At a large dinner given in New York, Mrs. Margaret Bottome, for a long time head of the King's Daughters Circle, sat beside a German professor of science. In the course of conversation, Mrs. Bottome said quite naturally for her:

"The Bible says so and so."

"The Bible, " remarked the professor. "You don't believe the Bible!"

"Yes, indeed, I believe it," replied Mrs. Bottome.

"Why, I didn't suppose that any intelligent person to-day believed the Bible!"

"Oh, yes," Mrs. Bottome said, "I believe it all. I know the Author."
