postmaster, when he is in that mood
Here is his latest:
Murphy was a wee bit Of a man
that stood three and a half feet in his
silk hat. Hennissey was the bulk of
ten of him, being six feet and half in
his stockings; barring the lack of the
stockings, owing to the hard times
and a disinclination to the wearing of
them. But for every inch of Muir
phys figure there was a foot Of wit,
and he put the joke or Hennissey
every minute in the day, much to the
madness Of Hennissey, who was a
sombre man not given to the fun Of
things.
One day Murphy aud Hennessey
were a-working on the rocks, a-pound-
ing in the blast with a crowbar, when
the devil reached up with his flaming
teeth and bit off the dynamite stick,
and away went Murphy and Hennis-
sey, still a-hold of the crowbar, sail
ing up and up until the clouds dropped
out of sight and the pearly gates
showed into view.
Presently, there being no higher to
60, Murphy and Hennissey, still hold
in on to the crowbar, beSan to down
and down, and then Hennissey split
his jaws and gave forth laughter.
"What' re laughing att growled
Murphy. Though we're having a
high time, the situation strikes me as
serious
"Laughin at, you spalpeen,' says
Hennissey, with a smile SO broad that
his ears were met. ''It's the joke
I have on you at last, me boy"

Mr.. Pugh was born In Bridgeton and

civil war began he enlisted, made a good
soldier. returned home with honors and
