The Lion was king in his own right,
But the Fox WOULD steal Chickens.
So the Lion made law that he should
steal only those roosting on limbs
five or less feet high, and that no
thefts should be committed in the day
time. While it was true that the Fox
did sometimes jump higher, and that
he sometimes began his depredations
before shutdown, still, it brought in rev.
enue, for it was provided that the Fox
should bring to the king one Pullet
each day.
And then, the Skunk WOULD suck
eggs. So the king made law that
he should suck none upon which a
Hen was sitting, and none more than
six months old. and that three fresh
eggs should be paid into the public
treasury each day.
Now the Elephant was Mayor of the
capitol. He saw how the Lion had
sold the Fox and the Skunk and the
right to commit crime, and SO, al
though the law was against it. he
drove a bargain with the Monkey to
protect him from Spot when he
plundered the pantrys up on Towser
Street and Tabby Avenue. It was
the same principle as the Lion prac-
|ticed with the Fox and the Skunk. So
he told the Bear, who was his Chief
of Police, that when there was COM
plant of robbery to be sure not to
arrest the Monkey for he was ION the
square, and that as the Monkey would
setal any way he ought to be regulat-

Wolf had a penchant for nice spring
Lambs. So it was agreed that if the
Wolf would bring the Bear two Lambs
each week that he would always find
some one else guilty when Mr.. or Mrs.
Sheep complained that their children
had been kidnapped.
And one day the Lion woke up with
an awful scandal on his hands.
Mayor Elephant, and Chief of Po-
lice Bear, and the Chief detective
Ferret were arrested and found guilty
of protecting thieves, and gamblers
and big nit Gorillas, and accepting
brides from low resorts. The Maybe
printed shocking stories On the
Shame of Minneapolis" and the
'Shamelessness of st. Lynx" and the
public postal system got all snarled
up, and offensive political stenches
arose from the island of the Cookoo.
And King Lion, who was proud of his
| lineage, proud of his history, and
proud of his patriotism called the Owl,
Chief of his Wise Men, and asked him
what he should do to clean his king
dom of such foul corruption. Where
upon the Owl said, $50 long as you
