FABLES.
From tho Kama Mull and llrccic.
A man whoWas naturally monn and
closo listed ittul hated the worst way to
cough up tho wages of a hiiod girl be
gan to get playful with tho conk until
he excited pin jealousy of his wife,
who determined to lay a nap for her
spouse and gel some, tangible, evidence
against liim, Sliu therefore sunt the
girl home onvly and took liar place in
tl u kitchen, ,It was dark in tho cull
nnry department when tho mean man
relumed frdfn his placo of business,
but his wife who was doing the detec
tive net did not strike a light, for slio
had a plan. And the mean man who
was onto tho situation laughed Inward
ly as he slipped out into the dark
kitchen and catching his wife planted
a kiss on her cheek. Thon ho laughed
out loud as his wife struck n light and
told her that it was one on her. But
tho woman wasn't entirely satisfied
that it was all right, and the next daj
she discharged the cook and from Hint
time on prcpnred tho meals herself.
Then the mean man chuckled again
and congratulated himself because he
wns three dollars and four hits ahead
every week.
Moral You never can tell what a
man will do to save a few dollars.
V
Un one occasion some enterprising
animals concluded it. would bo a good
thing to organi.u a sort of medical so-
clety among the beasts and birds for
the purpose of discussing matters per
taining to the public and private health
of the community. Vaiious animals
and fowls, were invited to prepare pa
pers to bo read on such subjects as
they might choose. At the first meet
ing of the society the hen, who hud se
cured a plane on tho program, went
clucking to tho front nnd commenced
to read a papor on tho subject, "The
Proper Care of the Teeth." When the
hen announced her subject the j.iy bird
(ell off a limb nnd tht mastiff, who was
acting as chairman of the mewling, at
onco announced the meeting adjourned.
Moral It is frequently tho caso that
an individual is most anxious to tnlk
on some subject of wnicli he knows
nothing.
V
A provident dog who had boon pre
sented with h good juicy bono look it
away and buried it for future use. A
few days after this ho was giving a
bevy of improvident canines a lecture
on the necessity of caving. Aa the
provident dog warmed up to the sub
ject and became eloqueut in advocacy
of economy and the necessity for pro
viding for the future, he made the dec
laration that if a dog was hard up and
out of grub it was his own fault. While
he was giving this talk one of the im
provident curs who had found out
whom tho bone was buried, clipped
away from tho crowd and that evening
whon the provident dog went out to
look over tho winter supply there was
not a thing to bo seen except ab irregu
lar shapod hole in tho ground.
Moral Sometimes the best laid cal
culations get knocked out
V
A lady who had labored under the
impression that she was a groat vocal
ist, was invited to sing at an evening
entertainment. After sho had sung
tier song ami was hungering for com
pliments, she met a sad faced man by
the name of lirown nnd said, "I didn't
think 1 sang At all well tonight; did
you think so, Mr. lirown V"
"No, I thought it was a little tho
worst I ever heard," replied tho sad
faced Mr. lirown.
And from that timo 011 tho vocalist
marked Brown off her list of speaking
acquaintances.
Moral J ust from tho standpoint of
expediency, when a female singer asks
for voui opinion, it is prudent to hand
hor out a gilt-edged prevarication.
