Kendall, Montana, December 2, 1902. 7. FlIBLES Of THE CHINESE Humor Ccntained in Mcst of Them—Etory of Crows nd Ovi!s There is a pleasing humor in most Chinese fables which renders them highly readable, and, in the applica- tion, serves as a sugar-coating to the pill, says the New York Evening Post. Th:s humor clops out in the very first table of which the Chinese have any Record. It is to be lound in the \Histories of the Contenaing States,' where a certain prince uses it as an illustration of the need of a whole- some unity among those who, tnough entertaining internecine feuds, have cause to combine against a common foe. \A mussel was basking on the bank cut a river,\ so sass this table, \when a big bittern caa.e by. Seeing it move the fowl put its head on one side and watched it, then it drew near and pecked at the mussel; but that wily shellfish clapped Its jaws togeth. or like a trap and held the bird's beak fast. Then said the bittern: if you don t open today, and 11 you don turn me loose tomorrow, someone will find a dead mussel lying about ne:e. To which the mussel made reply: . 11 I don't open today, and Ii I don't lease you tomorrow, they will see a dead bittern holding up his toes on :he beach.' At this point a flanerman came by and seized Lne pair of them.' Most Chinese tables point a whole some moral, nor is it ditficult to sec the application of the foregoing. An- other quaint little story illus.: '''CF the similarity of the Uninese mind to that or the more enligutened races for it plajs the part oi a satire on the pernicious habit of borrowing trouble. who.— wo 5.1k of two obi wo_ne, mingling their tears on the bank o uoof in iut onsJiauf . grief at what might have happened if MU( lereddy nad fallen in there and been drowned, the Chinese oave the iol lowing: \A certain rich old ...en o the Ch'i state gave his annual part) to commemorate his birthday, and Invited all his sots and grandsonf to grace the occasion. In the midst of the jollification, howcver, he wax observed sitting apart witn an caves Mon of woe upon his fare. Lein% asked what was the matter, he re- plied, . was only thinking whaf trouble I should have in inviting all my guests when my 200th birthday came round.'\ The fat itfwlitt'l likely to rust for want of hani—ing in China Is one which gives in a clear fashion the advice: \Never put faith in a renegade. In all countries renegades should be handled .wito a pair ol tongs; but it seems in China there is especial need tor a strong fable to point the advice, for in duping and being aupeu the great pure empire nits no equal.\ The crow& and the owls, Ittavethei-r colonies adjoining, were so near and dear to each other that there was no love lost on the boundary line. They hated each other with a hate passing that of neighbors. By day, when the owls slept, the crows tormented them. and by night, when crows slept, the owls were not found irresponsive In the neighborly solicitude. 'me slaughter among the crows was great and one morning, after counting the slain, a many -wintered crow shook his head and said that the only way to preserve their peaee was to exter- minate the owls. he then directed his friends to peck him and pull most of his feathers out. Alley did so and It was a most badly handled looking crow Nat put his head on one side and winked his eye and .strutted off to play his game upon ti4 owls. Arrived at their dwelling, he asked them to take pity on him, as he was in a sorry plight, and Lae Vermilion bird forgave him for ever having set up a.; a crow—a degraded creature that attacks one fa, his own kind. pecks it almost to death and then turns it out. They heard his tale and pitied him. Very soon he was com- fortably lodged In the owls' domicile. where be lay low till his leathers were growing again. Then one morning, as the winter was coming on, he set to woCk and piled great heaps of brush wood before the mouth of the owls' dwelling, saying that he fore- saw a heavy snow storm and wished to protect them. Wnen everything was complete, the wily crow, watch- ing his opportunity when the owls were within, snatched a burning brand irom a peasant's fire and set the fun- eral pyre in a blaze. Then, as they ficw out and were scorched, he stood with his legs apart holding his sides with laughter at their dying strug- gles. This fable, however, although very much used by the Chinese, was probably derived from an Indian sour( e. Another, which is purely Chinese, is remarkable for its suntlety. A tig- ar was making preparations to devour lox, when the sly one claimed some ..onsideiation Irom the fact that he Nits superior to all other animals of ...he forest. \And it you want proof of the 'act,\ he continued, \come with _e and I will show you.' They then •Iked together through the forest, and all the other animals fled before LA; iiaer, seeing this, glanced A ma companion and was struck with .he Lordly manner in which he waved ire other animals off. \Verily he said, - this is the king of beasts;\ and; eing too stuplo to see that he him- self was the object of terror and re- „ect, lie decided not•to attack the Montana Railroad Company Ntarest rail line and quickest route to the new gold camps of ,he Judith Basin.
