The Ottawa free trader. [volume] (Ottawa, Ill.) 1843-1916, 1854-09-16

\ TovGu MHAi~--A freshly imported Pat
lander, who had engaged himself as wa ter
at one of the hotels, was ordered by one Of
the guests to bring him a napkin, Now
this was an article that Pat had never heard
of in all his life, and to save his soul from
purgatory he could not tell what the gentle
man meant. His Irish blood forbade him
displaying his ignorance, so he went oil as t
TO comply with the order Presently u
thought struck him, and he returned to the
gentleman, saying
"Faix, sir, and will yc be pleased to take
something elscthc napkins be all ate up"
