Here is another story of the Irish Judge of " shlipper"-throwing notoriety:—A tourist was talking to a man who was breaking stones on the roadside. A carriage drove by. " Who's that in the carriage?" inquired the tourist. "Ah! shure that's the Jidge, an' I'm tould he gits a pound a-day for being that same." " I should say he gets a great deal more," replied the tourist. "Ah ! don't belave it, yer honor. I don't belave he gets the pound a-day itsel'; for manny's the toim I sees him passin' the road here, an' I never seed him drunkt wansht."
