And Granite Nerve.

A good story is told by an English
tourist who staid for week in apart
ments in Aberdeen, the Granite City.
II had heard he says, "of the
canny folk of Aberdeen, and my experi-
ence, short though it was, proved that
rumor had rightly estimated the char
acter OF the people. The streets are
granite, the houses are granite and the
inhabitants are granite, and when they
have granite baby they give it ball
OF granite for fear it should break any
other toy.
Il had granite landlady. and one
day when l was going fishing her son
volunteered to accompany me. pro-
vided the lunch. the rods and the lines.
he provided the worms-dug them up
In neighbours garden with borrowed
spade. l caught 10 trout; he ate the
lunch and broke my best rod. When
we got home, | made present of IA of
the hsh to my granite landlady and
asked her to cook the other two for nv
tea. She did-and charged me three
pence for the dripping in which they
were fried. "-Edinburgh Scotsman.
