KEENE'S TIGHT MONEY TALE
Shows How One Might Borrow $40 anc
Not Be Any Better Off.

James II. Keene, the financier, told
this story illustrative of high finance
at the Waldorf the other night, says
the New York World:
A Kentucky darby negotiated a loan
of $40 from a New York banker, pledg-
ing his mule and cart as security
Money is pretty tight" explained
the banker, land shall have to charge
you $3.50 now for the use of the $40
for month
The darby consented, signed the pa
pers and half an hour later was found
by a friend standing in the road
scratching his wool with one hand and
looking ruefully at the $3.50 in the
other.
WAITS de matter, Sam?" asked his
friend.
"Oh, dere amt nothin' de matter,
'cept knows rs right. Dat bank
man he done charge me $3.50 for $40
for month. Is right, sub, fo' if

LIKE HUMAN CORKS,
How the Water In Great Salt Lake
Treats the Bathers.

How the Water In Great Salt Lake
Treats the Bathers.
Bathing in Great Salt lake is n
unique experience.
Flights of steps lead down into the
water from the interminable platform
along which the lighthouses are stu
ated. The water is quite shallow at
first, and you find rare enjoyment for
a time in wrfggling your toes about in
the salt that forms the bottom in
place of accustomed sand. You are
obliged to wade out some distance be-
fore you experience the peculiar buoy
ancy of the lake. First you feel your
feet trying to swim out from under
you. You find it more and more diff
cult to walk. You begin to float in
spite of yourself. Then you realize
you are nonsinkable You can't sink if
you want to. Throw yourself on your
back or sit down or try to swim, and
you bob about like a rocking chair in
freshet. You feel as though you had
been turned to cork. You can't help
looking at the phenomenon subjective
ly. You don't see that there is any
thiuS peculiar dDOuI Tic WdtSr.
looks and feels like any other bathing
water-until you get some of it in your
eyes or In your mouth. Then you wish
you hadn't come Ocean water is
sweet in comparison In fact, the
chemists tell us it is eight times less
salty.
You can't drown in the lake by sink
Ing, but you can be suffocated to
death, which is just about as uncom-
Portable and undesirable. We found
signs everywhere warning us against
being too laxative or too frolicsome in
the water.
When we came out we brought with
US large deposits of salt on our skin.
AS the water evaporated we found our
selves covered with white crystals.
Only a strong shower bath of fresh
water or a good clothes brush can put
you into fit condition to dress.-Travel

MOTOR DASH TO SOUTH POLE
Special Machine For Ice Work Makes
Dog Train Unnecessary


Lieutenant Shackelton's preparations
for Il motor trip to the south pole have
been completed, says a London special
cable dispatch to the New York Sun.
He Will go under the auspices of the
British antarctic expedition. The mo-
tor is made of specially prepared steel
which is supposed to be able to resist
exposure.
1t has two sets of wheels. one of the
ordinary pattern and the other OF
wood. The front pair is of wood and
is to be used to travel over SHOW on
wooden runners shaped like skees. The
driving wheels are fitted with steel
blocks, into which steel spikes can be
inserted when stretches of ice and free
snow are encountered. A box placed
on the side of the car has pipe which
is warmed from exhaust gases to mel,
snow for cooking and drinking. Foot
warmers are heated in the same way.
The car will run only about twenty
five miles day. but will carry enough
petrol for 500 miles. Dogs will not bt
necessary, and the elimination of ear
rying provender for them will give
plenty of room for storage. The motor
has two seats and is only protected by
gabardine and wind screen against
the temperature. The greatest Interest
is felt in the expedition.

desperate milling. In the first rouna
no damaging blows were landed, al

the extreme.
The second session began with a
rush. the men coming together with
terrific jabs to the stomach. Papke
missed several uppercuts that. had
any one landed, would have terminated
the battle.

contest came TO termination. With
his head practically resting on Ca

man almost to the ropes. They werc
in the act of breaking, when Papke
drove up a terrific right which landed
fairly on the jaw. Caponi fell like a
| log, but seemed to be possessed of hi:
senses sufficiently to attempt to arise
Then he fell forward completely ur
conscious.
Papke came out of the battle wit!

termination to fight Hugo Kelly
