Judge: "No? Well, what have you read?"
Applicant: "Oi have some red hair on the back of me neck, your honor."
THE ELDER'S NEED
Bishop Potter tells of an incident that occurred at a negro camp-meeting. The presiding elder had a voice like a fog-horn and used it to the full in exhortation.
"Lord," he prayed, "give us power! Give us, Lord, power! We want power, oh, Lord! Power is what we want--more power! Give us power we beseech Thee."
"Elder," came a voice from the seats, "yo' is shuh wrong. 'Tain't power what yo' need, but idees."
THE NUMBER INCOMPLETE
Perhaps he invented the story, but a well-known photographer tells this for a fact. A woman entered his studio.
"Are you the photographer?"
"Yes, madam."
