THE HORSE AND THE FUX.
A Fable OF 1SSS.


The lion having died. the beasts of the forest found
1t necessary to choose new king. So they assem-
bed In their customary place. Now, the beasts
we're divided Into two parties One party favored
the choice OF the horse, because lie strong and
INDUSTRIOUS but the other party favored the fox,
because Uf his brilliant wit and Keen Intellect.
Now, several OF the beasts were In doubt as to
which would make the best king; 30 they inquired
as to what The horse and the fox had done In the
past.
They found that the horse had always done his
work TO the best Of his ability, no matter how hard
or how humble IL was, while the fox had always
been tricky beast, really to do anything for his
own advantage without consideration for the general
welfare.
So they decided In favor OF the horsc AMI he was
chosen to reign for certain time AT the end of
that tIuic the two parties again together and
the one which had favored The fox before favored
him again. But those who had favored the horse
said:
"Is this the same fOx2
And the friend, OF Reynard answered:
at IL the same old FOX"
Whereupon the friends OF the horse said:
"lf we Ind not like the fox before, how much esa
shall we like him now, since We have learned how
strong AMI beautiful the horse is"
And many OF the animals that hal favored the fox
before deserted him aud lifted up their voices IN
praise OF the horse.
MORAL.
This fable teaches that the Republican party
ought to endeavOr ~ acquire little horse sense.
