An Interesting Little Story, SuccinctIy Told in
Three Brief and Clever Chapters

some others present, including
poet of renown and sorry scribe,
from the far Up-Country.
25. And they all knew the "Old
Enemy" referred to by the Big
Man." to be Charlie the Brave,
of the county of Bolivar, who had
announced his purpose to stand
for the succession of James the
Beautiful; and, like Saul of Old,
26. They trembled at the men
tion of his name.
27. And they all, save Earl the
Eloquent, prostrated themselves
before the Truly Wise, pledging
him their mighty influence.
28. For they well knew he
would remember them with some
thing more substantial than empty
honors, when he should come in
to his kingdom.
20. But Earl the Eloquent said:
''Lo, | am tricked; am despoiled
of my Inheritance;
80. Il was the boy senator,
the right arm of the Gang" the
stop and the support of the Big
Man," before the Truly Wise was
thought of;
81. / shall stand against him,
and appeal to the people in my
own strength;
80. And woe to him, and woe
to him that called him; for be
shall be rejected of the people. y
33. And the boy senator went
up from that conference with sore
toe that hurt him all the way to
the top of his head.
81. And sorrow fell upon the
clan; and many of them, murmur-
ing, said, we are undone, A
house divided against itself cannot
stand;;' we have thrown away the
best card in our DECK
35. But Anse the Discreet said,
1T is not so, that we have lost
him; for how can any one man
long hold out against the clan.
36. After bit we will bring
him again into the fold-frst, by
little chastisement; then, when
he has recognized his lost condi-
ton, by feeding him well. y

man, though fool, need not err
therein;
12. That he had, from his early
manhood up, in both houses Of
the legislature, striven for moral
ity, and temperance, and fairness,
and justice among men.
13. And that he had made sacri-
fees of his own business welfare
to force the aggregations of
wealth to pay their just share of
taxes, and obey the laws of the
land.
IA. That he belonged to no
clan, no cabal or clique, had bow
ed down to no boss, or responded
to any other sense of duty except
his conscience, and recognized no
political authority Of control ex-
cept the instructions received
from the people themselves.
Is. And he came still preaching
the doctrine (strange to some
ears! y, that the people should have
the right to choose all their SER
wants and ought not to be tricked
out Of this forever by Anse and
his Clan.
16. And because Of his affabil-
ity, industry, honesty and brave
cry, as a true servant of the peo-
pie, great muItitudes believed in
him, and flocked to his standards.

CHAPTER ii.

/. Now, behold, besides the
Truly Wise, Earl the Eloquent
and Charlie the Brave, there
were yet three others in that
country who aspired to the success
sion of James the Beautiful,
2. Emmett the Speaker, Ed
mond the Pleasant, and Upton
the Handsome;
3. But one Of the six, save. the
Truly Wise and Earl the Eloquent
ever owed any allegiance what
ever to the powerful clan;
4. And, altogether. there were
many thousands in that country
who had never bowed down to the
modern Baal.
5. Now, the people loved Em-
met the Speaker, though they
heard him with some Indifference,
because he was too mild for the
hustling, and was overshadowed
by his neighbor, Charlie the
Brave.
6. But Earl the Eloquent was
the storm petrol of the campaign
tanning the political waters
with fury, and endeaVoring to
drown the others beneath their
mad waves.
7. He promised to bust the
bucketshops, to drive out the da-
go, and to reserve the desirable
delta lands as an inheritance for
the white man from the hills; al
SO, to rescue the people from the
octopus, and its partner, Charlie
the Brave;
s. But said nothing about Wis
iting punishment upon any indi-
viduals, on account of their sins,
because, forsooth, he wanted their
votes. :,
8. And many believed in him,
for the time being.
10. Edmond the Pleasant came
forth also, in his sunny disposi-
tion, nodestly pointing to the
record as proof of what he had al
ready done for the people, and as
an Earnest of what he would con-
tinne to do and be.
II. And this record Of Edmond
the Pleasant plainly showed-in
way that one who might run
could read so that a wayfaring

eomforted; for they knew Anse
the Discreet to be a True Evangel-
ist, and that no member of the
clan had ever persistently allow
ed principle to stand between him
and pie.

members of the clan in the con-
ference, and many outside of it,
who disregarded the choice of
