How to get a Wen Dug.

An Irishman took O contract to
dig d public well. When he had
dug about twenty feet down, he
came one morning and found
it caved in nearly flled to the
top. Pat looked cautiously around,
and saw that nobody was near;
then took of his hat and coat, hung
them on the windlass, crawled in
to some bushes and waited events.
In a short time the citizens disoov-
cred that the well had eaved in,
and seeing Pats hat and coat on
the windlass, they supposed he
was at the bottom of the well, and
Just as the eager citizens had reach
"a the bottom, and pondering
where the body was, Pat came ont
81 the bushes, and good paturedly
thanked them for relieving him 81
j sorry Job. Some 81 the tired
diggers were disguised; but the
