PRACTICAL ILLUSTRATION.
Shamus O'Reilly had just been introduced, for the first time in his life, to a circufar saw, and the foreman of the sawmills after,' giving - him the necessary orders, left Shamus to h'is work. Shamus was vastly interested in the buzzing blade, and, his curiosity getting the better of him, soon found himself minus a finger. As he sat disconsolately mopping the blood from his hand, the foreman re-appeared. "Hallo, my man, whats up with you ?" he cried. "What's up wid me, is it? Am not [ after losin' a finger?" replied Shamus, in great, and excusable, indignation. The foreman frowned. He was thinking of the Employers' Liability Act. "And how on earth did you manage that?" he asked, angrily. Shamus shook his head. "Sure, and I don't know! I just touched the blessed thing like this wid my finger- Be jabbers, there's another one gone!"
