THE SNAKEY PEACE"
A Fable.
By Eugene H. Bla
of the Vigilantes

A snake having invited tame
squirrel to play on the ground and
enjoy the fallen acorns, swallowed d
the little animal half down before it
knew what had happened.
But the squirrel catching its
breath. twisted around and caught
the snakes neck.
The squirrel attacked me-" the
snake managed to say to u man
who had come up with stick to see
what the trouble was.
Let the man decide what 81 just, "
the squirrel offered, and we will
abide by it,"
The snake objected 81 must, as
things stand today, in the name of
the Serpentine Power, decline this
court as prejudiced.
The squirrel asked what the snake
would agree to.
An intimate meeting for discus
sion would be the way TO remove
the numerous intentional, or unin-
territorial MISUNDERSTANDING. Let us
crawl into this hollow log where we
can't be annoyed by outsiders and !
will cheerfully disgorge and return
to the status quo ante
lust as soon as the belligerents
had got out OF sight in the leg and
the snake could finish annexing the
rest OF the squirrel, its fangs darted
out of knot-hole and sank into
the mans foot.
Back -hre The world had better
have look in at the peace confer
ence.
