Looking into the stream he saw, as he supposed, another dog with another bone. Desiring to possess that also he made a snap at it, when lo and behold! the bone he was carrying dropped into the water and straight way sunk to the bottom.— An Old Fable. This dog “took a chance” (as some of us humans sometimes do) and lost all he had. Maybe you at some time have grasped at a shadow in the form of a get-rich-quick scheme that promised everything but be came a total loss.

The dis tance travel«1«! by the rout«1 would l«> only thr«>e miles, and while It is un- derstood that -a considerable portion of the expense would be by reason of toll charges.
