Absentee Landlord.

An English tourist was sight-seeing in Ireland, and the guide had pointed out*the Devil’s Gay, the Devil’s Peak and the Devil’s Leap to him. “Pat,” he said (all English tourists call Irish peasants ‘Pat,’ just as they call little boys ‘Tommy’), “the devil seems to have a great deal of property in this district!” “He has, sir,” replied the guide; “but, sure, he’s like all the landlords —he lives In England!’’—Manchester Guardian.
