Once upon a time a man who had a number of stalwart young sons, who ‘were always quarreling and fighting among themselves, undertook to teach ,| them that in unity there is strength. He had heard how one of his neighbors, who had a Jot of sons of thasame dis- position, broke them of their folly by demonstrating to them the strength of unity by means of a bundle of sticks,in this wise: They were sho :n how easy it was to break ene of‘ the ‘sticks at a time, also how hard ft was to break any of them when all bunched together. The neighbor’s sons saw the peint at once; and from that time on. instead of fighting among themselves, they band- ed themselves together and frequently whipped all the other would-be scrap- pers in the whole neighborhood, which was a source of much comfort and sat- isfaction to ‘their father in his old age The man who is the subject of this fable, seeing how well the scheme work- ed with neighbor’s sons, and being some- what<envious of their reputation, un- dertook to teach his own the same les- son by the same means. Therefore he accordingly laid in a supply of sticks to teach them the lesson. Now, it hap- pened that the sons were a little sus- picious when they walked into the ‘woodshed aud saw the old man- with all these sticks in hand, and with one accord they jumped onto the old gen- d pounded him nigh unto EE Te | bruised and ‘bleeding, he remarked: | “My sons, behold the strength of unity! Had you attacked me singly, I would have mauled the staffing out of every mother’s son of you.” Moral: The strength of unity can be demonstrated in more ways than one. Moreover, there are times when it is more pleasant to show that there is strength in onions than in unity. TIE BANKRUPT MAN AND TIE SAGE. A man who had failed in business went to a well-known sage for advice and addressed him thus: ‘“Oh, sage, I beseech thee, teach me how to succeed the next six months, won’t Salisbury be a hummer ? Now let us hear from some of the other towns in this county that claim to be boomers. Tue Somerset County STAR, of Salis- bury, made its initial appearance tRis week, looking clean and bright as a June morning, outlining’ its policy in a somewhat lengthy bow to the public, and not forgetting to make some pun- gent criticisms and suggestions which, when directed by public opinion, will find a landing on the foundation of solid rock.

Furthermore, I have given short weight and measures, did all my own work, even to milking the brindle cow, which I pastured on my wifes grave,and, in short, economized in every way possible. But in spite of all my economy, I have failed, owing to a scarcity of customers. Now, the sage to whom this man went for advice had grown rich in business owing to a liberal use of print- ers’ ink, and he retired from business and did nothing but lend out vast sums of money and draw interest on the same. After heating the story of the man who had failed in business, the sage took a fresh chew of tobaeco, spit out of the nearest window and then re- plied in deep, interest-bearing notes : “Your old-fogy methods have ruined you. You have been penny-wise and pound-foolish. This 19th centary is too progressive and an age.for such a loo- loo as thou art.
