One on the Bird Teacher! 
There was once a schoolmaster 
whose name was “Bird.” 
So tempting' a target could not be 
missed and the boys never allowed him 
to forget it. 
Once, on coming into the classroom, 
he found the class gazing with such 
forced gravity either at their desks or 
the ceiling that he looked round for 
symptoms of trouble. Sure enough, on 
the blackboard appeared in chalk a fa- 
miliar quotation : 
"Hail to thee, blithe spirit, 
Bird thou never wert.” 
“Who wrote that?” he rapped out, 
sharply. 
Dead silence reigned for a moment, 
and then a small scholar, after careful 
thought, rose, with hands thrust deep 
into his pockets, and said: “Please, sir, 
I think it was Shelley!” — New York

The Right Kind of Boy. 
A business man advertised for an 
office boy. The next morning there 
were some fifty boys in line. He was 
about to begin examining the appli-

cants when his stenographer handed 
him a card on which was scribbled : 
“Don’t do anything until you see me. 
I’m the last kid in line, but I’m telling 
you I’m there with the goods.” — 
Everybody’s. 
Back to the Farm! 
Quite a large number of young men 
who were loudly singing a few months 
ago, “How ’Ya Gonna Keep ’Em Down 
on the Farm?” can be heard now in the 
mournful chant, “How We Gonna Stay 
in Town and Eat?” — Detroit Journal.
