sonae ansodoses Of Aesop. the Famous
Aeso.the celebrated fabulist, was
born about go B. C.. He is supposed
to have been native Of Phrygia, but
the place Of his birth is very uncer-
tain, several Grecian cities claiming
the honor. While quite young he was
brought to Athens as slaTe, where
he served several masters, but was
finally made a freeman in considera-
ton of his wit and beauty OF mind.
1t is said that he was at one time the
chief servant of philosopher named
Xanthus. One day XaIthus wished TO
give grand dinner to sone OF MS
distinguished friends, and he IN
structed Aesop to buy for the occa-
sion the very best things in the mar
ket. Aesop went to market, purchased
great number Of tongues. and tolo
, the cook to serve them with dlner-
ent sauces. When the dinner was
ready, there was tongue in all Styles
and not one thing else. Xanthus was
enraged. He called Aesop to MIN anu

semblies by using their tongues:
s'I'll excuse you this time" said Kan
thus, "for your reasoning is truly
good; but these same friends will dine

diversity my entertainment, go 10
market again and buy the worst things
you can find" The dinner the next
! day consisted also Of nothing but ton
CUES. Xanthus, violently angry, de-
manded ar explanation OF Aesop.
Master" said the servant, you told
me to buy, for this dinner, the worst
things I could find. Is there anything
worse than tongues?Is not the tongue
the instrument Of strife and conten-
ton, the fomentor Of lawsuits, and
| the source Of divisions and wars? Is
not the tongue the organ OF error, OF
falsehood, Of calumny, Of blasphemy!
Aesop was not punished; for he con-
vinced Xantnus that the tongue, when
used Alright, is the best Ct all things,
ard the very worst when pat to
wrong use. Soon after Aesop was
made free he visited Croesus, and he
and the rich Lydian King Became close
friends. He went to Athens, and while
there composed the fable Of Jupiter
and the Frogs" for the instruction OF
the Athenian citizens. About 564 B.
c. Aesop met death in very cruel
way. Croesus had sent him to Delphi
with a large sum Of money that he
wished to have distributed among tle
citizens, but quarrel arose over the
matter, and Aesop refused to dlstrlo-
ute the money. Then the Delphians
became angry, accused him Of sacri-
lege, and hurled him from precipiee.

The President is Served First.

When the President of the United
States sits at the dinner table, even as
the host and there are ladies at the
table, he is always served first, like
the President of France aud Queen
Victoria, the Gear of Russia and all
other rulers. It is al ancient and
honorable custom observed in all
countries. It is matter Of personal
politeness, however, for him to wait
until the rest of the company is served
before he begins eating.

HE WAS THE WHOLE CORPS.
Impressive and Hollow Title a Man
 Bore in the Cuban Army.

''I noticed in the papers the other day." said an ex-yolunteer soldier, that an old street corner telescope man had got into a comical row with a lot of newsboys The item was of no special importance, but it recalled a singular character I met when I was with the army down in Cuba. He was known as Colonel Todd, chief of the Cuban engineer corps and although he was engaged in selling red lemonade on the plaza in Havana when I first encountered him, the title was bona fide. Possibly you remember the once famous Florida expedition that sailed from Tampa with men and supplies for the insurgents shortly before we de- clared war. Well, the junta agent who had that affair in charge was especially anxious to secure corps of engineers, but he was unable to find anybody in that line who was willing to go. The night before the expedition sailed he happened to notice a telescope man at a street corner selling peeps at the moon for five cents a squint.' Busi- ness seemed to be dull and the agent had an inspiration. Here was an as tronomer in hard luck. An astronomer was necessarily something of a mathc- matician and a mathematician was, or ought to be, more or less of an engin- ger. By that process of reasoning he arrived at the conclusion that the tele- scope man was exactly the person to fit the job of chief engineer of the army of Cuba. In two minutes he had made his proposition and it was accepted on the spot. The telescope mans name was Todd and the agent immediately breveted him colonel and chief of corps At first he was a little nervous and said he was afraid the engineers in the corps would kick about being under his command. Rest easy, colonel said the agent. blanGiy, you are the corps That settled it and he went over, his uniform consisting of a cap he got from a trolley car conductor. After that. when the war correspondents referred to the newly organized engineer corps of the patriotic army they were really referring to Colonel Todd. Shameful to relate no provision was made for him at the conclusion of hostilities and he was obliged to fall back on red lem Onade. Maybe ere now he has pur- chased another telescope.

CHILDREN VS. MONEY.

To have a family and no means of support is a serious predicament, and it is not bettered by the fact that the family is large. A family with a bad physical or mental inheritance, or in the hands of incompetent parents, is not likely to be a blessing or a valuable asset in the world. But a family of well born children, committed to par ents who appreciate their charge and are equal to it. is one of the very best things going. The very best and most important thing in the world is folks. Without them the world would be mere point in space, and of no account except as a balance weight. All that ails the world as it is is a shortage of folks of the right quality. Of every thing else there is enough to go around. Consequently the most valuable g1Tt that can come to earth through man is rightly constituted children. Beside them all other forms of wealth are de- fective.
 Can there be any question, then, that to accumulate reasonable num- Der of children is better worth ones while than to Accumulate an unreason- able amount of money? Not bit; and yet the world is full of ignorants whose ideal of the condition of happiness is to have a very large fortune and very small family. To such persons to raise more than two children seems flight in the face of Providence, and reck- less preference for the poorhouse as the refuge of ones declining days Great is prudence; but it Is worth re- membering that there are chances or raising too few children as well as too many, and while it is an embarrass- ment to have a young family on one hands and run out of funds, it is also an embarrassment to find ones self past middle life and fairly in funds but short of children. The man who has exercised such discretion as to reach the age of fifty without having any children to fall back on has probably. if he has any sense. passed the period when he admires his own prudence, and has come to think of himself as one who has wasted his opportunities. -E. s. Martin in Harper's Magazine.

HAS TO PAY FOR DAYLIGHT.

A strange case has come up in Mil waukee, where the owner of a business block has been obliged to pay $20 a month for the privilege of having sun light in one window of his building. A firm had rented a room in this building on condition that it be provided with natural light. This was effected by cutting a window in the wall over looking the property of neighbor The latter promptly shut off the light with a tight wood screen. When remon- strated with, he took the position t'at the light was his, and that, as he had right to erect building on his lot he had a right to put up any kind or structure permitted by law. An m uuiry by the attorney for the other party developed no flaw in the position taken by the light purveyor, and ms terms of $2O per month had to be met. His neiahbors, he said, could have nothing belonging to him without pay ing for it. Our friends the single tax CTS are loudly rejoicing over this, claiming that it is exactly what is be- ing done with land. They say if it were as easy to corner sunlight and air as 1t is to get control of the natural Op- pOrtunities offered by land. the human race would soon be in a good deal worse fix than it is, and we would som be taking out our licenses to live.-Min- neapolis (Minn) Journal.

There seems to be only one question in the case of Brigham Y. Roberts. rep
 resentative-elect from
 THE Utah to the Fifty-sixth
 ROBERTS congress. That is
 CASE. whether MT. Roberts is
 a practical polygamist. Those who are urging his unseating de- clare that he has entered into polyga- nous relations since the admission of Utah into the union of states in blat- ant defiance of the pledge by which that territory became a state. If that is the case MT. Roberts should make way for some one else. MT. Roberts and his friends insist on the contrary that neither he nor any other Mormon has taken a plural wife since the man. ifesto of President Milford Woodruff and that the compact then and there after made has been rigidly compiled with. If this is the fact. and it ought to be capable of demonstration or de- nial, Mir. Roberts has an unquestioned right, prima facie, to his seat and can only lose it by three -fourths vote of the house of representatives. Repre- sentative Roberts has been drawing his salary as a member of the house of representatives since March 4th last. He has regular credentials as a rep resentative which will entitle him to a seat until the house by it's sovereign power declares him ineligible to membership. The house of representatives can be depended upon to determine whether Mir. Roberts is living in polygamy in vio- lation of the compact by which Utah came into the Union. If he is. he should be unseated. If he is not he will serve out his term.

THE FAULT FINDER ]

Early last Friday night a young man began the torture of a horse Or he might have been torturing it before. the crime was not brought to public mo- tice until in the evening. The animal was hitched on Washington street op- posite the court house severely and un- naturally checked up. The animal at tracted the sympathy of passersby by his pitiful champing of the bit and the throwing of his head from side 10 side in a vain effort to obtain relief. For three hours this extreme cruelty was permitted. About eleven o'clock an officer unchecked Ihe animal and a no more godly act was performed by any man in Phoenix that night There was one possible, but not performed That was. the tarring, the feathering and the riding of the horses owner on rail.
 I do not know whether there is humane society of any kind in Phoe- nix The police perform many hu- mane acts in the cases of horses mal- treated by their masters. The mal- treatment which comes under the jur- isdiction of the police though, consists only in the leaving of horses hitched for long periods without water or ex- posed to storms. There must neces- sarily be great deal of suffering be- fore there can be police interference. There should be a city ordinance cov- ering all forms of cruelty to animals and there should be a territorial statute making the employment of the check rein a felony.
