A Spelling Lesson. Once upon a time there was a stubborn stub-born student who refused to learn to spell. - But always the teacher pleaded with the student and often said: "You will suffer some great iacon-venience, iacon-venience, if not actual tragedy, sometime, some-time, by reason of this refusal of yours to study orthography !" Yet still the student was obdurate, and said "blah." One day, after the obdurate student had grown to manhood, he poisoned himself eating oysters in "Orgust." And when the teacher, who had now atrown old and toothless teaching orthography, or-thography, heard this, she said: "Uh, huh! I told him so!" From Life.
