Beverley lay on the ground face up

The Teacher Was POPULAR.

Russell was usually Il good boy in
school, but on this particular day he
could not study. His mind persisted
in wandering, and his hands in dodg-
ing about to work mischief. He did
not mean to disobey his taIcher, for he
was very fond of her. But after he
had been corrected several times he
heard the stern voice of Miss Black
pronounce his doom:
Russell, come to my desk. Now
stand just So"
Then Miss Black took down the long
ruler. Once, twice. three times fell
the stick Then little cry came, not
from Russell, but from the teacher,
and she grew deadly pale. She had
hurt her wrist. Russell was sent to
his seat, and soon the school was dis
missed for recess.
The ten minutes were up. The girls
were all In their seats, but no boys.
What was keeping the boys so long in
the basement? Presently procession,
headed by the weeping Russell, filed
up the stairs and into the schoolroom.
Russell, are you still crying because
/ punished your the teacher asked, IN
reproachful tones.
Then, to her surprise, the biggest
boy spoke up: Hes crying cause we
thumped him In the basement cause
he hurt you"
The rest of the day Russell was n
model boy. At the close OF school in
the afternoon Miss Black spoke very
kindly to him. and told him she was
pleased that he had ended the day
with such good behavior.
From q dozen Threats In concert
came the explanation: Yes, he had
to be good for you, cause we told him

A Chance Missed.

A well-known doctor and certain
minister are great friends, but they
dearly love joke at each others ex-
pense. The latter once delivered Sc
ries of lectures, and one OF them-on
Palestine was not interesting enough
TO please the audience, which gradu-
ally withdrew before its conclusion.
Not long afterwards the ministers
house was entered by a burglar. He
gave graphic account Of the affair to
his friend, the doctor. and ended by
saying: Il had him fat on his back.
l hold him so that he could not move
an inch"
Good" exclaimed the other; but,
my dear sir, what a splendid oDportu-
nifty that was to have delivered to him
your lecture on Palestine!"
