After years of agitation these

Aesop tells US that the horse
finding the other beasts of the
field unwilling to acknowledge
him as their sovereign applied to
man for assistance In subduing
his foes. Man Immediately
consented and proceeded to put
the saddle upon his back. "Hol-
loa cried the horse, what Is that
forl" 'Ah, it will be necessary
for me to get on your back and
have the full control CT you for
time. if | am to assist you, an
swered the man. The next step
was to put the bit into the horses
mouth to guide him right. Man
took a whip into his hand and
fastened pair of spurs on his
heels and mounted. The horse

horse. Don't listen to him, he is
only Royaiist. just so it is with
the radical and their hobby, the
church. The saddle, the bride,
the whip and the spurs, are all
ready. The people ouside of the
ring are asked to stand quietly
and ready to be lassoed and
brought into the carroll of the
mushroom government, these to
be sold, SO to speak. like so many
wild mustangs to the highest
bidder among annexationists by
some radical auctioneer, and then
to be mounted, whipped and
spurred. Do not be deceived.
