What Happened After the Professor'r
Happy Thought Came.
A college profeaaor had been Invit
ed to deliver hi lecture on "Highway
and Byways of .Jteratiire" at a little
town la Indiana the State that pro
duced George Ade and Jamea Whit
comb Riley among other favorite.
The evential evening came; and a
the ' lecturer gmed upon the row
apon row of earnest, eager faces
tefore tlm breathlessly waiting
for 111 naessaye, a happy thought
struck blm. and, stepping to the front
of the platform, be said:
"Aa this la to be purely a literary
lecture it seems fitting that practition
er of the glorioua art of writing. If
any are present, should receive due
reeogaition aad honor, and before 1
begin my discourse I wish to extend a
cordial Invitation to any author who
may 'happen to be In the house to
please come forward and take a aeat
on the platform with tha chairman."
In the frantic rush that ensued the
three front rows of seats were upset
and demolished, four women fainted
and had to be carried out, a half doiea
derby hats were crushed to pulp, three
men received black eyes, several oth
ers had their coat ripped up the back,
and the reading stand waa toppled
over with a crash. When the dust
had settled down so that It waa pos
sible to see across the hall once more
one man alone remained seated ta the
auditorium. The rest were on the
stage.
The astonished lecturer gated for a
moment at the deserted man In front
of him, and then, the humorous aide
of the affair appealing to blm, be
smiled indulgently down upon the soli
tary occupant of the auditorium and
said:
"I forgot that this waa Indiana. Per-
hape you did not understand my In
vitation."
"Hey? What's that!" demanded the
man, holding a trumpet to hia ear and
leaning forward with a look of strain
ed Inquiry on his face.
"I say. perhsps you did not under.
stand the invitation," repeated tha
lecturer. "This being a discourse on
literature, any author who chanced to
be present waa requested to come for
ward and take a aeat on tba platform
with the chairman."
"Oh, all right; I'm coming! Didn't
bear you the first time." apologized
the deaf man. and he. too. rose to hia
feet and atarted briskly for the platr
form.

CETLES IN BIRDS' NESTS.
New Reglen fer the Effort ef
Collectors.
But
In the Entomol'glats' Monthlr Uaa-
aaln Mr. N. H. Joy Indicates aa ap
parenuy little explored region for
rare beetles. Having last rear oh
talaed various species looked upon aa
rare by collectors in birds' neata. Mr.
Joy raa led to doubt the genuine rar
ity of theee species. He further eon.
eluded that If the ne.ta of our familiar
ire aad mamals were carefully
aearcked many species of beetle might
eeaaa to be labeled rare in the record
ef entomology. Mr. Joy baa put his
theory to the test, and finds that
birds' nests ar productive of many
rare aad Interesting beetles. And la
searching tha nests ef smaller British
mamala thia enthusiastic collector baa
beea area more successful. Is It not
area aoaalble that whea such aieua
tloaa ar more carefully and exhaus
tively searched new aeclea of beetle
may reward the collector?
