THE PEASANTS FRIENDS.
An American Fable Whose Moral WIN Ne
Appreciated by Politicians.


One day the owl remarked to the
crow that the peasant who had lately
moved into the cottage beyond the
wood was good fellow and the crow
passed the word to the jackdaw and the
jackdaw to the parrot, says the Detroit
Free Press. Then the fox wanted to
know what was up, and, being duly in
formed, he took it upon himself to in
form the other wild animals of the
forest, and pretty soon it was
Resolved, That the peasant being a
good fellow, we will visit him and prove
our good WILL
III due time there was a great gather
ing of birds and beasts, and at a signal
each one cried out and applauded in his
own peculiar way. Things We're mighty
lively and the assemblage was fiatter-
ing itself that it was doing the proper
thing in proper way when the peasant
appeared, with his hair standing up and
his eyes hanging out, and exclaimed:
"Ah! Lack-a-day, but what in Texas is
all this row about?''
1--WE have come to show our friend
ship for bully boy" was the chorus.
Had you come as enemies l would
have brought out my shotgun and pro-
tected myself, but now, alas. am help
less and undone."
Moral-The man Gin the hands of his
friends" may be pitied even by his enc
mics
