On the Right Side.
There was a cerlain University professor who was very absent-minded. He was a very human professor, and liked to join his students in a game of cards. One evening he sat down with some of them for a game, and it was agreed that each player should start by putting a pound note in the "kitty," All did so with the exception of the professor. Although he was known to be absentminded, the students were not going to let him get away with that, and, not lilcing to tell him directly, they prete?idcd to argue among- themselves as to which of them had not paid his stake. The professor listened for a moment or two, then quickly withdrew one of the notes from the "kitty." "If you young men are going to start quarrelling," he said, "I'm going to take my nioney back!"
