The new comer insisted that in- fortunate was the correct word to use, and the argument waxed warm. Fin- ally, with a show of heat, the young man who started the trouble declared that while he had only a few dollars he would wager them that he was correct. So anxious were his friends to lay wagers with him that he did not have money enough to meet all the de- mands, but he succeeded in putting up $15 in separate small bets.
