   So was the case o’ courche, them bein’ sittin so near other, the arch-bishop, an’the bishop, stharted to talk between themselves too.
   An sez the Bishop to the archbishop , “Im walkin through all that time I,ve never been able to know the differ between a good Catholic, an’ a good Protestant. They are all equally good mannered, an’ neither ever seems to commit any crimes. Generally speaking “he sez”
   I think there is no differ.
   The Archibishop lishtented attentively until he had finished an’ then he cooly remarked “Well you wont be twenty minutes in the nexht world until you know quite well”
   The Bishop never said a word, nor the whole evenins while”
