exceedingly close so tho edge Of the

Mr. Reed. as sis speech progressed,
became excited. He forgot his sur
roundings; ne forgot how near he was
10 the platforms edge. and inadverl-
emily he leaned upon his Iectern too
heavily, with the result that it. and ne
fell to the floor together
The desk alghted first with a thn-
derous noise. and the speaker followed

mediately rose 10 his feet again. but the
laughter OF the townspeople would not
allow him to proceed. He stood for
some moments Then he held mp his
