HIS SECURITY.
Once, In the Grand Rapids, Mich., the local manager called on Max O'Rell to nsk him what he required on the platform In the way of arrangements, etc. Before leaving, lie said, "While I am here I may as well give you your fee; I have got the money with me."
"Just as you please," said Max. "A fee paid in advance clears the voice—but don't you cull that risky?"
"What do you mean? It would not pay you to run away with the money without giving the lecture; your name is too we 11 known."
"Thanks for the compliment," retorted the lecturer, "but suppose I should die before the evening?"
"Oh, that's all right," said the entrepreneur, "I'll exhibit your corpse. I guess there will be just as much money in it."
