Show Bishop McFaul's Wit. Apropos of Bishop AIcFaul's readiness of repartee, the Trenton Sunday Advertiser Adver-tiser tells the following: The Right Reverend Bishop of Trenton Tren-ton can tell a good story or turn the point of somebody else's story equally well. In the course of a speech at the Columbus celebration in the opera house Tuesday night. Rev. James A. Reynolds of Red Bank told several comic tales. One of them referred to two Irish quarrymen. Alike and Pat, who, owing to the premature firing of a blast, were lifted high in the air. Alike being subsequently sent to the hospital for repairs and his companion being picked up member by member by the coroner who looked after his corps.;. When the Irishman at the hospital hos-pital recovered his senses sufficiently to talk, his wife asked, "Alike, dear, when you were up in the air, were you cool, calm and collected?" "I was cool and calm enough. Alary," was his reply, "but sure it was Pat that was collected." Father Reynolds closed his speech by presenting a new high-power Aler-cer Aler-cer automobile to the bishop. Bishop McFaul accepted the splendid splen-did gift from his friends gracefully, but with a twinkle in his eye, declared that while he might always be cool and calm no matter how fast 'the ear went, he hoped that his friends would never find it necessary to have him collected. The j sally brought down the house. |
