The occasions on which Professor
PARKWAY was invited to speak in public
were times Of great anxiety to his wife.
If she succeeded in starting him for
the platform properly clothed, and with
his notes in his hand, part Of ner cares
vanished, but not all Of them.
One evening her husband was one Of
seven distinguished professional men
who were TO speak before a scientific
society consisting Of men from all parts
Of the country.
His speech was clear that night, free
from the absent.minded murmurs
which sometimes interspersed his dis.
course, and as he seated himself Mrs.
PARKWAY felt that he had fully earned
the burst Of applause-and then her
cheeks crimsoned.
"Did you see anything amusing about
the close Of my address, my dear"
asked the professor, as they started for
home. 1T seemed as If heard sounds
suggestive of merriment about me-"
IL don't wonder" said Mrs. PARKWAY,
who up to that time had maintained
the silence of despair, "for of all the
people who applauded your address
you, with your head in the air and
your chair tilted sidCwise, clapped the
loudest and longest"

timber in Lincoln county. II this es-
