MY FAVORITE STORIES

ABe not guaranteed-Some I have told for 2O years-Some less

Gravitation

Many years ago I told in this co,lumn the story of the nigger who came back from the Arctic where he had joined an exploration party, with marvelous stories of how cold it got up there. He told of one day when it dropped to a hundred below zero, and. everything froze up, finally picturing an eagle that was flying a mile from the ground, freezing right there with extended wings and staying right there in the sky, frozen injo position. "But," said one of his hearers, "what about gravity?" "Fool!" replied the story teller, "doan you know'at gravity had done froze up a houf befo' de eagle did."

Flere's another on that line.
