Saved the Children,

Our class was held on the third floor
of an old wooden school building. One
afternoon another boy and myself
scattered some snuff in the air before
the afternoon session began. When
the professor began talking to his as
sistant they were seized with a fit of
sneezing, bobbing their heads toward
each other in o most ludicrous fash
ion. The students howled with laugh.
ter when they were not sneezing.
Finally the professor managed to
get his breath long enough to ques-
tion the class and all but we two
guilty boys were dismissed.
He took us to his office and while
we were there-about twenty minutes
later-fire was discovered in the build
ing. We got out with difficulty and
the school was burned to the ground.
From an angry man the professor
became deeply thankful and he has
since maintained that we boys were
the instruments of fate. for the build.
ing burned so rapidly that there
would have been great danger if all
of the children had been in class when
the fire started.-EXchange
