A good Bolster Renan anecdote is
told by French paper. One day Bots
sier arrived at Rename home with a
beaming face, saying: Now III tell
you a piece Of news that will humiliate
you. My autograph has fetched high
er price than yours" THAT does not
surprise me-" Renan said serenely
"And where did you hear this 2" 1t then
turned out that at an auction a day or
two before a Renan autograph had
been sold for francs and a Bots
sier for 8. "Well," Renan went on.
now let me tell you the reason. There
were three faults in the spelling Of
your letter, which is now lying here on
my writing table. A friend of mine
was at the auction and made higher
bid for the letter after noticing the ar
tificial gems that adorned your prose.
He brought it to me In order that
might return it to you instead of its
reaching the public, which might get
a bad impression of the accomplish
ments Of members Of the French acad-
emy,"

An eminent painter was once asked
If he thought art students did well to
go to Europe to study. He said that
undoubtedly the atmosphere was more
artistic in Europe than anywhere else
but that Paris as a city to study and
work in was overrated.
To illustrate his meaning he said that
a certain rich mans son after three
years in Paris wrote home to his ia
Their:

Der fully half have entirely recov-
cred.
When one stops to think Of the
