A WOMAN TO WHOM JAY GOULD GIVES
PAssEs.-When Jay Gould was in the
tanning business up about Stroudsburg
at a place called Gouldsboro, he was not
so well off as he is now. One day,
happening to be in Stroudsburg, he
bought suit of clothes, which he needed
very much, only to find that he did not
have money enough to pay for it. In
his dilemma the wife of the local inn
keeper-a woman, by the way, far
above her station-came to the rescue
and guaranteed the payment of the
tailor's bill. In time Gould paid it.
And now every year the inn-keepsr'a
wife, whose grown-up children have
scattered to the four corners of the
country, receives passes over all the
Gould railroads in order that she may
visit them. have every reason to be-
lieve this fact. Let us give the devil
his due. ii Corr Philadelphia Record.

THE VERY LATEST STYLE OF SMART
Doa.-This story is told of the sagacity
of the dog of Texas gentleman. He
followed his owner to gambling house
recently. 1t is against the rule, but still
the proprietor did not turn him out, 30
he fingered near the poker table. Sud-
denly, when his owner was betting large
ly on three aces, the dog flew at him as
if mad, and bit at his legs and tore his
coat and broke up the game. All threw
down their hands in the melee, andthen
the dogs owner saw that his opponent
had flush. Since that he has refused
offers of large sums from Texas gentle
men OF the strictest honor.

You cannot spend money in luxury
without doing good to the poor. Nay,
you do more good to them by spending
it in luxury than by giving it to them.
You make them exert industry, whereas
by giving it you keep them idle.-[ John
