WIG TOO SMALL FOR FRANKLIN
Representative From the New Amer.
lea Had to Appear Before French
King in Bald Pate.

Benjamin Franklin was about to be
presented to the French king On the
occasion of his first visit to France In
the capacity of representative from
the new America. The court custom
of the time demanded that one going
to an audience with the king must
wear a wig of the proper fashion. A
count. who had Franklin in tow, sent
a wigmaker the day before to take
Frunklin's measure and fit him out
for the audience. The wigmaker ar
rived at F~ranklin's lodgings, measured
the poll of the great American fore
and aft and around and about and
took his departure. An hour before
the audience the wigmaker returned
with the wig. But when Franklin at
tempted to put II on 1t would not
fit; he couldn't begin to get 1t on his
head. "Sir." said Franklin TO the
wigmaker, "your wig is unfortunately
too small for my head"
"Pardonnez moi. monsieur" replied
the wigmaker. your head rs vastly too
large and quite beyond the fashion Of
the court"
Franklin appeared. therefore. al

gray hair.-Detroit Free Press.
