we had forgot that we did not know which side we were Y ere on whether we were a oc rat or a demic democrat rat rit ao to for fear we should charge on the wrong side weli well just keep still at present P S we hope some of our friends will inform us which party we belong to just before all de get here because if they succeed in in bringing and sowing plenty of seed we expect rats cfall of all ali kinds will grow so plentifully we shall be obliged to side somewhere or get bit when we should expect to be as bad off as the rats rits under the Dutch mans barn we have read the fable somewhere and will j juit jail asi ast tell it FABLE the tre RATS AND BARN BARK A dutchman had a very good barn full of grain gram and all the rats in in the neighborhood were hungry and wanted some of the D dutchman s grain but the dutchman told the rats thit his grain was for the laborer and the rats must work and raise grain for themselves this only increased the hunger of the rats for the dutchman s grain hut bat the bim him was waa so iii hiah gh and tight they could devise n i means of gettin getting gr at the wheat only by undermining the foundation of the barn so at it they went in in sm dl
