ONE ON THE PROFESSOR.
Prank of College Students That Really
Was Funny.
In a college town two students were
passing by a "painless" dentist's office
shortly after nightfall, when one of
them, as if he had thought of some
thing remarkably funny, suddenly ran
and took down the sign about a yard
long that was hanging from two nails.
The next morning, when the Latin
class was assembling, every student as
he took his seat and looked toward the
teacher's platform seemed to be un
able to keep back a burst of laughter.
The professor of Latin belonged to a
type of which a specimen can be found
In many a college faculty. He had no
idea how to keep order in his class,
and would fly into a rage at the small
est interruption and launch forth Into
a tirade of abuse, forgetting all about
the lesson. In this way he had won
for himself the nickname of "Gasbag
Tommy." This morning the laughter
of so many of the class seemed to in
furiate him, and he began to apply all
kinds of epithets to the offenders, with
out diminishing the merriment, how
ever. At last he noticed that every
body was looking over his head turn
ing around, he discovered, with con
tinually increasing rage, the cause of
the mirth. It was a dentist's sign, and
the words on it were:
"Gas Administered."
WAS NOT A GREAT KING.
Few Things to Praise in Life of Wil
liam IV.
A biography of King William IV.
of Great Britain, uncle of Queen Vic
toria, was published recently. He
spent most of his life at sea, being in
his sixty-fifth year when he became
king in 1830. Rolbert Burns, years
before, had dubbed him "Prince Tar
ry Breeks." His biographer thus
describes him: "Small in stature,
burly, with florid, sanguine counte
nance and head shaped like a pine
apple, his majesty was rough, garrul
ous and diffuse in speech, bustling in
his movements, undetermined in
character, without much intelligence,
but with great good nature and well
disposed toward all men." He want
ed to call himself King Henry IX.,
but finally it was decided that he
should be known as William IV., this
resolutin being mainly due to the
superstition of the English bishops,
who remembered an old prophecy to
the effect that as "Henry VIII. had
pulled down monks and cells, so
Henry IX. would pull down bishops
and bells."
One Rooster Per Passenger.
It takes Havana railroad compan
ies for fine discrimination and regard
for the comfort of passengers. Some
of the rules and regulations govern
ing these roads are tnus laid down,
for the benefit of the ignorant, in the
.•sjuide to Havana—a little, red-covered
toook, printed in Spanish and the
quaintest possible English.
"If trains are delayed and the pas
senger desists from going, the ticket
Is
redimed but if otherwise, the
train is on time and he desists, only
half fare is returned. If the passen
ger loses the train on his own fault
no return whatever is tnade.
"The company prohibits the carry
ing of more than one rooster in a
first-class car, if carried in a basket,
and in the other cars dogs with
mussgle and doz. chickens, but no
ice is allowed in the cars nor fish or
any other article injurious to the
comfort of Passengers."—Brooklyn

Arithmetical Puzzle.

And vowed that I'd forget her,
And once again as happy be,
As if I'd never met her,
Though years and years have

My earliest ideal love
To me still seems but twenty.
And strange to say. when yesterday
I met this maid and told her
My foolish fancy, she but frowned
And claimed to be no older.
