SCHOOLMASTER’S AMUSING EXPERIENCE.
—4 An ex-colleague of mine became very popular by the following occurrence, the tafle of which spread through the school like wildfire. This gentleman used to teach in a little classroom that led to the playground. One day a big lad of 17 opened the door from the building, coolly crossed the room, and was about to open the door opposite to let himself out, when my friend caught hold of him by the collar, lifted him off the ground, and, to the stupefaction of the boys, carried him back through the room as he would a dog by the skin of his neck, and quietly dropped him outside the door he had entered by. Not a word was uttered, not an Oh ! not an Ah ! The performance terminated somewhat comically. The boy, had on a paper collar, which remained as a trophy in the master’s hands.
