THE BISHOPS JOKE.
II Needed Translation and Didn't
Go Even Then.

(From tie ST.. Paul Pioneer Press)
Perhaps no American clergyman is held
in higher esteem among EngliShmen WIN

Whipplr If Minnesota. He has paid fire.
qurnt visits to conferences ami JtheT
gatherings OF the Protestant Episcopal
Church in England. During the recent
Lamtetl conference he prea ched in West
minister Abbey. and tremendous audi
ence went to hear him. But the bishop
is fully as popular a. a good story teller.
In the latter capacity he has done ef
fective missionary work in converting the
British mind t. an understanding and ap-
preciafion of American hum0r.
Before the bishop had succeeded in
aroasing this uudarStansiin how ever, he
met with several experiences which would
have been embarras ssing had not the mar
rator been gifted with irrepressibic good
humof. The bishop ON one occasion told
story, the point Of which was totally
Overlooked toy his stolid English audience.
''This is story" said the bishop, ''of
the Western frontier, and illustrates the
brevity of pioneer speech. Years ago l
mad charge on the extreme western line
of civilization, and saw a great deal of
wild frontier life. 4 that time every
msn carried firearms on his person aud
kept rifle or pistol within easy rcach
Of his bed at night. One night one Of the
coolest and most courageous men ON the
frontier was sleeping. as was his custom,
with his rifle lying beside him ON the
bed. He mad the reputation of icing a

''Will YOU kindly explain what drop

West Sometimes prefer the terser express
sion, gum
And, excuse me-" said another digui-
tafy at the end of the table, but do you
mean by dead shot that the man yvu
get the drop on with your gun is equal
to a dead mann"
"Precisely," said Bishop Whipple.
Wei, as J was about to remark. Dick
was awakened ono night by a noise DIT his
window, Slowly turning his face toward
the noise, ~ as not to give warning 20
any possible enemy there, he saw mans
head and shoulders framed in the open
window. Dick. still as nIotionless as a
serpent, reached for his rifle. He raised IL

Howard WaTnell, formerly a private in
Company A. Fifth Battalion Of the DIS
trict National Guard. was TO-DAY charged
in the police court before Judge KimbalI
with unla wfu!ly retaining certain arti-
cles of equipment after having receiv eel
notice TO return the same to the company
commander. TIE articles are specified
as follows: One forage cap, one overcoat, !,
one blouse. one pair of blue trousers. one

Lieut.. W III. MeIlach testified that War
nell enlisted III the company of which he
was lieutenant the day previous to the last
annual encdmpment at Fort Washington.
and that tbs articles of equipment We're is
sued to him On that day. Since then moth
ing had been seen of Warnell. On the 2Sth
of September wamell was notified to re-
turn the articles, but nothing was heard
from bIm III response.
Just at this point an important question
was raised by Assistant District Attorney
Mullowny. He asked whether WaTnen was
considered q member OF the National Guard.
Lieut.. Mellach explained that a man en
listing was held on probation for a term of
thirty DAYS before he was ,luly enrolled as
a member Of the National Guard. If upon
conclusion of this term the candidate was
found to be of good character, he was duiy
enrolled and il not, his enlistment papers
were destroyed.
''Thon warneIl is not a soldier In the
Gaurd?'' interrupted the court.
well, he is not so considered according
to the ruling OF the adjutant general
answered Lieut.. Mellach.
WarneIl then took the stand in his own
behalf. He told the court a story which
excited the sympathy of all who heard it.
lie said he had been Ill with feye; nearly
three months and that he was unable 20
return the property. He had received the
notice 10 return the articles. All but the
rifle and belt he turned over to the police.
Those two articles, he stated, were In the
locker OF friend OF his In the Qua rd armory
Lieut.. Mellach stated that he had no
doubt that Warnell's story was true.
Judge Kimbali. how ever, was not entirely
satisfied and he directed that the case be
postponed until tomorrow, so 1t corIid he
learned whether the rifle and belt wer.
