EDWARD EVERETT HALE'S JOKE
A Bit of Gentle Fun at Bishop Hunt
ington's Expense

Q
The other morning several ministers
who were assembled at their weekly
meeting place were entertaining each
other with jokes and stories on the
brethren of the cloth.
II heard a little story the other day
which believe has never been given out
to the public" said the pastor of we'll
known South Side church. 1T con-
Germs two eminent churchmen. one of the
Unitarian and the other of the Episcopal
church, Edward Everett Hale and Bish
op Huntington Of New York respec-
lively. At one time Bishop Hunting
ton was a member of the Unitarian
church, but afterward changed over to
the Episcopalian flock. Bishop Hunt
ington and DR.. Hale were old friends.
and they continued such after the con-
version of the bishop. The Episcopal
ians have a lot of saints assigned to the
various days in the year. When an
Episcopalian minister writes letter on
any day for which there is saint he
always writes the name of the saint at
the close of the letter instead of the date.
Bishop Huntington learned all of these
them at once. The first time he had oc-
casion to write to his old friend DR.. Hale
after joining the church he used the
regulation method of closing his letter,
placing st. Michael's day after his sig
nature. A reply from the doctor came.
and after his name he had written. in a

Louisville, Ky.-Is 1t a romance?
This is what is being asked by members
of the party who accompanied William
Jennings Bryan on his tour Of Kentucky
last week. At LorettO there is a school
for girls, in charge Of the Nazarene Sis
ters. When the Bryan special reached
Loretto the school girls gathered to
greet the silver leader. Then the Sis
ters in charge pressed forward. One by
one they clasped his hand and passed
on. The sixth stopped, raised her cowl,
and looking up, said
"Mr. Bryan, knew you long ago."
Mr.. Bryan was startled. He leaned for
ward and a name was whispered in his
ear. He still clasped the hand of the
nun, whose cowl had fallen back and re-
vealed a face that showed traces Of
great beauty. There was a whispered
but not until the train
moved slowly away did they break their
hand clasp.

The Brothers Exchanged Trunks

Joseph Simone, an italian confection-
er who arrived on the steamship Hes
peria and landed Saturday at the barge
office, was surprised when he looked in
to the trunk he brought with him. The
custom inspectors wondered what a
confectioner wanted with a trunkful of
things that belonged to priest. Joseph
explained. He said he and his brother
Andre, who is a Catholic missionary
bound for Africa, had left Italy on the
same day. They had trunks just alike
and they got mixed. The priest will
doubtless be more startled than Joseph
when he opens his trunk and finds it
filled with the utensils of a confectioner.
Joseph will send the priests trunk to
him and the priest will doubtless for
