SOMETHING LADING.
An Englishman and a Scotsman chanced to meet at a football match, the Englishman, contrary to tradition, possessing tho “bottle.’' A few minutes after the game had started a good run was made by one of the visiting forwards. “Good run,” said the Scotsman. “Fine,” said the Englishman, and ami lied his lips to the bottle, ignoring Sandy’s thirsty glances. Later on a goal was scored. “Fine goal,” said Sandy. “Grand,” said the Englishman, taking another draught, hut still not offering it to his neighbor. “I presume you’re a bit of a fitba’ player yoursel’ !” said Sandy. “1 am,” was the proud reply. “I thoclit so,” said Sandy. “You’re a. grand dribbler, but you’re no guid at passing.” .
