The Prophet Jonah
Compared to Teddy
It came to pass as Jonah (1 R)
passed thru all quarters, that he
took passage on a ship bound for
the Land of Gold. This ship was
called the "Old Liner," and she
carried a banner on which was
written in large letters, "G O P.
The ship was laden with a cargo
sent by the rich firm of Tariff,
Trust & Co., to the firm of Greed
& Graft Co. And it came to pass
as they sailed that a great storm
arose by reason of contrary winds,
which blew from all
insomuch that the
(Guggenheim) feared
the great ship should
di regions,
shipmaster
greatly lest
perish in
the sea. Meanwhile Jonah (T R)
feeling secure and not fearing the
storm, retired (from public life)
down into the sides of the ship
and was fast asleep. Then the
ahipmaster, in great alarm, came
to Jonah saying, "Awake, O
sleeper, arise and call upon thy
God, that we perish not." Then
jonah arose, but when he "Saw the
fearful storm and heard the roar-
ing winds and also saw the fears
and tumult of all those on board,
he began to be sore afraid, so
Jonah said to all on board the
ship: "Sirs, I see this is not a fit
ship to be in; I see also there is
danger of losing ones' good name
and his reward, so I will not ad-
Venture myself further with you.
But you may cast me overboard
into the sea."
Now the shipmen were loth to
lose so good a man from their
number, so they cast out much
valuable cargo (delegates at the
Chicago convention) into the sea
: thinking peradventure to save the
ship. Now the ship being driven
with fierce winds the shipmen
I took up Jonah and cast him forth
into the sea. Then there met
i Jonah another ship (a whale) all
jprepared into which Jonah enter-
ed immediately, while the storm
ceased not its raging and the Old
Liner sailed on with all its boat-
j men, its cargo and its servants,
but has nevermore been heard
from even unto this day.
Then the captain (God) of the
ship (Whale) into which Jonah
entered, gave orders to bring
Jonah safe to land, which was
done after three days' quiet sail-
ing, Jonah 2-1 o. So Jonah obey-
ing the voice of his God, began
to proclaim the truth to the peo-
I pie. He told them to forsake
wicked ways and to shun the com-
pany of "evil men and seducers
who shall wax worse and worse."
So Jonah went all over the cit-
ies and all over the country and
, people came in multitudes to hear
Jonah and all with one accord
gave ear to the advice of Jonah,
who testified that every man's
burden should be made lighter.
That every man should receive
more wages than a penny a day.
That every man's voice should be
heard in counsel with the elders
of the land, and with many other
words did he testify and exhort
saying, "Save ourselves from
this untoward generation."
So the people from all the
tribes from the north land and
from the south, from beyond Jor-
dan and from the great sea, they
came to join themselves to his
company, also they did strive
with each other to do him great
honor, and they counted Jonah
as the greatest noble of the land,
whom they also took and made
him their king (president). Also
the former king (Taft) of the
realm did abase himself and con-
fess his sins and cover himself
with sack-cloth and ashes. So
the common people did rejoice
with all the others because their
taxes were made less and every
Uian given a chance to be equal
to his fellow and there was great
prosperity thruout the whole
realm.—A. M. Deuel, in Clare-

Dutch Courage
Bootleggers operate in Oklaho-
ma to some extent and generally
make the whiskey they sell. It
is known locally as forty-rod stuff,
because it is guaranteed to kill at
that distance.
In a case in Durant, where the
quality of whiskey was in ques-
tion it was explained to the court
how dynamic it is. A Durant
man, it seems, took home a pint
of the mixture. He spilled a lit-
tle of it on the floor of his shack.
A rat came out of a hole in the
wall, took a sip and went back.
In a minute the rat came out
again, took another sip and re-
tired to his hole. Presently the
rat came out and took a third sip.
Then instead of retiring to his
hole, the rat stood upon its hind
legs, waved its forefeet in the air,
gritted its teeth and squeaked:
"Now where is that d- - cat?"
