MANN & RS

Bishop Manning was riding on
SUBWAY train one day when a
noisy passenger, who appeared
tired and exceedingly disgrunted,
insulted several passengers who
got III his way.
Everyone bore the rudeneSs with
what tolerance they could muster,
but when the man rose TO leave,
Bishop Manning remarked, My
friend, you left something here"
The troublesome passenger turn
cd, looked at his seat, then de-
manded, What did / leave ?"
"a very bad impression" the
Bishop replied.
The man frowned, then broke
into a sheepish grin, He had the
grace to answer, I'm sorry. -
