as to establish themselves as current
coin in the realm of Josh" The
bishops hunaOT is like that of Abra-
ham Lincoln. He is fond of illustrat-
ing point and thorems by means Of
comic little stories. Here is one that
never before creot into type:
At . time when an outbreak among
the Indians seemed probable, and they
were defiant and sullen, the bishop
said to then:
Il think these Indians have been
hunting with white men,
They asked what was meant by the
bishop, who replied:
An Indian and a white man went
hunting together and killed a wild tur-
key and 2 buZZard. When the time
came for dividing the game the white
man said: 1 am a good white man
and like TO be just, and in the division
of this game you shall have the first
choice. Now. I will have the turkey
and you may have the buzzard, or you
may have the buzzard and I'll have the
turkey. The Indian replied: 1t sounds
fair, but rs al turkey for white man
and ell buzzard for Indian
The red men. breaking loose from
their wOnted demeanor of stOicism,
shouted with laughter, and always re-
minded the bishop of the anecdOte when
he visited them in after years.
Like so many others who have be-
come famsds. Bishop WhiDDle owes
much to his mother. The following
will show one of the pieces of advice
from her by which he often profited in
aftSr life: When a boy he had defend
ed a smaller lad from the attacks of a
bully. He returned home, triumphant
but badly battered. His mother was
naturally shocked.
Yes. it is bad" he said, ''but, mother
you ought to see the other fellOwi"
After hearing his account of the al
fair the mother patted his head gently
and said: My dear boy, il is always
right to defend the weak and helpless. -
1t was this that made him the 'aDoS-
tie to the Indians" and the indomitable
maintainer of their rights, in face OF
secret and o9en enemies in the high
places of power in the east and in tbs
face of the current and practically
acted upon sentiment Of the frontier
that the only good Indian is the dead
one.
Bishop Whipple has always been pas
Sionately fond of fishing, in which he
is an expert. One OF his Indian
priests once closed an address to his
people with this tribute to the good
bishop:
And besides all this. my friends. he
has caught the largest fish ever caught
in Minnesota 1 know this, for 1 saw
it with ny own eyes. 1 have heard
that he caught the largest fish ever
caught in Florida. I believe that, be-
cause 1 know he could do it,
In his autobiography, Lights and
Shadows of a Long Episcopate,' the
bishop says:
There is nothing that sends such q
thrill along an anglers nerves as tC
feel 2 four-DOund trout on a Six-Ounce
rod-nOt even the taking of a tar9On
the silver king of the southern waters.
Once, when offered the privilege Of
salmon fishing in Scotland, learning
that the weather was very unfavOrable
and that but one salmon had been ia
ken in several days, he says: Il resist
ed the temptation. having no desire tC
injure my apostolic character as a fish
erman."
The bishop once mentioned the case
of a very thinIy clad old Indian, on
a cold day, who was told he would
freeze.
viii your face freezer" he asked his
pale-faced friend When he. was an
swered No" the red man reioined
Indian is all face"
During his ministrations in Chicago
the bishop had a mission church within
reach of hundreds of railroad men. He
asked the advice of The chief engineer
of the Galena railway. as to the best
manner of reaching these men. The en-
gineer counseled him to read Lardner S
Railway Economy until he could
talk with an engineer about lOcomO-
tive in such a way as not to be thought
d lOOl. ne 4OAlOM6u the cilS lIlcCI > ou-
vice. and presently astonished the rail
readers by his intimate acquaintance
with locomotive machinery Then he
said:
Boys, where do you 20 to church?
1 have a free church in Metropolitan
hall. where shall be glad to see vou
and if at any time you have an acct
dent or need me l will gladly go to
you
The following Sunday every man OF
them attended the free church.
When the late John Walter of the
London Times returned from a visit tC
the west he was asked what most i'm
pressed him. His answer was: The
schools of Bishop WhiDple at Fari-
bauIt"
One time the bishop was addressed
by free-thinker like this:
Dominic. you believe in the devil.
would like TO see the devil"
Have little patience, my friend,
was the reply.
One of the bishops peculiarities is q
belief in the immortality of dumb ami
mails and he has more than once ex-
pressed himself as confident that in an
other world he will reioin his faithful
horse BaShaw. which served him foI
many years and amid more than one
danger.
Nothing could illustrate more forci-
bly, the reforms which have been ac-
his own sturdy efforts, and the radica
changes which have taken place in re-
ligious thought during his long life
than the bishops own words:
Il can remember when Pusey was
refused license to preach in Oxford
when Maurice was deposed from Kings
college; when HamDden was denounc-
ed as a hereto and Temple branded
as an unbeliever. l have lived to see
Pussy revered by all who live devoted
lives under Christ. and to see Maurice
beloved by all generous hearts who be.
lieve in the brotherhood of man and the
fatherhOOd OF God. ] have lived to SEE
the greatest scholar in England d.
justice to Hampden, and to see all mer
rejoice that the church could call the
great-hearted Temple to be the arch
bishop Of Canterbury
