The Clever Artist

Not infrequently the art student f alJs in arrears for the rent of even nis airy peren on the "sixieme, " and landlords .have scant sympathyfor beingswhocan "soar to the empyrean, " bnt can't pay cash. One young man six months in ariears knew that his landlord was keepiag a watchful eye on his trunk, whioh stood opposite the door, feeling sure that while it was there the owner would not depart. Our artist painted a portrait of his truuk on the wall opposite the door and in the uight took himself and his belongings quietly away. Nor was he missed for several days. Good work sometimes serves very inartistic ends. -
