NOT LIKE BISHOP SHE KNEW
Little One Compared Church Dignl- tary with His Prototype of the
 Chess Board.

A certain bishop, staying at a country house during an episcopal visit to the neighborhood, noticed that he was closely observed by a little maiden of the household, who kept a severely attentive eye upon him, apron and gaiters and all, until she found quiet opportunity to in- quire of him:
 Are you really bishop?"
 "Yes, of course, l am-really," answered the amused prelate.
 'FWell, I don't believe it." re- turned the critical and candid eight-year-old daughter of his chess playing host, "cos I've watched you ever since you came, and your head isn't split down the middle and you don't walk cornerways. ."-Fry's Magazine.
