Some men seem to have new stories to tell every day, yet I have not met a man wno claimed to have invented one. I am a member of the Stock Exchange which is proverbially the fount of 'new ones,’ but not one of the scores of my tellow members that I know personally has ever invented a story or even though of doing so. Will some one throw a light on this really profound mystery ? ”
