How Pat Proved It.

AIT Irishman was once serving in a regiment in India. Not liking the climate, Pat tried to evolve a trick by which he could get home. Accordingly he went to the doctor and told him his eyesight was bad. The doctor looked at him for a while and then said: 7 “How can you prove to me that your eyesight is bad?” Pat looked about the room and at last said: “Well, doctor, do ye see that nail on the wall?” “Yes,” replied the doctor. "Well,” then replied' Pat, “I can’t.” —Chicago Tribune.
