A good joke is told Of preacher In Nebraska,
who had dined with friend just before afternoon
services. As it happened, this friend occasionally
luxuristed in a smile of the ardent and sometimes
carried morrocco-covered flash in his overcoat
pocket. By mistake the minister took the freud's
oSercoat on his departure, and, walking into the
pulpit, began the exercises without dofing the
garment, it being rather chilly in the room.
Looking very ministerially over his congrega-
ten from behind his spectscles, he began drawing
from his pocket. as he supposed, his hymn book,
with the Introductory remark that the congregs-
ION would sing from particular page which he
bad selected beforehand. The minister held the
supposed book up in full sight of the congrega-
ton and attempted TO open it sideways, but il was
no 90. The situation was realized IN Q moment,
but alas too late.
His reverence was dumbfounded. the audience
giggled and the whole scene was made ludicrous
Dy fellow in the back part Of the congregation,
not altogether too sober, who drawled out:
Say, mister, kin we all (hic) jine in that ar
