Ny DEAR Mr.. FISHER:
I thank you for the ar
ticle from Mr.. Lewis.
1t Ia good in itself aud

like Q man of large in
diligence and compre.
hension. Your offer to
admit me to . partici-
patton In the new rail-
road enterprise is in
every respect as gener-
Gus as I could expect or
desire. l thank you
very sincerely for 1t,
and in this connection
1 wish to make q sug-
gestion of q somewhat
selfish character. 1t is
this: You spoke of Mr..
Caldwell's offer to dis
pose Of q share of his
interest to me. II he
desires to do so. I sh
he would make the
proposition definite, so
that | could know Just
what to depend on.
Perhaps If he waits till
the full development
Of the enterprise he
may grow reluctant to
part with the share,
and I do not by this
mean any distrust of
him. l do not feel that
l shall prove a dead
head in the enterprise
II l once embark In it.
l Sc v-rious channels
In which know I can
be useful.
Very hastily and sin
cerely your friend,

me men co"ren,;o"-A Fable.

A fox who found hard picking in GER
tain neighborhood ono day visited far
mer's dog, and said :
81 have lately undergone change OF
heart, and | wish you to make known
the fact to your masters fowls They
treat me 40 If was 4 murderer, and it
really hurts my feelings to see them hur-
ry into the coop at sunset. The farmer,
too, seems to distrust mo, for he has
made the coop SO tight thst ! canno.
And single knothole. What sort OF
way is that to treat fox, who is doing
h.s best to earn an honest living7"
IL presume you would like to state
your case to the fowls in person' ob.
served the dog.
That's it-thas's the very idea, re-
pAsnd the fox. "Say to them that |
should like to meet them in convention
under this tree tomorrow at noon. l
Will then explain my feelings toward
them, and trust that the fox and the
fowls will hereafter live in the grea%est
harmony. Indeed, the only difference
between u. is the fact that have no
w,ngs. and they shouldn't hold mo in
suspicion on that account.
The dog agreed to act as mediator,
and at noon next day the fox crept care
fully through the weeds to the rendez
vous aud crouched down to await the
coming Of the fowls. There WAS pres
emily heard great whirr and clatter,
and two-score hens alighted in the
branches OF the tree over the fox.
"Ihe convention will now proceed to
business" said an old hen, - shs pcered
down upon the fox.
Just 30. grinned the fox. Please
como down and We will proceed"
Thanks; but If it.. all the same to
You we'd rather you'd como up here, I"
replied the hen.
Blu. l can't ay."
And We are poor runners"
The fox no, being able to hy up, and
tho hens refusing to fly down. the for
rner was skulkins of, when he met the
dog, who said:
My friend, the difference between
undergoing change OF heart and desir-
ing to undergo change Of diet and po-
sition is so obscure that many people
never stop TO Ash for it. AS fox you
were respected for your cunning as a
hypoorite even the old hens despise
you."

Near Sans Souci, the fnvorite resi-
dence Of Frederic tho Great, there was n
mill, which much interfsrel with the
view from the palsce. One day the
King sent to inquire what the owner
would take for the mill, and the unex-
pected reply came that The miller would
not sell it for any money. The King,
much incensed, gave orders that the mill
should be pulled down The miller
made no resistance, but, folding his
Arms. quietly remarked;
"The King may dc this, but there are
laws in Prussia.
And he took legal proceedings, the
result of which was that the King had
70 rebuild o mill and to pay a good
sam of money beside in compensation.
Although his Majesty was much cha
grined at this end to tho matter, he put
the best face he could upon it, and turn
ing TO his courtiers he remarked:
~ am glad to see that there are Just
laws and upright Judges in my king
DOM"
A sequel to this incident occurred
about forty years ago. A descendant
OF the muller of whom we have Just been
talking had couie into possession Of the
mill.
After having struggled for several
years against ever increasing poverty,
and being at length quite unable to
keep on in his business, he wrote To the
Ming OF Prussia, reminding him Of the
incident We have just related, and stat
ing that il his Majesty felt so disposed.
he should be very thankful. ia his pres
emit difficulty, to sell the mill. The King
wrote the following reply with his own
hand

A nob'eman had favorite monkey,
large orang- outsns, which you know
is the largest species of monkey except
the gorilla. This monkey was very
much attached to his master and to tho
baby boy, who was the pet Of the whole
family. One day suddenly a fire broke
ont in tho house, and everybody was
running here and there to put it out,
while the little boy in his nursery WAS
almost forgotten; and when they
thoushto of him the stair case was all in
flames. What could be done2 As they
were looking up and wondering, a large,
hairy hand and arm opened the window,
and presently the monkey appeared with
the baby in his arms, and carefully
climbed down over the porch and
brought the child safely to its nurse.
Nobody else could have done it, for a
man cannot climb Ike a monkey, and is
not nearly so strong. Yon may imagine
how the faithful creature was praised
and petied after that. This is a true
story, and the child who was saved was
the young Marquis of Kildare. --CAit-
