but on calling the name of William HibSard
there was no response, whereupen the follow
ing dialogue occurred; Bishop: 'Brethel
Hibtard why do you not answer to your name
as ~caliea?' Mr.. Hubbard: "You have mol
called my name" Bishop: "What is your
name, brother?" Mr.. Hibbard: ''tiily Hib
a little boy" Mr.. Hubbard: "Uwas n very
little bow when my father gave me shat
name" The reply upset the gravity of the
conference and an explosion of laughter fol
lowed in which the bishop joined. Mr., Hib-
bard at one time in conversation with a min
ister of another denomination, was asked the

Mayor little has issued his edict
against the shepherdstown boys firing
a squib or turning a whiriigig in the
Christmas holidays. Never mind,
boys !; just come over to GharIestown
and we will allow you to have lots of
fun, and shoot a squib or two in the
bargain-tust so you don't get too
wild, you know. But then Brother
little never was boy anyhow, and
that accounts for his being so hard
on the boys now. Give him a sere-
made, as the Staunton boys did their
Mayor several years ago, and that
will fix him.
