Origin OF the Practice Of specuIat-

fnr In Thenter Tickets.
The practice Of speculating IN thea.
ter tickets, strange as it may appear,
was started by the elder Dumas. He
patronized a Paris barber named Por-
cher. and one day this worthy while
shc wing the novelist asked him why he
die not sell the tickets given him by
the managers Of the theaters where
his plays were produced.
"ro whom could | sell them asked
the author of the Three Musketeers."
"Why, TO me, If you like" replied Por-
cher End what would you do with
themY asked Dumas. That's my
business" replied the barber contin-
uing TO lather the bronzed face Of the
famous story teller.
"But | give you tickets whenever you
ask for them" said Dumas. "Ah! One
or two are not sufficient for my pur-
pose" responded Porcher. Il must
have all your tickets, and every day
too" And you will pay for themY
said the dramatist. Cash" was the
simple yet practical reply.
Dumas at that moment was very
badly in need OF money, so he at once
concluded the bargain. Porcher, who
shortly after this gave up shaving and
cutting hair made similar bargains
with other authors and quickly became
rich
