NOT REALLY PRoFANE.
How the Porter Insulted the
Bishop.

CFrom the Rochester Post-Express)
My sympathy with the poor letter II has
been awakened once more by coming across
an old story as TO the character of which
the table will be good enough TO suspend
its Judgment until have told il all. 1t is
about an English Bishop-and his name was
Luscome He was a good deal of a Bishop
and much given 10 magnifying his office.
In the course of his travels, one summer
he reached a large London terminus at
the busiest hour Of the day. and, having a
great deal of luggage, he at once called
upon a porter TO find il for him, and men
toned that his name was Il. The man
was very much occupied and in perempto-
ry tone (highly unbecoming in a menial
addressing a dignitary of the church, he
said: 'Oh, you go 10 HE'LL The Bishop
was thunderstruek. He demanded of the
first official where were the authorities
to whom he could state his grievance. He
was told that, as il happened, the board
was at the very time in session upstairs.
Accordingly he made his way up to the
board room. and, addressing himself 10 the
chairman. informed him that one OF the
company's porters had actually told him
TO go where no Bishop ought to go. The
offending porter was summoned and asked
what he had to say for himself. Instead
of showing any signs of penitence, the man
said: The gent told me his name was
LuscOme. Each piece of luggage is car
ried to the compartment labeled with the
the letter with which the passengers name
begins. So / told the gent to go to Hell.
and if he'll only go TO Hell he will find
il there" The matter was plain enough
Even the Bishop saw that the apparent in
suit was in reality only a misplaced as
pirate, and the chairman blandly observed:
My lord. We train our men 10 be quick
and efficient and civil, but not even rail-
way board can train them TO understand
