"THE HUGLIEST CHAP IN ENGLAND"
The parson-father of a certain bishop was, like several other members of the same family, quite prodigiously ugly. One day, as he sat in an omnibus, he was annoyed by the persistent staring of a man, who presently unburdened himself as follows: “Yon’ra a parson, ain’t youT" “Well, yea; that is so.” “ Look ’ere, parson; would you -mind cornin’ ’ome with me to see my wife?” Imagining the wife was sick and needing assistance, the clergyman, at great inconvenience to himself, went with the man. On arriving at the house the man shouted to his wife tu come downstairs, and, pointing to the astonished parson, said, with a grin of delight; “Look ’e ’ere, Ssirry. Yer said this momin’ as I wur the hngliest chap in England. Now, just yer look at this bloke." —‘Liverpool Post’ !
