Show Be Would Do. Aood story is -told on Bishop Graf-, ton, of the diocese of Fond du Lac. One of his first visitations was at Wanpun, where there has been much church dissension dis-sension in the past, and while there he was the guest of Mrs. Webster. After the prelate retired he was annoyed by a mouse in the room.' He did not lie awake and wonder what could be done to abate it. ' lie quietly arose, took the' remains of a lunch which he had been enjoying, placed it on top of a glass in the center of a wash bowl, filled tbe bowl half full of water, leaned a photograph from tbe table to the edge of the bowl, so as to give the mouse a runway, then calmly went back to bed. In a few moments he heard the pattering of the mouse's feet on the photograph, a splash, a few struggles strug-gles and all was quiet. Then the worthy bishop turned over and slept tbe sleep of the just. As Mrs. Webster remarked the next morning: "Bishop Grafton will find no difficulty in governing the diocese if he can so easily handle a mouse." Appleton Post. |
