Worse Than Losing Money.

A new form of freak election bet Is
detailed in the following story from a
Biffem, Utah, correspondent of the
Chicago Chronicle:
Jules Verne Hall, the famous globe
trotter, in order to pay an election bet
must refrain from talking during the
next three months. Violation of the
agreement means a loss of $4,000
posted as a forfeit.
"Twice during the last four days
has Hall been within ar C Of losing,
On Wednesday night while absent,
mindedly gazing across the sage brush
an enemy ~carelessly inquired: viii
you have a drink"
THE word Yes was on his lips.
when Hall with a powerful effort re-
strained himself and merely nodded
assent. Then an argument was start
ed as to the relative merits Of the Eng
fish and Russian navies. Hall Is a
native of the British Isles and when
everyone present agreed that Rojest'
vensky could have defeated the Eng
lish home fleet, poor Hall ~spluttered
until he grew red in the face.
The doors were locked and he
could not escape, so to save his $4,000
he gagged himself with a blanket. He
Is suffering as few men have suffered.
Because he dare not speak he has been
living on ham and beans. and he can
not protest when his companions lock
him outside the cabin"
