One day, in attending to applications for
situations on the police force, one of the
commissioners, it was supposed, was about
to invest Patrick Murphy with a shield,
when some of his Irish competitors outside
the railing cried out, ':Are We goin' to pint
Pat, yer honorl He can't write his name,
yer honor" 81 am only receiving applica-
tiOns to day; in fortnight we make appoint |
ments," said the commissioner. And Pat |
was told to call on that day two weeks. The |
friend through whose influence Pat had been |
induced to apply said to him, as they came |
away from the hall, Now, Pat. go home;
and every night DO you get a big piece OF
paper and good stout pen, and keep writ
ing your name. I'll set the copy for
you" Pat did as directed, and every
night for fortnight was seen moving

But Pat did write; he had recorded his
lame in a bold round hand. "That'll do"
