And lo, a great war broke out, and the thunder of the captains and the shouting were heard by the multitude. There was great bloodshed and the children of men were slain by the cord. Now it came to passthat in these days all men were wanted, aud a chief. tain came unto Cleveland and spake unto him in a lond voice, saying: *'Behold thy companions have taken their swords and are slaying their the boys to make the fur fly.” Then Cleveland answered and spake unto him, saylug: “I have even hearkened unto thy words. I snuff the smoke of the battle afar off, and the farther off I snuff it the better. Behold, I am not mashed into my system; therefore, wiil I not go. But that the country may be saved, I will even hire a substitute, and pay him divers sheckles to make a target of himself.” = And he went unto a man who bad journeyed from adistant land, and paid uno him several pieces of silver and sent him to the war. Now, when the war was over, the hireling came to his home, and he was footsore and stricken, and behold he died in the abode of the poor, and he whose name was Cleveland did not give him even a dose of castor oil to make his last hours more pleasant. And behold, years rolled along, and people waxed old, and some were gathered to their fathers. And it came to pass that there was a great upheaval of the earth at the city which is Charleston, and there was much suffering, and the women la- mented greatly, and the multitudes gathered about the ruins and spake unto each other, say- ing: “Behold our misery is greater than we can bear.” And the people inthe country around about sent in shekles and talents such as they could give, and Cleveland, who was rich in onyx and myrrh and precious stones, contributed less than did the hireling who sold wares in the abode of the artificer. 80 there was much indignation, and the sons of men threw dust on their heads and spake one unto anoiher, saying: “Behold this man gives me a pain in the back.”” And it is written upon the tablets that when he whose name was Cleveland did yearn to be a great ruler on having two or three cubits of cold steel shoved | 1 val your money.

Anda voice came out of a cloud and spake unto him in this wise: Bebold, thy goose is cooked! Go to, go to! But after more years had rolled around, Cleveland stood before a mirror, and gazing upon his powerful form, said: ‘Behold me, for I appear great and powerful in mine own eves, and by the powers of Grover Cleveland there is no other man to match me in greatness, especially in mine own imagination. Behold, there is no man among the Dimmekrats so great and mighty as I. Iam truly very great, yes, even greater than the whole tribe to which I belong. Peradventure the people may by this time have forgotten my past record, and if I again strive to become thelr ruler, surely they will fall upon my neck and weep for joy.” And it even came to pass that Cleveland did according to the yearn: ing of his heart. and once more did he try to be- come a great ruler. And behold when his can- didacy was announced, all the tribes of Benja- min smiled and smote their cymbals together in token of chestnuts. And there was great joy amongst all thetribes of Benjamin. But sundry and divers chieftains of the Dimmekrats refused to smile, and they were exceeding wroth, and many who formerly bore Cleveland's banners thréw dust upon their heads and smote the earth with his banners, saying: “This man Cleveland hasbeen weighed in the balance and found want: ing in his upper storey, therefore will we vote for Benjamin, who has been a wise ruler instead of a walking distionary. He is our kind of people.” And they did even as théy sald and Benjamin got there Eli. And again a voice came out of a cloud and spake to Cleveland, saying: “Again thy sin has found thée out and thou canst not fool even the Dimmekrats. The people have no use for such a loo Joo as thou art, and thou art now doomed to ‘innocuous desuetude,'’ where there is weeping and gnashing of teeth,” So it is written on the walls of fate by the prophet of the house of Benjamin, oe sta Are You Going to be Married?
