Hsadmasters' Replies.

Head Master Peabody Of Groton was
noted for his wit. An illiterate mother
with pronounced social aspirations
once wrote him saying that she would
like TO Inter" her son as a scholar at
Groton. What she particularly insist.
ed upon knowing. however, before she
inferred" darling Harold. was the
exact social standing Of the parents
Of the boys with whom Harold would
be thrown In contact. Headmaster
Peabody thus replied:
Dear Madam; With reference to
interring your son at Groton l wish to
say that ! should be glad to under.
take the task. II your son behaves
himself well no questions will be
asked about his parentage."
When the same mother received
Harold's quarterly department report
she sent It back. demanding to know
what generally good" meant. Mr..

The girl rushed out and returned In

"Can You raise your right arm?" he
querled, bending over me.

"You see she understands what Ia

Herslet. The two physicians left the
room, but soon Dr. Herslet returned
and sent the nurse away

you had found out, l made up my
mind to act. l waited until you had
dropped asleep. then l administered an
anaesthetic. The rest was easy. With

opening through the bone at the TOP
Of your temple. Just over the center
which controls the power Of speech.
Having made the entrance intro

ton Of the brain tissue. The external
opening is scarcely visible. You are
supposed to be suffering from cere-
bral hemorrhage. You may later o.
rise from your bed. but you cannot
speak, nor can you control your brain
sufficiently to write anything. even
with your left hand. Thus you are as
powerless to convey the information
you know to Leonora Trefusis as II
you were dead. Having performed
the operation. placed you with your
head beside the sharp corner Of the
bed, and upon 1t smeared little
blood. You may call attention to the
small wound on your head by making
signs to the nurse. but she has been

her utter an exclamation; she then
