Chnir of the Giant Idris.

One Of the mountain peaks of north

like an immense couch. According to

in the Chair Of Idris will On the follow

Bishop Clark and the Polite Stranger.


There was no limil to the humorous
situation for which the Right Rev.
Thomas l.. Clark, bishop of Rhode
Island. was responsible. Some years
ago while attending lecture in Bos-
ton he observed n 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-
ly on the lecturer and affecting uncon.
sciousness 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, Il lldicrouI
and embarrassing scene. during all Of
which Bishop Clark was profoundly In
tcrestcd in the lecture
At last the man with the umbrella
asked. rather Indignantly. Didn't you
tell me to punch that person with my
umbrclla?"
Yes"
"Snd what did you want?"
II wanted to see whether you would
punch him or not."-Boston Herald.

the neighborhood who sleeps in schooihousas at night by
a roaring fire that he builds while by day ne walks un-

meals that Inc women deal out to him through fear. He
talks little, bUt he did tell John Ramey that his name
was Ed. He is well dressed, Of medium heighth, light
red n~ustache, and slightly bald headed. His appetite Ia
good. One lady was f~earfully scared when She discov-
