Deserved to Get How.

Two Irishmen were transpfeg along the road near Manchester One of them could not read at all; tfce other could read only sufficiently well to be proud of airing his accomplishment before his companion. Their journeyings had brought them info the neighborhood of Manchester-by-the-Sea. Presently they encountered a signpost. Mike stopped to read it and Pat stopped to hear him. Now, the sign was very simple, and it said: “Manchester, Seven Miles,” but it seemed to bother Mike, and he looked puzzled. Pat waited until his patience gave out. “What docs it say?” he demanded. “Mon-chased-her,” returned Mike, slowly. “Mon chased hersiven moiles.” Pat picked up his bundle in disgust. “Sure,” he remarked, “if he wanted her that bad, Oi hope to Ilivin he got her.” —Boston Budget.
