FL g,zsGgcAn, in Artist Printer.


heart, Lol these many years have /
rendered unto the printers much gold
and bank notes and silver that my
business might be advertised;
?. And believe in mine heart that
it payeth not so to do,
3. For verify, When man hath
need OF goods doth he not come unto
my store and buy OF me, even of me,
Gowa He'd, son OF Live Lea:
4. Wherefore, then, do give good
things unto him that rendered unto
me naught in return, and pay unto
the printer many shekels when ne
doeth me no good?
8. Behold, / will arise and go unto
the newspaper Office, l will call upon
the printer, and l will say unto him,
Printer, bring my bill, git down quick
and mark it paid, and l will pay unto
thee al! that ~hich owe.
! g. Moreover, l will command him
| TO take mine advertisement from out
his paper;
Z. And also will no more have any
joo printing done; tor what doth it
profit man ii ne have business card
or circular and no man readeth them7
| S. For verify, 1t hath come to pass
that when men see my advertisement
| they say each one in his heart, Where.
| tore doth this man advertise?
| 8. Knowetn not all men that he
| dce.h business in the market place?
Have We not all bought merchandise
| OF him2 And his name is it not Gowa
He'd?
| 10. Wherefore then doth he weary
| US with his ADVERTISEMENTS theraper,
aud strew his hand bills in the high
ways and pnbiic places
J II. And he arose and went unto
the printer.
| -. And behold when he was yet g
great way of the printer saw him;
| 10. And he said unto the devil, Loi
mere comevh one which is a crank,
even a man that is but half baked.
IA. And when Gowa He'd mad come
unto the Office, he did even as he had
said, and everything he had thought
il his heart, that he did.
| CHAPTER L.
l. And from that time even unto
the end no man saw his advertise
| ment in the land: and his name was
no mole in all mems mouths.
2. And many OF those that were
wont to nave dealings with him dealt
no more;
3. For when they saw not his ad.
vertlsement and that his name was
not spoken among men, they thought
that ne had been dead.
4. And there arose q generation
which knew not him; neither heard
they OF the many things he was won't
TO sell;
s. SO they went and had their deal
ings with another which spoke to
them through his advertisement OF
things both new and old.
6. And behold upon a time there
came unto Gowa He'd one called Sher,
surnamed LII,
| Z. Which said unto him, Doth this
store and these things which I see be
long unto thee And he answered him.
Yea.
| s. And Sher Ii lifted up his voice
and said unto Gowa He'd, Verify, yeri.
ly say unto thee, thou speakest not
truly;
9. For now are thy creditors come
upon thee, and have seized upon all
that thou hast: yea, they have sworn
to take thy goods and sell them, that
they may be recompensed for that
which thou owest unto them. even
unto the uttermost farthing.
| 10. So his goods were sold for as
much as they would bring, and hewas
exceeding sorrowful.
CHAPTER III.
| l. And he went out upon the
streets; and when he met those who
were wont to be his friends, they turn
ed aside and took another way.
2. When he had wandered many
days he began to be IN want. and no
man gave aught unto MIN.
S. And Gowa He'd became sore an
hungered, and was fain to eat OF the
garbage OF the street, and to beg.
4. And behold one came unto him
dressed as became an officer, who lift
ed u his vioce aud said,
5. Arise and come with me. Why
stop We the passers-by and cumoer
the way? And he led him before the
judge,
6. Who sent him unto that place
which is for them that are poor and
have naught, neither bread nor where.
with to clothe them.
z. And Gowa He'd cursed the day
that he was born, and said unto him
self,
8. Woe unto me that l left the
ath OF wisdom, and the way OF them
that do advertise,
8. For they have enough ard to
spare; they wax fat and increase, and
are become as kings in the land; they
ami rot for any good thing, and are
filed with riches and rejoicing.
10. Therefore my name shall be
called no more Gowa He'd, but Gum
He'd.
IL. And when he had made an end
OF weeping and lamentation, he fell
upon the ground and rent his clothes
