People used to be sent for left handed monkey wrenches and hen's teeth, on April Ist, and furnished much amusement by their enquiries therefor. Such simple ruses have given place to more astute jokes as time ad vances, but still the spirit of "All Fool's Day' prevails on the first of April. The point that we wish to make is that good folk might take a course in being fooled at this season -of the year, so as to be proof against sellovs of fake stocks and countless other a of crookedness, that will likely stalk abroad in the land just as the local money market begins to loosen up a little more. Just ag the seaveher for handed monkey wrenches left- has gone out of vogue, the buyer of the hona-fide gold brick has ceased to exist. But this does not smean that the snares of the crooked are not spread with care, ; So he wise. Take your fill of being harm- lessly fooled on April 1st, but fooled on other It may prove heware of being days of the year. costly. THE ASS GOT HIS REPUTATION It seems the donkey had not shown his true colors when the world was young and was wide- ly esteemed ag a most gaoaciony beast. A famous sheik, exceed- ly pr] of his large herd, titer the Prophet himself to test their wisdom. Mahomet ad- dressed the asses: "Tet test your wisdom,' he.said. "Answer me this (ues. tion: What should an ass re- quire for a three days' journey? And they counseled among themselves and then made reply: "OQ Prophet, any ass should require six bundles of hay and three bags of dates." This answer was eminently wise hy company.
