An Irishman's Last Request.
IN l....... IL


~ heard story on an lrishman the other
day which / think is new" said friend at the
club. "This Irishman was i'm the habit Of go
ing home drunk every night of his life and
beating his poor wife Biddy in the good old
fashion. He didn't lick her because be disliked
her or wanted to punish her, but just because
he thought 1t the proper thing to do. Finally,
however, the patient woman could stand it no
longer and appealed TO the priest. The reyeT
end father went to her home that evening and
waited for Pat. He came. drunk as usual, and
the good priest took him in hand.
"'Pat" says he you're drunk
Yis, your riverince, says Pat, Pm feelin'
purity good
"'Well, how long is this goin' to continue,
I'd like to known
"'Jist as long as l kin git dhrop of the
creatur.' says Pat. l can't stop dhrinkin''
Now, see here, Pat says the good father,
I'll tell you what You'll stop this right here
tonight If you ever get drunk again I'll
turn ye into rat-d'ye mind that? If / don't
see ye I'll know about it jist the same whether
ye git drunk or not, and if ye do get drunk,
into rat ye go. Now remember that-theres s
good man.
"The priest went away and Pat was docile
that night; but the next night when he came
home and kicked open the door one glance
showed Biddy that he was loaded to the hat.
She gagged his jag at once and saw that he
was in fighting trim, so she lodged behind the
table in an attitude of defense.
"' Don't be afraid, darlin'.' said Pat, in a
subdued key, as he steadied himself before
dropping into chair; I'm not going to bate
you this night. I'm not going to lay the weight
of me finger on ye want ye to be kind to
me tonight, darlin', and to remember, if ye
kin, the days when we was swatehearts, and
when | was always kind to ye and ye loved me.
Yc know his riverince was here last night, and
he t0uld me if / liver got drunk again he'd
turn me into a rat. I'm dhrunk this mint,
darlin'. The praste didn't sec me, but he knows
I'm drunk, and this night into a rat go.

me, and when ye see me gittin' little. and the
