An old Wee Free" woman was
walking to church in Scotland with
her family. The Church of Scotland
minister rode past at a tremendous
rate, and the old body said to her
children:
"Siccan a wey to be ridin', and this
the Sawbath day! Aweel, aweel, a
guild man is marcifu' to his BEAST"
Shortly afterwards the ''Wee Free"
minister rode past just as furiously,
but she changed her tone.
''Ah, there he goes!" she cried;
there he goes the Lord bless him!
Puir man, his hearts in his work, an
he's eager to be at it!
