Fact Made Him Success as Collection
Supervisor.

Bishop Talbot, the Cowboy Bishop,
who has recently told Of his strange
life as bishop among the cowboys and
miners Of early Wyoming and Idaho,
had many an amusing experience and
made hosts OF devoted friends.
An incident at the close Of one OF
his meetings In the dance hall OF
mining town, is thus described
Another hymn was given out and
l was about to dismiss the congrega-
ton with my blessing, when Col.
Burns. my landlord, stepped forward,
and in a low but distinct voice said:
Bishop, haven't you forgot some
thing?'
What do you mean? said |.
"'Why, the hat replied the col
onel.s 1t won't do to forget the hat,
for yesterday was pay day. and these
boys have lot of money. and If you
don't get 1t the saloons will, and 1t is
much better for you to have it,
"'Very good said. Have you any
suggestions, colonel?'
Only this, bishop: l wish you
would give us about FIVE hymns. /
want plenty Of time. do not want
to be crowded The boys are little
slow on collections.
Il stepped over to the organ, and we
started In. The colonel presented the
hat to the man Immediately on my
left. He was sitting on the edge Of the
platform. He brought out silver dol
lar, called a Wheel in the language
Of the camp. The second and third
men to whom the hat was passed fol-
lowed the example of the first, each
giving a dollar, but the fourth man
seemed nervous, and hesitated while
he fumbled in his pocket. After CON
siderable delay he brought out quar-
ter.
80, put that back. Come, now, Bill,
the bishop is not after small game to-
day. White chips don't go here. He
wants wheel out of you. Hurry up
"The hymns were being rapidly
used up. and at last the colonel re-
turned to the platform with the hat.
His face beamed with satisfaction.
After the service asked him why it
took him so long.
80, he replied. bishop, you see, /
charge up every feller accordin' to his
pile. know these boys. Most on
'em grub with me. l made one feller
cough up a ten dollar gold piece, and
you will find good many fives in the
hat
II need not say that the collection
was a generous one"

The idea that some people have Of

To Keep Flowers Fresh.

'Tf you want to bring flowers in
town from the country" said the girl
who goes out occasionally, don't
bring them in your hand If It takes
you two hours to come ia hey will
never revive, no matter low much
water you put on them after you set
here. Take pasteboard shoe box,
lay wet paper in it. put the flowers in,
sprinkle them well, and put another
layer of paper over them. Just bring
them home with you and they'll keep
fresh and sweet in your fat or studio
for the longest kind of a time"

The LocksmIth,s Chance.

On the park bench sat two lovers.
The passing locksmith dropped his
kit and laughed long and uproariously.

McCARTHY'S ELECTION BILL.
The Governors veto of Senate Bill
13, McCarthy's straight ballot bill, was
considered. Pail moved that the veto
be sustained, but Sheldon asked that
action be held over until today.
Long objected. If the House intend
ed to sustain the veto, let them do 1T
now, not hold back because the SEN
ate has some House measures yet to
deal with. He moved to sustain the
Governor.
Quinn didn't want to hold a club
over the Senate but he wanted the
vote deferred until he could look into
the bill and see if there were any
points in it which clashed with the
County Act.
The Speaker deprecated any such
talk as that any bill was being held
as a club for the Senate.
The matter went over until today
and House Bill 1879 also went over.
The House then took a recess to
wait for some possible communications
from the Senate.

up for third reading. Rice explained
that under the former bill the loss OF
revenue to the Territory would be
$4,000 0 and the idea of the Senate was
to pass this bill and then override the
veto on the other to force the Gov

that the Senate had little grould to
stand on in the matter.
