"Sit Easy."

A returned traveller who spent half of h: < < boliday in a tour of Ireland brought back a sample of the happy-go-lucky wit of the Irish "jarvey," or driver. In a break-neck race down a hill he suddenly realised that the spirited little Irish mare was running away "Pull her up !" he shouted, excitedly. "Hold tight, your honour." returned the jar\O3', easily. "Pull her up !"' again commanded the traveller, making a grab for the reins. "For your life don't touch the reins," the jarvey answered, without tightening his giip. "Shure, they're as rotten as pears." The traveller made ready to jump, but the jarvey laid a soothing hand on his =lioulder. '"Sit easy," ho said, leassuringly. "I'll turn her into the river at the bridge below here. Shure, that'll stop her!" — The Ebbw Yale Steel Company has j recently installed a metal-mixer capable of dealing with 750 tons of .Yietal at a time.
