Discretion Prevailed.

ANa~NNNheN FNNNNfNNe
Before the beginning of his ministry,
the Right Rev. Leonidas Polk. bishop
Louisiana, had been an experienced
and trained soldier a graduate OF the
military academy at West Point, class
OF I27. He was a physical giant, and
always in good condition, because he
never neglected the athletic duties
which are necessary for the continu-
ance Of physical superiority.
While travelling over his diocese he
was obliged. on one occasion, to stop
at a tavern near the Mississippi river.
The proprietor told him that all OF the
beds had been engaged for steamboat
men who would arrive that night. The
bishop replied that he would sleep un-
IN they came, and was soon snoring
away tor dear life Several hours had
elapsed when he was awakened, and
out Of the darkness came ...ese words.
Il say stranger, this is my bunk. You
must get out Of II OF hght."
The soldierbghop was instantly
awake aud alert. and ne replied: Be
fore you strike in the darG. feel OF my
arm: and now feel of my shoulder.
and now feel OF my chest"
The newcomer did as he was re-
quested, aud then said. as he walked
away: rather think. stranger, that
you can have this bed."--Los Angeles
Times.

THE CHOATES.

Among those who have done no- table things with an automobile are Mir and Mrs Joseph H. Choate. Feel ing in need of little excitement re- gently and Mrs Choate, heinz in the same mood, Mir Choate decided to try the ascent of Mount Greylock. the highest peak in Massachusetts, stu ated near the Vermont line. The mountain is $500 feet high and a hill that is by no means easy for modern cars to negotiate. It is also danger ous enough to exhlarate any motor ist except those who are fond of speeding on lower Broadway during the busy hours of the day.
 Up and still upward sped Mir and Mrs Choate and as they neared Il precipice. Mrs Choate was startled by the absolute silence of her husband Not funny thing had he said for nearly five minutes and she began to fear that his bump of humor had been disconnected from the other parts of his grain. And Mir Choate continued in his remarkable condition until they were almost at the foot of the moun- tain. when he suddenly broke forth. like the morning sun. and began to tell jokes at the same time, feat that few men have attempted
 When he got back to his hotel Mir Choate said the only thing lacking in the scenery was q first-class banquet.
