what shall my kingdom he likened
| 2. 1t is like unto man who
was bankrupted and had been out
of business for many years.
3. And he said unto the people,
trust me with goods, and merchan-
disc, and wares, and / will sell to
you cheaper than other merchants.
4. And he promised unto this
man clerkship, and unto another
to be his bOokkeeper, and to an
other his porter.
5. And the men who were
promised these positions went out
among the multItudes and cried
with a loud voice. saying:
6. Verify, this is a great man
let us trust him.
Z. And they did so.
8. And when the man had pos
sessed himself of the goods and the
chattels and merchandise of the
people, and got his store started,
he did even as the other merchants.
8. And the people were sorely
vexed and were mad, and said "dad
bumm it,"
10. But the new merchant rails
ed the price of his goods and low
cred the prices of what the peo-
pie had to sell.
II. And the people said dad
bumm it" some more.
12.But the merchant waxed
rich, and he sent out his head book
keeper to tell the people that it
was good that it was so.
13. And the bookkeeper went
out to the land of his nativity,
even over against Ohio, where
dwelleth the high priest of Nam
mon, even John Sherman.
IA. And it was land of blue
grass, fast horses, beautiful wo
men and damphool men.
Is. And they held a convention.
Is. And they indOrsed the mer
chant and his clerks and his man
ner of dealing.
II. And the merchant continu-
ed business at the old stand.
IS. And the rich men rejoiced
exceedingly.
10. And the people said "dad
bumm it,"
90. My kingdom shall also be
likened unto man who climbeth a
tree to secure a swarm of bees;
81. Who taketh his saw and
off the limb between him
and the tree.
%. And the limb fell, so like
wise did the man and the bees.
%. And the bees stung the man |
even from Dan to Beersheba.
"a. And the man was sorely |
stung and sick nigh unto death.
25. And the bees settled in the |
yard of his enemy and were hived
by him.
26. And his disciples marveled,
for they understood not this parable. |
81. And when Grover saw that
they were troubled, he said
%. Oh, We of little faith, how
Iong shall / suffer ye!
30. Know you not the meaning
IF the parable Of the man and the
bees |!
30. The man is like unto him
who wanteth free silver ''inside the
Democratic party"
81. And he gOeth to the nation
II convention and crieth aloud for
free silver.
49, Bnt he only cutteth himself
oose from the pie counter and
'alleth among the bees, which
tingeth him sorely.
80. Let him that hath ears
lear.
81. And again my kingdom is
ike unto a school boy who slideth
IN the ice.
35. When he seeth the ice from
far off his heart leaps for joy.
36. He thinketh of the good
hings in store for him when he
eacheth the ice.
81. And he returns and brings
even more boys with him.
3S. And he runs rapidly on the
and when he reacheth the
&c he scoots;
80. And his feet scooteth fas-
er than his head, for he didn't
hink.
40. And he fell on the end of
is backbone.
Al. And the last end of that
ad boy was worse than the first
nd
40. And he had to stand up for
1ree weeks when he ate.
l3. The boy is like unto Bland.
