Scottish humor is dry rather than
boisterous, and always think there
is exquisite drollery in the story of
the Stonehaven railway porter and the
Salvation Army captain" To catch
the hang OF little yarn readers must
remember that Stonehaven lies to the
south OF Aberdeen. The London train
had drawn up at Stonehaven on ac-
count of slight nishap a mile or two
ahead, and Andra, the old porter, had
got into conversation with Salvation
Army officer who had popped his head
out of the compartment to ask the
reason for the delay.
AYE, aye" mused Andra, after CIV
ing the desired information, "ye'n be

visitors words.

But 1t is not only in the display of his charms
that the turkey proclaims his advantage over the
world of our feathered dependents his stentorian
gobbling arrests the attention of all.
The said gobbling, by the way, has given rise
to the only bit OF folklore about the turkey that
I know Of Being American, he is too modern
to have legends associated with him a rule;
but Indian Mohammedans profess to hear in the
turkeys voice blasphemous mockery of their
brief creed as spoken in Arabic. Hence, when

a cruel pleasure in executing 1t by cutting out
its impious tongue; and widely spread is the
belief that little native boy. retainer of an

The fact is, of course, that turkeys

the wild turkey still roams In unre-
