THE BEST WAY.
It was a hot, sultry afternoon in the middleof August. The new pupil teacher had been giving the children an object lesson on the wild duck, thinking that that subject would be the most likely to awaken their interest.
“Now, children,” said she after a lengthy explanation, “ who will tell me the best way to shoot the wild duck S’ The children looked puzzled. Only for a moment, though, for one little girl at the bottom of the class really couldn’t miss this chance. Up went her hand to the highest possible altitude it could assume.
“ Yes, dear,” said the teacher.” “ Please, Miss,” she almost, gasped, so eager was she to get it out; “ please, miss, I know. Wail till the duck’s not looking.”
