Not Guilty of Profiteering.,
Ebur' years ago, said Mr. Charles
Venin, the landscape painter, In one of
his confidential moments, I gave 'up
the double life of commerce. and art
for the single blessedness of painting.
While expidtring rural New England,
for a sketching ground i injured my
shoulder and called on a country prat
titioner. Ile was -a man of culture and
of reals rofessionl attainments. When
I left that part of the countryI asked
the good doctor to send me his bill.

one hundred and fifty dolars for pro-

and thought: "Well, that is pretty
steep! A hundred and fifty dollars
for 'three visits to the ,office of a coun-
try practitioner." •
I said to myself; "You' confounded;
medical profiteer, I'd like to see you
got it!"" I ,was about to write 'him
what our English friends .call a
"snarly" letter, but on pondering the
matter I decided to pretend to think
that,, he meant to write fifteen instead
of a hundred and fifty,. and mailed a
chedue for fifteen sibilars with his biil.
Three days later I opened -a letter
from him, returning my cheque. I
murmured: "So yon are going,to in-
sist on payment. Well, you can site
me"„
But bn opening his letter I was. as-
tonished to find these words;
"Dear Mr. Venin: I herewith return
your- cheque. You made a mistake,
My bili is one dollar and fifty cents."
