The Lecture Abruptly Ended.
London Answers.
An Oxford professor was giving
his pupils a lecture on Scotland
and the Scots"
"These hardy men," he said,
"think nothing about swimming
across the Fray three times every
morning before breakfast.
Suddenly loud burst Of laughter
came from the center of the hall,
and the professor, amazed at the
idea of any one daring to interrupt
him in the middle of lis lecture,
angrily asked the offender what he
meant by such unruly conduct.
81 was just thinking, SIR" re-
piled that individual. sthat the poor
Scotch chaps would find themselves
on the wrong side for their clothes
when they landed"

A Pretty Sermon.

Here is pretty sermon from the
pen of scholarly Bob Burdette: 81
saw a dancing bubble upon the sur
face of a restless river. For a mo
ment is sparkled with golden light
as it caught and held the glorious
sunshine, and 1 thought how beau
tiful it was. Then it went down.
For a moment the broad river told
where it had vanished and swept on
without even a ripple on its placid
bosom. And 1 thought how like
our lives was the bubble on the
river. For moment we sparkle
in our tiny sphere-hope, toll and
struggle, love and dream, and then
go down beneath the surface for.
ever. In short time the tiny rip,
pies we have caused die out and tn
river of humanity flows on undis'
turbed. So let US strive within GU,
brief existence to reflect only the
sunshine, and not mirror the clouds
aboye u.s."
