A Showman's Experience With Coun-
terfeit Coins In Naples.
''When you are abroad" said a tour
ist agent, "look out for counterfeit
money. In France and Italy especial
ly look out. There are a lot of small
souled French and Italians who save
up counterfeit money all the year to
dump Il on the tourist trade in the
summer
81 said to look out, but really that
is impossible. An American tourist
has his hands full just to count for
eign money, with its centimes and
Tyres, its francs and centesimi, and
when too often he is unable to cotnt
this money how can he detect coun-
terfeits in 1t?
ITALY is the worst country, and it
is safe to say that every tourist loses
in bad money there 1 or per cent of
all that passes through his hands.
when Buffalo Bill showed in Ma

the next day when the business man

night, 10 and behold, over a thousand
dollars in counterfeit money had been
taken in.
Buffalo Bill in person went and
complained to the prefect, or chief of
police.
They passed a thousand dollars on
you in counterfeit| said the prefect
They did said Buffalo Bill bitter
ly.
Just like these Italians exclaimed
the prefect. What a grand nationr"

in his hand. He was muffled up in
a large capote lined with fur and wore
on his head an amaranthine velvet

his right marched, also on foot, King
