Bierce, Ambrose, 1842-1914?

"Fantastic Fables"

Observing that the Lion gave no
attention to the matter, the Skunk, keeping carefully out of reach,
said:
"Sir, I beg leave to point out that I have set on foot an
implacable odour."
"My dear fellow," the Lion replied, "you have taken a needless
trouble; I already knew that you were a Skunk."

"ARE the industries of this country in a flourishing condition?"
asked a Traveller from a Foreign Land of the first man he met in
America.
"Splendid!" said the Man. "I have more orders than I can fill."
"What is your business?" the Traveller from a Foreign Land
inquired.
The Man replied, "I make boxing-gloves for the tongues of
pugilists."

A MAN of humble birth and no breading, who held a high political
office, was passing through a forest, when he met a Monkey.
"I take it you are one of my constituents," the Man said.
"No," replied the Monkey; "but I will support you if you can urge a
valid claim to my approval."
"I am a self-made man," said the other, proudly.
