an unexpected event to most of our

A Yankee is considered the sharp
est of the human family, and only the
IrishmaD can get the better of him.
The wit of the latter is more forclble
and more unique and spontaneous
than the formers plainess and direct
ness of speech. AS an example an
Irishman once took a Yankee friend
to church with him on Christmas
day. The music was magnificent and
the decorations gorgeous. On their
way out of church the Irishman asked
the Yankee how he liked the service.
ssWhy, it just beats the devil! = repli-
