More on War Chest Fund.


Dear Made; | wonder if Gnkibus,
who was carrying col dwater in n sieve
to throw on the war chest idea, is ia
miliar with this bit of oriental wisdom
II is recorded that during the benign
reign OF Ali Hnrab MI, his two viziers
| Hashish and Michmas, came simultane.
ously into possession of 1000 shekels of
silver apiece.
Now it CHANGED that Hurrah and Othe-
! hell, puryeyoTs of automobiles TO his
majesty, early learned latter the manner
of automobile Dealers, the one thai
| Hashish, the other that Mchmash, had
the price.
And Hurrah arose, and cranked his
new car, and drove to the door Of Hash
I ish, and bowed himself low at his thresh-
old and said unto him
20 wisest of the yiziers of the kin,
thy servant brings thee fluctuations and
glad tidings And these be the tidings,
O Hashish
at thy door stands stately car
waiting, fit to be steed of the gods--and
his neck is clothed as with thunder
And what are 1000 shekels beside him in
the sight of the wise Take squint at
ii, old boy
And Michmash looked. and the car
was lovely in his sight And Hurrah eX
pounded unto him all the mystery of all
its parts, and Hsshish ran the car and
liked it and parted with 1000 shekels
therefor right gladly.
But Otheheli. before going to sell a
car to Miehmash, took counsel with him
self and said eraftily;
Peradyenture Miehmash is stingv, or
peradventure he is ignorant Would he
at once agree TO buy a mans car, not |
knowing even the individual parts there
of Shall not interest him the more by |
going daily to his house and selling him |
one part each day.
So he babe them saddle his best cam |
ell, and rode to the house OF Miehmash,
and, entering, addressed him.
80 Michmash, live forever 10, thy I
servant bringeth a rubber tire, a rich
for thy porte-coehere 1t is
thine for so shekels"
And Michmash, because he trusted
Othehell. purchased the rubber tire.
And every day thereafter at noondav
did Othehell bring Miehmash q part of
car, and every evening at shutdown did
consent to the purchase there
Of, until
One day Othehell came in great
truck, and in the truck was borne all
the machinery which, when installed
should make the random parts thus far
sold into real car, and he said
20 Michmash, live forever. This mag
lificent machinery will make thee car
glorious as the sun at MONDAY, and
'wift as the mother eagle. And To- for
900 shekels of silver is it not thine
And every part of thy machine, wilt thou
lot know and love it, for hath not thy
ervant sold and expounded all individ
lally?"
But Michmash answered and said unto
lin, "Othehell, whythehell didst thou
lot tell me before that thou vast selling
ne mans car, instead OF gewgaws for
he decoration of my porte eochere2 For,
low have paid thee already 1000 shek
Is, and the other 1000, is it not spent :
or hoohahs and cubebs and lucent syr
ps, and sherbet-not to mention several
harming additions to my haremy And
ehold thou, too, art loser, for hast thou Z
OF wasted many a long afternoon, and "
sed up many a camelpower during a
hese days of thy solicitation? Othehell, h
o to hell AZ
II is further recorded that Hashish .,
BOX more pleasure each day out of run
lg mans car than did Michmash out nj
contemplating the mud guards, top, f,
sdiator, axles and the like which n,
1orned his porte.cochere. m
I honestly feel dear Msbe, that the q
ar chest is a big enough proposition 10 X
