The profeBBor was In a reminiscent
mood and with IiIb usual completeness
and vivacity of narration he related
the following Incident, which occurred
In one of his Latin classes twenty
years ago: One morning while he was
seated at his desk, a big, overgrown
fellow of about forty . years of age,
who was noted for his stupidity, came
lumbering in some minutes before
class time and seated hlmBelf In his
accustomed place. Opening hlB book
ho stared fixedly at the pago for several
minutes, with such a puzzled expres
sion upon hlB face that it was evident
something was weighing on his mind.
The professor observed him In silence
for some tlmo and then asked If ho
could enlighten him In any way.
"Well, profeBsor," he Bald, "I would
like to have you toll me what book of
Titus this Is that wo are studying."
"What book of Titus!" exclaimed tho
professor, and It was evidently his
turn to bo puzzled. "Yes, sir; what
book of Titus," replied the other, as
he Btuffed his hands into his pockets
and pursed his lips with an air of the
greatest confidence. "Can't you be
more explicit and tell me what you
mean?" asked the professor. "Well,
here's the point," was tho reply. "Hero
Is the title TIT1 LIVII. Now, I want
to know what numeral does LIVII
stand for." Fdr some minutes the pro
fessor was deprived of his composure,
and ho at the same tlmo wondered
what Titus Llvy would think If hn
could see his surname mistaken for a
numeral.
"What was hlB object In making that
long western trip?"
"He Intended writing a history of
the Platte river, and started- out to
find the sources."
