TOOK BISHOP AT HIS WORD
Footman May Have Been Consider
ably Astonlshed But He Was
There to obey Orders.

Bishop Brindle, the well-known En-
Slish clergyman, sometimes tells this
story against himself. Dining at Sir
Evelyn Woods he narrated the old
story OF the small boy who, going to
a party, was instructed to refuse cake,
as he had not been very we'll. But
suppose they ask me again, mummy ?"
he said. "Oh, you must still say, No.
thank you" "And IL they ask me
again!" oh, they wouldn't be 50
rude as to do that. Now, It is time
you were off," The small boy re-
turned home In tears. Asked what
had happened, he replied: well,
mummy, they asked me to have cake,
and said, No thank you; and they
asked me again. and / said, No, thank
you; and then they asked me again
and said just like daddy says, Take
the dam thing away"
At that moment a passing footman
caught the bishops last words, and
with a start swooped down on his
haIfinished plate, and bore it away
