HOW THEY WORKED IT.
Mick and Pat, working in the country some distance from a hotel, arranged with the landlord to take to their hut a small keg of rum. They were unable to pay for the liquor at the time, having only one threepenny piece between them; but Mick proposed that every time he had a drink he would give Pat threepence, and Pat also agreed to pay Mick for his drinks, the cash thus gathered to be brought to the publican when the keg was empty. This proposal was accepted by the publican, the keg of rum handed over to the two Irishmen, who immediately started on their journey. They had not proceeded very far before their burden made them thirsty. Mick is the first to pull up with: “Hold on, Pat, I think I’ll have a drink.” “Begorra,” replied Pat, “you’ll have to pay me for it then.” Mick hands the 3d. to Pat before having a good “pull.” Pat now being the possessor of the price of a drink, slakes his thirst by paying Mick 3d. for it. This form of payment is kept up till the rum has disappeared. On their next visit to the hotel, the 3d piece is handed to the landlord as being payment, according to terms of agreement adopted by him.
