A teacher asked her class to write an essay on London. She was surprised to read the following in one attempt:
"The people of London are noted for their stupidity."
The young author was asked how he got that idea.
"Please, miss," was the reply, "it says in the text-books the population of London is very dense."
"Hiram writes that the first day he was in London he lost £12."
"Great Cæsar's ghost! Ain't they got any health laws in that town?"
