IRISH MANOEUVRE.
. An Irish soldier on duty in Europe received a letter from his wife saying that because of the war she would have to dig the garden herself. “ Bridget, please don’t dig the garden,” wrote Pat, “ That’s where the guns are.” The letter was duly censored, and in a short time soldiers canje and dug up the garden from end to end. Bridget, worried over the incident, wrote to Pat asking what she should do. Pat’s reply was short and to the point: “ Put in the spuds.” * * * “I came right through the campaign without a scratch.” . “ Really, what did you use—-Keat-ing’s?” ♦ * ♦ It is ; rumoured that the District Signallers have recently crossed homing pigeons with woodpeckers. Now their birds not only deliver messages, but also knock on the door. * * * . Corporal Grant: Would you like to see a model home?” Corporal Shove : “ Glad to. What time does she finish work?” .
