Not Pierre Lott.

Those who aspire to literary fame
or who are in anywise pulled up with
pride and vainglory because it has
come to them may be surprised to
find it is not a thing which is envied
and coveted by all men, for in a GER
tain French journal there appeared
recently the following announcement
inserted by a rat-trap maker OF
Lyons: ITO All Whom 1t May Con-
Germ: NJ. Pierre Lott, Of Lyons, sole
inventor of the automatic rat trap,
begs to state that he is not the same
person and that he has nothing in
common with one Pierre Lott, a wri-
ter of romances." We should have
liked to have seen the face of "one
Pierre Lott" when he read this notice,
and hope that any tendency which he
may have shown toward sinful pride
may since it appeared have been
chastened to a becoming humility
