PAYMENT IN KIND.
A popular and talented pen-and-ink artist not long ago received from a firm of motor-car dealers a printed circular that caused him no little surprise and amusement. "You are cordially invited to participate in our twenty-pound prize-draw-ing contest. Each participant may submit one or more drawings advertising our motor-cars, and the winner will re ceivo a grand prize of £2O. Drawings must be sent prepaid, they must be original, and all unsuccessful drawings will remain the property of the undersigned." Now the artist, who can scarcely be persuaded to make drawings at two hundred pounds a-pieee, smiled over this printed circular. Then he took a sheet of note-paper and wrote to the motor-car firm: "You are cordially invited to participate in my grand two-pound prize motor-car contest. Each participant may submit one or moro motor-cars fully equipped, of his own manufacture, and the winner will receive a grand cash prize of two pounds in gold. The motor-cars submitted should be brandnew, and must be shipped freight prepaid. Tho unsuccessful motor-cars will remain the property of the under. Bigned."
