BISHOP WHlPPLE's STORY.
It Was q Good One, but the Englishmen
Lost the Point.

It Was q Good One, but the Eng1ishmen
Lost the Point.
Perhaps no American clergyman is held
in higher esteem among EngIishmen who
know him than Bishop Henry Benjamin
Whipple of Minnesota. The bishop on one
occasion told a story, the point of which
was totally overlooked by his stolid Eng
Iish audience.
"This is story said the bishop, "of
the western frontier and illustrates the
brevity of pioneer speech. Years ago
had charge On the extreme western line
of civilization. At that time every man
carried firearms on his person and kept
rifle or pistol within easy reach of his bed
at night. One night one of the coolest
and most courageous men on the frontier
was sleeping with his rifle lying beside
him on the bed. He had the reputation
of being a dead shot, and it was well
known that no one had any chance when
Dick once got the drop on him
''Win you kindly explain what drop
means in that queer western usage?'' asked
q sedate bishop.
"Why, it means y said Bishop Whipple,
"that one man has another covered by his
gun-pistol, mean. -
''And, excuse me, - said another digni
tary at the end of the table, "but do you
mean by dead shot that the man you get
the drop on with your gun is equal to
dead man?'
Precisely, - said Bishop Whipple.
''WeII, as was about to remark, Dick
was awakened one night by a noise at his
window. Slowly turning his face toward
the noise, SO as not to give warning to any
possible enemy there, he saw mans S head
and shoulders framed in the open window.
Dick, still as noiseless as a serpent, reached
for his rifle He raised it slowly over his
own body until the barrel was in line with
the intruder's head. Dick always made
sure of this point, and his adversary was
directly in front of his weapon before
using any palaver. He hated SO to waste
ammunition. "
f'And pray, what is 'palaver9' - asked
bishop who had not heard the same word
as used by the English themselves in
Africa
''Oh, 'palaver' means talk, generally
idle words.
''As soon as Dick felt that he had the
drop on his visitor he sung out:
'' You git'
1.-THE robber looked up hastily, saw in
stantly that the dead shot had him covered
with the rifle aud replied coolly:
g You betI and dropped to the ground
and disappeared.
Not a mitered head lost its dignity by ap
preciating the huInor of the story. There
was painful silence for moment. Then
one member Of the solemn hierarchy said;
''What does git mean, bishop"
''Why, git is American for get and
means go awE.-, be of. -
"Ah, I seel'' replied the Englishman.
Then another Britisher asked:
'tAnd what, pray, does you bet mean?"
"That, said Bishop Whipple, with a
smile ''is a slang phrase meaning of
course or that the proposition is SO sure
that you can bet on it.
"Ah, very clevah, indeedr' said another
Anglican. ''But what queer words you
Americans make use of Do all talk that
way?''
The joke had escaped detection.-Cbi-
cago Chronicle.

HISTORICAL SERMON.
Preached by Rector c. A.L.RichardS
at ST. Johns Church.
II Marked the c oss OF the Observance OF
The l75th Anniversary.

Rev. G. A. l.. Richards, rector at st.
yesterday at the service which concluded
the celebration of tho l75th anniversary
of the parish.
The curate, Rev. II. b. Washburn,
offered prayer and the program of special
music was given under the efficient leader
ship of MIR. William Eccles, oryanist and
choir master.
DIR. richards text was Ephesians III,
81: "In Whom all the Building Fifty
Framed Together Groweth unto Holy
Temple in the Lord.
by way of introduction he told of the
beginnings of the English church In
America. and OF the strong opposition to
the churchmen in New England. Ho thon
reviewed tho history Of St Johns which
under tho name Of Kings church. WAS be-
gun on st. Barnabas day in l722 with "a
building fund of 770 pounds.
The following appeal was sent to the
whore we intend To obey, serve and adore
God, according To the Protestant religion
ana ths Reformation according to Edward
VI Cranmer and the blessed Queen
Elizabeth.
Rev. George Pigott came over and was
the first rector and soon afterward the
names of Rev. John Checkley and Rev.
On St Barnabas' day In 1870 under the
administration OF Rev. DIR. Crocker, the
building of the present edihce was be-
gun. The chapel was built in 1853, but
the church remained otherwise unchanged
for half century, when, toward the
close of Dr. Duane's ministry, the church
and transepts were added. The church
was redecorated In 1871; the lecturn and
other memorial brasses have been added
since. The rectory dates from 1867 the
parish house from 1898 The latest
change was the new organ in the
north transept, connected electrically
with the organ in the west gallery.
DIR. Richards deplored the system Of
pew ownership. Iu was introduced, he
said, when tho first st. Johns chucrh
was repaired i112. and TO our lasting
injury. 1t served TO maintain the church
ms the club of well-to-do people. which it
continued TO be fur on into the present
century. That Is condition from which
we trust St Johns has forever emerged
The system still exists; certain pews, TO
my regret are still subject to private
ownership recent attempt TO convince
tho corporation that a free church alone
can meet the conditions Of this parish has
failed; but the logic OF events moves only
free. and the church at all its services is
practically open and welcoming to all
who desire TO attend il In conclusion the
preacher referred Co the good work done
for the parish bv his past assistant, Rev.
Joseph hutchinson, and later by the
curate, Rev. Il. Is. Washburp, and he also
paid splendid tribute TO the zeal and
efficiency of Miss Sarah Allen Potter, the
parish missionary.
