In the "coachinq" Days.

An amusing story is told of the coach
which used to run between Edinburgh
and Berwick. A passenger complained
bitterly that the cushion on which he
sat was wet. 1t appears that there
was hole in the roof, and through it
the rain was pouring copiously. The
passenger called the guard and in
great wrath reproached him. All the
satisfaction he got, however, was the
quiet and typical Scotch reply, "Ay,
mony a ane has compleened ABBOTT that
hole."-St. James Gazette
