The late Bishop Piukney, that amiable
Episcopal churchman who was known pref
ty we'll over the country, was most de
voted and enthusiastic chess~player, says
the Philadelphia Telegraph. He would sit
up all night at the game if nct interrupted.
His reputation for charity and amiability
is we'll known in church circles. He was
regarded as the most amiaole Of men whose
profession is meekness. But there was one
man, minister of his own church, with
whom he could not play chess without quar-
reling. Yet this man was one OF the best
chess players in his diocese, and the rivalry
between them was constantly bringing
them face to face across the board One
night there was an assemblagc OF Episcopal
clergy at the Bishops house. Awed by the
presence OF the Bishop, the younger men
were on their best behavior, and tho even
ing was passing off as monotononsly as the
most orthodox could desire. Some one pro-
posed chess. In few minutes they were
paired off, the Bishop being pitCed against
his chief rival. However enthusiastic the
restof the company may have got, they were
mild and polite in their disputations out Of
respect for the Bishop.
Presently in Que corner of the room was
hes.rd the Bishops voice:
"You touched it, sir; you must n1ovep
''But did not replied his opponent.
t:You did," insisted the Bishop

at each contradiction the voices grew
louder. The men were glaring at eac|,
cther across the squares, and the Bishops
face was red with anger.
;If, sir, that is the way you play, sir,
urn doner' he cried, and the chessmen
ratified on the floor. Ills ecclesiastic oppo-
nent gathered them up and pnt them in the
fire. For a. few minutes they glazed at
each other, and the clergy assembled looked
on in horror. Suddenly the absurdity Of
the situation struck them both The Bishop
burst out laughing at the cbildishness Of
their quarrel, and their hands came TO-

Billy is a young naturalist as well as an

The number of packages left carelessly
lying around in different places in the city
and lost must run up into the thousands IN
the course OF a year. According to bllly
Meech railway ticket Office in pronl-
oent hotel at Chicago is the great receiving
basin of such truck. Many of the articles
left are found to be trifes of no account
whatever, but occasionally it happens that
something of value is found. Billy Meech
tells the following incident i'll this connec-
ton to a Herald reporter: Gone day l
found on my counter a package some one
had left, and SIS usual in such cases laid 1T
back, thinking the owner would call again
and claim it, as is usually the case, but IN
this instance no one came. After it had
been in our hands about two months my
clerk one day suggested that we open it.
and, agreeing, the string was cut, and
enough of the contents exposed to satisfy
US two fellows that it was an exceedingly
handsome night-gown for g lady. The fabric
was very fine, and the lace upon the front
would have made auy woman $ mouth water
with envy. Our curiosity satiated, the paper
was readjusted and the package laid back
on the shelf. My clerk was engaged to be
married, his fancee living down in Indian
apolis.
THE wedding was to come off in a short
time, and about two weeks before the time
he said, referring to that PACKAGE:

handsome thing. and can write a letter
explaining why ! send such q present.;

The girl got the package all right, for

By one of those mishaps that always occur
when they should not, she failed to get the
