ODDS AND ENDS
Once upon a time Archbishop Ryan, of Philadelphia, remonstrated with a priest whose silk hat had seen its best days before the war.
' I would not give up that old hat for twenty new ones,' semi the priest ; 'it belonged to my father, who fell in the uprising of '48.' ' And evidently fell on that hat,' said the Archbishop. -
A car conductor was taking his fares, and coming across an old lady with a boy who appeared to. show his age well, inquired how old he was. The mother said : ' Eleven, sir ; but he perhaps looks older.'
' Yes,' said the conductor, ' the next time he comes he had better have a shave, else he will have to pay full fare.'
