A Parable Applied.

Two hungry cats once disputed d
about the division of piece of
cheese and left it to a cunning
monkey to divide it in exactly
equal portions. The monkey
shrewdly made one piece slightly
smaller than the other, and when
they failed to balance in the scales,
he took 3 larger piece. Having
failed to produce balance, he
took a large mouthful from the
other piece, taking care that each
alternate bite would leave the dis.
pute unsettled, while he himself
would get a good meal. 1t is
easy to bee that the two hungry
cats Of today are the factions of
the state board of control. When
they pass their cheese up to the
legislature, the monkey act will
begin. --oraugeburg Patriot.
