Jay Gould's Waistcoat.

A young friend of George Gould was
dining with the family. Conversation
turned on tricks, and the young friend
said he could take off mans vest
without removing his coat. He ex-
plained that feat. which consists OF
working the vest down themarms by
gradually coaxing the shoulders
through the armholes. Then the vest
can be removed BY slipping ii or under
the coat sleeves. Dexterity and pa
tience are required. The young man
was positive he was the only one pres
ent,who could do it. Mr.. Gould listen-
ed to the explananation aud said that
any man could do it, and that he could
do it on the spot. The caller was zeal.
ously anxious to bet his modest pile o.
Rainst an equal sum to be rut UP by
the millionaire; but the latter advised
him not to be any more than N big ap-
pie, as he would be sure To lose 10.
Mr. Gould 5hereupon proceeded to per
form the elusive act. ne first took OF
his coat.
Hold on. sir said the young man ;.
that is not permitted; it is barred.
L understand that. replied the BAN
ker: IN put on the coat again. I'm on
ly getting ready
Then he took off his vest and at once
put on his coat, and succeeded 10 with
putting on his vest outside his OF coat.
Pm at your service now he quietly
said.
The. young man lost an apple but
gained verifcation Of the important
truth that there is more than one way
of doing thing. In his own style
there Is no greater lover OF qniet fun
than Jay Gould. d.-Brooktyn Eagle.

Christmas Carols.

In Shakespeare time carols were
sung in the streets during Christina s
by waits or watches, who expected to
receive gifts for their singing. Many a
writer of olden times and ndcustomsref ers
to the wakeful "sketches of Chri stmas
eve." 1t was after the Reformation
that they ceased to sing Latin hymns in
the churches and substituted the sweet
Christmas carols in vogue-those of
devotional nature, which were sung
not only in the churches, but also
through the streets, from house to
house upon Christmas eye, and even af-
ter that morning and evening until the
twelfth day.
In those times men were able to spare
more than one blief day for the celebra-
tion of Christmas, and kept up the fes-
tiyal for at least twelve days. Other
carols were of a llyelier nature, and
were especially adapted to the revel and
the feast where the lord of misrGle had
potent sway. The carols were also
called wassail songs, and probably orig
mated among the Anglo-Normans,
who were of convail nature. No
Christmas enter tainment was complete
without the joyous singing of carols,
and thence came the motto, "No song,
no SUPPER" for every guest at the table
was expected to join in the carol. One
of the rules laid down by the ancient
customs was that 1.-THE ancient master
of the revel is, after dinner and supper.

mand other. gentlemen present to sing

Lovers Lost in A Blizzard.
They went Out to Ride and Were
Rescued Nearly Dead

A Bismarck I'd. IT, dispatch says:
During the storm the other night John
Williams and Miss Annie Bartrom Of
Mercer county were lost while out for a
ride, and were rescued when nearly
dead. The young couple started for
a ahouse-warming about ten miles dis
tant from their homes, but instead of
going to the dance they drove past the
house, preferring to enjoy their love-
making. The storm of wind and sleet
struck them about IL O'Clock, and the
atmosphere was piercingly cold and
damp. The horses were blinded by the
storm and left the road. For several
hours they wandered about on the
prairie. and not until they fell over the
embankment into Kulfe River did the
couple know where they were The
landmarks on the river bank were fa-
miliar, and taking their bearings they
drove to the house for which they
started, having to so about tour miles
with their clothing transformed into
ice. For several minutes after their
arrival at the party they were unable to
speak. and it took strenuous efforts and
the best of care TO resuscitate them.

The Cost of the First Pens.

Only few years ago BuIWer put into
the mouth of his dramatic creation
'Richelieu" these pregnant words:
s'The pen is mightier than the swordl'
In the short time which has since elaps-
ed these words have acquired a new
truth and new application: the pen
has conquered the sword In the tie Id Of
commerce, as completely as it had for
merly triumphed In the fields OF high
policy and worldly government. Tbs
little ciyilizer Gas it may well be- calledl
is now in every hand, but within the
memory OF many men still living the
steel pen was simply a curious and
costly toy, noticeable as an ingenious
mechanical fad, but not at all as an in
vention likely to come into practical
use. The earliest form Of the article
was certainly not promising. A piece
of sheet steel was bent into tubular
form, aud cut or filed away to immitate
the shape of quill pen. the junction OF
the two edges forming she nib. which,
of course, extended all up the back OF
the pen. These were known as early as
1910, but were regarded as articles de
a,Ere, to be given away az presents, and
not for use. They were highly polish
ed. perhaps gilt or silvered, and sold for
as much as five shillings each. In 1924,
Mr.. James Perry, the founder OF sys-
tenn of education once famous as the
Perry" system took up the steel pen
as practical invention, and by indon1-
liable energy overcame the difficulties
in its construction and the objections
to is use. He patented several varie-
ties and spared no expense TO attain
perfection. His brother informed Mr.
Samuel Timmins, of Birmingham. that
he paid seven shillings per pound for
his steel, and five shillings per pen
the first workman he employed, and
that for years afterward the price giY-.
en- to his workman was thirty-six shii-
lings per gross.

MIR. Vanderbilt's Wealth.

Mr.. Vanderbilt's wealth is believed
by those who should know to aggregate
ABOUT $3.50, 900. The Duke of
Westminster is said to be worth $500,
OOO, 900, but Mr.. Vanderbilt was rich
er man, because the Dukes money
earns him only about 2 per cent, but
Mr.. Vandercilt's averaged him nearly
double that. Mr.. Vanderbilt is said to
have been the richest man in the world.
Last year he held $4,000, 900 Of four
per cent. bonds, and later he reduced
this amount to $50 100000 of govern
ment three and half per cents. His
government bonds were worth almost
$75,O00,O 0,O00 AT one time he owned
100000 shares of Michigan Central, 300,
600 shares of Northwestern and 2OO,OOO
shares of Lake shore. He sold very
much of his Lake Shore lately, and
owned at his death about $4,000 shares.
In addition he had 10000 Chicago and
Rock Island, 10000 Delaware and
Lackawanna, 100 600 Philadelphia and
Reading, and about 10000 shares in
other roads, making in all about $50,
600 shares of railway stock; also So,
600 900 worth of railroad bonds ,$3 200,
600 of state and city bonds and $1,000,
900 in various manufacturing stocks
and mortgages. He valued his house
on Fifth avenue, with its art treasures,
at 8 100000.
His ordinary household expenses were
100000 year. In 1884 he gave ball
that cost $40 900. He loved horses and
was q good judge of horsefesh. He
sold Maud S. for $4,000. Although
his fortune shrank last year materially
through big decline in stocks and
through business depressionSthe recent
bull movement of the past few months
brought it up again.
His income was calculated asfollows:
$2,372 900 a year from Government
bonds; 81 ,304 900 from railroad stocks
and bonds; $576 ,695 from miscellaneous
securities; total, over $40, 900, 900 a year,
or $2S 900 day, 81 200 an hour or $40.
rs minute. He made no ostentatious
display of his wealth and was charita-
BILE, although in this he had TO be quiet
or he would haYe been oYerrnn by i'm
posters. He was shrewder in business
than many supposed he was: he knew
enough to sell 25O,OOO shares of New
York Central five years ago at 12O and
buy governments at par.

Jennie, attired in neat new honse
dress, was the embodiment Of beauty

Harry, who Immediately engrossed her
attention; and a queen indeed was she,
for over his heart she reigued in undis-
puted sway, governing a subject in no
way averse to submitting to any sweet
Tyranny.
After seating themselves at the
table, the old lawyer, with tears in his
eyes, invoked the Divine blessing, after
which he began to speak. The gruff-
ness was all gone. and he spoke in a
kind, satisfied tone.
''This, dear friends" said he, lis

Mrs. Moore was sobbiug in the law

the old mans eyes.
They were indeed twin brother and
sister, and joyful was that fiftieth an

Harry and Jennie witnessed this
strange scene In speechless wonder.
Jennie was the first to recover.
1.-THE prophecy has proven true,'
she cried. "Dear uncle, I am so glad
