who rose to address the house of lords
on a very important occasion. 81 will

he said, to the discomfort of his audi

The Marquis of Salisbury begged to
be allowed to interpose with n little
anecdote. "A friend of mine was re-
turning home late one night" he said,
when opposite st. Pauls he saw an
intoxicated man trying to ascertain the
time on the big clock there. Just then
it began to strike and slowly tOlled out
-. The man listened, looked hard at
the clock and said: 'Confound you, why

The bishop heartily joined in the
laughter lich followed and took the
hint contained in the story.
