A Stubborn Genius.

Robert Chambers told me he was once
talking with a man of real, rugged gen.
ius, who came to q sorrowful end. He
said to the genius: "The population of
this world is about 1900, 900, 900 hu-
man beings. The little religious body
to which you belong contains perhaps
100000. OF that number not 800 could
give an intelligent account of its creed.
Yet you think its creed sets out vital
matters. Is it consistent with your be-
lief that God Almighty would permit
just 800 of his creatures to know those
things and keep all the millions igno-
rant Of them?" The genius considered
for minutes space, then replied,
eyes, think it quite right that God
should do that" whereupon the good
Robert Chambers said very resolutely,
"Then I'm tremendously sorry for you.
And he never spoke to the genius save
on transient incidents any more.-Long.

His First Story.

A certain author, now well known to
fame and fortune, once in the battle
for Bread wrote q wild Indian story
for northern story paper. That was 12
years ago, and to the story he gave his
real name. He received fat check for
it, but year after year went by and-the
story never appeared. Il finally passed
from his remembrance, until the other
day, when be received a letter from the
publishers informing him that it would
shortly put in an appearance in serial
form. That made the author nervous,
and he forthwith sent the following tel
egram:
Suppress story and return manu-
script and will pay three times amount
of original check."'
The publishers replied:
''Can't do it. We know a good thing
when we have it. The story is in your
best vein.
Letter after letter, telegram after tele-
gram passed, but no, he didn't have
money enough to buy that story. So he
has written to all his friends and critics
and has explained the circumstances
and now awaits as cheerfully as possible
the weekly slaughter of the red Indians
of his youthful brain. Consti-
tuition.
