hurt your feelings, am sorry TOT II.
"You have made my heart ache now
and then replied the buzzard, but
I'm not bird bear grudge. Your
apologies make it all right
"While am called an eagle and you
n buzzard there is but little difference
between us"
NO; you simply fly little higher
than do
That's about all. We are both
birds. you know"
"Of course"
"And, both being birds, why should
we hold aloof?'
I'VE shouldn't. This is a very nice
fish you have here. and it's just my
dinner hour. If you don't mind. I'll
r!so occupy this nest for an hour or
TWO As the place is rather crowded
you might seek another tree for
awhile. While you are about it you
NAV pick me up q chicken for supper,
and if you run across a nice spring
lamb bring it along for breakfast. AS
you observed little while ago
But you have eaten all my fish,"
exclaimed the eagle.
"Yes, here goes the tail Of it."
"And you have taken possession OF
my nest"
"Yes, and find 1t good fit. There
may be a few wrinkles around, but
I'm no kicker"
"And you expect me to provide you
food"
"Well, lamb and chicken will do for
me, though I do love oysters for a
change"
But l can't stand this" continued
the eagle as he seized the buzzard and
flung him out O. the nest. "While 1t
is true that we are both birds, 1t IS
also true that we are birds with DIFF
ference"
Moral.-'I won't say that all men
are not born free and equal" observed
the owl, who had heard the whole
affair. but | do contend that the way
fellow is brought up may have a
heap to do with i.
One day the hare and the EiraGe met
on one of the patLS IN the forest, anu
they had scarcely SalUtcd each other
when the hare complaininsly observed:
Il Just saw the fox taking his morn
ing walk, and such tail as he carried
behind him. Dear me, but how IN
kind nature was to the hares. II
had n brush like ReynardS, 1 should
! be one Of the happiest animals in the
world"
And get on to the man over there,
replied the giraffe. When he has
/ walked until his legs are weary, he car
sit on a log and look even more grace
| full than when OIL his feet. If l should
attempt to sit down and cross my legs
and smoke ten cent cigar, every liv
ing thing in this forest would get VI
and howl in ridicule."
"Yes, things are wrong" mournfullJ
observed the hare, "and l move tina,
we call a public meeting and SEE
what
At that instant there was n great
commotion at a point not far off, ant
it was soon learned that the fox haC
caught his tail in trap as he proceed
ed on his way. The giraffe was JUS
about to remark that the hare would
not have been caught in that traI
when q man who had just sat dowI
for a rest and a smoke sprang VI
with q:
"Whoop. By the great horn spoon
but l must have sat down on at leas
half a bushel of 'em, and by tomor
row won't be able to get out Of bed.
Moral.-"If you had been provided
with long, bushy tail like the fox's,
remarked the giraffe, "you would nov
be in the hands of the hunter"
"And IL it had been possible for yol
to sit down on a log" replied th'
hare. "you would now be dusting fo
the nearest drugstore for a remedy TO
hornet stings. That chap hit abOu
fifteen Of 'em in a bunch, and all o.
'em got mad at him at the same time
