The Vandalia Mail and Express
tells this wicked story: A Mexico
young man saw n pretty young
girl at the corn carnival and be-
gah talking to her. He bought
her corn to throw, blOwed himself
for a cane for her, took her down
to a restaurant and spent the
whole evening with her. The
next day he saw her and she re-
fused to speak. He followed her
up and asked her what was the
matter. She told him he must
never speak to her again without
an introduction.

Tho conviction grows that foreign gold

It is interesting TO note that the great
foreign reserve banks are well equipped
10 meet such a demand. The reserve OF
the Bank Of France is nearly sio.o00,ooo
greater than a year ago. Its note clrcu-
iation has expanded over sl5,ooo.oo0 in the

Of $4,000 00O. and its note circulation is
also slightly less.
The presentation of checks TO the sub
treasury for the anticipated governm ent

yesterday. but their effect on the money
market was again counteracted by the
