IMPERTINENCE.
At a recent meeting of an Irish Board of Guardians an application from their medical officer for three weeks' holiday came under consideration. After a heated discussion, however, his request was refused on the grounds that "his unparalleled impertinence in having, during t. i exercise of his duties, contracted typhus fever, had imposed on the Guardians the expense of £3 3/2," which sum they had had to pay a substitute during his illness. Doubtless if the unfortunate gentleman had died he would have suffered instant dismissal as a mark of the Guardians' disapproval of his conduct!
