her d of politicians all OF whom were seeking
: office under the government, were seated at
tavern porch, when an old topper, person who
was loquacious when corned, but exactly the
opposite when sober, said he would tell them
story. They told him to fire away" where
upon he spoke as follows
A certain king-I don't remember his
namc-had philosopher upon whose judg-
mcut he always depended. Now it happened.
that one day the king took it iuto his head to
90 hunting, and summoniug his mobiles and
making the necessary preparations, he sum-
monei the philosopher and asked him if it
would rain. The philosopher told him that it
would not and they started While Journey
ing along they met countryman on jackaSs.
lie advised them to return, for said he, It
will certainly rain They smiled comtemp-
tously upon him, and then passed on. Before
they had gone many miles, however, they had
reason to regret not having taken the rustic
advice. as shower coming up drenched them
to the skin. When they had returned te the
palace, the king reprimauded the philosopher
severely.
II met a countryman,' said he, land he
knows great deal more than You. He told
me it would rain, whereas you told me it would
not.
The king then gave him his walking papers,
and sent tor the countryman who soon made
his appearance:
fell me, SAID the King, how you knew
it would rain.
Il didn't know said the rustic, 'my jack
ass told me so.
And how, pray, did he tell you?'' asked
the king.
by pricking up his ears, your Majesty
said the rustic.
The king sent the countryman away and pro-
curing the jackasS of him, he placed him (the
jackaSs) in the office the philosopher 6ed.
And here observed Joel, looking very
wise, lis where the king made great mis-
take"
How so p inquired the auditors.
.'Why, ever since that time, said Joel with
grin on his phiz, every jackass wants
