one OF the remarkable cases that has
come to the surface in the bankruptcy
court in New York is that of Arnold
Fieldstein. 1t has not been so very long
since he was thought to be one of the
rich men of that city. He was the head
of "a great silk importing house, and had
a splendid residence in New York and a
summer home at Tuxedo. He lived as
became a man of fortune-that is, he lived
literally. He was great club man, fire.
qrented ell of the frst-cass restaurants
on Broadway. and was always seen at
the theater on first nights.
Recently he filed a petition in bankrupt
cy. This petition showed his assets to
be about .$195,OO0, and his debts a little
more than 1913, 900. 1t was at once evident
to his creditors that they would not get
a very big percentage of their claims and
so they hunted around to find out what
had become of Mr. FieIdsteins money.
1t did not take them long 10 discover
that he had become infatuated with the
game of roulette. Apparently hundreds
of thousands of dollars had been squand-
cred in establishments in which that game
was the leading feature.
Then the creditors decided to get back
from the gamblers some of the money that
Mr.. Fieldstein had left with them. They
brought suits for large amounts, basing
their suits on checks which Mr. Fieldsteln
had given for his gambling debts The
law permits suits to be brought for three
times the amount lost in a gambling place.
1t seems to be the understanding that
Mr.. FieIdstein had not been gambling
more than year. 1t is not often that
so large a fortune is squandered on games
of chance in so short a time. II is doubt
full If the bankruptcy court will disclose
another case like this of Mr.. Fleidstein's
though some queer things come to ligh
In that tribunal.

FOREIGN DEMAND FOR STEEL PRO
nI(TS.

II is rather remarkable that. prices for
steel products should decline so much,
while the foreign demand for these prod
ucts is so great. II was stated by
steel expert in Wall street day or two
ago, that the foreign demand for steel
rails would be sufficient 20 keep the great
steel companies busy for ten years.
1t Is a fact that the whole world is com
ing to this country for iron and steel
products. 1t is not improbable that the
drop in prices was largely due to pur-
pose 70 capture great contracts for steel
and iron products about to be given out in
Europe. The London Statist says that
the decline in the prices of steel in this
country, is viewed in Europe with gen.
ulne alerm, because it is recognized that
at the lower prices steel and iron can be
produced by the American mills at
profit. That paper, in commenting upon
the ability of American iron and steel
makers, to cut prices without getting
below the profit line, said: over and
above all, the shadow of America is tow
ering over the market"
Russia is now preparing to negotiate a
loan of $50000,O00 In this country, every
cent of which she expects TO spend here
for steel rails. steel cars. locomotives and
other things necessary for the equipment
of a railroad The chief engineer of the
Trans Siberian Railway is now in New
York city, for the purpose of purchasing
electrical and Steel supplies for that road,

It is well known that the steel makers
of Alabama and Tennessee set the prices
for steel. They can make it at less cost
than it can be made elsewhere In the
world. 1t will not be in the least surpris-

/ steel are made at Birmingham than a,

4 Nnmesnkc of German.

A namesake of Senator German, years
old, was being shown off, by his idola-
trous mother the other day when the min
lister was calling, and was asked to tel
the story of the Saviors birth, says the
Washington correspondent of the Chicago
Record. He told about the shepherds and
the star and the Manager and the bossy
COW that looked reverently at the Christ
child as they chewed their cud. and made
beautiful picture with his childish
tongue. Then. of course. the minister
must ask some questions, which the child
answered bashfully
And what was Jesus mother named?"
asked the minister.
The little one hesitated while he searche !
his memory, and his adoring mamma en-
deavored to help him out.
Don't you remember Jesus mother,
darling?" she said, Don't you remember
her picture, her beautiful picture, the
blessed mother that loves babies SO well.
What was Jesus mothers name? Tell
me. darling"
\ smile of intelligence illuminei the lit
tie fellows face, and he smiled IN triumph:
