The meanest man I ever heard was the fellow in the United States who sent his mother a telegram on his birth- day, congratulatin her on her good luck. And be sent it "enllect"

Some folk wonder why the Scot leaves Scotland. It's not because she's au in hospitable country that refuses a living to her sens. She grows the best Beal in the world-and the best barley. Barley has made Scotland what it was. Alone, it may ont seem to muckle a thing; but man with talt an' things! Srots wha show. And there are co free passes!

But Haig, that's the tune, ye ken.

I'll tell ye why we leave Scotland. We have a passion for law an order an' good government, an' it fair breaks a Scot's heart to see how the world goes-mud- din through wi'oot a bit of kindly ad vice from a man who kens the best way.

Another lie they tell about the Scot is that he has no sense of humour. Don't you believe that, He can see a joke quicker than anybody but it has to be an awful joko-smart and clean. But he doesn't often laugh, even when it's real funny.
