Show Mickey and Con. A book minded scion of the Verdant Isle was seeking intellectual food at the public library and could not quite make up his mind as to the particular literary repast he wished to make. In his hesitation ho wandered over to the case where the freshest volumes of the library's store are displayed for the stimulation of mental appetites. Here he saw a book whose title satisfied him that he had found just the thing he wanted. It was"Micah Clarke," by Dr. A. Conan Doyle. Approaching the attendant, he said: "Please gimme 'Mickey Clarke, ' by Con Doyle, out of that cupboard." He got the book, but the expression on his face when he came back with it 10 minutes later proved that ho had mistaken the nationality of his hero. Boston Herald. |
