THE BISHOP AND REPORTER.

The ubiquitous A me-ican interviewer has
met bis match. It has been admitted by
most intelligent people that the American
interviewer can sooner or later extra CT
from any nan all that he knows on any
subject, only give him tiIae enough. Ger
tain varieties of the interviewer are not
careful 20 preserve the victims self
opmplacency While doing this. This is
always unfortunate, and there are public
men VINO ablure the whole species OF
iISegviewers on that account
But it took a bishop 20 circumyent the
interviewer in an absolutely harmless and
consistent way. This bishop came over
on the same steamer Nth Richard Croker,
and stree the public displays the greediest
and most consuming anxiety To know
what Mr.. Croker means to do about the
political future OF New YORK, the bishop,
among other people, was interviewed If
Mr. Croker had been entertaining his
travelling companions with rose -colored
visions of the future, the world wis he'd
to know what they were.
TIE reporter began, quite unconcernedly
by asking the bishop if he knew Mr.
Croker.
The bishop said Waugh"
Ihen TIE reporter Inistaking this foI
the Colorado form OF yes, inquired If the
bishop didn't think Mr.. Croker a strong
and STRAIGHTFORWARD man.
The bishop said Waugh"
The reporter said Mr. Croker must have
been very popular on board the ship,
The bishop answ cred waugh
Then the reporter thought he could make
up about as good an interview as thai
| himself, and hurriedly remarked, Good
day"
'Waugf," said tie bishop.
There is no patent on this system s,
far IS heard from, and there needn'
be for as the interviewee is usually quite
as anxious TO ger into print as the in
tcryiewer is to put him there. few peo

Modern Methods

A London paper is Just now devoting
space tc the question whether the modern
woman car darn. Everybody knows tina;
the old fashioned woman could and did,
and TIE iamp-lit hours which she used to
while away in that occupation make one
sigh at the thought of them. The mission
Of the old ia ShioB ed woman was very largely
20 fill up the holes which other people
made Other people, having no concern
about these holes, We're sometimes very
reckless in making them. This is true in
many n,etapnorical ways.
But as to the question of darning, pure
and simple, it is probably true that the
modern woman doesn't do so much of it
as her grandmother did. Careless people
jump TO the conclusion that it is because
she is learning Latin and Greek, or work
ing in offices, or something. But that isn't
all Of it.
In the old times, when grandmothers
knit stockings with strong, sure stitches,
and one of the questions invariably asked
about gown ia buying it was whether
it woulG wear. darning was a necessity.
1t woni1 not do to throw away pair of
nand-knit long hose because there was a
three-cornc tear in them, and a skill

almost any garment so that, as Robbie
Burns said. ''auld claes looked amaist as

Nowadays it is different. The modern
hose go all to pieces at once, like the

reason A modern garment gives out
{ in half dozen places at once, and If 1t

THE ULTIMATUM SCARE.
