A FABLE.
A Hen Convention.

A Fox who found hard picking in a
certain neighborhood one day visited a
farmers Dog and said:
81 have lately undergone change OF
heart, and I wish you to make known the
fact to your masters Fowls. They
treat me as if I was a murderer, and it
really hurts my feelings to see them
hurry into the coop at sunset. The
Farmer, too, seems to. distrust me, for
he has made the coop 50 tight that l
cannot find single knothole. What
sort of way is that to treat Fox who
is doing his best to earn an honest
living?"
II presume you would like to state
YOUR case to the Fowls in person?'
observed the Dog.
"That's it-that's the very idea"
replied the Fox. "Say to them that l
should like to meet them in conven-
zion under this tree tomorrow at noon.
[ will then explain my feelings towards
them, and trust that the Fox and the
Fowls will hereafter live in the greatest
harmony. Indeed, the only difference
between us is the fact that I have no
wings, and they shouldn't hold me in
suspicion on that account"
The Dog agreed to act as mediator,
and at noon next day the Fox crept
carefully through the weeds to the
rendezvous and crouched down to await
the coming of the Fowls. There was
presently heard great whirr and clat-
fer. and two-score hens alighted in the
branches of the tree over the Fox.
"The convention will now proceed
TO business" said an old Hen, as she
peered down upon the Fox.
"Just So" grinned the Fox. please
come down and we will proceed"
Thanks; but if it's all the same to
you we'd rather you'd come up here'
replied the Her.
"But l cant fly"
"And we are poor runners
The Fox not being able to fly up,
and the Hens refusing TO fly down, the
former was skulking of, when he met
the Dog, who said:
my friend, the difference between
undergoing a change of heart and de-
string to undergo a change of diet and
position is SO obscure that many peO-
pie never stop to fish for it. As fox
you we're respected for your cunning;
as a hypOcrite even the cid Hens de-
spise you
