When the echo returned clearly after four minutes the proud Scotchman, turning to the Yankee, exclaimed: ex-claimed: "There, mon, ye canno show anything like that in your country." coun-try." "Oh, I don't know," said the American, "I guess we can better that. Why, in my camp in the Rockies, when I go to bed I just lean out the window and call out: 'Time to get up; wake up!' and eight hours afterward the echo comes back and wakes me." |
