in his life and that he fully demonstra
ted that he had been joked with Ion,
enough by the old party. The Cresset'
weak attempt at evasion reminds us o
a story we 1--we heard about an Irish
man. lie was working with a gam
that always managed TO get laugh OF

natured he stood it all until one day

bernian's face. Pat threw down hi
shovel and said: boys can shtand
joke, but this amt no joke" n
Dresset Is not like the freshman, i
wipes its face and calls it joke.
