explained that it had been raining 50
much his crop had gotten grassy The
merchant said he was not i'm the bank
ing business and he was hardup him
self and had to borrow money. The
friend was non-plussed by this reply
and said: "Oh, I'll make a paper at the
bank. All | want YOU to do is Ia sign
it," The merchant replied, hesitating-
ly, "all right, go ahead" The friend
went out and after a short time came
back to the merchant and said: Come
on; that papers ready" The merchant
went to the bank and endorsed the pa
per- which was a chattel MORTGAGE.
After endorsing it he looked at il to
see what was included in the mort
gage, and, 10, and behold. there was
description of his own COW. The mer-
chant laughed at the audacity of the
transaction, but let it so through. The
merchant had allowed his friend to
mortgage a COW he had loaned him and
then endorsed the note. If You don't
believe this story ask r. \. Jones and
John Hopper whether or not it's n true
bill.
