Mr. Andrew Carnegie consulted an Edinburgh bailio as to whether he should go in for a golf course at Skibo. "Yes, by all means, have the golf course," advised the bailie; "and go in for the game yourself; it will add ten years to your life." "Indeed," replied Mr. Carnegie, "that would be worth while. If you will guarantee that it will really add ten years to my life I'll make you a present of two millions!" "Well," replied the bailie, after some consideration, "I canna do that, but I'll tell you what—l'll ylay you for the two millions."
