UNCLE ELI's FABLES.
Most Things Win Come Out Right If
You Have Patience.
THE LANE AND THE MOLE.

The LAMB AND THE WOLF.
This isn't the fable as told by Aesop
IN one of his after-dipner speeches, buzz
q fable told by an altogether different
Teller. That's the reason for lew
changes.
One day the Lamb who had heard
that the Wolf had threatened to make
French chops of him on the first oc-
casion, went boldly forth into the fields
alone and made no halt until he reach
ed the banks of a creek From his hid
ing place in the forest the Wolf had
been watching matters, and presently
he came out and pretended great thirst
and started to drink of the waters of
the creek.
Now. then, by my teeth and claws.
but who has done this?' he shouted,
after ducking his nose to the water.
ANY kick about anything?" quietly
asked the Lamb.
You bet your wool there Isl In
order to spite me you have rolled the
water so that it is unfit to drink, and
I'm not the clothespin to stand that
from anything smaller than an ele-
plant"
my friend. do you not observe that
] am several yards below you, and
even if had rolled the water it could

a look around, but. I don't like your
color"
GAS for that I had no choice. I'd
have preferred old gold for lilac my
self. but nature fixed it to suit her own
IDEAS ....- ..-..-.,. -.......
"But the crook of your hind legs

Then III take them to the black
smith and have them Strengthened out.
Anything else today?"
Yes. there is. I'm down on your as
a Lamb, and always have been, and
now propose to eat you and get you off
the EARTH
And the Wolf who had simply. been
seeking for an excuse to make an at
tack, rushed upon the Lamb with open
Jaws and Well, he met with sur
prise party. In about three minutes
he was the deadest Wolf in Schemer-
horn county, and Uncle Reube, who
had sat on the fence with a grin on
his face and watched the proceedings,
shut up his jack knife and went back
to hoeing potatoes with the remark:
Moral: "Thars SIGH a thing as a
sartinty, and SIGH n thing as unsar-
tinty, and between the two of 'em the
Teller who thinks himself the biggest
thing on wheels may git the gaul durn-
ed hubs knocked off'n him."

farmer, and he lifted Bruin up and fed

When the man on the straw stack
saw the pieces coming he lodged and
cried out:

THE HONEY AND THE BUNDLE
BEE
One day the Honey Bee, who was
digging away at a sunfiower to find
the spigot and set the molasses to
running, encountered a Bundle Bee
of the usual generous proportions who
was loafing his time away trying to
find something eatable about hickory
axhandle. and the little worker decided
that it was a good opportunity to re-

THE DOG AND THE FARMER.


One day the Dog, who had run the
tread-power for the family churn for
several years without complaint, got to
thinking things over, and after a time
he cOmmuned with himself to the end:
Here am, Shaving my life away on
this old churn and what in blazeS do
get out of it? But for me the churn
couldn't run. and if the churn didn't
run there would be no butter, but has
any one ever seen me eat of the thing /
have produced? Not at all, and I'm
going to quit
Not hearing the noise of the churn
the farmer came around after awhile,
and finding the Dog idle he asked:
What's the matter with the churning
business?"
i've quit butter making,;" replied the
Dog.
''Oh, see Wall. stick to it,"
The Dog was permitted to go away and
lie down in the shade, but when noon
came he appeared in the kitchen as
usual for his dinner.
''Nothin' dom today said the farmer,
as he passed him by
But it's high noon.'
Yes, purity high
And I'm hungry"

Then where's my dinner?"

my friend, and I guess you don't either.

I'm contendin' is that while you may
not like butter. it's butter that buys

bones-no dinner. Go out and try
