The welf and the Hare

Ona day - q Hare vas pursuing
her way through the forest, she was

out:

''Suppose it Is? You are nothing
but a Hare, while l am a Wolf 1t
is your business to follow on behind
me, If you want to 60 my way. How
il looks to see a big, strong Wolf fol-
lowing 4 weak and cowardly Hare
like you."
"very well,' answered the Hare,
who dared not dispute for fear Of
being worse used.
The Wolf was in no hurry. Indeed,
he did not care to travel that way at
all, except to humiliate his weaker
neighbor. As he passed along at a
slow gait, he looked back over his
shoulder and observed:
"Don't keep so near me. If we
meet anybody / don't care to have
them think We are travelling in com.
pany. 1t Is only An act of conde-
scension that l allow you to travel
this path at ALL"
The Hare fell back a few feet fur
Their, feeling that any dispute would
result to the advantage of the Wolf.
They had not proceeded far when the
Wolf suddenly uttered a howl of sur
prise and pain, and as the Hare came
up lie was rolling over the ground
with his fore feet fast in a trap.
"Help! Help!' shouted the Wolf.
"Ba. 1 am nothing but a Hare"
replied the other. Show it would
look to e a weak and cowardly
Hare rushing to the assistance of a

A Big Schemrr

NEW YORK, February 1.-THE Post saws
IL is reported that the chief organizer of the
Oregon navigation system recently gave no
| tice to his followers, who, under his lead
have In the last two years made fortunes
that he wanted fund Of $4,000, 600 to b,
used for purpose which he would disclose
later; that in response to this notice he re-
ceived offers Of Sic. 0O0, 900, but all he want.
| ed was only $S,0O0,000. Moreover that hi.
receipts OH certificates Of acceptance of sub
scriptions have since sold at 40 per cent. pre-.
MUM.
We say that this was reported; it was told
us by reputable banker, and parts of the
tale read like chapter from leaf of JOIN
Law. We now hear, but not on the SAME
authority. that the purpose for which the
money was wanted is to secure control OF
the Northern Pacific railroad. The scheme
beginning to practically bring about union
OF interests with that company and the Ore
gon Navigation Company. We have been
unable to confirm this, but If it is true it af-
fords explanation for the large rise in North
erh Pacific common stock and the advance
to-day in shares.
New YORK, February 1S.-The Post saws:
In part confirmation of the report yesterday
that the SS,00O,0 900 raised by the chief organ
izer Of the Oregon Navigation Company
were to be used in obtaining control OF the
Northern Pacific railroad. we have TODAY
the authority Of the leading bankers for the
statement that the chief promoter of the Or
egon Navigation Company told him he had
already secured majority of the Northern
Pacific stock.
