HIS MASTERS CRIB.
Some time ago one of the masters at
a certain grammar school caused a
sensation by publishing book which
bore striking resemblance to one
published previously by a well known
minor poet. Comments upon the mat
ter became of an accusatory nature, and
eliminated in one of the pupils openly
accusing the author one day in the
common room Of plagiarism.
"Sir,' replied the indignant author,
"your opinion is neither sought nor
valued-you're an ass"
81 may be-" calmly retorted the
scholar, "but-the ass knoweth his
masters crib!"-Exchange.

S. O. S.-Question: What is the
precise meaning of "S. O. S." the
wireless signal sent out by ships in
distress? Do these letters stand for
save our ship" or what? Answer:
IS. O. S. is merely an arbitrary signal
chosen because it can be sent readily
and because it is a combination that
can be used with comparatively little
Danger of its being confused with other
signals. Some persons have imagined
