She Married Him.

In a well-known colored school in the south the lesson in general history one day was on the life of Queen Elizabeth.

"Thomas, did Queen Elizabeth ever marry?’’ asked the teacher. “Yes, ma’am, I think she did,” replied Thomas. “ "Are you quite sure?” "Yes, ma’am, the book says she did.”

"It does? Will you please find it?" Whereupon Thomas opened to the lesson and to the great amusement of the teacher read the statement that “Queen Elizabeth was married to her realm."

"There,” said he, triumphantly, “doesn’t it say she was married? I don’t exactly know who the gentleman was, but it certainly says she married Mm."
