UNCLE ELPS FABLES.
Always Something Doing to Point a
 Moral
THE PEASANT AND THE WOLF.

THE PEASANT AND THE WOLF.
 One day, as the peasant stood look ing down upon the dead Lamb which he had found as he crossed his fields, he was approached by the Wolf, whc said:
 Friend, thee seems to have met with a loss, and it is needless to say that you have my sympathies."
 Yes, the poor Lamb is gone" sighed the Peasant.
 As we must all go sooner or later. suppose you wish to break the news to your wife as soon as possible?"
 Yes" ~
 Well, you can jog right along, and as it is about monday. you can get your dinner while about it. l shall only be too glad to sit by the remains while you are gone" > The Peasant expressed his thanks and started for the house, but no soon- CT had he broken the sad news to his wife than she cried out:
 What, dolt, you left the Wolf on watch over. the dead Lamb?"
 Aye, truly I did
 "But even an idiot would have known better than that"
 Yes, I presume so, but you haven't heard all thestory yet. That Lamb died of eating Paris Green, and the Wolf will die of eating the Lamb. A dead Lamb is a loss of 50 cents, but the skin of a dead Wolf is good for S4, with whatever extra the teeth and claws will bring. I may never set 9 river On fire with my smartness, but prithee. old gal, I'm in the Lamb busi- ness to stay
 Moral: Firstly, A put up job is apt to react on the butter; and, secondly. the wife who has nothing to say has nothing to take back and chew the rag over.
 THEFOXES AND THE HARES.
 Having announced to the animals of the forest that he would listen to any and all complaints, the Lion held audi ence one day to be approached by the Foxes, who said:
 70 King of Beasts, it is of this that we complains: We much desire 10 make a closer study of the habits and characteristics of the flares, but their strange want of confidence in us pre- vents. No sooner do they see one of us approaching than they scurry away under ground and leave us hurt and chagrined. We pray thee that it should become known through the forest tha [ no Hare shall run away from a Fox"
 "Um," unused the Lion. but that seems to be a good idea. Yes, Ithink I'll issue a proclamation that that eff fect.'
 Thanks, O King"
 Never mind the thanks. While I'm about it I might as well proclaim that all flares must enlarge their burrows so that the Foxes can visit them.'
 lis an idea so grand that only a King couldhave conceived it!" ex- claimed the delighted Foxes
 And so long as I have got the old machine oiled up and working I may as we'll grind the full grist. I make third proclamation to the effect that no Fox shall hereafter run away from Wolf, and -
 Alas! your Majesty, but that will be our doomI''
 And a fourth, that should two or three fine, fat Foxes happen around here about my dinner hour, which IS just now, it would be my duty to yum. yum! yumi''
 Moral: When you set about to down the other fellow, take heed whereon you stand.
