The practice Of specializing In theater

and one day this worthy while shaving
the novelist asked him why he did not
sell the tickets given him by the man
ayers of the theaters where his plays
were produced.
ITO whom could sell themT asked
the author of the Three Musketeers"
"Why, to me. II you like" replied POr-
cher. "And what would you do with
themT asked Dumas. That's my
business" replied the barber, continu-
ing to lather the bronzed face Of the
famous story teller.
But give you tickets whenever you
ask for Them" said Dumas. "Ah, one
or two are not sufficient for my pur-
pose" responded Porcher. 81 must
have all your tickets and every day
too" "And you will pay for themT'
said the dramotist. Cash" was the
simple yet practical reply.
Dumas ut that moment was very
badly In need of money, so he at once
concluded the bargain. POrcher, who
shortly after this gave up shaving and
cutting hair. made similar bargains
with other authors and quickly be-
came rich.
