MODERN FABLES.
The Modern Fable Of How 3rana-
ma Shattered nm Idol and Made
II Easy for the Children.
by GEORGE ABE.

Copyright, 1901 by Robert Howard Rus
Once there was Man who Jawed his
Childrep.
He hectored them and found Fault
and was as full of Regrets as British
General in South Africa.
He thought that the Cherubim ought
to sit up straight all Day and keep their
Hands folded.
Pa had an impaired Circulation and
Fur on his Tongue and a kind of jan
ders Complexion and therefore Life was
a sad and serious Game to him. He
wanted the CHILDREN to take the same
Gloomy View of the whole Demnit1on
Grind. He was in a Blue Funk most OF
the time and it was his earnest Desire
that the whole Universe should wear
Black Border in order to be in Har-
mony with his own measly state OF
Melancholy.
So when he had nothing else to do,
he fixed up restraining Rules for the
Kids. He told them they must not
waller In the Grass or climb Trees or
get into Scraps. When he commanded
them to keep out of Fights and Wrass-
les he seemed to overlook the Fact that
they we're the immediate DESCENDANTS or
a rambustious Individual who always
had two or three Law Suits on hand
and went cbout with a Chip on his
Shoulder.
He came down on them like 1000 OF
Brick II they failed to be Polite. He
told them to say Yes Ma'am" and
"Thank You" and always show Respect
for their Elders, because that would be
the only Chance that some Of the Ell
ders had to have any Respect shown to
them.
He was a Stickler for Table Manners.

This very remarkable Man had two
Boys and one Girl who were permitted
to live in the Shadow Of his Greatness.
The Oldest Child was Boy named

principally TO Legs and Red Neckties.
He was at the Awkward Age. His

He went about bumped over as though
he had been dried across Barrel.
Wallie was passing through the Calf
