How iHeaDid It,

Early in the morning session, when
the pupils were feeling bright and
happy, the teacher hought it a good
plan to give them sentences to cor
rect, both as to grammar and sense.
She accordingly wrote on the black
board:
The hen has four legs. He
done it,"
Thoughtful little 1gnatius, at the
foot of the class, pondered deeply, and
at the end of Is minutes time, allowed
for correction, he wrote:
He didn't done it; God done it."
HAD NO DOUBT OF HIS FATE.
