Might Be Worth It.

There was a certain bishop who had a pleasant habit of chatting with anybody he might meet during his country walks. One day he came across a lad who was looking after some pigs by the roadside, and the bishop paused to ask him what he was doing, that being his usual way of opening a conversation. •Molndin* zwoine," the lad replied stolidly. The bishop nodded thoughtfully. "Ah, is that se?" he continued. "And how much do you earn a week?" " Two shillin’," was the reply. "Only two shillings?" remarked the bishop. Then he continued pleasantly, *% too, am a shepherd, but I get more than two shillings." The lad looked at him suspiciously for a minute; then he said slowly: "Mebbe you gets more swoine nor mo to moind."
