DUMAS ON SNAKES.
a CNsu~ racteristic story of the Impe.
cunious French Author.

a Characteristic story of the Impc.
curious French Author.
When NJ. de Villemessant was found
ing lie Grand Journal. he wrote to Du-
mas, asking for his assistance. Dumas
at once prepared a romance in six vol
Imes. In the meantime the editor
asked him for some articles or cause
ries, which were to be published imme-
diately. II have the very thing!" cried
Dumas. Il was just about to start on
q whole series about snakes" "On
snakes?' Eyes. l have the entire sub
ject at my fingers ends. | spent half
my life studying them. There's not a
soul who knows anything about the
dear, interesting little creatures. You
will find it will be a great success
this article" The editor, half con-
vinced, agreed to accept this article
ION snakes" saying to himself, after
all, Dumas is very likely TO hit on
something effective IF you want a
little cash in advance, you can draw on
me-" II have plenty" said Dumas, 'for
the first time in my life, l confess; but,
Still, l really have enough
They parted, and the editor returned
to his office. On arriving there he
found Alexander's secretary waiting
for him with the following paper,
ready signed:
Received the sum of so napoleons, on
account of my story. A hearty squeeze
of the hand A. d.
The next day the secretary arrived
with the first feuilleton and a letter.
which ran:
My Dear Friend-Be kind enough to
hand the bearer the sum of 8 napoleons.
A.. d.
The very same evening came a dis
patch from Havre:
On receipt of this please send 20 napo-
Icons to my lodgings &C Frascri. A
thousand thanks. A. Z.
An hour later came another:
My Dear Boy-I should have said IS.
not 20, maps. You are my best friend
The feuilleton is on the road
A. DUMAS.
The finale of this capital story is no
less characteristic. The feuilleton ar.
rived by post on the following day and
was found to contain exactly four
lines of Dumas composition, two at
the beginning and two at the end Of
the paper. Thus it ran: x copy from
my good friend, DR.. Revolt, the follow
ing particulars about snakes" Then
came a long essay on that subject, all
copied out il his own neat handwriting
and closed by this original remark, TN
my next l will deal with the boa con.
strictor, the most curious Of all the
snakes BLACK and White.

Emperor William to give a statue of

Uphues. the sculptor, and said:
-Uphues, l want you to make an
other statue of Frederick the Great"
Il should be delighted. your majes-
ty, replied the professor.
This was the first the sculptor had
heard Of the project and il was, ap-
parently. the first that anyone had
heard of the emperor's intention. His
majesty then told Prof. Uphues that
the statue was for presentation TO
the people of the United States. and
his cablegram to President Roosevelt
on the subject was written and sent
the next day.

unable to make any headway what
