Zbc %ion. N days of yore, four beasts of the tleld made a compact to live together. They were the Lion, noted for superiority and strength ; the Gazelle, beautiful and grace- ful ; the Jackdaw, wise in his own conceit ; and the little, timid Hare. The Owl ruled over them with equity, and promulgated his decrees from his abode, called The Academe. On a certain time the Owl wished to possess a scepter, which might be the symbol of his sovereignty and strength. To the Lion, eldest, most privileged, and most responsible of his subjects, he relegated the task of finding him a suitable scepter. Through the Forest of Learning the Lion majestically trod. The l ' eautiful Gazelle he saw grazing in large numbers, for they are gregarious in their habits.

So he gathered a large bundle of twigs from the oak trees. They were young, vigorous, and green. Some were more flexible than others, but all of them tough. He returned jo fulIy to the Owl, and laid these twigs, one by one, before him. The Owl, with the help of his Council in the .Academe, took up a few of them, and, using prodigious energy, snapped them asunder. You see, my Son, he said kindly, but firmly, the fragility of these single twigs. Now weave the remainder together. The Lion did so. Now attempt to break them. This the Lion could not do.
