Rig Price for a Penny Book.


Among the most valuable books in
The world are those few still extant
which bear the name of John Gutten-
burg, a printer and publisher, who
iourished soon after printing was dis
:overed-145O. The value In which the
works are held Is shown by the enOr-
nous prices they fetch on the rare Oc-
.asiOns when any Of them find their
way to the auction mart.
At the commencement of the present
century, the house of q certain peer,
who possessed the first book John Gut
enburg ever printed, was broken into,
he thieves carrying off, among other
treasures, this book, which for years
after was diligently sought for, with
out success.
One Saturday evening, some time
since. a blacksmith stopped in front
of booksellers barrow in High street,
Camden Town. He knew nothing Of
books, but deserving one looking older
than the others, he planked down his
penny, and, throwing 1t on shelf
when he got home, forgot all about 1t.
One of his dodgers, porter In the
British Museum, noticing that 1t was
dated 1850, asked permission to show
1t to the museum authorities. A day
br two later the blacksmith was asked
to call. The secretary, who saw him.
then asked what he wanted for the
book. Not knowing what to reply, the
man said:
what will you give"
what do you say to f6O?" was the
answer.
The establishment which overspread
The blacksmith's face was taken by
The official for disgust, so saying, II
will see II we can give any more" he
hurried from the room, returning pres
entity with an offer Of zoo, which, need
,ess to say, was accepted.
Sooner than have lost the book the
museum would have paid $4,000, but
In that case the transaction must have
been sanctioned by the Purchasing
Committee, ECO being the limit Of the
librarians powers.
The librarians of the great Paris L.
prary would have cheerfully paid
$500 for this book.-Answers.

How Tipt0es Carried . Letter.
Little Mary and her kitten Tiptoes
were very fond OF each other. and
when Mary had to be sent to her un-
cle's, four miles away from home, to
attend school, one Of the hardest
things for her to do was to part with
kitty.
A few days after she had left home.
as she was walking slowly toward
school one morning, what should she
see in the road few feet from her but
Tiptoes, trotting straight toward her
uncle's house. She ran and caught
her up in her arms, and laughed and
almost cried at the same time.
But this was not the strangest part
Of what Tiptoes did. for kittens often
find their way over long distances.
When Mary returned from school that
night she wrote q letter to her NAM
ma, telling her Of the kittens adven-
ture, and then tied the letter with a
ribbon around Tiptoes' neck and told
her that she must 60 back home and
carry the letter to mamma. And what
do you suppose. for this Is q true story !:
A few days later Mary received a
letter through the mail from mamma
saying that Tiptoes had come home
and delivered the letter safely.
Now don't you think that Mary has
reason to think T1ptoes q pretty smart
