laboratory. The professor was examin-

paper.
Say, Petite, would you kindly let me
place little bit Of this on your tongue ?
My taste has become so vtiated by tast-
ing all sorts of things
Certainly" responded the ever-ac-
commodating Petite, thrusting out his
tongue.
The professor took up little of the
substance under analysis and placed it
on Peties tongue. He worked it around
for fully a moment, tasting it much as he
would fine confection.

sor.
