Geordie Horn was q character well
known among the country folk of the
Scotch highlands twenty-five years ago.
He belonged to q class rather hard to
classify, for he was neither tramp
nor a farm hand, although frequently
following the habits of both. Wan
dertng from farm to farm, the greater
part Of the time he was kindly treated
and Hospitality entertained generally.
While he was a man Of unusual
strength, he was mentally weak and
exceedingly lady.
Hes a gle cute chiel. though slow
In the uptack" understanding. was
the way good many described him.
One day he arrived ut his friend the
Doctors and complained Of severe
pain In his breast The doctor handed
him plaster, with instructions to put
1t on his chest without delay. Geordie
gave him one Of his knowing looks
and took his departure. The doctor
met him few days later and inquired
how he was feeling now. Geordie re.
piled. "Nae better" Ibid you do as
told you with the plaster?" the doctor
went on.
"Weel, no, not exactly. l done the

Story telling and jesting have al.
ways been counted the favorite amuse-
ments OF semibarbaric people. To the
hrst we owe the Arabian Nights"

were formerly the appendage Of all
great houses. In Russia the paid
Joker still hourishes, and the people
pay so much an hour to listen to hts
Jokes and witticisms. He provides
himself with two or three hundred
tickets, and, mounting a sort Of ros-
trum, he announces that he Is going
to rega(e his audience with choice It'd.
bits OF mirth provoking lore He be-
gins selling tickets at q penny each.
and when he has sold enough to war.
rant his beginning he turns himself
loose. and the audience remains spell.
bound by his, humorous stories for an
hour or two. A recent traveller who
saw q number Of these jokers in st.
Petersburg says. IL listened to them
several times, and, although I could
not understand one word the joker
eaid, I was sure from the way the au-
dience greeted his stories with roars
OF laughter that the jokes were above
