A pedant and a bald headed man and a barber were travelling together and pitching camp in a wild section they agreed that each one should stay awake four hours and guard their possessions It fell to the barber to watch first Desiring to play a trick he shaved the head of the sleeping pedant and his watch being finished he woke up the latter The pedant rubbing his head on awakening and finding himself bare he said What a worthless fellow is that barber he has made a mistake and wakened the bald headed man instead of myself 32 The Jests of Hierocles and Philagrius By Hierocles, Philagrius, Charles Clinch Bubb, Rowfant Club (Cleveland, Ohio)
