Wit NOT FORCED
Dublin Car Driver Famed for
Power of Repartee.
Probably Able to Boast, II He Would,
That He Never Found Him
self at Loss.

Pat Dickinson Is a well-known char.
acter in Dublin, where he is very pop
ular, the Christian Science Monitor
relates. His car is always clean and
comfortable, and he has a particularly
fine horse, but Pat himself is the chief
attraction. He is bubbling over with
genuine fun and wit. It is true that
he somewhat startled an English
friend of mine last year. She had en-
so much that wishing to be sure of
being able to engage him again, she
asked him his name. AS she was writ
ing it down he exclaimed suddenly,
"Oh, please to stop, ma'am; sure
you're putting out me eyel" She had
written Dickinson instead of Dickin-
son. On their way to the park they
saw bakers boy drop his basket of
loaves, and Pat Immediately called
out, Its glad I do be to see that
breads down in these hard times"
AS they were passing the Four
Courts my friend asked him what that
fine building was. Pat drew up his
horse, and accosted barrister, who,
in wig and gown was standing at the
entrance. "Would your honor be so
kind as to tell this fair lady what this
fine building is?"
"Why, you rogue, you know MS well
as do that it's the Four Courts"
"To be sure, your honor, and so 1t
is, but thought I'd like to have coun-
al
pat" said my friend, who is bru-
nette, might you not better have
called me a dark LADY,"
mot at all. ma'am," was his quick
answer; sure and don't you be my
fare"
He told her that his father was a
farmer in Tipperary. "One day." he
said, ''he was driving COW before him
from the market, when up comes a
cycle agent, and, ses he, Halo. me
man, and what did you give for that
cow 'f20,' ses me father. 'f20 !!
