You Can Believe it or Not (From Winnipeg Tribune.) Under the hsading ‘"Financial News," R. D. W. contributes an incidâ€" ent, or incidents, serving to illustrate how Scotchmen sometimes rise to disâ€" tinction in the financial world: "Many years ago two Scotchmen might have been seen on the corner of a street in Montreal flipping a quarter, which was all the money they had in the world between them, to decide whether they would spend it on a bath or a breakfast. Cleanliness won out, so they started for the bath. Arriving there, they found that only one could have a bath for a quarter so they tossed for the bath. The loser stayed outside and minded his friend‘s clothes. ' "Suddenly a bright thought struck him; he gathered up his friend‘s clothes and took them to a pawn shop and pawned them for $2.00. With the $2.00 in his pocket, he walked down the street and was attracted by a sign in a window: This clock for $40.00â€"$1.00 down and $1.00 a month. He went in and bought the clock. Taking it with him, he walked around the corner to a wellâ€"known repository and pawned it for $20.00. He travelled back to pawn shop No. 1, got his friend‘s clothss out of hock, tnen toOok them to him and they both went off and had a good meal.

He had the two men arrested and hailed before a judge. those days justice was speedy, and they were tried immediately, â€" One Scotchman‘s defence was that he ownâ€" ed the clock, had bought it on the terms offered by the storekeeper, had paid his dollar down and was going to pay his dollar a month until the clock was paid for. Meantime he had handâ€" ed it to an ‘uncle‘ for safeâ€"keeping. "They then went to a lawyer and sued the storekeeper for $1,000 ‘of defamation â€" of <character.
