HAD TO. ADMIT DRAWBACKS"
Doubtful, However, II Auctioneer's
"Candor" Interfered With the
Sale Of the Estate.

A certain London auctioneer. In ad.
dition to a fine personal appearance
and splendid Evolutionary talents, Is
possessed Of considerable culture and
knowledge of human nature.
At book sale this gentleman would
read with exquisite taste passages
from the books he was selling. with
brief biographies and criticisms OF
their authors, reciting hexameters
from Greek and Roman classics. and
rendering passages from humorous
writer's with a tone and air so lu'
dicrous as to set the room in a roar
of laughter. Thus he often won higher
prices for books than those got at the
shops.
An amusing example Of his clever
ness in extolling an estate is the Ian.
guage with which he once closed a
highly-colored description Of the prop
erty he was selling. For few mo-
ments he paused, and then said:
"And now. gentlemen, having given
truthful description of this magnih.
cent estate, candor compels me to ad'
NIT that 1t has two drawbacks-the lit
ter of the rose leaves and the noise OF
