THE DULL BOY.
CONCLUDED IN NEXT ISSUE }

The magician, Bancroft, in q press
banquet address, according to the
Washington Post, told a pretty story:
"Boys," said the teacher, addressing
the entire school, 81 want to see how
far your general powers of observation
IN trivial subjects go. For instance,
you have all seen thousands of aiee.
Now, I want each one of you to tell
ne his impressions Of a fly" Beyond
the fact that a fly was a fly and had
two wings, not one of the school could
say anything further. At the first
mention of the subject the dull boy
was all agIow. He held up his hand
and snapped his fingers. He realized
his superiority. It was his day. He
told Of the fly from Q general and ana
lyticRl standpoint, its interior and ex-
terror construction, its habits, its food,
it's generation, and its propensities.
The rest of the school sat astonished.
The boy went on and launched into q
general description of bugs and in
sects he had caught in the woods.
From that day the teacher encouraged
his peculiar aptitude, and troubled
him no more with the rules OF gram
mar and arithmetic. She went into
the woods with him and helped in his
studies of nature. She brought the at
tention OF the school trustees to his
case, and, to make a long story short,
he was sent to Europe for study. In
Leipsic he was made moderator Of the
Natural Conservatory of Science. He
held for q time an important positson
in the Smithsonian Institute, at Wash
ington, D. O., and he lie now in Paris,
one Of the leading entcmologists of the
world"

her every feature, the maiden turned

agility Of the mountain cat, the mad

placed himself directly in her path.
In a moment his passionate love seemed
