But the Ox had enemies. There was the Flea and his whole big Family. “We don't care whether this Ox travels or not,” said the Flea and his Folks. “All we want is some of his blood.” Where upon the Fleas eternally pestered the Ox and gave him That 'hired Feeling. Then there was the Tom Cat and his brothers—the Doubting Thomases. “We don’t know whether this Ox is going the right way or not,” said the Thomases. “A n y h o w, we’ll scratch his back for him.” Whereupon the Felines jumped on the back of the Ox and scratched him for fair, which made the Ox ex ceedingly sorrowful. Then there was the Fiste Pup and his Fellow Fistos—a whole litter of Fistes. “We don’t care how slow the Ox goes,” said the Fistes; “the slower the merrier for us. All we want is to lag behind him and bite hb Tail.” Whereupon the Fistes snapped con tinually at the Tail of the Ox, which gave the Ox a mighty mournfulness. I' lnaiiy the Ox, pestered constantly with the Fleas and the Fi lines and the Fi~te.~, got to looking sickly. He stopnod and lay down on his job, and there was no more going forward for him. KKV TO THE SITUATION: The town is the Ox. The Fleas and the Felines and the Fistes are those citizens who criticise every progressive movement and do every thing they can in their petty ways to make the Ox quit pulling in the right direction.
