There occurred once upon time q
war of great fierceness between the
beasts and birds. The bat having a
somewhat ambiguous nature could not
be clearly identified with either side,
and It did not make much difference
with which it fought. He was at first
on the side of the beasts and active in
the fight, but a rally heing made by
the birds, which proved successful, the
bat took sides with them, and was
found at the close of the day among
the ranks of the winning party. A
truce, however, followed and the bat
found that he was acknowledged by
neither SIDE and was excluded FROM
the company of each. He was obliged
to skulk Oft as best he could, and has
ever since lived in holes and caves
never daring to show his face except
In the darkness Of twilight. This is in
substance the old fable Of Esop. The
truth OF Its teaching is exemplif1ed in
recent American politics. The motive
Of the mugwnmps,in the last Presiden.
tial campaign may not have been the
same as that of the bat, but i, is undo
nlable that very many people have Sc
thought, and that the political fate OF
those who changed sides in the fight Of
1884 has coriesponded closely with
that of the singular animal who
changed sides in the fight of the beasts
and birds. The letter of out San
Francisco correspondent. explaining
