Silenced the Ringleader
The head teacher in a Sunday-school was much worried by the noise of the pupils in the next room, At last, unable to bear it any longer, he mounted a chair and looked over the partition. Seeing a boy a little taller than the others talking a great deal, he leaned over, hoisted him over the partition, and banged him into a chair in his room, saying:
“Now be quiet.”
A quarter of an hour later a smaller head appeared around the door and a meek little voice said:
“Please, sir, you’ve got our teacher.”
