Gordon ~ . hoy Was Up to Many
Kinds Of Mischief.
When Gen. Gordon was a lad at
school he was rs mischievous as most
boys; indeed, more SO. The following
story il told of him by DR.. Bixby, who
was at one time at school with him.
When the boys had done anything
wrong they were shut in large, barely
furnished room and set to write lines
from Latin author.
One of the most frequent visitors to
this room was the late general, and he
used frequently to be annoyed by the
boyswho were free in coming to the door.
and peering at him through the key
hole, telling him what fine afternoon
it was, and inviting him to come out
and click" them.
Though he could not oblige them in
the former, he resolved to do his best
for them in the latter particular. He
borrowed large garden syringe from
the gardener, and. taking it with him
the next time he was sent to write
lines, went round to the various desks
and sucked up the ink into the syringe.
Several other boys were in durance
vile with him, and they eagerly awaited
the approach of their tornlentors.
BY and by they heard stealthy foot
steps coming down the passage. Near
er and nearer they came. and at last
halted outside the door. They're peep
ing through the keyhole," whispered
the future general, and. placing the
syringe at the keyhole. he squirted the
contents through with all the energy
he could muster.
There was a smothered exclamation
of disgust, and then an appalling si-
1ence. Then some one fumbled with
the handle of the door; it opened, and in
stalked the head master, his face black
with wrath, and his once immaculate
shirt front black with ink. - London
