SCOTTISH SENSE OF HuMoR


Mr.. AsQuith, while unwilling a mon
ument to his political predecessor,
Sir Henry CampbelLBannerman in
Stirling the other day noted that
There is stiIl an ignorant supersti-
ton upon the other side Of the Dor
der about the existence, or, at any
rate. about the limitation of what is
called Scottish humor. (Laughter.)
"Of that superstition, If and so far
as it still survives, CampbellBanner-
man was in his day the best standing
reputation, for not only was his humor
undeniable, but when he was most hui
morous he was most a Scotsman If
the sense OF humor consists, as some
people think It does, in a vivid per-
ception Of incongruities. few men of
our time have been SO well endowed
with 1t.
Your chairman (Sir John Graham)
told me last night a little story which
! will steal from him and which, /
think, is a very good illustration of
what ] mean. Sir John told me that
on the occasion of one of Sir Henry's
elections here he was met in the street
by a voter who said to him: Sir
Henry, / like you very much. but |
would rather vote for the devil, Sir
Henry at once replied without turning
q hair: AS your friend is not a can-
didate, you might Just as well vote
for me.

Uncle Bill James. an eccentric but
honest old gentleman Of a certain
county In a southern state. by hard
work and much self-denials had man
aged to save up and deposit $500 in
the bank in the town near his home.
One morning, a neighbor, thinking to
have some fun, told the old gentleman
that the bank had failed. Grabbing his
old pistol, Uncle Bill" was soon at
the bank. Presenting his weapon at
the cashiers head. he demandedq the
$500 that he had deposited.
Certainly" said the cashier as he
began counting out the money.
Uncle Bill" eyed the proceedings
for. a moment, and then his mouth fell
open. "H-h-hold on a minute" he said.
"H-h-have you got the money!"
"Of course I have" answered the
cashier, as he went on counting it out,

NOTES A MYSTERY or MONEY
Difference In Unit Of Values Between
Belgium and Holland 10 a Puzzle
to the Traveller.

There are a good many mysteries OF
money and tariffs, and the wayfarer
through life is often puzzled. Why is
it that in the little step from Belgium
to Holland your whole financial out
look on life is altered? They live close
together, the Dutch and the Belgians.
But in coinage they are far apart. Bel
GUM thinks in francs. Holland thinks
in forms. And when you step from
the one little country to the other you
find they are thinking the same thing.
Goods in terms Of money.
You have but to cross the frontier
between these small countries to find
the difference: Belgium lives on
francs, Holland reckons in forms, and
the amazing thing is that every one
cross the frontier will pay about
twice as much for the mere luxury of
taking the form as a unit instead Of
a franc. Now / should like to know
what is the economical reason of this,
says a writer in the London Chronicle.
For Belgians and Hollanders appear
equally prosperous. And the Hol1ander
lives on the form, while the Belgian
lives on the franc. The Englishman
who crosses the frontier finds the ex-
traordinary difference when he
changes his sovereign.
