Blshon Potter,s den.

Bishop Potter, the dignified bishop of
New York, is the Joker of the house of
bishops says the Minneapolis Journal
He is always looking for a chance to
make some of his brethren Of the cassock
the object of a little harmless laughter
He is also the raconteur-in-chief of the
august body to which he belongs. At al
most any time when the house in not in
session he is the center OF little group
of clergymen and bishops to whom ne
is telling one OF his drOll stories. His
slow, yet easy, manner of narration ana
the dropping eyeiids, which remind one
of Mgr. Satolh, add greatly to the effect
Of his anecdotes.
troduced a reporter to Bishop Potter one
morning while he was RECALLING two of
his associates with an account OF a device
of his own invention for the suppression
Of story4ellers who deal in ancient tales
do you know what we say Of reporters
in New York2@ asked the bishop.
The reporter ventured a conjecture thar
I'VE say: Take them out and slay
them, " replied the bishop.
Then he went on with his story.
Some of as were talking the other
night" ne proceeded slowly, about pee
pie who tell old stories at dinners. / sug-
eested that It would be a happy idea for
the host to conceal q large chestnut in 8,
group of palms and flowers in the center
Of The table and have this chestnut CON
nected with a mechanical cOntrivance
which could be worked by a button placed
at each guests seat When any one
was telling a story the moment guest
recognized the earmarks of age he woulG
press the button and the chestnut would
rise 10 in the center Of the table. AnG
