The average Scotsman is slow to be moved by fussiness and petulance. An excitable gentleman stood on the platform at Ladybank Junction, pointed out his luggage to the porter, and instructed him to put it on the train for Perth. After partaking of refreshments in the station restaurant, he took his seat in the train. Just as the train began to move he glanced out. of the window, and was amazed to discover his luggage still lying on the platform. In frantic excitement he shouted to the porter, who was standing near it. The porter glanced coolly at the bags, and shouted back: “Yer luggage is no sic fule as yerself; ye’re in the wrang train.”
