WAS AN AWFUL EEL at one time! I couldn't be still one minute so just for a little fun I got a rubber Stool, the very image of the other, and placed it at the desk. Now our teacher was a stout man who weighed about two hundred and twenty-five pounds and when he sat down, he sat down! I knew this idea would excite the class and make the teacher, called Prof angry, but nevertheless, I was tired of lessons. Prof came in the room and the class became quiet immediately.

He'll fix you up, you little brat! Beat it! Hurry up! I walked slowly down the stairs to the Principal's oflice. When I reached the office no one was there, and oh, how glad I was for my heart was beatin' like all sixty! Five minutes elapsed and still no Principal. It soon occurred to me that this was the hour of the Principal's business up town. This gave me an idea, and I was full of them, so I began to
