AN AMUSING FABLE.
Traveling through the sagebrush
country a Jackass met a Rabbit who ex
claimed in great astonishment .
"Good gracious! how did you grow
so bi? You are doubtless the largest
rabbit living."
"Xo," said the Jackass, "you are the
smallest donkey."
Alter a gooU deal of fruitless argu
ment the question was referred for de
cision to a passing Coyote, who was a
bit of a demagogue and iesiious to stand
well with both.
"Gentlemen," said he, "you are both
right, as was to have beeu expected by
persons so gifted with appliances for re
ceiving instruction from the wise. You,
sir" turning to the superior animal
"are, as he has acutely observed, a
rabbit. And you" to the rabbitt
"are correctly described as a jackass. In
transposing your names man has acted
with incredible folly."
They were so pleased with the decision
that they declared the Coyote their
candidate for the Grizzly B-arship ; but
whether he ever obtained the office his
tory does not relate. S.11 FrancUco Ex
