"OnCe there was a little boy,", "What's his name?" "I forget." 4D1dn't he have any name?" "Yes, to be sure be Lad! Don't inter- rupt me, Robert." "Then what was it?" "Why, his name was—hisname was Bullus." "Julia's a girl's name," "This boy's name was Julius, not Julia, He was named for Julius Cae- sar," "I know something about Julius Caesar," Robert exclaimed, sitting up suddenly and quoting: "Julius. Caesar Was a wise old geezer, But he froze ole his feet In a ice cream freezer." "Where did you ever bear such a thing as that?" "Alfred Potts told it to me." "Well, don't you ever let me hear you use that word 'geezer' again, Now go to sleep." "But you didn't tell me the story." "All right. This isn't about Julius Caesar at all. Julius Caesar was a king, and he died a long time ago." • "'Wen he froze his feet off, papa?" "He didn't freeze his feet. That is a piece of silliness Alfred Potts told you." "What is a piece of silliness, papa?" "Don't ask me such foolish questions. Settle down and go to sleep or I'll go back downstairs and leave you alone." "Papa, my pajamas don't feel good."

"How'd you know what's his name, then?" "Well, ho lives—he lives in a town somewhere. And one day he went out and saw a tree that was simply full of birds. The birds"— "What did the birds do?" "The birds sang, of course." "What did they sing?" "They sang songs. Now, if you want me to tell you this story you will have to be quiet. So thee boy looked up at the birds and"— "My pajamas don't feel good." "They never will feel good if you. don't stop thinking about them. So this boy looked up at the birds, and-= he was a bad boy—and he thought it would be tmart to throw a stone at them." "Did he?" "Yes, he threw a stone at the poor little birds." "And what did the stone do?" "It made the birds fly. And then"— "Papa." "`Nell?" "What did the Sy do?" "What fly?" "The fly it made the birds into." "Robert Gallahue Todd, I 'am going downstairs, and if you are not asleep iu two minutes I shall punish yon!"

Chal- mers, the leader of the disruption, was expelled from his school as an incorri- gible dunce. Chatterton was sent home as a fool, and Leigh Hunt was con- sidered beyond all hope.
