covered His Mistake.
An Irish officer who had served In
Malta was one day at a public dinner.
Expatiating on the luxurious living at
Malta, he spoke particularly OF the ex.
relient quality OF the anchovies. He
had never seen any like them any
where else. He told OF a grove OF
them which he had seen growing In
the governors garden upon the rs.
piannde.
A gentleman present disputed the
statement that anchovies grew on
trees. The Irishman reafiirmed It
most emphatically. The wine was
flowing and the lie passed. A chal.
ienge was given and accepted.
On the following day the parties
met, attended by their seconds. At
the first fire the Irishman's shot took
effect in his opponents thigh, the ball
hitting the bone and causing such a
shock that the latter fell upon his
back and In such pain that he kicked
his heels vigorously.
