ALWAYS in the Way.

Recently a country doctor in the
north of Ireland, bachelor, who was
locally noted for his brusqueness and
Feasibility, was driving along nor
row lane, or "boreen,' when his pas
sage was effectually barred by an old
woman, who was returning from the
bog leading an ass whose panniers
were filled with peats. The woman
led the ass to the side of the lane as
quickly as she could, but not quickly
enough to please the short-tempered
doctor 'Faugh!" he exclaimed, with
a snort of disgust. Women and asses
are always in the way" I'm glad We
have the manners to put yourself
last" said the old woman, calmly.
The doctor drove on without another
word

Aunt Prue's mice.
That night, when all the children were in
