James I of England A TRICK ON AN AMBASSADOR The Different Interpretations of the Same Acts Performed by a Crochety Spaniard and a Hard Headed and Canny Old Scotch Butcher It Is said that King James 1 on re moving to London was waited upon by the Spanish ambassador a man of eru dition but who had a crotchet in his head that every country should have a professor of signs to teach him and the like of him to understand one another The ambassador was lamenting one day before the king tins great desider atum throughout all Europe when the king said lo him Why I have a pro fessor of signs in the northernmost col lege in my dominions viz at Aber deenbut it is a great way off perhaps GOO miles Were it 10000 leagues off I shall see him said the ambassador and am determined to set out in two or three days The king saw he had com mitted himself and wrote or caused to be written to the University of Aber deen stating the case and desiring the professors to put him off some way or make the best of him The ambassa dor arrived was received with great solemnity but soon began to inquire which of them had the honor to be pro fessor of sigus Being told that the professor was absent in the highlands and would re turn nobodj knew when the ambas sador said I will wait his return though it were twelve months Seeing that this would not do and that they had to entertain him at a great expense all the while they con trived a stratagem There was one Geordy a butcher blind of an eye a droll fellow with much wit and rogu ery about him He was got instruct ed to be professor of signs but not to speak on pain of death Geordy cheer fully undertook the role The ambas sador was told that the professor of signs would be at home next day at which he rejoiced greatly Next day Geordy was gowned wig ged and placed in a chair of state in a room in the college all tho profess ors and the ambassador being in an adjoining room The ambassador was shown into Geordys room and left to converse with him as well as he could the professors awaiting the issue with fear and trembling The ambassador held up one of his fingers to Geordy Geordy held up two of liis The ambassador held up three Geordy clinched his fist and looked stern The ambassador then took an orange from his pocket and held it up Geordy took a piece of barley cake from his pocket and held that up After which the ambassador bowed to him and retired to the other professor who anxiously inquired his opinion of their brother He is a perfect miracle said the ambassador I would not give him for the wealth of the Indies Well said the professors to de scend to particulars Why said the ambassador I first held up one finger denoting that there is one God he held up two signifying that these are the Father and Son I held up three meaning the Father the Son and EToly Ghost he clinched his fist to say that these three are one I then took out an orange signifying the goodness of God who gives his crea tures not only the necessaries but the luxuries of life upon which the won derful man presented a piece of bread showing that it was the staff of life and preferable to every luxury The professors were glad that mat ters had turned out so well so having got quit of the ambassador they next got Geordy to hear his version of the signs Well Geordy how have you come on and what do you think of yon man The rascal says Geordy What did he do first think ye He held up one finger as much as to say You have only one eye Then I held up two meaning that my one eye was perhaps as good as both his Then the fellow held up three of his fingers to say that there were but three eyes between us and then I was so mad at the scoun drel that I steeked my neive and was to come a whack on the side of his head and would ha done it too but for your sakes Then the rascal did not stop with his provocation here but forsooth takes out an orange as much ns to say Your poor beggarly cold country cannot produce that I show ed him a whang of a bear bannock meaning that I did ua care a farthing for him nor his trash neither as langs I ha this But by a thats guid con cluded Geordy Im angry yet that I didnt thrash the hide o the scoun drel London T IYs Weekly The Wily OvI A party of horsemen were traveling along Bridge creek a tributary of Bad Water river Wyoming when their horses suddenly shied off the track at the sound of a rattle Search was made for the snake but it was finally found that the sound proceeded from the burrowing owl which lives in the burrows of the prairie dog often it is said in company with the rattlesnake Seated on a post the party heard the owl give a third rattle And whenever they passed the spot it gave warning by its rattle and the horses alway shied off the track in alarm
