HONORS EASY.

Sir Francis Octavius Swafiy Meets His Equal at Last It was evident from his swagger that he was a scion of the aristocracy, and the most casual observer could not have failed to note that he was a 6t ranger to the city. He touched a well-dressed, auburn-haired young man who was lolling in front of a hotel on the shoulder. “Pardon me, my dear man, but could I trouble you for a match?” After lighting his cigar he continued: “Bah Jove, this is a remarkable city. This is me first visit to Ireland, d’ye know? I'm a stranger, but on the other side Pm a person of importance. I am Sir Francis Octavius Swaffy, Knight of the Garter, Knight of the Bath. Knight of the Double Eagle, Knight of the Golden Fleece. Knight of the Iron Cross. D’ye mind telling me your name, me dear man?” Replied he of the auburn hair, in a deep, rich brogue: “Me name is Michael Murphy, night before last, night before that, last nigh-t, to-night, and every other night—Michael Murphy.”—L udon Tit-Bits.
