There is ;t characteristic glimpse of Yorkshire "downrlghtness" in the pub lished reminiscences <>f an English clergymau: At my institution to t'phfim a re tired colonial bishop, about to take an English benefice, said: "Well, you and I have worked both In north and south. In what points <h> you consider that they differ?" "Oh, my lord." 1 answered, "1 can soon tell you that. If a Vorksbireman thinks you a fool he comes and tolls you so to your face. Down here they go and tell somebody else." "You have exactly hit it." said the bishop. " The difference could not be better described." Yorkshire regard for Iho pocket Iho nforesaid clergyman Illustrates In this anecdote: a groom being asked how long ho lived In the south replied, "Twenty years." ' What! Have you. a York shlreman, lived twenty years down here and not made your fortune?" "Kb," nnswered th' man, "but turns ther were Yarkshlre too." Nothing Funny Aboot It.
