And | often the reader discovers that Vol- | taire Himself smiled at them. Voltaire was strong-willed. He in- | sisted on having his own way in | everything. He seemed to feel an almost unbelievable dislike, even on the most trifling ogcasions, to yleld any point upon which he had once resolved. A curious instance of this 1 peculiarity occurred when Voltaire { had a whim to provide himself with a cutlass. Marmontel, who was pre- sent at the time, is authority for the facts of the odd story. ! The merchant arrived with a bundle of cutlasses, and invited Vol- taire to select one. After much time pent in comparing weapons, Vol- faire decided on one that pleased him It was, indeed, just the cut- lass he wanted. He asked how much the merchant wished for it. "Only a louis," the merchant said. "What!" Voltaire cried. "I have than eighteen livres." "The price is one louis," the mer- chant insisted. Thereupon Voltaire began to cal- culate the value of every part of the cutlass, He turned to the merchant and declared that his face bore the stamp "of honesty, With the truth thus emblazoned on his forehead, surely, Voltaire declared, the mer- chant must confess that eighteen livres was a very good price for the cutlass. The merchant expressed his ap- preciation of Voltaire's compliment, but he said that as an honest man he could only keep to his first word, that he had asked the exact value of the cutlass, and that to sell it for less | FANOUS "WHS" OF By MARK STUYVESANT. made up my mind not to give more |. ~-y STORY 3 injustice to hig child- "You have children, then?" Vol- taire exclzimed, "Yes, sir," the merchant replied. "I have five--three sons and two daughters, the youngest of whom is twelve years old." *Fine!™ Voltaire cried. "We shall contrive fo get places for your sons and positions for your daughters. I have friends in the finances, I have interests in the public offices--but let Us put an end to this little business. Here are your eighteen lHvres--Ilet no more be said on the subject." The merchant made. due ackhow- ledgement for the patronage with which Voltaire was pleased to honor him, but he kept to his first price. For fifteen .minutes Voltaire tried every form of persuasion without success, battling not to save six livres ~--which he would willingly have given to a beggar--but-to obtain his will by the power of persuasion, At _last Voltaire was obliged sto yield. - With an angry and mortified air he thréw upon the table the full price the merchant asked. The mer- chant, as soon as he had pocketed his money, thanked Voltaire and left. "Well," Marmontel sald to Vol- taire when the merchant had gone, "What are you glad of?" Voltaire angrily inquired, ; "That the family of this poor man is no longer to be pitied. His sons, it seems, are all to get places and his daughters marriage portions, while he, himself, had in the meantime sold his cutlass at his own price, which you have paid in spite of all your eloquence "And this is what you are glad of, you obstinate person?" Voltaire frothed "Oh, yes, I am quite delighted | Had he yielded I could willingly have beaten him." "Well," Voltaire langhed.
