He Laughs Best who Laughs Last

A jolly, fat Elktonian has been anus
ing himself for the past week by playing
the prophet role. He has killed many
animals. nor ever considered their future
state, He has sung many hymns and
accepted their theology without question.
He has sold many trees and perhaps sold
the purchasers at the same time, He
knows the fruit must perish in the seed
before it rises in the tree, and he takes
benefit of the doubt about necessary time
OF perishing. But. he has found one and
all, at times, without profit and so he
has concluded to try prophet himself.
He studies the skies right diligently and
Last week he prsdicted a cyclone. In g
