Didn't Want It Flattened.
This atory ia told of Jerome K. Je
rome. the humorist. Returning from
Abroad one time, be fell Into food com
pany, with the exception of one man,
who waa what is known aa "a walking
encyclopedia." This man persisted In
giving all aorta of Information, much
to the annoyance of Mr. Jerome and
others. One morning, aa the travelers
leaned over the rail, admiring the ris
ing sun, the man with the Information
turned to them and said almost sol
menly; .
"Gentlemen. If the earth were Cat-
tened oat the sea would be two miles
deep over the whole world."
Mr. Jerome turned around, seeming
ly a tunned. Then he grew Indignant,
and, walking over to the other man.
he said, shaking his finger menacingly:
"Look here, man. If yon catcb any
fellow trying to flatten out the earth
ahoot him on the spot I can't swim."
