Could Have Been Rich.

Boran Rothschild one .day entered hn old curiosity shop to buy some paintings. The dealer brought out his rare old pictures, dusted them, and set them in the best light. "Look at this Rembfhndf; quite autheiftie, M. le Baron.” “Authentic, you srfj? You have got there a Raphael of the first style, which is a good deal more authentic.” “Oh! oh!” said thd dealer; “why, you are a connoisseur, M. le Baron.” “I?’*, observed a sigh; “If I had gone into the old curiosity business, I should have a fortune.”
