that will causo tho disaffected to Hock to
him as their standard bearer. It would
bo well to keep a closo watch over this
usurper of power, who hat for somo

tho care of a servant, with tlio projKi
supply ol corn (or its food. Ho sooner,
however, had tho master taken his do
parturo than tho servant began reducing
tho rations of tho poor beast by one-half,
and selling tho other half for his own
benefit. After ono month's absence tho
master camo back; his first rare was to
witness his pet's breakfast. Of course
this time tho ration was entire; but to 1
to tho servant's confusion, tho elephant
had divided it in two parts, eating only
one, whilst it left the other untouched,
and thus denounced tho theft.
