FAMOUS ANECDOTES
OF FAMOUS PEOPLE
MACAULAY.


Many stories are told of Ma
caulay's childhood that show
what a very precocious child he
was. 1t is said that from the
time that hs was 3 years old
he read necessarily. His memory
retained without effort the most
difficult phraseology which he
would reproduce in his speech.
The effect was very droll, COM
ing from such a small child as
he was.
When he was just years
old, he had a small plot of land
in the backyard. which he had
marked out with a row of oyster
shells. One day the maid threw
the shells away as rubbish. When
the little fellow discovered his
loss he rushed straight into the
drawing-room. where his mother
was entertaining some callers,
marched into the circle and said
very sohemnly. Cursed by Sally:
for it is written cursed be he
that removeth his neighbor's
landmark"

You can see oyster hunters in any
first-class hotel. They're usually in
large parties and are dressed in
evening clothes.
The hotels employ them to min

open for a pearl which the cook
might have missed.
Like . dog fancier or q horseman
these oyster hunters are well train
ed and they get to know all the
habits Of the oysters.
They can tell from the expression
OF an oysters face whether it is hid
ing a pearl from them or not.
An oyster will tire himself out
trying to keep his pearl from getting
into the hands of a human being.
These men know this and when they
see the oyster yawn they know there
is something doing.
So when you're eating an oyster
