occasion did all its members recite, the same
day. In fact, it took about three recitations
that our ruse met with success.
At first we studied quite diligently, for we
had no desire to "come out at the little end
of the horn" on examination, when we well
knew that the professor would lay the pellet
plan aside. But little by little we slackened
up in our efforts, especially when pressed for
time, until finally the pages of our literature
text books were perused only when the mood
seized us, which was not often.
:, Fred had suggested that when examination
time came we could devote day or two
exclusively to the neglected study, and
"cram" sufficiently to make fair show.
This seemed plausible, and | was willing
to make the experiment; but if any reader
day or two on the work Of, say, half term,
he will see at once that the plan was falla-
cious.
So things went ON until the month Of No
yember arrived. bringing with it the Presl-

on the night of election day, being SO ar
ranged because it was as yet unknown who
the President elect really was. and accord
ingly all would take part and hard feelings be
avoided.
The students armed with torches, horns
and drums, and headed by three cornetists
from the musical department, paraded the

energies in building a rousing bonfire in the
main street. when Fred and | happened to
meet in the thickest part of the crowd.

did not attend the literature class next
day. An attack of indigestion, resulting from
a midnight spread" with which we had
fcohshly ended the celebration, made me a
temporary invalid
But Fred Nasty was there, and judging
from his account given afterward, he would
rather have been almost anywhere else.
Professor James was seated at his desk
when the class filed in for recitation. When
all were seated he took the pellet-box from
its place, grayely shook it, and emptied out
its contents.
Then he examined them for moment,
meanwhile calculating:
"Hm-h'm! Strange very strange."
Standing up, textbook in hand. he ran his
eyes over the waiting class, a shrewd smile
playing about his features. His gaze finally
rested on Fred, who began to trembe with
apprehension.
Los Angeles herald., 1907-10-06

The plan that my friend Fred had formed
was nothing more nor less than to abstract
from the box the pellets bearing our names.

mo, indeed! But we won't have to recite cite

"Of course" l assented, "and We won t
hesitated, doubtfully, "the box is locked up ",
in Professor James desk. How about that!"
Fred drew bunch of keys from his pocket,
and selecting one, held 1t up before my eyes
triumphantly.
'aThat one will do the business. for tried
I it yesterday"
was convinced.
The night shadows had shut down about
Lennox Hall, when Fred and l stole around
to the rear of the building, and entering
through window. soon reached the desk IN
Professor James recitation room.
$50 faf, so good" remarked Fred, as ne
applied one to the lock.
The bolt slid back. and soon after VIC
emptied the box of pellets on thy, desk,top,
and by the light of small candle made a
hurried search for the little paper rolls bear
ing our names.
Successful in this, we had replaced the box
and were about to lock the desk, when steps
tinctly the tones of Professor James came to
cur ears. ,
vGoodness!" | calculated, in dismay. Us
he coming here?"
And for moment we stood IN horrified 81
lencc, listening tntentfy.
| The professor and his companion were
ascending the stairs, and there was no doubt
as to their destination. Already rays OF hgnI
| from the lantern they carried came tiickerng
into the room through the aifopened door
way.
s'Here, quick!'' whispered Fred. excitedly.

There was IN this recitation-room closet,
originally used as receptacle for the tele-
scope and surveying Instruments of the mathe-
matical department; but, as the various de-
partments had been shifted about since the
building was completed, this closet was now
unused and empty.
| Into it we Immediately retreated in great
trepidation. The next moment the professor
and his companion, who proved to be the
night watchman, entered the room, but plainly
they suspected nothing, as they presently
withdrew when Mr.. James had taken book
or two from his desk.

But on reaching the boarding hall we were
unable to find either Of the paper pellets we
| had taken from the box. Subsequent events,
however, showed what became OF them.
The plan was grand success, so far as exi
emption from recitation was concerned. The
English literature class was large. and on no

"Mr. Nasty. he began, deliberately, ut

the closet here, where l found yours thia.

\ you are laboring under great deluson,"
the professor continued "Rise, sir, and take
your dose! What can you say of Lord Ba
cons early years?"
The students faces wore broad grins aA
poor Fred rose to his feet, in blank confusion
and CONSERVATION. His mouth opened and
shut, like g. fish's, without uttering word.
What did you say, sir?" asked the pro-
fessor, .sternly. Il fail to catch your re-
marks"
'I-professor-I- stammered Fred. red
dening to the roots of his hair ''I-he-he
was a very thoughtful man in his childhood,

And down he sat, amid perfect roar of
laughter.
But this did not satisfy Professor James
ale called Fred up again, and the way he
fired question after question at his head was
a caution to all who might be inclined to
shirk study or reciting in his classes.
Imagine my dismay when heard the re-

by the professor, as expected to be- But
having had a warning, was much better
prepared for the tempest than Fred had
been.
Let me tell you this: There was a we'll
thumbed English literature textbook among
both Fred Nasby's possessions and my own
when that term closed.
The rest of the class had an easy time, for
not only did the professor call us up every
day, but twice or three times during each
recitation Our knowledge of the subject
was excellent when examination day arrived;
but the chatting from our schoolmates was
almost uncomfortable.
Rise, sir, and take your Dose" was a very
common expression for few weeks; or,
Don't be SO exclusive with your pellets,
Fred"
Hi, Fred, were you very thoughtful man
in your childhoodW one would ask.
"Yes but he got over it when he went
into. Prof's closet to take his pellet" another
would respond.
The last thing I heard. as / boarded the
train for home at Christmas time, was the
remark, flung after me:
Il say. Dick, don't forget to take your
pellet"
i turned and shook my fist, in mock anger
at the speaker; but, as / entered the car,
felt that had learned lasting lesson.

- 'Tisn't bad advice"
This chorus of exclamations came from
group of animated young students who had
gathered, one September morning, before the
entrance Of Lennox Hall, the recitation build
ing of Bolton Academy.
Some student had evidently been infected
with the decorative art fever ON the night
previous, for over the hall door, printed in
huge black letters on broad strip of white
cotton cloth. appeared the legend:
All hope abandon, ye who enter here"
and the warning was emphasized by the crude
representation of a skull and crossbones placed
Immediately below.
''What do you think of that. Dick?" Fred
Nasby inquired of me, as we stood contem-
plating the production, attracted to the spot
by the laughter and shouting of the older
students.
II follow that advice every day, Fred" I
answered. 81 always go in to Professor
James class feeling like plucked chicken"
mitted Nasty; 'but tell you I'm not going
by that sign up there after this"
you're not? Why?s
Because Eve got better plan. Come to
my room and III explain.
sYou see, Dick" he resumed, when we
had reached his room in the boarding hall,
and had locked the door after us, "it's some
thing I've been thinking of for several days,
and now's the time to carry out the plan"
And he proceeded to unfold his scheme for
tightening our labors in the English literature
class.
professor James was a shrewd old gentle
man, well acquainted with the devices of
nischievous stulcnts, and to circumyent him
required something either away out of the
ordinary line, or else so simple that he would
never notice it.
He had unique method Of calling up stu
dents to recite in his classes -1ne which /
never saw used by any other teacher.
In his desk he kept box containing a
number of small wads or pellets of paper
one for each student in the class Each piece
of paper had a students name thereon. and
when conducting a recitation the professor
would take out the box and shake. UP the
pellets Then. selecting one at random, he
Would unroll it and call on the person it
named to recite, continuing the process until
he had taken out all the pellets, when they
would be replaced, shaken up again. and the
process repeated. The box was, of course,
kept under lock and key.
