Two unemployed met with 25 cents between them, spun the coin for the joy of a bath. Jones won and departed with the quarter into the public baths. Smith followed him in. stole his clothes, and pawned them foi $2. Walking down the street he saw clocks being sold in a jeweller's win- dow for $40, one dollar down and the balance in instalments. He signed a •contract, paid one dollar and took tht clock. Further down the street he pawned it for $15 and with the pro- ceeds redeemed Jones' clothes, which he returned. The jeweller, however identified his clock in the pawnbrok- er's window and had Smith arrested. Smith appeared in court, proved he was living up to his contract in the clock purchase, and promptly entered a counter charge for false arrest. He was awarded $1,200.00. Now both Jones and Smith have season tickets to the public baths and an unbounded admiration for jewellers. â€" Financial Post. The Advanit nee to the end of th< year to each new subscriber.
