The Thoughtful Warden

The Treasury and the Arms

The Christian Serpent >

A public Treasury, feeling Two Arms lifting out its contents, exclaimed: 

“Mr. Shareman, I move for a division.”

“You seem to know something about parliamentary forms of speech,” said the Two Arms.

“Yes,” replied the Public Treasury, “I am familiar with the hauls of legislation.”
