BISHOP winners WIT.
Even in the Presence of Death Prelate
Had His Joke.


From Biograph of Richard Hooker Will
mer.
A disconsolate widower had erected over
the grave of his recently deceased wife
a handsome stone on which was the in
scription: "The light of mine eyes IS
gone from me-" Very shortly after he
was comforted by another wife, and some
one asked the bishop If he did not think
that an inscription SO glaringly inappro-
Iriate should be chiseled off.
.'Oh, no." responded the bishop: the in
scription is not at all inappropriate 1t Is
only incomplete. 1t needs but the addl-
tion of another line. But l have struck
another match"
A young clergyman after preaching on
1.-The Wrath of the Lamb with more
vigor than virtue. was undergoing reproof
from the bishop, when clerical bystand-
er attempted to soften judgment by the
suggestion that 1.-The Scriptures tell us
that there is wrath of the lamb and
that 1t is very real wrath"
Wrath of the Lamb, Capers?" ejaculat-
ed the bishop with unaltered visage;
wrath of the lamb? Yes. the Scripture
does tell us of the wrath Of the lamb, bit
il is the wrath of the lamb-of the lamb.
Capers; while here is a man who is but
ting like a billy goati'
During a visit to England polite hosts
made so many complimentary illusions
to certain prominent incidents of Ameri-
can history that the good bishop finally
broke out with the impatient remark:
II am SO tired hearing about the landing
of the Pilgrim Fathers on Plymouth
Rock that heartily wish Plymouth Rock
Lad landed on the Pilgrim Fathers"
Almost his last words were in reply to
a question one of his sons put to him.
Bending over his bed he said: Father
DO you feel as if you were passing away?'
faint smile played about his (the
bjshop's) lips and he answered. IT have

assistant librarian where the mantel was.
The young woman did not know. The
student learned from c. A Nelson, into

i first arrived at Columbia, that it had
been removed several days ago without
his knowledge and that he could throw
no light on the matter. Dean Goethe of

Steady Upward Movement of Trade

The returns covering eight months
of the calendar year show that i'm
ports and exports are both increasing.
The balance remains In our favor. In
the eight months of this year the ex-
cess of exports over imports was $751;
270009, an increase of S196,706, TIA
over the first eight months of 1907.
The foreign traffic is lighter this year,
but it is slowly increasing in both
directions, and the balance of trade
runs heavily in our favor.
The receipts in the federal treasury
are also increasing and they promise
to outrun those of last Septem per
There are fewer idle cars, although
the crops of the year have not yet be-
gun to be moved in large volume.
The crops are all fairly good. A really
poor crop has not been reported, while
the hay crop Is the largest in the MS
tory Of American agriculture. The
crops of the year will be in full tide
of marketing about December l, and
some believe there will not then be
an idle freight car. The farmers Will
be happy and prosperous, and the
farmers of the south will be in the
procession if they can secure ten cents
for their cotton. Slow marketing of
the crop will carry the home price to
ten cents, and that perhaps will be
satisfactory to the majority of pro-
ducers.
