Show How He Kept His Clothes Dry. Among a large shooting party on a. Scottish grouse moor was a certain elderly professor whose skill with his. gun was hardly equal to the profundi-ty profundi-ty of his intellect. Suddenly a heavy storm of rain came on, and as there-was there-was no shelter on the moor the shooters shoot-ers got thoroughly drenched through. At least, all but one suffered the professor. pro-fessor. He had mysteriously disappeared disap-peared when the rain came on, and ha did not rejoin the party until the sua was shining once more. To the amazement of the others the erudite-one erudite-one was as dry as a bone. The othera drenched and disgusted, inquired ol him how it was he had escaped wetting. "Directly the rain came on," replied the professor, "I went off by myself, stripped off my clothes, and , gat on them until the storm was over." |
