who had !
many shekels, which he had gathered |
BY selling sandals, and the fame Of |
MS sandals had reached over the land,
and much pelf had he gathered |
thereby.
rs. And he was called Peter, whose
surname was Semonin. Now, Peter, |
seeing the great tribulation of the |
people, gathered them together, and |
girdiug his loins, sspake thusly:
Y. BY labor among you have | |
made my riches, and many and much |
are my taxes. My record have ye
with you these many days.
q. Go We into the highways and |
oyways, even through the Ward |
which is Third, and cry aloud that [ |
will serve the people, if it come to be |
heir will.
20. For verify / say unto you, if |
his wayfarer comes to rule over US,
he will not leave as wherewith to buy |
Dread, but We will become as the |
Spencerites, yea. even as
the people on the river that Is called |
Green.
30. And great was the rejoicing of |
