PUZZLED TIM.
A faithful Irish employee announced his desire to take a fortnight’s holiday in order to visit his brother in Dublin. He had worked so well and steadily that his employer not only granted the request, but made him a present of a new portmanteau. The night before Tim was to leave he received the gift, accompanied by a few appreciative words. Tim stared at the portmanteau for a' moment, and then asked: “Phwat am Oi to do with thot?” “Why, put your clothes in it when you go away, of course,” answered the contractor. “Put me clothes in it, is it?” said Tim. “An plnvat will Oi wear if 0! put me clothes in it?”
