Took IL Literally.

From the Providence Journal.
A young teacher in an intermediate
school wished to communicate with a
teacher at one Of the grammar schools
about a mile away the other day. For this
purpose she chose one of her bright schol-
airs and dispatched him with a note di-
rected TO the young lady. When the mes
senger arrived at his destination the
teacher CHANGED TO be illustrating some
lesson TO her pupil at the blackboard. She
therefore sent word TO the boy to take a
chair. When at leisure she summoned
the boy, who was supposed to he seated
in the corridor, hut he had disappeared.
The young lady was non-plussed, but the
mystery was solved when some time
later the boy returned, bearing with
him the chair which had been given
him To sit upon. He had accepted the in
vitation "to tax "A chair" and had carted
il upon his shoulders back to the school
he came from. The teacher, after she
had recovered from the shock of seeing
him drag the strange chair up to her and
deposit IL by her side with IA conscious
air of duty well performed, had sent him
back with il. He wa pretty well tired
out When he returned, and his only ex-
PLANTATION was "A sob and '.you told me to
