we were discussing these general lines
Of action; "only. Of course, in self-de-

words.

went OF, sad, but moved by Hoppy's
unwonted kindness.
Why were you SO mild?' ! asked
when he'd gone.
Because, without any trouble of
ours, he's doing all. say, you chaps"
he said to the class in loud voice,
you needn't do that 'impot,' you
know" :.
Why not?" they all cried.
| "Oh! I've got you off,"
Some OF them doubted; but they
knew Hoppy quite well enough to be
sure that, even though he might be
fooling them now. he would stand by
them in the morning; and so they re
solved TO take things easily and see
what turned up.
Next mornelg, therefore, out OF the
expected 500 lines only SO appeared,
and those from the usually backward
Jones. Old Taylor was a little huffy
about 1t.
Where are the rest?" he cried, an
grily.
No answer.
Fortunately Hoppy came to the
rescue.
You see, SIR" he said, boldly, you
told all of us to do so lines. Now, we
thought you meant that the whole
class put together was to do them.
not each OF US, sir. So between us we
did them"
You should have seen old Taylors
face while Hoppy was speaking. He
stopped dead still for good minute
and a half. Then he spoke; and 1t
was a queer thing he said; and very
calm and quiet 1t sounded, too.
Well. Hopkins, you ought to know
by this time that between implies two
persons. You say you did this i'm
position between you. Jones Is one;
you must mean you are the other. Is
this true?"
Now, here Taylor had hit on one OF
those direct questions which Hoppy
had said he always answered on the
straight; SO you see he was caught
out. He wasn't one of those chaps
who wriggle--he was an honest fellow,
WAS Hoppy-so he answered right
out: mo, sir. didn't do, q line OF II"
Then Taylor went on with the les
son. 1t was Latin; and, instead of be-
ginning at the top Of the class, as us-
nal, he began with Jones, who didn't
know much about II, you bet He
never did know anything about his
lessons. When he stuck, Taylor made
another chap answer, and then went
back to Jones again. and so on
through the whole lesson. You never
heard such mess a. the little wretch
made Of It all. N,tf
Five minutes before the bell, Taylor
stopped and said: .''Well, between
you you've done pretty badly" He
stopped q moment for his words to
sink In and then went on: Il know
you'll say that Jones 10 the one who
failed. and that didn't put on the
rest; but, you see, Jones IL the class.
II Jones 10 all of-you, then when Jones
fails, all of you fail. So. before six
O'Clock, every one of you will write
out the lesson ten times. Mind, Hop.
kins, l say every one Of you; but all
Of you will come to this classroom to

scored; and some OF US we're very

The Tyler ancestral Home.

kilograms sent out from Wash
ington anent the death and burial of
Mrs. Lctitia Tyler Semple displayed
dense ignorance as to the ancestral
home of the Tylers. In part the re-
port says:
The body was taken 10 Rich
mond. Va. and thence to Williams
burg. Va. where the interment will
be made tomorrow at Cedar Grove,
the ancestral home of the Tylers.
Mrs. Semple had expressed a
wish that she be laid to rest in the
old cemetery at Williamsburg. be-
side the remains of her father.
where she some years ago erected a
handsome monument. but this could
not be done. for the reason that the
cemetery gates have been closed and
no more burials will be permitted
there"
Sherwood Forest" now owned
by Judge d. 9. Tyler. a son Of the
late president. is the ancestral home
of the family.
President Tyler lived here wher
he became president-in the beauti-
tul home occupied by Mrs. Rebeccs
Smith. and known as Bassett Hall
We can only account for this
error from the fact that the buryine
ground Of the Tylers is at Sherwood
Forest" where the first Mrs. Tyler
mother of Mrs. Semple. lies buried
: The second paragraph quoted in
dicates that Pres. John Tyler wa.
buried in Bruton Parish churchyard
whereas his tomb is in Hollywood
Richmond. a fact every school boy
ought to know.
The monument Mrs. Semols
erected stands in the ward OF n,
Matty Whaley School. far from
Bruton churchvard. When Mrs
Semple was here at the unveilins
she was the city's guest and we be,
lieve the monument was presented
TO the city.
