Blarney.

. Honest Barney McGuffey, the silvertongued orator of the Tenth precinct of the Twentieth ward, has Just got back. "I hear ye've been over to the old country, Barney,” said one of his admirers. “Sure and I have —and a Ane reception they gave me there.” “And did ye go to Blarney castle?" "I did that." “But a foine orator like ye’self would never need to kiss the Blarney stone.” “Well, that’s what 1 thought, but no sooner had I got into the castle, and before I had time to defend meself, mind ye, the Blarney stone Aung its arms atyrnt me neck and kissed me.” —Kansas City Star.
