ager than he had ever made in his life be-
fore.
About five years after the dragon was
Matched, Elijah P. Jopp found himself max
ing an extended tour of the continent of
Europe and drawing crowded houses every
where. The dragon was EHjahs best friend
now, and had been trained to do a lot of
snowy tricks Elijah would fill his pipe and
the dragon would light it for him. Elijah
would then take a piece of iron, hold it in
the dragons breath until 1t became red hot
and hammer 1t into a horseshoe, using the
dragons back as an anvil. A live sheep
was brought on the stage, there was a
strong smell, such as fills small houses at
dinner time, and the sheep had disappeared.
The dragon would finish up the entertain
ment by roarings3by kind permission of the
mayor and corpo4Rtione and the local aurist
would retire to aSfillas3n the country in less
than twelvemQNh.
Elijah and th61drag0n were very happy
together, and were simply coming money,
when one fine Morning after a successful
performance in alittle town in the Black
Forest Elijah woke up to find that the
dragon had disappeared. He ran around
the little town wringing his hands, and the
crier did the same with bell; but nobody
had seen or heard anything of the dragon
One Of the burgomasters had missed his
wife, but that. was alb He behaved in a
very gentlemanly manner about 1t, and
made no fuss, but even Ii he had claimed
damages there was nothing to connect the
from the country around. The dragon had
simply vanished
Elijah was very unhappy man. 1t was
not so much the loss of his income that
troubled him, for by the help of the dragon
he had already made his pile. It was the
loss of his friend, his constant comrade, his
fireside companion, so to speak, and all that
made life worth living to him. With the in
domitable will Of his countrymen he set out
on a search for his dragon, but he went
with heavy heart, for sharper than its
own teeth was the pang that Its desertion
had caused him.

The New York SIN says: at seems

THE MUTUAL FIDELITY.

Much Of late has appeared in the
newspapers in reference to the above
company. In Baltimore, its home,
fraud is charged, and in Richmond the
charge has been repeated by "reputa.
bic citizens who said they had teen in
duced to pay $25 in weekly Install
ments to the company on the promise
that they would receive $40 at the end
of twenty weeks.u Reputable citi-
zens" no doubt, but did they exercise
good business judgment? The Louis
lana lottery is no longer doing bust
ness at the old stand" but there are
spasmOdic efforts at imitation the cOun-
try over and the man who buys ticket
and fails to win has no cause for COM
plant. Speculation, gambling may be
the better word, has a peculiar charm
about it, and most men are inclined
that way, but men who do yield to
the charm should realize in advance
that while the promise is to all there
are but few prizes for distribution.

erich quick, "bucket shops" &c, are
treacherous shores ahead, thickly strewn |
with wrecks, and yet the gleam Of no
light houses seems light enough to warn
