An Author Who Was Constantly Ia
Financial Difficulties.

An Nuthor VINO was constantly Ia
Financial Difficulties.
OF Robert Buchanan, an author
whose books seem nowadays in a
fair way to be forgotten, there are
tome interesting glimpses in Cham
bers' Journal. A friend says of him
that he was a man who was con-
stantly in difficulties in regard to
money matters. He would have a
pocketful of money. one day and
none at all the next. He "gave
money away right and left to those
who appealed to his sympathy" and
he was absurd in generosity as re-
garded his friends. This. particular
friend says Of this trait:
"1 found it extremely difficult to
get him to accept any money due to
him for transactions undertaken for
me. If | asked him, How much do
1 owe you, Bard? he invariably an
swcred in the same strain, Eight
thousand five hundred and nineteen
pounds four shillings and seven
pence or Give me half a million,
and we will cry quits If we dined
together casually, one, two, six of
us, he invariably managed to get
hold Of the bill and pay it.
.:This trick of his, of course, be-
came familiar, and we seldom asked
him to dinner unless we had ar
ranged the matter beforehand with
the powers that be. When he dis
covered that fact he would say:
oh, this is a dukes affair. All right,
l expect to be treated as in a ducal
mansion 1t was the same with
cabs and trains. He was a large,
stout man, but he had a curious fac
ulty of reaching the cabman's hand
or the ticket office before the slim
NEST of. is.
"He was a confirmed turf specu-
lator-a strange pursuit for a singer
of songs and dreamer of dreams
and it need hardly be said he lost
far. more than he. gained, but when
he.was successful--and occasionally
his winnings were large-he always
managed to find a means of sharing
his good fortune with those less
privileged than himself. One of his
many methods of telling white lies
was this: How are you, x? |
owe you &2O.' This is the first l
have heard of it, would likely be
, the reply. oh, j took the liberty of
putting a'soNereign on King Charles
for you, and he started at 20 to l.
and forthwith he handed over the
money"

he Had No Objections.

He had held one of the latest
jobs in the gift of the local political
boss, and when he died there was
an unseemly scramble for his posi-
ton. The first man to reach the
boss had no particular claim upon
him, but merely placed his faith in
the adagc of the early worm.
"Guv'ner," said he, "do you think
you would have any objections to

Back to His Wife.
After haggling for twenty min
utes v e the price the dealer finally
consented to let the vase go for
+ 1919. Mrs. Brownlee knew she was
getting q bargain at that price, SO
she considerably refrained from in
sisting upon a further reduction.
"Have you the money with you to
pay for 1T" she said to Mr.. Brown
: lee.
t>"I've &c." said Brownlee.
-:"That'll do" she replied. "The
man can change it."
Somewhat reluctantly Mr.. Brown
lee produced the bill. With equal
reluctance the dealer refused it.
"No gotta change" he said. Sat
day aftanooh. Put ALA da mon, ina
da bank" - ..;
"But aren't there other shops
ear where they will change it for
you?" asked Mrs. Brownlee..
"No leava shop" the Italian ex-
planned. "Boy .gona home. Other
customer he wanta buy. Gotta stay
here" "N~~ "t'
Mrs. Brownies was disappointed,
but not discouraged. ..,. .,
81 must say" she said, rather. Sc
verely, chat you don't seem very
anxious to make a sale. However, ]
am bound to have that vase. Dear"
to Brownlee, suppose you get the
bill changed. You'll only have to
go down to the corner and buy a
cigar"
Mr.. Brownlee already had six
cigars in his pocket, but he obedi-
emily made a trip to the nearest. to-
bacconist's for another. He selected
( a strong, black cigar worth Is cents
and offered the ten dollar bill in
payment.
SMALLEST you've got?" asked the
clerk. -.
- Brownlee Iceland said it was.
Sorry said the clerk. II can't
change it. This is Saturday after
noon, and we've put most. of our
money in the, bank"
Mr.. Brownlee returned the cigar
and renewed his quest for small
change. The pursuit took him to
two more cigar stores, t~wo'groceries,
a drug store and a saloon. In the
latter place, by appealing to all the
other thirsty customers present, the
desired change was finally secured in
dollars, halves and quarters. Mr..
Brownlee then. took his bearings.
He computed that in his ~wanderings
he had traversed a distance of four
teen blocks and had consumed half
an hours time. As a result of that
calculation he was in bad humor
when he again entered the little
store.
"Here's the CHANGE he said,
"and a confoundedly hard time /
had to get it tool" .
Mrs. Brownlee. patted his hand
! alphabetically.
