He Felt Small.

Dr. Oliver W. Holmes was small in stature. Upon one occasion he was present at a meeting which happened to be attended by a number of very large men, thus making his diminutive size rather conspicuous. One of these men—doubtless wishing to> make him feel at ease—came up to him and said: "Well, Dr. Holmes, I should think you would feel rather small among all these fellows.” *1 do,” replied the doctor; "I feel like a 3-cent piece among a lot of pennies.”
