A Bad Twist.

An Irish laborer, having overslept himself one morning, and in his hurry to get to work on time put his trousers on hind side before, arrived at the building on which he was working a little late, and hurriedly ascended the ladder. When about half way up he slipped and fell to the ground. A crowd of fellow laborers soon assembled and at once began to shout, “He’s dead! He’s dead!” But Mike, looking over him carefully and turning around, said, in a solemn tone: “No, he’s not dead, but he got a bad twlsht.”
