Only a Slight Error.

There 1b a certain fashionable chib in Washington where the waiters are all negroes of the highest type, genuine, old-fashioned, bo wand-scrape darkies, excellent servitors and polite to a degree. Not long ago a distinguished bishop of the Episcopal church dined at ♦Ms club. The head waiter bowed the bishop and his host to their places. "This way, Admiral," said he. "Take this table by the window." "I am not an admiral," said the bishop, smiling. "Excuse me, sir; my mistake," the darky hastened to add. "I might have known all the time you was a military man. You like this table, colonel?” "I am not a colonel,” said the bishop, smiling more broadly. "I am a bishop." be sure, sly! .To be sure!" exclaimed the negro. "Very sorry tor my mistake, sir. I got them titles of Admiral and Colonel wrong, sir, but I knowed I was all right on the main Issue. I knowed as soon as I saw you that you was one of the face cards of your profession, sir."
