Angus Macdonald was a farmer from
Charlotteburg, County Glengarry, who
arrived in Winnepeg a few days ago.
Angus, in his own estimation and in the
estimation of his friends, was a shrewd
man. He was hardly in the place be-
fore an old acquaintance Of his ran up
against him, slapped him on the back
in friendly way and said:
I'm glad you've come up. was
Just going to send for YOU" After
their greetings he continued: by the
way, Angus, you own farm out near
Minnesota
Yes"
How much will you take for it?''
Il don't know" said Angus. Il
thought of settling on it myself =
well, I'll tell you what, I'll give you
Sc, 900 fori it,
Angus thought before leaving Glen
garry that if he got $4,000 for it he
would be doing well, but he was now in
the land of bo0ms, and so he asked for
it $4,000
"Well, here's $50 on the bargain, and
wen sign the papers tomorrow And
the purchaser rushed off.
Before two hours had passed Angus
ran against another old acquaintance.
Glad to see you, Angus; glad you
came up. There's splendid chance
for you. BY the way, see you regis
tered as owning farm near Minnesota.
How much do you want for that farm?"
I've sold it, said Angus.
"How much did he give you?"
''Six thousand five hundred dollars
The dickens he did. Why, I'll give
you Sl5. 200 for it. You 60 to the pur-
chaser and get him to release you, and
I'll give YOU the Sl5, 000."
Angus wished that he was back in St.
Raphaels or anywhere else, since he
had made such fool of himself, How
ever, all he could do was to try and get
the farm back. So who does he run
across within fifteen minutes but pur-
chaser No, /.
Says Angus: I'm sorry | sold you
