MAN HE WAS LOOKING FOR
Mr.. Outlets Could Give Steady Job to

Qualification.

Mr. Underdone Outlets, proprietor
of the Speedy cafe, was VIGOROUSLY
hard-hearted. The most weeping
widow who ever graced a melodrama
couldn't have wept a slice of stale
bread out of his restaurant without
the price. So, when a pale and timor-
GUS bum approached the desk and

Needed Only the Beginning.

Anatole France once agreed to write
an essay on Moliere. He repeatedly
broke his promise to his publisher,
who finally threatened him with legal
proceedings unless a certain number
of pages were delivered within a spe-
cited time. France hurried off to his
lawyer, who was none other than Ray
mond Poincare, now president M.
Poincare heard his story and said that
the author would better comply with
the publishers demand. Its 1mpossi-

was the reply. Genius is infinite pa
tience. l can't possibly do it in the
time," said France Nevertheless be-
gin" replied the advocate, "and we'll
see" So Poincare dictated the first
sentence, "Moliere is a Partisan" and
added, 60 on from there" France
was complacent, perhaps inspired by
the suggestion of the words, and the
brilliant piece of criticism was easily
done in time.
