A Joke on the President

A remark at the close of one of the other epeaker's rernarks caused the bishop to jump to his feet and ask that he be allowed to teil a story.

   "The other day," he said. "a man called on the president and assured him that he was making a big hit with the people. "Why," said the man, "your name will go down in history wlth that of Washington." "Indeed." replied the president. "Which Washington"- George Washington or Booker T.?"
