The Canny Scot. For once the American had discovered something British that was better than anything they could produce “across the pond." His discovery was a fine ccilie dog, and he at once tried to induce its owner, an old shepherd, to sell it, “Wad ye be takin* him to America?” inquired the old Scot. “Yes, I guess so," said the Yankee. “I thocht as muckie,” Bald the shepherd. “I couldna pairt wi’ Jock.” But, while they sat and chatted, an English tourist came up, and to him the shepherd sold the rollie for much less than the American had offered. “You told me you wouldnt sell him,” said the Yankee, when the purchaser had departed. “Na,” replied the Scot; “I said I couldna’ pairt wi’ him. Jock’ll be back in a day or so, but he couldna’ swim the Atlantic.”
