On the eve of st. Patrick's day Bir-
mingham woman, thinking the supply
of shamrock might give out, took the
precaution to buy large quantity.
She carefully placed the plant in a
small dish, with plenty of water in.
and let it remain on the table in the
sitting room. Somehow it was late
before the husband returned home that
night, in fact it was midnight when
the latchkey was heard at work Per-
haps it was business worry, but his
footsteps sounded somewhat irregular,
a trifle unsteady, as 1t were, but the
wife heard him go into the sitting
room, where he remained some time.
Eventually he silently crawled up to
bed. Next morning, what was the
wife's surprise u see nothing but the
roots of the shamrock left in the dish.
Hurrying up to her still sleeping
spouse, she aroused him, and asked
him what he had done with it.. Sham
