PADDY OX THE JOB. Paddy was out of work, and passing a works ho saw a notice which said a stoker was wanted. Of course, he could use a spade, so ho applied and got tho job. It seems the man who held the job before was sacked because ho lost time and naturally his mates wouldn't tell Paddy how to go about his fresh job. Tho bes; told linn to watch tho pressure gauge, and if he wanted to know anything 1.0 was to go and ask the boss. For a while all went well. Paddy shovelltxl the. coal on, and tho gauge registered full pressure; and he worked away until the safety valve started blowing off. Still ho worked awsv, and the steam still escaped through the safety valve. Paddy, not knowing what was tho matter, ran to the l>oss, and said: — " Boss, if you don't be coming to this 1 oiler, the" boiler will 1© coming to vou!"
