The Pcrable of the Camels

We sojourned in Egypt, I and Keturah, and we rode on Donkeys, and also on Camels. Now, of all the beasts that ever were made, the camel is the most ungainly and preposterous, and also the most picturesque. And he taketh himself very seriously.

And we beheld a string of five Camels that belonged in one Caravan, and they were tethered every one to the Camel in front of him. But the foremost of the Camels had on a halter that was tied to the saddle of a Donkey.

And I spake unto the man of Arabia who had the Camels, and inquired of him how he managed it.

And he said, each Camel followeth the one in front and asketh no questions. And I come after, and prod up the last Camel.

And I said, doth not the first Camel consider that there is no other Camel in front of him, but only an Ass?

And he answered, Nay, for the first Camel is blind, and knoweth only that there is a pull at his halter. And every other'Camel, followeth as he is led, and I prod up the hindermost one.

And I inquired, how about the Donkey?

And he said, the Donkey is too stupid to do anything but keep straight on, and he hath been often over the road. And I said unto Keturah, Behold a picture of human life, for on this fashion have the processions of the ages largely been formed. For there be few men who ask otherwise than how the next in front is going, and they blindly follow, each in the track of those who have gone before.

And Keturah said, But how about the leader?

And I said, That is the profoundest secret of history; for often he who seemed to be the leader was really behind the whole procession, and at the head was nothing more sensible than a Donkey.

The fools make the fashions. and wise men follow them.

For so long as the world is content with the kind of leadership that now doth guide the fashions in clothes, politicks, and such like, the Donkey will not lack for occupation.

How

the Scxophone Mcde Me A Social Success

It was only a short time ago that I scoffed at the saxophone. f never dreamed that it had such possibilities. A social bore, finally I turned to that instrument as a last desperate resort.

My expe4iment was a huge success, overnight !

Now, I am the life of every party. "Here comes George !" they shout gleefully, when I enter the room. "He's brought it with him !" "Good boy, George !" These and kindred phrases greet me on every hand.

I've definitely arrived, and I trwe it all to the discovery that a saxophone holds four times as much liquor as a hip fask.
