SOME LITTLE FABLES IN LILT

Two Pharisees
A Pharisee of gracious moin who
loved of all men to bo seen, once to
tho temple took his way to pose be

up his cunning eyes towards the
bright and sunny skies ho gave loud
thanks the story ran he was not

but in his place in evry land some
other Pharisee will stand, and stand

Father, but to the crowd and then
imagine he is viewed with honor by
the multitude.

Senator J. B. Foraker, Cincinnati
A-Dear Sir: Your attitude oi

in your speech at Belief ontaine, Ohio
September 23? and the statements
made therein, are considered by tho
board of directors of the Receiver and

but he and you took different view.
You thought he meant your wife and

"I've scriptural warrant I will state;

The Pharisee of olden time has long
sinco struck another clime, and all the
world declares with vim 'tis surely
hot enough for him. The Pharisee
who grateful feels because tho profits
of his steals were spent to further
other schemes will sometimes feel
just how it seems. -. '
MORAL:
This life is full of guile and strife
But graft lurks in tho New York Life.
The Fence
Once on a-time a man of note
who often . swelled his chest and
throat and gave full vent to lusty
speech until he was dubbed "Chaunce
do Peach." stood forth upon the
stump with fears ana voice choked
full of sobs and tears, arid, said: "O,
friends, alas, alack;, the nation's
doomed to ballyhack! '
"That is, to say, 'tis doomed to die
unless the people quickly fly to. such

and loot abound the whole fiunncial
world around. The men like me.
would gladly give their lives that this
great state might live.
"Don't listen to such men hear
me! Don't heed wails of calamity.
The men who run our high finance
are men who never lose a chance to
work for the republic's weal, and for
your ev'ry trouble feel. Rely on us
we'll save the state and will preserve
its honor great."
All this he said, and vastly more,
and on his honor loudly swore that
honest men like him should be sot
up to guard sweet liberty. But one
fine day the news reveals some mighty
big insurance steals. And people
chased him to the woods and caught
"Do Peach" with all the goods.
MORAL:
A search of such men will disclose
Tho "goods" concealed about their
clothes.
"The Ungrateful
A senator whom you all know, who
hails from far off G-hi-o, declares it
is his full intent to stand beside the
president and win reforms the people
need and ston the rel 1 of railroad
greed. But somehow ho recalls to

A poor man on his homeward way
upon the close of one cold day, found
by the road a little snake froze stiffer
than a wagonstake. He took the
viper to his breast and lugged it home
an honored guest. He thawed it out,
and fed it, too Now what did that
mean old snake do?
The sake rose up upon , its tail and
roughened ev'ry slimy scale. Then,
bit the hand of him who had pre
served it from a fate so sad. Un
grateful snake, you would have died
if not brought to that fireside, and
now you've jabbed your poison in he-
neath the poor man's punctured skin.
Ungrateful is the onerjr whelp that
bites the hand stretched out to help.
The party this Ohio man pretends to
lead but 'tis his plan to pose as
friendly, then to bita and some there
be who think it's rlgnt. He says the
president's "O. K." then throws him
down most every day.
This man who would he lost to
sight without the glow of calcium
light; this man who owes his office
fat to Teddy of the Campaign Hat,
seeks now to sink his dagger keen
tho president's own ribs between.
Which is the worst, tho snake or man?
Please answer that one If you can.
MORAL:
Ones snake thawed out should well
'suffice.
Only a sucker gets bit twice.

a business question, and one without
political significance, relieves us of
any' possible charge of endeavoring to
influence in any way the result of the
present campaign in Oh'c.
The transportation conditions in
England and the United States are
so much at variance that your argu-'
men,t concerning same can have no
weight with those who are familiar
with these conditions, although It
might impress those not conversant
with the subject.
You say:
"To take control of the rate-making
power is "to take charge of the rev
enue of the roads, and that means
that the government is to assume the
responsibility, not only of determining
what rates shall be charged, but also
of necessity how much money a rail
road shall be allowed make."
No proposed legislation that wo
know of would have any such effect.
The Esch-Townsend bill, which
passed the house of representatives at
the last session almost unanimously,
provided for the substitution of a
reasonable rate for one found by the
interstate . commerce commission to
be unreasonable. It is safe to say
that but a small percentage of tne
rates in effect in the United States
would ever be called in question.
. In; your statement in answer to Mr;
James J.- Hooker,' printed in the Com
mercial Tribune, you say:
