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

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.” MEET US AT CaKL.
