IN A TIGHT PLACE.

when Washington Irving ian author whose
books you will all want to read when you grow
older was little boy only ten years DID, he
took part In school exhibition. 1t was a
great time with the boys, you may be sure,
and they recited parts of the tragedy of Cato
Young Irving was to speak the part Of Juba
But while waiting at the back of the curtain
for his turn, he began eating honey cake.
Just ~ his mouth was filled with the sticky
substance he was called forward.
Poor boy! There he stood in the presence
Of the crowd of spectators unable to speak,
vainly trying to swallow his cake. for the hon
ey in II had glued his jaws together. The au.
Aisncc, seeing what was the matter, began TO
litter. That made young Irving desperate; ;
he put his finger into his mouth and began TO
rake ont the sticky stuff. At this the people
broke into a roar of laughter. and the poor
boy almost broke down in his part. He bun
gled through 1t, however, but there was no
more fun in that exhibition for him.
