A Good Joke Related by the Victim Him

SELL
A Wheeling minister, who recently
visited friends In a western State, tells
this story upon himself. He was asked
by minister Of the same denomination
to take charge Of his church for week,
in order to enable him to take a short
vacation. He readily assented. When
he arose in the pulpit on Sunday morn
ing to preach his sermon, he prefaced
his discourse with few remarks OF q
personal nature, assuming that the con-
gregation would have curiosity to
know something about him. Among
other things, he told his hearers he was
from West Virginia.
When the services were over,
he remained in the church,
Snd IN few minutes walked out alone.
At the door he met an old farmer with a
mule and cart.
Morning, SIR" said the farmer, res
pecJfully removing his hat.
Good morning." said the minister.
you're from West Virginia, amt
you?"
"Yes, SIR"
"Wal, we didn't see many West Vir-
ginlans around these ere parts. Fact
is, the only one l know is this mule, !"
pointing to the animal.
The minister considered the remark
Of the farmer very good joke, and
laughed heartily. During the week a
reception was given at the pastors resi-
dence In honor of the new minister, who
was soon to depart for home. During
the evening the minister repeated the
story Of his interview with the farmer.
Everybody enjoyed it, and laughed
heartily. One old lady in particular
was so much amused that she attracted
attention. When she finally reRained
her composure she convulsed the assem-
blage by saying:
well, well, Mr.. --, every time
see q mule now, I'll think Of you"
