Every time she went to Mass she put a half-penny into an old tin box which she kept at home.
After fifty Sundays she opened the box expecting to find fifty half-pennies. She got a surprise for there was only one half-penny, because there was only one Mass heard properly. - There is a little man residing near Ballinamore who is supposed to be dwindling for years and is now only the size of a statue. Many requests have been obtained through his intercession.
