An Irishman employed at the big I shipbuliding yard found that most of the disagreeable jobs were left to him, and he was always being told to lift all the heavier weights. On the eve of a launch, when the huge vessel was standing ready on the stocks for the morrow's great event, the Irishman went to the foreman and demanded his pay,

"What for?" asked his foreman. "Surely you're not leaving us?"

"Indade I am," replied Fat. "Since I've been here Tve done soine heavy lifting, but”—and he pointed first to the Anished ship and then to the barricade on the bank of the river-"I'm hanged if I'm going to lift that thing over the fence to-morrow!”.

He had started work on a new job. When the middle of the week came he found himself a little short of money, so he called on the cashier.

"But you've only been here three days."" said the cashier.

"I know," replied the newcomer; "but if I can trust you for the first half of the week, surely you can trust me for the second?"

"I want some ninges for the end wall of my garage," said the cus- tomer.

"That's a funny place to put them" commented the ironmanger.
