Put Her in Hard Situation.

Old Bridget was long in the family, and one of the tales about her which always started a chuckle ran as follows: In order to have a chance to eat his luncheon in peace the doctor requested ber to say he was "out" to anyone who might call. The bell rang and she hastened to answer it. After a space she returned and stood awaiting a pause in the conversation. "Ahem!” says Bridget. ‘‘Docthor, dear, Oi don’t moind lyin' fer yez, but, sor, Oi do feel dilicate about tellln’ them yer out. phwin they hears yer voice in the dinin’ room.'*
