FAIRLY TRAPPED.
The Clever Manner In Which BaIzac
Outwitted His Publisher.

t'uDlSleEs
No man knew the value Of Balgac's
writings better than the famous French
novelist himself, a fact which he never
failed to impress upon his publishers
when terms were being discussed.
On one occasion, as Balzac sat smok-
ing in friendly fashion with a we'll
known publisher, he remarked casual
ly:
Now, l want your candid opinion.
Honestly, do you believe that have Us
much talent rs Frederic SOulie?"
''My dear BalzaC, how can you ask"
answered his unSuspccting companion.
"Why, you have twice his literary ca
pacity."
'Well, as l consider his works i'm
meaSurably superior to anything of
Eugene Sues, suppose l must have
more talent than Sue toO?"
"Of course you have"
"Twtce as much, according to you.
We'll, am glad. And now tell me hon
estly, as we are discussing literary
merits, surely am as good as DUmas?"
"Better-better."
THANK goodness. our opinions coin
eide. And now, since my novels are
worth twice as much as those Of Fred
eric SOulie and Eugene Sue, demand
in common justice to be paid double
what you pay them for theirs"
There was nothing to be said, says
one Of Balzac's biographers. The I'M
fortunate publisher had been trapped
and owned it.
