A Seotehinan was asserting that some of the most celebrated poeta and briglitest intellects the world ever produced were descondants of his race, and quoted Boott, Burns, and others as evidenoe. An Euglisliman who was present torts : " I suppose yon will claim next that even Shakepeare was a Scotchman." " Weel," he replied, " I'm nae so sure o' that;but ane thiug I do ken - he had intellect eneuch to he a Scotchman."
