Harry Lauder tells flie following story about a funeral in Glasgow and a well-dressed stranger w?To took a seat in on-> of the mourning coaches. The other three occupants o7 the carriage were rather curious to know who ho was. and at last one of them began to question him. Tlie dialogue went like this: "IVII be a brither of the corp?"
"No, I'm no' a brither o' the oorp." "Wcel, ye'll be Fis cousin ?" "Na, I'm no' a cousin* "At onv rate ye'll lie a frien' o' tlie
eorp." "Xa, I'm not that either. Ye se* I've no' l»eon very iweel masel," the stranger explained complacently," an* ma doctor has ordered me carriage exercise, so I thocht this wout'd be tn? cheapest way to ta' it."
