One of the ulsters told him, laughingly, '-hat if he went oui too much she wuul I have to tie him up. He said that in that case he would chew the cord otf. The convent and hospital are in the same building, an-\ there is a ohapel on the groun 1 floor. As an exampie of his activity, it may be mentioned that at an entertainment given by the orphan cml iren not long ago tne old gentleman danced a jig in good style. He is proud ot the fact that he shaves himself, and that be makes his own neck net. His head is eovered with hair, scarcely gray.
