Labert St. Clair.

Daniel C. Roper. who used to be
Commissioner of Internal Revenue
spins a yarn about a man down in
Kentucky who closely resembled a
certain dignified preacher and who
constantly passed himself off as the
reverend.
One day, from far up in the
mountains, a delegation came down
to the preachers town to induce
him to preach a dedicatory sermon
at their new church. Meeting the
preachers double on a street, they
started negotiations. Quickly ascer-
tanning that a mistake had been
made. the preachers double entered
Into lively discussion of the pro-
posed sermon, declaring that while
he was most anxious to oblige, he
would have to have 500 for ap-
pearing. The committee conferred
at great length and finally said:
Now. doctor, We are very poor
people up in our parish and while
We have no doubt that any sermon
which you would deliver would be
worth 500, we have wondered II
you could not preach a sermon for
$50"
"Oh, of course / could preach one
for $50" the preachers double said,
but I'd preach a blankety, blank
ETY.. blank sight better. one for $40"
The committee swooned, and the
Joker had an awful time explaining
that he was not the preacher at all
but just a man who looked like
him.
