A teacher In a suburban school, not
long ago, gave her pupils 10 minutes In
which to write an abstract. A shoe
was the subject selected by her, and the
boys were to write In the first person
No limit as to the number Of lines or
words was given them.
Most of the boys wrote--and erased,
during the whole time allotted, but the
teacher noticed one fellow who sat idle
until the time was within two minutes
of expiring. As the scholars filed out,
she said to him, Brown, did you finish
your abstract2"
Yes, ma'am, he answered.
Curious to see what he could have
written in 30 short time, she looked
over the papers, and found this:
Il am worn out shoe; my coffin Is
the ash barrel; my grave, the dump"

pressed on her memory as this renlarka-

amazement on the boys face the next
morning when he saw the 100" mark
