Many stories are told OF the absent
rnindcdcncss OF the late John Buriou-
Sanderson. formerly regius professor OF
medicine at oxford. who was Familiarity
known as The Burden"
lie used 10 delight his classes by
stuffing one challSy buster after an
other into his pockets ana finally using
his pocket handkerchief To clean the
blackboard. At his own dinner table
he would carefully carve the Joint and
H"rv" his guests, and then fall Ia on
his own plate. utterly obliVisus To the
fact that he had forgotten Ia help him
SELF.
The late SIR Henry Acland had n
story he always enjoyed OF the pro-
fCssor's absent mindcdncss. While a
guest ~ his house Snndcrson one day
asked Miss Ashland " he might have
his luncheon earlier than usual, as he
wished tn have "a walk before return
Ing 90 the schools. AZ the appointed
hour lunch was duly served and the
professor left the house. Ten minutes
later. AT his usual luncheon hour. he
returned, rang the bell and asked the
ustunishci servant 60 bring up lunch.
II was duly served and h made n
second hearty rcpIst. utterly ignorant
that u was an encore.
Lady SandCTaon left him ono evening
To conduct his guests into the dining
room When she came down the hall
she found him helping them Into their
oyercoats. shaking hands and saying
good night.
