THE PARABLE OF THE PIGEONS

l stood upon the platform of am
Elevated Railway in a Great City
And there flew Pigeons around me,
and they walked upon the Platform
close up to my Feet. And | said, This
remindeth me of Venice where | have
fed the Pigeons of Saint Marks and
would even do so here.
And | looked about me, and | be-
held box where there were Pea
nuts. And | dropped a Coin in the
Slot, and l received some Peanuts
in mine hand.
And | showed them unto Two Pig
cons And l laid them down upon
the Platform. And the Two Pigeons
flew both of them to eat the Pea
nuts.
But one of the Pigeons flew at the
other one ard he took him with his
Beak, by the feathers that grew upon
the top of his head, and he Pulled
him, and he Picked him, and he per-
secuted him shamefully. And the
Peanuts were scattered and wasted,
and many Of them were thrown upon
the ground.
And when the Stronger Pigeon
had Oppressed the weaker Pigeon
so that the Weaker ceased to resist,
then did the Stronger one fly back,
and pick up what was left Of the Pea
nuts. And there still were left more
than were good for him, but he ate
them, every one. And the Weaker
Pigeon came and drew near and
watched every Peck and Bite of with
COvetous Longing, yet came not he
nigh enough to provoke the other
one to leave his Peanuts and attack
him. -
And when all the peanuts were
gone, then did they both fly upon the
Railing, and they waited for some
other man to come along and give
them some more Peanuts.
And when l beheld this, I said,
Oh, We foolish birds! How evil are
your doings for there had been
enough for you both and more than
We both could eat! Why did ye not
eat both of you all that We wanted,
and then call in other pigeons to con-
sumo what was left? For this had
been to your profit, both of you, and
for the profit of other pigeons, and
the encouragement of those who re-
joice to provide Peanuts for Pigeons.
And now, behold, repenteth me
that that which | intended for good
should have become the occasion of
strife. and | shall consider well be-
fore | waste more of my Hard-earn-
ed Cash on Peanuts for Pigeons that
are so unworthy of my Generosity
And I considered how men and ma
tons use the gifts Of God and Won
dered what God thnketh of us.
And | said, Oh, We foolish Pigeons,
will We continue to be as foolish as
men?

You expected, o. acwse, that you

that you weren't; or, if perhaps
have not known just that, | haXe
known that / never loved you and
have always planned, anyhow, on
having my fling, married or single.
l am going to be honest with you
just this once-I have looked on you
merely as some one on whom TO I'M

the future.
In my selfishness l have considered
you as d dollars and cents PROPOSE

ried you.
Love had no place in my scheme
of existence. My mother taught me
that love and marriage were a game
of finance in which the winner pick
ed the bank roll.
And, Tom, shabby as it sounds to
say it, Ive been picking my hand
over, tabling the smaller numbers,
wildly for the larger ones
and playing carefully so that once in
my grasp they all stayed there. That
IS why you, of all the rest, remained.
You thought you were winning
when really you were being trapped.
Why my mother believed as she
did | do not know! Perhaps she
played everything on love and lost.
