The Jew got a drink by being very charming to the barmaid for a quarter of an hour, and when ho left i isting that lie paid for the drink when ho ordered- it, tho girl thought perhaps sho had forgotten, aud let him go. Tho Scotsman thought ho could beat that. Ho ordered his drink, flirted with the barmaid for ton minutes or so, and tl - exclaimed: “ Ah, weel, I doot I’ll line tno be going —give mo my change, please!” During a railway journey the carriage boro kept on telling his fellow passengers marvellous and improbable tales of his dog Fido.

Certain historians declare that ho was buried at Alexandria in a coflin of pure gold.
