Now that hmpskii‘t’s are being worn min

Boots with small, square toes are pro-

a Slick Confidence Man.
Bob Grear was born on July 4, and when
it rolls around he (uslteilratl-s the birth of
the United States and the birth of Robert
Grcar. The green-st celebration he ever
had was in New York city, and he has viv-
Id recollections of that one. He was alone
in the grunt metropolis, and on the morn-
ing of tho Fourth was sittingon a chair on
the sidewalk having his shoes polildled,
when it occurred to him that the boy who
was doing it would make an excellent per-
son to show him about tho city which he
had come to see.
“How much do you make a day?" he
asked him.
“About 81,” replied the boy.
"l'll'givo you $1 a" day to show me
around the city," was the proposition that
Mr. (incur made him, and the boy accepted
with czlmrrncss. 'l‘lloy slam-d and won-
dcrod at their own swuct will for a day,
and it proved that the boy was an excel-
lent guide, for he know every nook alld
cranny of the city and could point outa
grout lllony of the celebrated men that Mr.
Iii-cur had read about. Everything went
so nicely the first day that tho boy was en-
gugod when they parted that night to come
around the next day and be guide again.
Sitti around the corridor of the hotel
that l lght, Mr. Groan- foil in with one of
tile most entertaining men ill the World,
who exhibited the grwtest interest In him,
and before long they had become warm
friends and made an engagement to go
sightseeing the next day, the pleasant
stranger offering to be guide and to show
Mr. Grew through the Bowery and the fa—

I heard of. one of these anecdotes a,
deyortwoago. Right in themidct of

powerin the world of trade. whorenamo
isknown all over this country and En-
ropewsntto a friend and said: "lam

thousand dollars in cash, and must have
825,000 today, or I am done for." '
fleshed thrown himself languidly. into
a chair,” though almost ready to give
up the battle. He knew Well enough
what the announcement of his failure
meant for the oounnercial world. It
probably would have pulled down a score
or more of important institutions. and
very likely would have precipitated gen-
eral disaster. He had been everywhere
with securities in his pocket valued at
hundreds of thousands of dollars. pro-
nounced good then, but he was told in
every place, “Your securities are good.
but we cannot lend money now." Fin
: pen the ocean with “water, water every—
where, nor any drop to drink." Lis
securities at their normal, value wcro
probably worthas much as 310.000.0’J,
perhaps more. but it was impossible for
him to borrow $10 upon them.
The friend to whom he went knew as
well as be what his failure involy'cl;
knew that he was worth at least tan
millions in securities. although he could
not command the 825,000 which stood
between him and the protesting of his
Palm- ‘
The friend said. “Well. I'll try to
help you. What collateral have you
got?" He took from his poolrct securi-
ties which before the panic would lure
commanded easily $50,000, and said: “I
can offer these."
“They are good," said the friend,
f‘nothing better. Let me see what I
can do."
He went out to a financial institution
of which he had long been a customer,
and he said to the officers: “1 want to
borrow 825.000 on this collateral, which
is worth $50,000. I will guarantee toe
paper, provided I have recourse to the
collateral in case it is not paid."
“But," said the bank officers, “we
can‘t load that. The collateral is good
enough; but we can’t even lead on Gov-
ernment bonds. Nobody is lending;
everybody is trying to borrow."
“Well," said the friend, “then I will
submit a proposition to you. If you wlll
lend the money on this collateral it will
earn 6 per cent. for you. It you will
not lend it, then ’I will draw my own
check upon this concern for 825.000. and
I will keep the collateral myself. Now,
it is for you to say whether for the $25,.
000 that you've got to part with you
will take security and 0 per cent. inter-
est or whether you ll pay it out and
get nothing for it, as on must do if I
check it out."
Of course the officers. confronted with
such an alternative, could only decide to
loan the money. and it was the biggest
loan that was made that day or perhaps
for several days before or afterward—sit
least, the biggest new loan.
Tile friend wont back to the capitalist
and said: “The $25,000 is at your com-
mand.”
When the capitalist board this he be-
came a new man. All the energy char-
acteristic of him returned. Said be:
“This will carry me over the dead cen-
ter, for I am satisfied that before any of
my other obligations lllaturo it will be
msslble to borrow money on such securi-
ties as I masses." and that proved to be
the case.
