- Some years ago a woman died and a man made up his mind to steal her clothes by night. When the night came he put the clothes in a bag and ran away with them. When he was about half way home he felt the thing jumping in the bag so he looked into it and it was the woman he had in the bag instead of the clothes. He wasn't long leaving the bag and woman after him and skidedling for the bare life.

When they were gone about half way they saw a crowd of people coming towards them and one of the women said "We are early enough they are only coming from first Mass."(continues on next page)
