He Proved It.

During the recitation of a college class in natural philosophy, the professor observed a tall, lanky youth in a rear seat, his head drooping, his body relaxed, his eyes half closed, and his legs encumbering the adjacent aisle. “Mr. Frazer,” said the professor. The freshman opened his eyes slowly, but did not change his pose. "Mr. Frazer, what Is work?” “Everything is work,” was thf drawling reply. “Sir,” exclaimed the professor, “do you mean to tell me that is a reasonable answer to my question?” “Yes, sir.” “Then I take It that you would like me and the class to believe that this desk Is work?” “Yes, sir,” replied the youth wearily; “it is woodwork.” —The Christian Herald. >
