In the Clden time, during the era Of
Thoomyd-ha, q potter conceived an evil
design AGAINST a washerman, who lived
with considerable ostentation. and, being
unable to bear the sight Of the wealth
which the latter had acquired by washing
clothes. he determined to come to an
onen rupture with him. With this view
he went to the king, and said
"Your ~msjesty's royal elephant is
black; but il you we're to order the
washerman to wash it white, would you
mot become lord OF the white elephantT"
This speech vas not made from any
zeal for the king advantage, but because
he thought that if the order wal given
to the washerman according to his sug-
gestion, and the elephant should not
turn white after all, the fortune Of the
washerman would come to an end.
The king, on hearing the representa-
ton of the potter, took it for granted 1t
was sincere, and being deficient in wis
dom. he, without consideration, sent for
the washerman, and ordered him to wash
the royal elephant white.
The washerman, seeing through the
potter's design, replied:
"Our art requires that in order to
bleach cloth, we should first put it in q
boiler with soap and water, and then rub
it we'll. In this n only can your
majesty's elephant be made white"
The king, considering that it was .
potter's business and not a washerman'!
to make pots, called the potter, and saic
to him:
Here, you potter, q pot is required t.
lather my elephant in; go and make one
large enough for the purpose.
The potter, on receiving this order
COLLECTED together all his friends and re
%lations, and after they had accumulatet
a vast quantity of clay, he made a pc
big enough 10 hold an elephant, which Of
completion be laid before the king, VIII
delivered it over to the washerman.
The washerman put in soap and water
but as soou as the elephant put'his foo
} upon it, it broke in pieces.
After this the potter made many Others
but they were either too thick, so the
the water could not be made to boil 1
them, or too thin, SO that the first pref
sure of the elephant foot smashed ther
to pieces. In this manner being col
. stantly employed be was unable to stten
! to his business, and so he was utterl
ruined.

That million and q half voted by
Congress to help the Centennial along
