A number of men were sitting in front

the atmosphere of the courts had been
purer than in the earlier days.
"That is, said Barnes, thinner and
weaker; in other words, jurors cost less
than formerly"
Both the lawyers agreed that coin had
potent influence. When the law was
all on their side and the jury on the

The Chick-a-dee and the Eagle-A
Fable,

Once upon time Chick-a-dee and
an Eagle had nests In the lme forest
The forest was plenty large enough for
both, and peace and harmony might
have prevailed but for the jealousy of
the Chick-a-dee. Having been created
by nature for a small bird, and haying
digestive organs for only bugs ana
worms, it made him wroth to behold
the Eagle having such spread of wings
and such appetite for large game.
One day after the Chick-a-dee had
put III ten hours hard to work for small
grubs he beheld the majestic Eagle
pounce down and secure i'll moment
fish large enough to last him three days.
This capped the climax, and the Chick
a-dee few higher up in the tree to con-
suit the BuzzaId as to what could be
done.
"I'd lie abont him, was the advice
of the Ruzzard after thinking it over
The Chick-a-dee therefore flew through
the forest spreading lies and Islander re-
garding the Eagle, but the results were
not satisfactory. No one seemed to be-
lieve them, and many advised the Chick
a-dee to continue his grubbing and let
other Birds do as pleased them best.
IL this emergency the tiny Bird again
appealed 10 the. Buzzard for sdylce.
The unclean Bird picked his teeth over
the subject and replied
!" You must 90 TO the Eagle AMI tell
him what you think Of hun"
Early the next morning the Chick-a-
dee set out on his mission. Meeting the
Eagle in mitl-air he began trade Of
abuse, but the Eagle DID not seem to
hear Enraged ana exasperated, the
Chick-a-dee used still stronger language,
but the result was the same.
Say say I'm abusing you!" he final
" called out " I've sianoered you,
lied about you, and now ! Insult You,
and you dare not resent it.
Little atom, replied the Eagle, as
he slowed up a little, "if struck by an
Eagle / should strike back. When a
bird OF yonr SIZE bothers me ] cannot
even afford time TO stop and eat him.
