THEY WOULDN'T SQUEEZE.
A Hyena and a Wolf met one day
in narrow path in the forest. BY
a little squeezing they could have
passed each other and gone about
their business, but the Wolf yelled
out: 'tHo. therel out of my path"
You are no bigger nor better than
ana was the Hyena's reply. AS@ss
This is my PATH
you're another!"
Thus they bantered and jawed until
each was determined not to give way,
and in the fight which ensued both
rolled over the bank and were badly
shaken up. They were still jawing
when a Lion came along and CURED
them apart, and observed:
THAT path belongs to me alone
and If 1 catch either one of you using
it I'll break your back"

THE HEN CONVENTION.
A Fox who found hard picking in
a certain neighborhood one day Wis
tied a farmers Dog and said:
'I have lately undergone a change
of heart. and I wish you to make
known the fact to your master
Fowls. They treat me as if L was
murderer, and it really hurts my feel
ings to see them hurry into the coop
at sunset. The farmer, too, seems to
distrust me, for he has made the coop
so tight that 1 cannot find single
knot hole. What sort of way is that
to treat Fox who is doing his best
to earn an honest living?
II presume you would like to state
your case to the Fowls in person.?
observed the Dog.
That's it-that's the ideal" replied

I have no wings, and they shouldn |

The Dog agreed to act as mediator,
and at noon next day the Fox crept
carefully through the weeds to the
rendezvous and crouched down to
await the coming of the Fowls. There
was presently heard a great whlrr
and clatter, and two score hens allght-
ed in the branches of the tree over
the Fox.

peered down upon the Fox.

The Fox not being able to fly up. and
the Hens refusing to fly down, the for
mer was skulking off when he met the
Dog who said:
