THE MAN WITH THE DOUGH.
Being the Parable of walled on and
the Nfn.x of Iinearr


the Ness af Lineage
Now it came to pass that in the reign
Of Hark Mama. the men OF the tribe OF
AmeTicanites were counted out and placed
in rank according to the number OF thei-
shekels and each according to his holdings
in legislatures. and to the number OF slaves
in his vineyards. And those having ex-
cseding bunches OF sheksis were arst in
that land and those having some shegels
were allowed to sit up and partake Of skt1s
OF wine, and those having small ahand-
ance Of shekels were called dealers in lead
pipes and drivers OF ice chariots- And the
last OF these were the men with the corns
who purchased air at 50 much per cubit
and whose water was taxed because OF the
abundance OF beautiful and instructive AMI
maIcuiae which was in it.
And among the first rank was placed a
certain man who was called Walled on, be-
cause that he was OF Wall Street and be-
cause that he was very exclusive and wiped
his hands when he had counted his gold.
/ for fear that the eagle upon the coins
might not have had recent bath And
Walled on was a dealer in the market
places and a money changer. And be had
exceeding great vats OF sheksls which
were called "eush" and dough and long
green" and when Walled on ate he con-
| sumed many shekeIs and when ne slept
he lost fortunes and when he breathed he
also lost much scndi. for his time was Ia
deed gold. And when those who gathered
taxes came upon him he related his exceed
ing great losses, but they were without
heart and the taxes became a great bur-
| den.
And Walled on was in sore straits AMI
1 49, 4 e. "a "a
find none for that the Relief Commission
was giving consolation to the Filipinaites,
| as Is written in the First Epistie OF st.
| Otis. And Walled OF saw that his fellow
tax dodgers and Bondisees were also not
pleased, but among them they could md
no relief. And there was crashing OF
shekels and rending of coupons in that
place.
And it came to pass that a certain wise
man journeyed into the land Of the Amer
icanites And his name was Blawstit for
he was OF the tribe OF PicadIliy. And
Blawstit spake unto Walled on, saying
Verify. weep not, oh thou of great cush
There is balm in Windsor, and the Prince
would be delighted" But Walled on
wept, saying, Woe, woei how may l go
into the land OF the Prince when / have 20
title, and only wealth" And Blawstit an
swered and said unto him: While the
cush holdeth forth to burn. verify the Eo5t
stately ancestors may return
And Walled OF gave into his hands many
large purses Of world movers, and Blawstit
went forth And upon the tenth day he
returned. bearing in his hands a grsas
tablet which was the lineage OF Walled or
and showed that he was titled and worthy
OF the Prince And Immediately Wallsd
on pricked his arm and the blood tiar
flowed was blue. And Walled or read the
tablets unto the people. saying: Behold.
oh slaves, for I am titled. For d'Astorg,
begot my ancestors. and we have been the
friends of Spanish Queens and have doEs
battle against the AimoTavites-"
And Walled on grew exceeding merry
and Sherry in all his glory did not arraJ
his tables in more inery. And Walled OF
grew great neck that his tunic might De
like unto that of the Prince and his head
also increased and multiplied in its diane
ter. And upon a certain day he left the
land of the Amerieanites and was not longer
OF the tribe under Hark Mama And no
joarneyed into the land OF the Prince and
became of the tribes Of Picadilly ana
Strand And his household goods became
luggage and his raiment was turned up ar
the hem. And he talked with a strange
tongue. saying: His the hair 'ealthy for
govt yer 'Ignness?" And many VINO heard
him were taken with sickness and were de-
Iivered of much food.
But it came that upon a certain day it
was announced that the tablets OF geneal-
ogy which had been writ by Blawstit were
not good and there was no truth in them-
And Walled on was cast aside By the
Pwince, who had learned that he was but
| dealer in the market place and was oegat
by a seller OF skins And they called him
by the name of ''bore.' And when he had
read a certain parchment called Punch"
for many years and his punishment had
been great they made him a citizen OF the
tribe of Picadilly and his sons with him
These things came TO pass in the First
year of the "Anglo-Saxon" and IN the
