Of some people. An old farmer went
into a grocer's shop short time ago,
ordered a sovereign's worth Of goods
and when they were ready for deliv-
cry laid down a i've shilling piece In
payment thereof
The shopkeeper called out. Here.
this isn't rightr' az the customer start
ed to leave.
"Oh. yes. that's all right" replied the
man. 1--WE got permission from the
Judge to pay 5 shillings in the pound"
A heated discussion revealed that
the man bad lately settled an insol-
vency upon this basis and expected to
continue that method indefinitely.
When he was shown his mistake he
was very indignant and evidently con-
sidered himself much abused man.
