buyer and an enthusiast on good roads.
He was in Kansas on mule-buying
trip. when he stopped at a small town
west Of Fort Scott. A veterinary was
preparing hot application for horse
with a sprained leg when Mr.. Field
approached the livery stable. A ket-
tie with the water heating in It stood
near and men were gathered about dis
cussing how hot the water should be
when applied TO the horses leg. They
asked Drury Fields opinion. Mr..
Field said It should be boiling. "But"
said the doctor, ''the horse never could
stand having his foot put in q bucket

London Financial Houses Resent
Repeated Requests for Monex

London. Oct 23.-There is a general feel
ing Of annoyance among bankers and the
great financial houses in London at the
effcrts Of Japan 10 raise another loan over
here Just now, and the existence of this
feeling has been conveyed TO the japanese
special commissioner who is now in this
country. In consequence of this protest
il is understood that the loan has now
been postponed for a short time It is felt
that by securing repeated loans Japan is
not only seriously affecting the money
markets Of Europe. but is impairing her
own continent.
Japan said weII-known financier
Tuesday evening is evidently going on
the principle Of get as much as you can
while you can but the exact policy is
bound to act seriously against her very
shortly. since neither London. Berlin. nor
New York viii go on finding money for
her forever and ever.
The reception awarded to the last loan
in this country vas not only very cool.
but was In marked contrast 10 the manner
in which the previous loans were taken
