One of the stories Of the late Victor
Cherbuiiez, the French-Swiss man of let
tiers, illustrates finely the true spirit OF
the publisher. Bulos, the editor Of the
Revue des Deux Mondes, once had at his
country house in Savoy a numerous com
pany of literary people. one of whom
was Cherbuliez. Cherbuliez contributed
regularly every other year a novel to the
columns OF the Revue. and a story OF his
was ut that time running in the period
ical.
The guests had been out for walk,
and had amused themselves with gather
ing mushrooms. which were cooked for
dinner. As the company were sitting
down, it occurred to one of the party
that undoubtedly some Of the people who
had taken part in gathering the mush-
rooms knew nothing about them, and
that there might be poisonous fungi in
the collection.
This reflection so affected the company
that all the people present, with the ex-
ception of Cherbuliez, declined to par
take of the dish. He alone attacked it
with gusto.
Thereupon Buloz showed sudden and
intense alarm.
"Cherbuliez! Cherbuliez! What are
You about?" he exclaimed. Remember
that you haven't finished your story in
the Revue!"
Greatly to his relief, the mushrooms
turned out to be innocuous. and the story
was fnished.-Youth's Companion.

q book concerning his casa which he in
tends to distribute broadcast through the
country In order to interest the American

to that Of Dreyfus. and insists that 4
congressional investigation, conducted by
skilled legal talent, would ov erturn the
