a Joke Pat Couldn't Stand.

At recent cornerstone laying in q
provincial town, says The Scotsman,
the stone was swinging in the grasp
of powerful crane above the hole
left for it to fit in. Down in the hole
an Irisbman was fussing about with
bed of mortar. Suddenly a portion
of the tackle slipped, and down came
the stone with run. It lit on the
Irisbman's back, and everybody ex-
pected to see him fattened out as
thin as paper when the stone was
lifted half O minute later.
No sooner was the stone clear of
the hole, though, than the man
sprang out like jack-in-the- box. He
was covered in mortar from head to
foot, and was coughing, sneeziug and
splitting, to get it out of his bose and
month. As soon as he could speak
he addressed the men managing the
crane:
"Here, now! Here, now!" yelled
he. "Oi can stand joke as we'll as
any man, but any of yees can have
me job after thot."
And he put on his coat and went
away, under the impression that the
highly respectable assemblage had
played joke upon him.
