A HISTORIC FACT
The Inspector was examining upon
history, and all the children had been
specially told by their master not to
answer unless they were almost sure
their answer was correct. "Now tell
me," said the Inspector, "who was the
mother of our great Scottish hero
Robert Bruce?" He pointed to the
cop boy, and then round the class,
There was no answer. Then the heart
of the teacher leaped with joy, for
the boy :it the bottom of the class had
raised his hand. "Well, my boy," said
the Inspector, encouragingly, "who
was she?" The boy paused a moment,
and then said, "Pleasej sir, she was
Mrs. Bruce."
