    for dear life.
    The farmer had a band concealed under ground in the centre of the fort. No more trespassers troubled the farmer for the rest of his life.

  2. During the making of the Railway line from Balla to Ballina about 70 years ago, an engineer whose father owned a big shop in Ballina, was rather hard to please and looked with contempt on the working men. At dinner hour one day a hard working man was sitting on the bank, having his dinner of brown bread, when the engineer thought he would have a joke at him.
    What sort of bread is that you have Pat?
    O said Pat. It is very good, a mixture of moleskin and corduroy. The Engineer's father sold only moleskin and corduroy pants.
