“Pat,” he said, “why don’t you come
down?”
“I don’t know the way,” replied
Pat.

up.”
“Faith and I’ll not,” said Pat; “sure,
I came up head first.’

ed to put a stop to •thK so she met
the beys as it'hey came into the room
and thus admonished them:
“See here, boiys, you are making al
together too much noise. Hereafter,
when you come into the class room', I
want you to leave your puffs and
pants downstairs.”
