One of the most popular Of the Young
professors in the male high school tells
an amusing little story on a small, up-
to-date school girl, says the Louisville
Times. She went to one of these dis
trict schools over which a cousin of the
professor presides. 1t is usual to have
visitors at the building now and then,
who ask the scholars questions and see
that everything is in good shape One
day not so long since a party of callers
came in and requested the pupils to
write the answers to several questions
propOunded them. One Of these oues-
lions was: Tell what you know about
Admiral Dewey's great fight"
The children set to work figuring on
their answers, but the teacher noticed
one Of the girls cid not make a move to
do so.
WHY don't you write your answer to
the question: she demanded of the idle
'Tain't no use,' was the slow re-
Spouse. L don't know nothing about it -
But, demonstrated the teacher, you
must try anyhow; you must not sit there
idle while the others are doing the best
they can. See if you cannot think of
something, my dear
No use" protested the pupil. Cali I
know is that Dewey and Corbett fought
and [ don't know which whipped, and /
don't care either"

The danger Of discussing persons when
in company with strangers is amusingly
illustrated by the following:
Several ladies and gentlemen We're
travelling together in u railway carriage
from Dresden to Leipsic. They were
mostly strangers to one another, but the
conversation became general.
One of the ladies had been at the Court
theater the night before, where the opera
of "Euryanthe" had been sung, and was
loud in her expressions of disapproval.
Worse than ALL she went on, that
Nine Schroeder is much too old for her
part. Her singing is becoming unbear-
able. Don't you think so, too?' she
asked, turning to the gentleman next to
her.
Wouldn't you rather tell this to Nine
Schroeder herself? She is sitting oppo-
site to you," he replied, cOldly.
After the general silence which fol-
lowed the remark, the critical lady
turned to the singer with many con-
fused apologies.
1T is that horrid critic, Schneider,
who has influenced my judgment con-
corning your singing. [ believe it is he
who is always writing against you He
must be a most disagreea BILE and pedan-
tic person"
Had you not better tell all this to
Mr.. Schneider himself?" calmly inquired
Nine. Schroeder. He is sitting next
you"
