Unappreciated Modesty.

Balzac, the celebrated French author
was on very intimate terms with the late
Baron James Rothschilds. Several of Bal.
zacs works are dedicated to the famous
millionaire, who was, of course, not without
means.
On one occasion, when Balzac was about
TO undertake trip to Vienna, and, as is
usually the case with persons of great lit
erary ability, he was short of funds, he
applied to Baron Rothschild for financial
encouragement, and 5000 francs were
placed at the poets disposal In addition
to this Baron Rothschild gave Balzac a let
ter of introduction to the Baron's nephew
in Vienna.
While en- route to Vienna Balzac read
the unsealed letter of introduction. which.
upon his arrival in Vienna, he did not de-
liver, as the tone of it was too cold and
formal to suit him. Upon his return to
Paris, Balzac called upon the great He
brew banker, who asked him if he had
utilized the letter of introduction.
No" replied Balzac with considerable
arrogance, 81 did not not. | have brought
1t back with me, and here it is"
" am very sorry to hear that" replied
Baron Rothschild, smiling. "Do YOU see
those little hieroglyphics below my sigma
ture? Well, if you had delivered the
letter, those little hieroglyphics would
have caused my nephew to place to your
credit the amount of $4,000 francs"
BalZac bit his lip and was silent.

startled when Young America began last
evening something after this style:
"Glasscock he grabbed the stick an hit

''Why, Artie," interrupted his aunt.
what caused Mr. Glasscock to do such a
cruel thing? Wasn't he arrested?"
Hey. What you given us?"
"You said Mr. Glasscock struck some
one On the nose"
Nav, l didn't, neither. He lust
smashed the ball on the nose an it went

pires and few idiotic children.
