men this morning. Accordingly, at o'clock.

Their petition was for a passport to

be in their home province as in any

nt.hnn c1nrk md the Polite strnnger

There was no limit to the humorous
situation for which the Right Rev.
Thomas L. Clark, bishop of Rhode
Island, was responsible. Some years
ago while attending a lecture in Bos-
ton he observed a man sitting three
seats in front whom he thought he
knew He requested the person sitting
next to him to punch the other in
dividual with his umbrella.
The polite stranger did SO and, the
disturbed person turning his head a
little, Bishop Clark discovered his mis-
take. 1t was not the person he sup
posed. Fixing his attention steadfast-
~ on the lecturer and affecting uncon-
seriousness of the whole affair he left
the man with the umbrella to settle
with the other for the disturbance, and
this man being wholly without an ex-
cuse, there was, of course, a ludicrous
and embarrassing scene, during all of
which Bishop Clark was profoundly in
terested in the lecture.
At last the man with the umbrella
asked rather Indignantly Didn't you
tell me to punch that person with my
umbrelaY'
yes"
And what did you want?'
"I wanted to see whether you would
punch him or not."-Boston Herald.
