Lately a Scotchman out of work at San Francisco sauntered along a street whistling “The Keel Bow,” to keep up his spirits, when he was accosted in friendly vernacular by a stranger, a Scotchman also, who asked him what he was after, and if ho wanted worn. “Yes, I do,” was the reply. “Then come to my hoose and I’ll get you work at once.” The moral of the story, according to a contemporary, is, that all emigrants from Scotland should be able to whistle “ The Keel Bow ” with pathos, in case luck should go against them in a far away land. Lost £ls.—So an announcement read the other day. It was most unfortunate to lose such a large sum of money; the person who lost it would naturally feel vexed and annoyed. Many people lose far more than that in a year by purchasing their goods on credit; the trader charges extra profit on all his goods, to cover expense of booking bad debts, etc., etc. Be wise, be prudent, and secure a large saving by buying your groceries from Mr J. S. Baxter, the cash grocer, who gives the best possible value for cash.
