The inhabitants of CAvaitlon, a town in the Vau.
close, celebrated for its melons, having formed the
project of founding a public library, wrote to M. Alexandre
Dumas to ask him to aid them by a present of a few of his
works, The popular novelist wrote back to say that he had
given instructions for 200 or 300 volumes of his works
which have already appeared as a reprint to be sent to
them, but that if they liked his books, he also was fond

constituted to him regularly by municipal decree a life rent
of one dozen melons a year, the expense of carpittge to re-
main at his charge,
