BISHOP ROWE TELLS A
GOOD ONE ON HIMSELF
Bishop Rowe, who visited in An
chorage recently, told a good story on
himself. The bishop said, while
coming over the trail to Nome on one
of his trips that he was forced to put
up for the night with his dog team at
the cabin of a couple of prospectors.
After they had helped him put up the
dogs for the night they adjourned to
the cabin.
One of the prospectors, not know
ing who the bishop was, and also not
knowing that the clergy wear their
collars buttoned at the back, said:
“Well, partner, better join us in a lit
tle drink.”
Bishop Rowe thanked him, and said,
“No, thank you, I don’t drink.” So
the oldtimers took a little liquid re
freshment without him.
Just before the beans were ready to
serve the bishop was asked again to
have a little nip, with the same reply
as previously
“Where do you get that stuff?” one
of the prospectors said. “Why, you’re
so drunk now you don’t even know
you have your collar on back end to.”
