At one of the largest ilrins in Ire-
land, as most of the clerks reside in
tho suburbs, a certain amount of
time is allowed thena for arriving at
the office in the morning. They are,
however, regeired to explain on a

pose, the cause of their unpunctual-
ity. The first clerk to arrive al-
ways leads off with the words,

case may be, and to this the other
