A Desperate Expedient.
Representative Frear was discussing
certain tariff barriers.
“They are mean,” he said. “Yes,
they are as mean as the three Peebles
Scotchmen.
“Three Peebles .Scotchmen, in order
to get warm, attended a prayer meet
ing one cold night, and it turned out
that a silver collection was to be taken
up to try and pay off a six months’ de
ficit on the pastor’s salary.
“What, were tlie three Scotchmen to
do? How escape the silver collection?
They held an anxious whispered talk.
Then one fainted and the other two
carried him out.”
