About four years ago London

bookstall very old book priced at
two cents. lie bought it, and, after
attempting 70 read II, threw Il aside
and soon forgot 1t. One of his dodgers
happening 20 see the book recently,
and, noticing that Il was dated 1450,
asked permission TO show it to the
British Museum authorities. A day
or two later the blacksmith was re-
quested TO call, and the Secretary, to
his surprise, asked him what no would
take for the book. In eome slight
confusion the man said, what will
YOU give?" ''Win $3.50 suit you?" was
the answer OF the Secretary. The
blacksmith was so dumbfounded that
the Secretary thought he was ridicul-
ing his offer, and therefore immediate.
" increased TO $500, which was at
once accepted. Sooner than have lost
the book, however. which was the
first book that Gutenberg ever print,
