While a blizzard was raging in Clafiin,
Kan, Bob Bailey made a wager Of s.
that he would go from the hotel to the
railroad station in the storm entirely
nude. A bystander offered to bet this
sum that he couldn't do it, and no sooner
was the money in sight when Bob COM
menced to disrobe. and, clothed In the
same style as Adam, he dashed from the
hotel and sped for the depot, nearly two
blocks away Down the street he went,
where on almost any other day a hundred
eyes would have been turned on him in
establishment. and, after touching the de-
pot returned BY the same route in the
driving snow. He reported at the hotel
in precisely two minutes.
In payment of a foot ball bet Boston
actor rode through some of the main
streets OF the Hub recently in an open
carriage, dressed as Spanish troubadour
and waving a Spanish flag curious
crowd followed the unfortunate actor. and
he was treated to some expressions Of
what the sidewalk contingent thought of
O man who had the audacity to wave a
Spanish flag on Washington street. The
expected shower of missiles for which abe
actor had prepared himself. did not ma
terialize, however and he paid his bet al
though he was thankful enough when he
was able TO shed his Spanish garments
and get back into United States clothes
again.

A Money Famine Abroad

Just now Europe is suffering a money fam
inc. 1t has not yet become very alarming
and it may not get much worse. What has
brought it on? For a number of years trade
has been active abroad, while we were living
hand to mouth existence here A large
amount of our gold went over during this
time, which, getting into the bank reserves,
encouraged the banks to extend their ac-
eommodations. In Germany the banks
appeared to have operated on the expecta-
ton that German traders were about to
oust English traders from most of the
worlds markets, and that this substitution
would be the more quickly consummated if
only plenty of credit were granted. New
enterprises with vast capitals, largely sup
piled by the banks, became common. Mean
while scarcity of food intervened all over
Europe, while the United States was blessed
with superabundance. Meanwhile, also,
the bad times here compelled our own pro-
ducers to sell at any price in the world S
markets This prevented the Germans from
completing their designs against the Britons.
The demand for food drew cash from the
bank reserves; the diminution of the re-.
serves compelled the banks to haul in sail.
We do not need the money which Europe
owes us for food and other things. We are
leaving it here at current rates.-American
