The Natives Heard Him Recite and

Thought Him q Lunatic.
An itinerant college professor, as
lie styled himself. was stranded in q
little backwoods settlement, and in or
der to raise cash enough to help him
farther on the road he proposed a
Shakespeare club for the literary diver
sion of the citizens.
Its like those they have in the
Cities, he explained. "and if you folks
want to keep up with the procession
you mast have one too"
About a dozen applied for member
ship and were in the hall early, wait
ing for the professor, who was late in
getting there.
When he did arrive, after stating the
object of the meeting, he proposed to
give them samples OF Shakespearean act
ing. He began with Hamlet, then tao
killed. Macbeth and Richard III.
There was no applause from his audi
ence while he was ~perspiring through
the various acts. In fact, the audience
was serious-very serious-and he no.
ticed little groups forming here and
there and engaging in whispered con-
versations.
Finally a man went forward, took the
professor by the arm and said:
You'd better come with me, pard-
ner. Don't be afeared; we amt gwine
ter hurt you. It'sall fer your own good,
so come erlong now"
what do you mean?'' asked the
frightened professor.
That's all right, pardne-. jest come
on quiet. an you'll fin out what we're
after. We amt gwine ter tie you onless
we has ter.
By this time several had hold of him,
n he was hustled ont of the building
TO a room in the rear of a grocery store,
where he was guarded by several citizens
until morning. Then he was taken be-
fore the ordinary of the county under
full guard.
Hes n err them thar ~lunatics what
jumped the asylum lately" explained
the spokesman of the crowd. 1.-THE way
he went on in the meetin las night wuz
-orful-pitchin an rearin an hollerin an
pullin at his hair like he wanted ter git
his head off. We had ter keep him un-
der close guard all night fer fear he'd
hurt hisself.n
II know all erbout it," said the
ordinary. 81 WIZ in the meetin myself,
but escaped early. What have you got
ter say fer yerself, sirf"

peare club, when
FITS my opinion" interrupted the
ordinary, THAT what you needs most is
q hickory club. I'm goin ter instruct
this here jury ter fin you guilty Of
lunacy in tho fust degree, an may the
Lord have mercy on your soul. You'll
kill somebody eff you ain'ttaken keer on,
an now that we've got you we're gwine
ter keep YOU"
1t was in vain the prisoner protested.
He was "a gone case" and If the high
judge Of the county court hadn't arrived
just in the nick of time and given him
ten minutes to leave town he would
have boarded the next train for the
lulatic asylum.-Atlanta Constitution.
