WHY HE WAS SAFE.
A bishop of the Protestant Episcopal
Church was once traveling through the
Navajo country with an Indian guide.
When night came on, the bishop, some
what concerned about the safety of his
watch and certain other, valuables in
his possession, asked his companion as
to the best way of concealing these
things. The Indian said that there was
no need for the slightest anxiety
because there was not another white
man within a hundered miles off.
