In one of the towns of New England
State, where 1t is the custom of the dis
trict school teacher to aboard round" the
following incident is said to have occur
red:
A year or two ago, an allotment hav-
ing been made in the usual manner, for
the benefit of the school mistress, it hap
pened that the proportion of one man was
just two days and half. The teacher
sat down TO dinner on the third day and
was beginning to eat, when the man Of
the house addressed her as follows: Mad
am, | suppose your boarding time is out
when you have eaten half dinner; but. as
do not want to be mean, you may eat,
if you choose, about as much as usual"
