PENNSYLVANIA, is a good story teller,
and most Of his yarns are on him.
self. One Of his latest he has re-
counted at length in his, new book,
MY People of the Plains" 1t seems
that the Bishop went into a certain
town in his diocese and was seated
at dinner at the hotel" A man in
the far corner of the room called out,
Bishop, come here and eat with a
feller!" AS the Bishop did not see
it exactly in that light and as the man
had apparently been imbibing e
freely he refused, whereupon his
neighbor came over to him and said:
well, then, Bishop, if you won't eat
with me I'll eat with you" During
the course of the meal he said:
Bishop, are you going to talk to
the boys here tonight" DR.. Talbot
told him that that vas the object of
his coming. WELL" he added, II am
very glad, for God knows, these fell
lers here need it. You see, Bishop,
the trouble with the boys here Is that
they drink too much
He was obviously the last person
to complain of that weakness on the
part of his brethren, so the Bishop
suggested: "Well, my friend, I am
sorry to hear that, but, if you will
pardon ne, it seems to me that you
are suffering from that same trouble
yourself now"
you are right, Bishop, you are
right, but when the Bishop comes to
