SCOTCH FRANKNESS.
In a Perthshire village a gentleman got out his violin to entertain some friends. After he had played a couple of tunes, he paused for a moment and said, ‘ 1 hope you like the music, for I dinna pretend to be a fiddler, you know, and I never will be. I always remember what a man told me when I first began to learn the fiddle. When I started I thought I was getting on splendidly, but one evening as I was practising as usual he said to me —‘ Yea ! that’s it, is’t P Weel, if a’ the good fiddlers in Scotland were to be ta’en an’ drooned i’ the noo there’s ne’er a hair in your head would ever get weet.’
