THE LAST LAUGH
The Scotsman was showing his American friend round the country. "That's a fine train for ye" said the former pointing to an express which had just appeared out of a tunnel. "Sure," agreed the American; "but we-ve got trains twice as big as that in the States." The Scotsman was silent for a while. "That's a fine building for ye,"-he said. "What dae ye think o' it."* ' ' Say,' * laughed the American, 'l that's nothing. We *ye got hundreds of buildings bigger and better than ttest." "Aye," returned the Scotsman. 'I expecl ye have. Thatte an asylum."
