How Colonel Wakes Life was Saved.
From, Old westm mister schooldays.


There is a story connected with
DR.. Busby's rule at w estininster
during the times Of trouble that
must always find place in any of
the traditions of the school. All
estninsters are aware that at one
time a curtain hung on "the pam
cake bar" which was drawn to di-
vide the upper from the under
school. This curtain was one day
torn during the school hours by a
boy named John Glynne. The un-
fortunate little fellow was in "a terri
bic fright at the prospect of the
flogging which he knew the Doctor
would give him. Seeing this,
generous and plucky friend named
William Wake offered to take the
blame and the fogging. Glynns
evidently had not pluck enoug Oh to
refuse such an offer, so Wake was
punished for tearing the curtain.
In the year 1864, among the priso-
ners who had been taken at Sails
bury, at the time of Penruddock's
unsuccessful rising, was William
Wake, who had become a Colonel
in the Royalist army. He was
brought before CromwelPs judges
and sentenced to death.
Immediately after the trial one

tor. lie asked as a personal favor
that Colonel Wakes life might be
spared. His petition was granted.
ana the judge had the satisfaction
Of saving the life of man, who,
when a oy. had taken logging
from Dr.. Bnsby in his stead for
the judge was John Glynne. After
the restoration of Charles H., DR..
Busby had the honor of showing
the King over the school. 1t was

Eat Slower.

A respectable, elderly lady pa
tient went to London to consult the
very highest authority about her
dyspepsia and its accompanying
ailments. She waited very patients
ly for her turn, entered the awful
presence, told her pitiful story, put
out her furred and creased tongue.
The doctor listened, and said /:
Cum !! ah.! yes, just so -
Then he looked profoundly, awful
ly wise.
"Now, doctor, what shall [ do
I have tried everything, and moth
ing docs me any good. Can yon
do anything to help me -
"Yos, madam; you must cat
slower"
She waited for her prescription,
but the doctor did not write !; and
was evidently expecting her to 90.
He thought she might be hard OF
hearing, and spoke louder, "Elt

BY an involuntary, but sligh,
movement of his right hand she saw
there was nothing to but pay the
fee. The two guineas dropped
and she sadly left his presence.
