Now, boys, said the Scotch professor, If you'll put a few crazy answers in your examination, l can sell them to a magazine for two hundred dollars each. A Scotchman telephoned the doctor in a great state of agitation. Come at once, he said, Our wee bairn has swallowed a sixpencef' How old is it? queried the doctor. l894, was the reply.
