Fact Versus Fancy.

A good story is being told of a reply given by a student to a question set in an examination paper: “If 20 <nen reap a field in eight hours,” ran the question, “how long will it take 15 men to reap the sama field?” , The student thought long and carefully before setting down the answer, and-when he handed in his paper thia is what the examiner read: “The field having already been reaped by the 20 men, could not ba reaped by the 15.”—Tit-Bits.
