By Combination.

An Englishman in want of a coach man had an Irishman apply for The situation when the following conver sation took place between them: “You know, Pat, if I engage you" I shall expect you to do things by combination. For instance, if I tell you to bring the carriage around at a given time, I shall expect the horses with it and driving gloves, etc.” “Yes, sorr,” said Pat. He was duly engaged and gave satisfaction. One day his master came to him in a hurry, telling him to look sharp and go for a doctor, as his mistress was ill. Pat was gone for a long time, and on his master grumbling for his delay he said: “Sure, they’re all here, sorr.” “All here?” said the master. “What do you mean?” < __ “Didn’t you tell me tp do things by combination?” ' “What’s that got to do with it?” said the master. “Well,” said Pat', “I’ve got the doctor, the parson and the undertaker.”
