traordinary Performances.
A peculiar trait of humanity is what
Is called absent mindedness, and many
are the amusing stories told Of those
suffering from this species of mental
alteration.
A Cambridge professor, whose fits of
mental alteration were as frequent as
they were amusing. was one day out in
a heavy rain, with his umbrella held
high over his head, when he met Il
friend, who stopped him and eX-
claimed: Dear me. Prof. Nj, why
don't you put up your umbrella? You'll
be drenched."
Put up my umbrella?" said the pro-
fessor 1T is up"
For half an hour, more or less, the
professor had been walking the streets
with u closed umbrella held above his
head.
At another time the same scholar
was riding downtown in an electric
car, and lost himself in a book he was
reading. Suddenly he noticed symp-
COInS OF merlTIueuC among the Otner
passengers. What could they be laugh
ing at?
The mystery was explained when he
discovered that. having been annoyed
by something between the plate of his
artificial teeth and the roof of his
mouth, he had removed the teeth and
was holding them up to view between
the thumb and finger Of his hand!
Still more embarrassing was the case
Of lady who hurried into church one
Sunday morning without her bonnet,
and when reminded Of the omission
by her husband, who had preceded her
by several minutes, rose hastily and
hurried up the broad aisle with large
red parasol raised and held close to
her head!
