If he had had something funny to say or could merely nave made dumb show of it altogether. it would have been better. But he had to say the saying of the play and therefore lacked that spontaneity which in musical comedy is the little more which is so much. It ought to be hardly necessary to say that MT. DeAnoelis had many opportu- mites for osculation which. however, he generously shared with his. rival. but he drank comparatively little. His best performance was the rendition of the song, Have You Ever Had It Told That Way Before? which made great hit.

tivity
In this country the great demand for accom-
mediation in connection with industrial expan-
sion has kept bank holdings low. while it has
placed in the pockets of the people more money
than they ever had before, circulation per capita
now being heavier than ever reported in the
history of the country; but certain railroad
fnanciers who have been thrown into panicky
condition of mind because of their own high
handed methods. assert that stiff rates for funds
are due TO the agitation which has been going
on against railroad corporations which until
now have considered themselves above the law.
The railroads in the past have had things pretty
nearly their own way, and now that they, like
other borrowers, have to pay stiff price for
funds. they have gone into blue funk and, in
the language of Kipling their teeth are chatter
ing.
The president of the Chicago & Great Western

reason for doubt over the favorable position of
trade in the United States There are signs of

be upset by the sudden panic among the rail
road managers. The railroads will not retire
from business. and the wild talk of the rail
roads going into bankruptcy is nothing but
weak pap for silly babes. AS matter of fact
