SELECT CULLINCS
He Really Needed the Money.

The envoy of the sultan OF Morocco
had an unanswerable argument when
the French government objected to
the income Of $4,000 which he de-
manded for his master. The French
minister of finance pointed out that
such an allowance was impossible,
seeing that the president OF the re-
public himself drew only 100000
year. Yes" replied the envoy, but
then it Is to be remembered that Presi-
dent Fallleres has only one wife.
whereas my august master, the sultan,
has thirty" That envoy was evident
ly a man Of parts. He knew exactly
where the shoe pinched and how to
base revenue upon expenditure. And
his computations were eminently fair.
A more mercenary envoy would have
insisted upon fat rate Of 100000 n
year per wife which wOuld have
amounted to $9.OOO.OOO a year for the
thirty ladies. But he was willing to
allow wholesale prices and the usual
reductions upon quantity. In fact,
he brought the rate down to about
$4,000 a year per wife. and those Of
US who have wives will know that
the estimate was reasonable and
proper one.-ATgOnaut
