Under the heading of "A Typical Highlander," a Scotch correspondent writes of Sir Robert "SIR RAB." Menzies, of Menzies by the people of Scotland " Meengis ") in the following strain:—Although eighty years of age, Sir Robert walked, the other day, fourteen. miles over the moor of Hannoch to do some baeinew on some of his property there, and walked back again as little fatigued as if he had just been having a turn in hig own avenue. He has since started jEor the shootings, like the good sportsman he is, No. fine beds or champagne luncheons for him. Se sleeps in * | small hill-tent on the moor. His | practice is to return late on Saturday | evenings to his home at Aberfeldy, and at daybreak on the Monday morning! he is off again over the moor. He moves his tent daily, and is, practically speaking, not to be found for a week. I Doctors may warn him of the strain he ' is putting on his strength, bat he just 'smiles at them and lights his pipe. Sir Robert, the correspondent goes on to say, was Colonel of one of the Highland Volunteer regiments in Perthshire, and was induced to retire only last year. He did so reluctantly. A few years ago he was called upon by the War Office to retire owing to age. Jffe sent a characteristic reply. He , invited the War Office to send the beat | marching officer in the army, and he would walk him to the top of Schiehallion and back, and if the army j" ped " beat him he would retire. Schiehallion i& a mountain between Aberfeldy and Loch Rannoch, 3547 ft above sea level. Needless to say, the ' offer was not accepted by the War ; Office. Sir Robert Menzies rowed in ! the University boat race somewhere about the time of the Queen's Acces sion. He is a most pronounced I Conservative, and twenty or thirty years ago was a hard working canvasser : for his side at the elections in Perthshire. The local papers used to harrow him up pretty extensively on thosa occa sions, it beiogin one of them that a poem appeared, written in the broken Eng lish supposed to be made use of by Gaelic speaking people, which closed with those lines, the words of a High lander who resented the dictation of the chief as to how a vote should be given :— " She'll bow tao naiie, unless tae'God ! Sir Rab the Meengis? No, She'll no! "
