Narrow-Minded.

The teachers of a Chicago school in the university quarter, looking out at recess, discovered, to their horror, what seemed to be a general fight in progress among the children—boys and girls together. When drder was restored it was found that one flushed and disheveled faction gathered round the extremely fat little daughter of a university professor, and the other round the small son of a famous pianist. “Now what does this disgraceful thing mean?” asked a teacher, sternly. “He slapped Natalie!" shrieked the little girls. “Did you?" questioned the teacher. “Yes,” said the boy, sturdily, "I did.” “And why did you do such a bad, rude thing?” “I don’t like her,” he answered, scornfully; “she’s too wide!”—Harper’s Magazine.
