DR.. HAt-s'S GENTLE FUN.
Played by the Minister Whe
Has Deen Chosen Senate Chaplain.

Joke Played by the Minister Whs
Has Been Chosen Senate Chaplain.
The following anecdote is related
about DR.. Edward Everett Hale, the
famous Unitarian minister Of Boston,
who has accepted the appointment OF
chaplain to the United States senate:
Several ministers a few years ago
who were assembled at their weekly
meeting place in Chicago were enter
tanning each other with jokes and sto-
ries OH the brethren Of the cloth. says
the Chicago Chronicle. Each preacher
had a yarn or two. and no denomina.
ton escaped a harmless and good hui
mOred shaft OF 'witticism. Many of
the tales turned on some peculiar char
acteristic of the particular church at
which it was leveled. which therefore
made the points doubly enjoyable to
the ministers Of the other spcts.
II heard u little story the Other day"
said the pastor Of a; we'll ki.,v.l south
side church. II u~luers.;.i.S Tie incl
dent occurred some time ago, but for
some reason or other it seems it did
not get out-at least not out west. The
story concerns two eminent church
men, one Of the Unitarian and the 9TH
er of the Episcopal church-Edward
Everett Hale and Bishop Huntington
Of New York respectively. believe
at IL time Bishop Huntington was a
member of the Unitarian church. but
afterward changed over to the Episco-
palian flock. Bishop Huntington and
DR.. Hale were old friends. and l be-
teve they continued such after the
conversion of the bishop. This story
would certainly indicate as much any
way:
"You know the ~Episcopalians have a
lot of saints. assigned to the various
days in the. year. When an Episco.
palian minister writes a letter on any
day for which there is a saint lie al
ways writes the name of the saint at
the close of the letter instead Of the
date. Bishop Huntington learned all
Of these things quickly and began to
practice them at once. The first time
he had occasion to write to his old
friend DR.. Hale after joining the church
he used the regulation method or clos
ing his letter, placing st. Michael's day
after his signature. A reply from the
doctor anne and after his name he
had written in a full, round hand

Thurston was delivering an address on

The calls for Senator Hanna were so
insistent that he arose and told the
Carabaos that he was too tired to talk.
'If l had known .Thurston was going
to do such a stupid thing as this" he
remarked, ~ should have remained in
my room and sawed wood" J.
Now, Wood is the question uppermost

| Roars of explosive laughter filled the
room, and the Carabaos arose as one
man and shouted:
you're saving Wood all right. SEN
ator! How soon will the saw cut
through"
Senator Hanna looked dazed for q

sardonically. and Senator Foraker, who

TWAIN's PARTING JOKE
Mark Tells Of His Legal Trou-

SAYS HE'S TOO PURE, TOO INNOCENT

Humorist C~onfesses He Cannot Fool
Anybody and Tells of His Experi-

For Advice. 4"
Mark Twain, the great humorist, has
had the good fortune to be ableto bring
all his books under the control of n
publishing Arm. The contract was con-
cluded just before he recently sailed
for Italy for the benefit of his wife's
health. In a farewell interview he
said, in speaking Of the new arrange
ment: ~
"For three or four weeks now l
have been bothering over this contract.

able to make out whether I was. the
party of the first part, the party of the
second part or any party at all.
Throughout all these four weeks work
my respect for the Divine Creator has
grown week by week. because, while
it took us a month to create a contract,
he created the world in only six days.
II have found this dealing with law
yers an expensive undertaking. 1t has
cost me four umbrellas already, to say
nothing of the onslaught upon my
morals. l have done nothing but buy
umbrellas and leave them in my law
yer's office. The other day l stopped
at one of the umbrella counters in a
big downtown office building. where
there were three piles OF umbrellas.

pile 81, and the third pile was marked

has become honest enough to buy his
