GAME LAW VIOLATIONS
That a number of huntcra have been
giant and the injury of the fair city
One bright npnng thi* lug giant
mmw opportunity to do hiM greviou*
work by entering into a campaign
wherei ntherc wan to be nameti men
who would lie chief iiervantii for the
fair city. To aMMure the well work-
ing of hiM plan* to injure he rauned
to be ruined up among the people
certain ones whom he mused to dub
themselves the "holier than thous"
TheHi- men he endowed with the wit
of a nimble tongue and from their
mouths he caused them to say grev-
iouR things, one about the other.
Now under the "evil spell" of the
giant these men waxed themselves
into fits of speech against each other
until all thoughts as to the good
name of the fair city passed from
their minds; neither could they see
the manifold blessings that were
theirs—but only the evil one thought
of the other.
Now this giant knew full well that
he could not spread his power into
the minds of ull the peoples of hte
city, so he spent his time and made
his efforts to one end only—that of
causing leaders of one side to "goat"
leaders of the other.
Now it pleased the people of this
fair city to choose their leaders from
one of the contending factions, and
in this the evil mind of the giant saw
opportunity to spur the lenders of
the defeated side into passions of
envy. In this condition of mind,
which suited the giant right well, he
found opportunity to cause these men
to think more and more evil, one of
the other, and when he had done his
work he looked upon it and said to
himself—"Now is the opportune
time to make known unto these sim
pie-minded folk my greatest work of
evil toward this fair city. Now is the
time I will teach them the whys and
hows of the "Political Goat."
The giant well knew now that the
men whom he had caused to struggle
one with the other, had passed that
stage of mind when they would see
the evil ways into which he was lead-
ing them. So with the confidence of
his great power he caused one side
to "goat" men of the other side—af-
ter which the evil-minded giant went
to these men whom he had caused to
be "goated" and spake thus unto
them: "See you now how these evil-
minded men have caused that you
be "goated" and held up as things of
shame to all the people. Why is it
not time that you turn and defend
yourself?"
So seeing the way as the giant had
distrvMM of the fair city and the labor
and struggle going on amoung the
t>eoplr thereof, rauned to lie spoken
unto them wimc word* of caution and
warning, wherein she said unto these
people:
"Go thou about thy daily task, our
<eople of the fair city, and let not
hyselves be into the ways pointed
tut to you by the evil mind of the
Slant—I cannot hold the ear of the
>ncn whom he has caused to trife,
>ne with the other, but I speak to the
ommon folk and say unto them—Be-1
hold these men have forgotten how
t is said unto men 'reason thou, one
with another, for they have listened
o the false witness of the evil-
minded giant when he has pictured
n their minds grevious evils of
which he has caused one to charge the
other.'

And the fairy said further unto the
ieople—"be happy people that you

;ay unto you—Go thou about thy

them they are playing the game, and
know you further that should it
please the giant to next year cause

for such is the power of the giant."
