find the following paragraph in one
Of my Swedish exchanges, and hardly
know whether the reference is friendly
or not. quote from The Nordstjernan,
Of New York. The Nordstjernan goes
ON TO say as follows:
BILL nye, var bekante hrrnorist, slog
gacken los Torsdags morgon vid stort-
baden Saratoga, da hans fot slant pa
marmorgolfvet och han f0l rakt pa en-
porslinsspottback och erholl raft svara

authority for the item is a paragraph
recently printed in some of the Amer

sumed my name and gone to Saratoga
for tagging purposes only fell over a
| pet cinnamon bear at Congress Hall and
cut his brow open on the sharp edge of
a porcelain cuspador or "spott back. "
| He lay unconscious until some one de-
tected gas leak and following up the
odor discovered the cash in his head. 1t
was then learned that he had registered
under my name, and the gladstone news
flashed over the wires that had fallen
on a ''spott back"
He is the same dappel gauger Of mine
| who three years ago stole carload of
| watermelons in OHIO. using nothing but
an iron bar and pseudonym.
But even other people are talked about.
Here is what The Nordstjernan says OF
