Show WAS FEELING WRONG BUM? Sagacious Phrenologist Mistaken in His Conclusions, as It Turned Out. The learned professor was giving his public lecture on phrenology, and for purposes of demonstration he invited in-vited a boy to the platform, says the New York American. After a critical criti-cal examination of the lad's cranium, he turned to the audience: "Ladies and gentlemen, " he said, "the protuberance on this little boy's head is remarkably well developed. It is the bump of philoprogenitiveness. In the present case it proves that the boy has an extraordinary love for his parents. (Addressing the boy:) Isn't that true, Johnny?" Johnny hesitated a moment, then said: "Well, I get along pretty well with the old lady, but the old man ain't such a much." ' "Why, how is that, my boy?" asked the professor. "Well, if yuh want me ter let it out, the bump yer blowin' about is where pop hit me yesterday wit' a belt buckle." |
