Up and Down With Bishop.
Bishop Dudley of Kentucky was
much addicted to sport, especially
liking to hunt and fish, says the New
York Press. Once, when on a shoot
ing trip, the bishop chanced to fall
in with an old mountaineer, who, ac
cording to Representative Ollie
James, took a great fancy to his newv
acquaintance, whom he did not in the
least suspect was a bishop. When
Bishop Dudley was preparing for his
return home he invited the old man
to visit Louisville, so that he might
hear him preach.
"Preach?" gasped the* old moun
taineer. "'What, you preach! Kin
you preach as well as you kin shoot?"
"Much better," responded the bish
op, smilingly. "Be sure to.c'ome some
Sunday. I'll see that you get a goqd
'seat in front."
The old man availed himself. of the
invitation thus extended. At the con
clusion of the service he quickly
sought out his friend, the bishop. and
grasped his hand.
"Mr. Bishop," he cried enthusiasti
cally. "I don't know much about
your creeds and dogmatics, but I riz
and rot with you every time!'
V The Bold Unknown.
Col. Albert A. Pope. says the Cin
cinrati Enquirer was talking about a
man wvho. at an automobile race, had
rejoiced greatly. thiniking his own
car had won, when, as a matter of
fact, the victor had been another
man's car of similar construction.
which he had mistaken for his own.
"Poor fellow,." said Col. Pope, "he
felt. I fancy, like a young friend of
mine, who took his pretty wife to the
theatre the other night.
"After the play was over, and my
friend and his pretty bride had got
into their carriage, and were on their
way home, she leaned toward him af
fectianately and said:,
"'Dear, you shouldn't have squeez
ed my hand while we were coming
out of the theatre.' When :1 squeezed
back I meant for you to stop.',
" 'Me? Why,' stammered the hus
band, 'I never tnnehed youe hand?''
KANSAN'S "HOLY BATH."
Emporia Man Takes Annual Icy
Plunge to Wash His Sins
Away.
Dennis Reed of Emporia, Kan.,
who has the queerest religious no
tions of any man in the vicinity of
Emporia, took his annual "holy bath"
in the Cottonwood river the other
day, says the Kansas City Star. For
years it has been his custom New
Year's day to dress himself in an
angelic looking white linen garb 'with
folds and to parade the entire length
of Commercial street to the Cotton
wood river. After reciting certain
passages of Scripture he breaks the
ice and takes a cold plunge. Then he
walks back home.
Reed says that the Lord has in
formed him that in this way his sins
are annually washed away. A large
crowd of boys, on their way home
from Sunday School, saw Reed and
followed him to the river to see the
religious rite.
Reed says he gets messages occa
sionally from God. one of which in
formed him he will live a thousand
years.
The Worst to Come.
William Jennings Bryan told a
story when in this city, says the
Brooklyn Daily Eagle, that would
seem to indicate the Nebraskan is
somewhat worried at the appropria
tion by President Roosevelt of some
:f the leading doctrines of the demo
cratic .party. Mr. Bryan good na
tredly suggested that the republican
party might leave to the democrats
such issues as governmental owner
ship, federal regulation of the rail
roads and radical tariff revision.
" Mr. Roosevelt's recent advanced
position in these matters," said the
.ebraska man, "reminds me of a
s.ory told of an old colored woman
regarding her experience with an up
to-date physician. Se had been at
tended by a colored dector without
g:tting relief from -her ailment, -and
c2cided to consult a white physician.
She was somewhat mystified at the
s::ientific movements of the latter.
Later she was questioned by a friend
regarding the methods of the new
doctor.
'Did he take your temeprature?"
she was asked.
'Deed I doan kno' sah. ut I spec
he: did,' was the reply. 'So far I only
k:'ws dat he took my watch.'
"So far," continued Mr. Bryan,
President Roosevelt has only taken
ti.- democratic issues of government
a! ownership, federal regulations of
rr:es and low tariff, but I suspect the
w orst is yet to come."
