 WOULD DO HENRY MUCH GOOD
Wise Wife Appreciated the Bishops Reply 10 Her Too Serious
 Young Husband.

At the opening of large relig- ious meeting in Iowa few years ago a missionary bishop from a neigh boring state took the usual steps toward putting his audience in good humor by paying some compliments to the state in which they were as- sembled. He praised the products of Iowa one by one, and congratu- lated the people on living in so rich a land. .-
 When his speech was ended sol emn young clergyman rose and said that he ventured to call the bishops attention to one serious omission from the list of Iowa products, namely-eggs. The bishop, abun- dantly endowed with humor, prompt ly replied, to the delight of the as- sembly:
 q am extremely glad to learn that the hens of Iowa have so con- petent a young rooster to crow for them"
 Now, besides his humor, the bish- up had a tender heart, and could not help fearing that his impulsive re- tort might have wounded the young man-to say nothing of the young mans wife. When he met her at a reception after the meeting his fears were happily dispelled.
 q want to thank you," she said, "for your speech-especially for your answer to my husband. It will do Henry great deal of good"
