698 The Review of Reviews, 



OLD BUS-DRIVER WIT. 



" The Vanished Humorist " is the title of a very 

 amusing paper by W. Pett Ridge in the DeremV)er 

 CornhiU. It reminds us of what we have lost 

 through the substitution of motors for horses. For 

 the old humorous 'bus-driver is now almost entirely 

 a memorv of the past. Mr. Ridge recalls several 

 specimens of his fun : — 



" How do you like it?" inquired a conductor, in the 

 blinding- rain, of his driver. 



"I wish I was in 'Eav^en!" 



" I wish I was in a pub," declared the conductor. 



"Yes!" said the driver bitterlv. " \'nii always 

 want the best of everything-!" 



It was a conductor, also harassed, who came up 

 once to announce, " Westminster Abbcv." 



"Who wants Westminster Abbey?" 



"I do!" answered a Mady passeng-er, without 

 moving-. 



"Well," protested the conductor, "you'll reallv 

 have to come down for it. I can't very well bring it 

 up to you !" 



At Hyde Park Corner a brougham and a pair of 

 g-reys were being conducted, with some difficulty, 

 across the road. 



"Hullo, gardener!" said the omnibus driver, lean- 

 ing down kindly. "Coachman ill again?" 



The motor-'busman is too ten.sely al)sorl)ed in 

 his arduous task to have time for " chaff."

REAL HARRIS TWEED 



made by the Crofters of Lewis and Harris can best be 

 obtained from 



DONALD MACIVER. 



15 AND 17 Bayhlad Stueet, S)oh.nowa\, Scotland, 

 whose stock for quality and variety is the best in the trade. 

 Harris Tweed is incomparable for those engaged in outdoor 

 pursu ts; sportsmen have always recognised its usefulness. 

 No other tweed can show up so beautifully after the roughest 

 and most careless treatment and exposure to every variety 

 of weather. It is extremely comfortable in wear and bears 

 that strong and characteristic look which is re.miuiscent of 

 the country where it is made.
