A Fable.
Once upon times Cotton String
was dipped in G cup of melted Mutton
suet. When the Mutton Suet got dry
the Cotton String. was stiff SO that it
could stand alone, and 1t became
puffed up and proud, because with the
aid Of the Mutton Suet it could stand
alone. Just then . William Goat that
was browning near passed by. He
didn't see any Sheep, although ne
smelled the suet, but the Cotton String
.ccosted the William Goat and said !:
@You haven't any Backbone" The
william Goat made no reply. He
didn't shoot the Cotton String on the
Spot. He didn't swallow it whole, but
he struck match and applied it to the
String. The suet melted and the Cot
ton String fell to the ground, but be-
fore expiring exclaimed: u didn't
know that William Goat was loaded"
Having said which; only Grease Spot
remained. The William Goat passed
thence to Green Pastures and fed by
Quiet Waters, conscious Of the fact
| that while he had Backbone" enough
to do him, an exhibition OF it on any
except rare occasions was an evidence
Iof weakness rather than Strength.
