SCALING THE HEIGHTS.
It takes a small brother to inform the world of a big brother’s accomplishments. Two boys were bragging of the respective merits of their older brothers, when one was overheard to say : ‘My brother’s doin’ a big business. He makes £2 a week by sittin’ at a big desk and doin’ sums.’ ‘ Poh !’ returned the other, scornfully ; • my brother writes poetry. He’s had two half-calf books printed already.’
