HE WON.
——— (Sent in. by A. Brown, Ostend, Waiheke Island.) An American was talking to an Englishman, and they both thought that their country was the heat. The American said: "Once there was an American who sketched a banana skin, and it was so real that sixteen people slipped on it." Said the Englishman: "Oh, that's nothing. There was once an Englishman who sketched a shilling, and it was so real that twenty-four Scotsmen wore their finger-nails away trying to pick it up."
