A Long Kick.

Two Irishmen engaged in peddling linen bought an old mule to aid in carrying tne burdens. One would ride awhile, then the other, carrying tip bales of linen on the mule. One day the man who was on foot got close to hismuleship, when ho receiv“d a kick on one of his shins. To be revenged he hurled a stone at the mule, hut by accident he struck his companion on the back of the head. Seeing what he had done, he stopped and began to groan and rub his shin. The one on the mule turned and asked what was the matter. “Tho cratur's kicked mo,” was the reply. “Be jabers,” said the other, “he did the same to me on the back of the head."
