A Fable.

One day Wolf who had wandered
/ further than usual came upon farm.
house to find it seemingly unguardeG
and many fowls about.
''This is the soft thing I have long
been looking for, said the Wolf tt
himself, "and I'll just pick up that
fat Gander. -
He was about to rush upon his vic
tim when he observed fine, fat Lamb
just beyond her, and he paused and
said:
''Come to think Of it, prefer Lam b
stick in my teeth. Ill take Lamb.
He had approached within few feet
of the Lamb when he noticed the
mother lying down amidst the grass,
and thinking matters over, he OBJ
served:
'It's nice fat Lamb. to be sure,
but one would be fool to take Lamb
when he can just as well have Sheep.
I'll go for She old Eve.
The unsuspecting Eve was almost
in his jaw when the Wolf caught sight
of spring Calf fiisking about, and
he smacked his lips and softly whis-
pered:
Veal, eh?. Veal always tickles my
palate, and that CALF will make me
two good meals. won't look any
further, but just take tina. Calf
''I'd go away back and sit down if
I was you said the Farmer, as he
came out of the house at that moment
with gun in his hands. "While /
was huntin up the gun you might
have got the Gander: while l was
lookin for powder and shot you could
have gobbed the Lamb; while / was
Ioadin up you had time to get away |
with the Eve, but now that I'm here
you'll have to go without veal +"
Moral. When you strike a good
hing hold it down.
That's what "the boys, under the
ew regime, propose to do for the

tional tax levy necessary to assist in

The Boston Herald is being rubbed

The Boston Herald is being rubbed in
sore place. 1t says. "The negro
problem is not likely to be advanced a
single inch toward a favorable adjust
ment by the entirely unwarrantable
proposition made that, on the 22nd OF
February, a deputation Of colored men
shall wait upon President Roosevelt
and ask him to open the doors of West
Point, Annapolis and the Agricultural
Colleges to colored young men,"
1t will not do for a New England
youth to have to rub against the negro,
you know, ana he might have to at these
colleges. 1t is "down South" where
the Bostouians want the color lines
obliterated.

What Judge Smallman did to the

was plenty The whiskey gang had
fixed" the jury, and was congratulate
ing themselves that all was we'll with
them. Cases for the illegal selling of
whisKey, with the proof clear and con-
vincing, were brought before the jury,
and promptly turned down by them
Then Judge Smallman took hand in
the game, and turned down the grand
jury He called them before him, gave
them severe lecture, dismissed the Of
Tending members and cent them home in
disgrace. Then he appointed a new
Grand jury, charged them as to their
duty and gave them very plainly to un-
derstand that they were expected to do
it. And it did not take them long to
get at it. The indictments were return
ed before night. Public sentiment
makes all the good laws that are made

getting right on this whiskey question.
