A Methodist bishop was recently
a guest at the house of a friend
who had two charming daughters.
One morning the bishop, accompa

pear friendly, called out:
"Ketohin’ many, pard?”
The bishop, drawing himself at
his full height, replied: "Brother,
I am a fisher of men.
; "You’ve got the right kind of
| bait, all right,’’ was the fisherman’s
! rejoinder.
WHY HE QUIT.
There was a time when Georgia
furnished to the platform some of
the ablest men of the country.
In there different spheres, Sam
Jones, John B. Gordon, Bill Arp,
Tom Watson, Sam Small and Tem
ple Graves stood alone. The first
three died, Sam Small went to the
northwest, (! raves to New York and
Watson quit.
When all of this happened, no
man of national prominence was
left to talk for Georgia. We were
all building high hopes on Watson,
but he disappointed us.
Why lie quit the field, no one ex
cept himself knew, lie has finally
let the secret out- In a recent
issue id - the Jeffersonian, he told the
reason as follows:
“To gratify the morbid ( uriosity
of my countless friends, and the
inquiring minds of my few and
scattering foes, 1 will give' away the*
secret of my retirement from tbe
lecture platform.
"Tbe speech of introduction was
what did the 1 business. It had got
to be a nightmare, and intolerable
nuisance, which was sapping the'
foundations of my character, injur
ing the amiabillity of my disposi
tion. prematurely plowing trenches
in my pleasing countenance, and
rapidly turning my red hair gray.
"But still I persevered, and by
displaying a humility which I
didn’t feel and gently repelling the
chaplets of extravagant eulogy offer
e<l my by the introducer, got to
where I could talk off the disastrous
effect of the introductian in about
fifteen minutes.
"What finally broke the camel’s
back nad made the worm turn, and
ihe galled jade wince, and kick out
of harness, was the putting on of a
new man —the fellow who intro*
doucs the introducer.
"Where this amazingly stupid
practice first originated, God only
knows
“But it has become a fixed in
stitution —like sore eyes, iced tea,
pink lemonade, claw-hammer coats
and ludicrous feminine headgear to
the fashion, or fleeing the field.
"After two or three nights and
days of the agony, I Hed.
"Have never regretted it-
Would rather make a living mend
ing umbrellas, or peddling shares
of stock in a Percheron horse, than
to go hack to the lecture field.
"Still if they’d promise to throw
the introducer into the calaboose
while I’m in town, and would agree
to put the introducer of the intro
ducer in the chaingang before my
arrival, !'<l be open to propositions
again.”
