BY HIRAM RICE

The professor of ethnology in a GER
tain institution of learning, who was
contemplating a trip to darkest Africa
in search of curious specimens of hui
manity. abandoned his design when
he spotted among the students cou-
nle named Thomas and Heiney. There
was no need, he told his wife, of muss-
ing around in the tangled swamps of
Central Africa, fighting mosquitoes
and other wild beasts, and running
the risk of having to marry the dusky
queen of some savage tribe in order
to preserve his head in its accustom-
ed place, while searching for people
with whom nature had been having
fun, when two such choice specimens
were, so to speak, left on his door.
step.
Thomas was one of those individuals
who preferred to stuff his head instead
of his stomach, and as result was
about the Notwithstanding mortal that
ever tried to make a scientific theory
take the place of large helping of
cOrned beef and cabbage. He had
head as big as a pumpkin, and there
was so much learning inside it that 1t
bulged out in ridges until it resem-
bled one of the aforementioned in
gradients of a pie. Porting over books
and holding up that enormous head
had bowed out his back and bent in
his wishbone until he looked like an
exaggerated Interrogation point. Ma
ture had been kind enough to Thomas
IN the beginning, so the neighbors
said, inasmuch as she had endowed
him with sufficient good looks to put
him in the beauty class had he cared
to follow that line; but the Ambition
Bug had bitten him when he was a
small boy, and now about all he cared
for was to wear enough clothes TO
keep the police from bothering him,
and store up facts in his think closet.
Heiney was a big, husky chunk Of
bone and muscle, with face that
would brighten a she-bear, and head
about the shape of a green onion lie
wore fancy vests and loud socks, could
roll cigarettes with one hand, and was
about as intellectual as crawfsh; but
having gumption enough to go indoors
when it rained he was satisfied with
his mental attainments and paid more
attention TO the dinner horn than the
class bell.
Thomas and Heiney came from the
same town. and in way were close

rivals. Thomas father was the village
plutocrat having gotten rich shaving
notes and forclosing mortgages. When
he discovered that his son yearned to
DC one Of the intellectual lights Of the
country he told him to go as far as
he liked along that line, for he realized
that soaking up learning was less eX-
pensive than soaking up highballs.
Heiney's father was a shoe cobbler
by trade and an enemy of the rich by
profession; when he heard that
Thomas was to have his brain stuffed
with all the facts and theories it would
hold he declared that learning was
one thing the rich couldn't completely
corner, and determined that Heiney
should have all that he could cram
into his queer shaped head. no matter
how many half soles it took to accom-.
plish It.
Thomas took to books like a girl
to pickles and ice cream. but Heiney's
brain was as tough and unyielding az
some Of his fathers sole leather. The
only reason he went TO school was be
cause no one would play hockey with
him. and his father had a habit Of
bending him across a barrel and beat.

In the last generation Tyler Cobb
Esq, was a well known citizen OF
North Bridgewater, now Brockton
Mass. He was famous throughout
Plymouth county for his witty retorts
and dry humor.
Never having taken a sea trip. Mr..
Cobb one day conceived the idea OF
making a voyage to New York. Ac-
cordfngly he sailed from Boston in a
small schooner. The first day out n
storm was encountered and Mr.. Cobb
became violently sick. but after sew
eral hours he mustered up courage and
strength to look out upon the troubled
waters.
As he looked from the side of the
little ship up the trough of the sea II
seemed very smooth to him. The can

steering continued the unhappy pas.

American, growing more and more az.

the impression that he was forgetting
English. The impression got 30 strong
that he refused to talk anything but

that he was forgetting that, closed up
like an oyster and was led away to a
sanltarium. where he spent his days
In complete silence.
A course OF treatment was prescribed
for him in which baths played an Inn
