TELLER FOR $50

A Substituted short change" swim
dIer is at work in Washington. With
a quick twist OF the wrist he sue,
ceeded in relieving an unsuspecting
bank teller of $50 while the teller
looked on.
Here is the way it happened:
A man nearly six feet tall, light,
haired, with blue eyes, and hatless
and coatless, rushed into the bank
with a 800 bill in his hand. He
asked the paying teller for $50 bill,
two $50 bills, and a SO bill in ex-
change. He accepte d the money,
counted it, and hurried out.
In a minute he returned q little
more hurriedly than before, and asked
for i've SO bills for his fifty" This
was given him. He thanked the
teller with a pleasant smile, and
casually mentioned the fact that he
was employed by the Postal Tele-
graph Company and that they were
certainly busy that day.
The busy man only reached the
door before he changed his mind. Il
believe I'll just take my hundred
back" he said. He showed a bunch
of bills over the counter, and got HIS
original 800 bill back. With an
other pleasant thank you" he left for
the last time.
The teller took up the bills the man
had showed across, finding that there
were only the 1--WE items" present

capped with hsi original 500 and $50

MCCOY HOLDS RECORD OF FOUR KNOCKOUTS
 IN ONE EVENING

Many boxers have fought two men the same night, and a few have tac- kled three, but Norman Selby, other wise Kid Mccoy, who is now a box ing instructor in the National army, holds the record for having adminis- tered four knockouts in one evening. It will be sixteen years ago tomorrow since Mccoy performed that feat ill a Whitechapel, London, ring. The Hoos- fer middleweight had gone to Eng land for the particular purpose of get ting scrap with Philadelphia Jack O'Brien, who was then, on the other side, but O'Brien sailed for home at about the same time the Kid reached London.
 . Mccoy then issued challenge to fight any man in Europe, agreeing to deliver knockout in four rounds or forfeit any share of the purse. Dave Barry and Jack Madden came forward Both were fairly good heavyweights, but the Kid, just to show his contempt for them, agreed to take on both the same night. Barry was the first man up, but he lasted only two innings. when he was given pass to dream land, Madden, sobered by Barrys de- cisive defeat, was slow in coming for ward to take his dose.
 Jack Scales, who had just won the heavyweight championship of Eng land by defeating Barry, was among those present. He entertained the mo- tion that he was a classy scrapper, and, rising in his place, flourished roll of bills and announced to all and sundry the opinion that he could lick the Kid to frazzle. Mccoy cover. ed the bet, and Scales quickly doffed his clothes and entered the ring.
 As the heavyweight champion of England, Scales had many admirers in the arena, and he was loudly cheered when he f$ced Mccoy to de- fend the pugilistic honors of Eng landJ The crafty Kid sent over blow that staggered the big fellow, another that crumpled him up, and third that sent him to the floor for the full count. It was all over so quickly that the dumbfounded fans scarcely knew wha had happened. Jack Madden came third. and Mccoy put him away

World of Finance

what affects the outlook for, the bond market; not a few authorities
 believing that the next government issue may have to pay better rates of interest than the last. Foreign bond issues have been fairly active, and showed a steadier tendency as result of the Allied successes. Some idea of the severity of liquidation in this market is obtained from the fact that the twenty leading industrials have averaged a fall of about 25 points since our entry into the war, and the railroads drop, of 2S points. This is combined shrinkageof some what over 25 per cent in eight months, or probably $1,500,O00, ,00O. On the other hand British securities have only declined 25 per cent. dur ing the three and one-haf years since the war began. That American se- curities should decline more in eight months than the British in three and one-half years at least suggests the question: Have we not fully, if not over, discounted the effects of war, as thus far experienced?

The minors have no attraction for Fred Merkle. He has let it become known in no uncertain terms that if there is any attempt to trade him off in that direction he will retire from baseball. That's what they all say!
The Bridgeport evening farmer., 1917-12-03

Yes, Max is a great little retirer. If his fine business opening in Cali fornia" doesn't pan out, he can retire from that and sign up again with the Pirates. Barney Dreyfuss, owner of the team, is perfectly willing to have Max around, but as far as a raise is concerned-and that was what induced Max to announce his retirement, as he did last year-there's nothing doing. Five thousand bones is enough, says Dreyfuss.

that as it may it can be set
down that the colonel is not
adding to his own reputation by
constantly criticising Wilson.
The President has made mis-
takes of course, so have his
subordinates, as was to be ex-
pected. But taken in its entir-
ETY. our war program is a Won
.derful success. The President
is making good as a war execu-
tive. He acts along big and
courageous lines, as the situa-
ton demands. He has the
public's confidence and no at
tacks by Roosevelt can shake
that confidence. On the con-
trary the colonel hurts himself
because he appears in the role
of a poor loser who can not
forgive his successful oppon-
ent for the presidency.
The colonel may be entirely
sincere in his criticisms and at
times he is right on some points
but it is an open question if his
present work is not more help
full to the enemy than to this
country. If he keeps on he
will be in line to destroy him

because of his carping at
President Wilson and at al
most everything the admins
tratiOn has undertaken in the
way of war work. The Kansas

the Kansas City Star for which

the war.
No one will doubt the SINGER

The disorder which causes its victims
to worry whether they have anything
toworry about or not is neurasthenia.
It's the great American disease.
The patient is usually pale, showing
that the blood is thin, and the first
thing to do is to build up the blood
because anything that builds up the
general health helps to correct the
neurasthenic condition.
DIR. Williams Pink Pills are an ideal
tonic for this condition because they
are non-alcoholic and neurasthenic
patients should avoid alcoholic stimu-
lants. Write today TO the DIR. Williams
