A Good Word for Scotsmen

By Max G'Rbll

Some sixty years ago the great English wit, Sydney Smith, said that It required a surgical operation to inako a Scotsman understand a joke— well, »n English joke, perhaps. How ever, this Baying was witty and very pithily expressed. It was a good joke. The English people are staunch and faithful friend 3, and very conservative, or obstinate, if you prefer, in their tastes and ideas. When they have heard a good joke, and Been it, it lasts them a good long time

. Personally, I have never experi enced any difficulty in getting a joko into a Scotsman 5 and still less in get ting one out of him. Whatever my English friends may think or say to the contrary, my modest persona! opinion is that the Scottish people are brimful of humour- —sometimes uncon scious humour, I will admit

A few years ago, during the early aratumn, 1 was in Scotland and spent a few d&ya with a Scottish fripnd, who happens to be a rich nobleman, * f^tf. which has never spoiled him or ever aiected thfl simplicity of hia manner and character. His Cftßtlo is nearly on the edge of the Firth of Forth (L» Premier dv Qoatrieme, as Victor Hugo ones c&llfid !£•)

One evening we were speaking of the famous Forth Bridge, the only great rival of the Brooklyn Bridep " You know nothing about it," he eaid to mp, "because you have only passed over it. To-morrow I will give you a drive along the banks of the Firth of Forth, and you will have an oppor tunity of looking at the bridge from under, and realising the grandeur of that marvellous p?eca of engineering;"

The following morning we drove in a dogcart, unattended by any servant It was a beautiful hot September day, sod I waa so delighted with the drive that f nrged my kind host to go fur ther than he intended to go at first.

By and by we found it was high time to turn back and drive home quickly, in order to arrive in time for loncheon. I believe that, when we reached home, that good horse had done over thirty milea in about three hours* It was heated and very tired.

To save Jimmie, bis faithful old groom the trouble of coming to fetch the hdrse and trap, my friend drove straight to the stables, some three hun dred yarda from the castle. When we got down he called Jiramie'a attention to the state the horse wasio, and asked him to attend to it at once.

Well, I will spare you thn remarks tbht Jiromve bad to make to hia lord ship for working that horse like that. • Pair beast,' be said, stroking the animal fondly and grumbling all the time. And, looHng severely at his master, he added—' Ye ought to be ashamed of yersel? My friend knew he was in the wrong He nmrer Baid a word, but walked meekiy away, Jimmie «t him all the timp. When we got inside the ball we got rid of a !e# light wraps, and when my noble host and friend waa perfectly sore that Jimraie could not hear him, all he said waa this, which I thought was lo?ely an a specimen of Scottish genial and amiable philosophy.
