HE MIXED HIS C0Ns0NANTs


The Oxford Young Man and the Strange
Things rs Said
A oomioaI story is told of q learned
young man at Oxford who had an odd
trick of mixing up his consonants when
he talked He was bright, handsome and
genial and a great favorita among Ia
dies, but he was almost certain when he
was conversing with animation to become
nervous and to use one word in place Of
another.
One afternoon he was attending recep-
ton at a house where he was frequent
visitor and where he was suspected of pay
ing more than ordinary attention to the
charming daughter Of the hostess. The
drawing room was filed with people and
he employed himself in paying compI-
ments to one lady after another and in
serving the guests with tea. The hostess
finally turned TO him and asked him to
step into the adjoining parlor and see II
her daughter would like CUP of tea.
Tho professor, unconscious Of inpend-
ing fate, crossed the room, approached tbs
young lady and smiling pleasantly tried
to say, '.WiI you have teas'

stanmored and finally brought it out in
this form, - WiI you have Ine2''
The lady was taken by surprise, but was
not troubled in the use of consopants. Her
answer was, Yes, p followed by deep
blush, and before the professor could cor
rect his mistake or regain his self posses
sion his partner for life had retreated in
confusion from the room to whisper the
news ia her mothers ear.
Dazed for moment by the suddenness
with which his future had been ordered
for him, the professor easily reconciled
himself to the situation, since he had adj
mired the beautiful and graceful girl for a
long time, but had lacked the courage to
tell hor so.
With a boaming smile on his face he

at him in a mischievous way ana said
archly and with an air of innocence:
''uow bright and happy you are lock

fortune must have befallen you, If may
judge from your smiling face.
The professor S face was indeed lighted
up with d hna glow of enthusiasm He
hesitatsd before replying and his color
deepened as he became aware that there
were several persons standing near who
could not fail to hear what was said.
