Jay Goulds WaistcOat.

brooklyn L2gIe
A young friend Of George Gould was dining
with the family. Conversation turned on tricks,
and the young friend said he could take off q
mans vest without removing his coat He ex-
planned that feat. which consists of working the
vest down the arms by gradually coaxlng the
shoulders through the armholes. Then the vest
can be removed by slipping it off under the coat
sleeves. Dexterity and patience are required
The young man was positive he was the only
one present who could do it, Mr.. Gould listened
to the explanation and said that any man could
do it, and that he could do it on the spot. The
caller was jealousy anxious to bet his modest
pile against an equal sum to be put up by the
millionaire but the latter advised him not to bet
any more than big apple, as he would be sure
to lose it. Mr.. Gould thereupon proceeded to
perform the elusive act. He first took off his
coat
Hold on, SIR" said the young man, 'that is
not permitted; it is barred"
Il understand that" replied the banker; 'I'll
put on the coat again. I'm only getting ready"
Then he took off his vest and at once put on
his coat, and succeeded it with putting on his
vest outside Of his coat.
I'm at your service now" he quietly said.
The young man lost an apple, but gained a
verification of the important truth that there is
more than one way of doing thing In his own
style there is no greater lover of quiet fun than

A Mean Speculation.

Il have memorial here which would like to
sell you" said peddler to lady whose door
bell he had rung in Brooklyn yesterday. He
held up an engraved memorial surrounded by a
cheap frame. 1t had been got up in memory
of a little child of the lady, who had died few
weeks before.
How did you know had lost a child!" she
asked.
''Oh, saw it in the papers," was the reply.
THAT is where we got the age and other infor-
nation required"
'Its good thing" said the man to re-
porter. I'VE look over all the newspapers and
cut out the notices of the deaths of children.
After two or three weeks, when we think that
the grief of the parents has passed over some
what, we get up a memorial and take it around.
1t is solely on our own responsibility that we do
it, and we must run the risk of not selling.
Sometimes people are indignant when we APP
proach them, but as general thing they buy.
We sell them at So apiece, to be paid at the rate
of 80 cents week. Now, between you and my
self, they cost us about 81 each"

A Plea for Suffering Man.



Women are accustomed to wear in summer
only one thickness of cotton or linen over their
shoulders and that of the thinnest materials;
yet only the workingmen have the courage to
appear in their shirt-seeves on the sidewalk. 1t
is quite time some of our practical tailors under
took to make the habiments of man as light and
yet presentable as those of women are in sum-
mer out of doors. The smock frock of the last
century plough boy was both shirt and outer
garment and the Office or work shop toilet of a
man in his shirt-seeves only needs trifng
modification to give him the same ease and COM
fort, when he goes out to lunch or takes his hot
morning way down town Victims of wardrobes
know now how cool they may become when the
tyranny of vested privileges is cast off.

y. BONNER'S HOBBY.
An Old Horseman Says the Millionaire Is a
Crank on the Subject of Horseshoeing.

Philadelphia Times.
Robert Bonner probably owns more good
horses than any other man in the world, said
an old turfman located at Belmont Park yester-
day, and in courtesy, [ suppose, will have to
grant that he knows as much about horsefesh
as the next man. In one point, however, he is a
crank and that's on the subject of shooting. It's
a matter of wonder to every hOrseman that
knows his hobby that he hasn't made Maud S. a
helpless cripple since she has been in his
possession. To show you that this is not
an exaggeration I will tell you an actual
occurrence that took place on last Tuesday
when he visited the mare here, That was the
day before she was sent to Cleveland. Mr.. Bon
reached the park early in the morning, in
company with his horseshoer, whom he employs
by the year. and who is as close to him as
his valet. No matter where Mr.. Bonner goes
his horseshoer is always within beck and call.
Well, Mr. Bonner and his horseshoer drove d-
rectly to the park. The mares feet underwent
a critical inspection and Mr.. Bonner declared
that her shoes must be changed. They were
pulled off and then began the process of shoeing
the Queen of the American Turf This con
sisted, in the first place, of taking impression
mered until it exactly fitted the impression, and
then the delicate part of the work began, which
consisted Of leveling the shoe off on slab of
marble, which is always included in the trap.
pings that are carried around the country with
her. This was a tedious process and was closely
superinted by Mr.. Bonner. The shoe was filed
here and there until there was not hairs
breadth difference between any two points of
the surface Then the shoe was fitted to the
hoof and finally nailed on.
Mr. Bair then logged her around the track
while Dir Bonner timed her from the portico of
the Park Hotel At the completion of the second
mile he ordered her back into the stable and
made another critical examination of her feet.
The new shoes did not suit him. and he ordered
her re-shod The Same tedious process was
gone through with as before. | mean that it
was tedious to horsemen that witnessed it, but
Mr.. Bonner seemed to take keen delight in
experimenting the shoeing of the little mare
That day she was shod twice, and during the
week before she was shod four times. He carries
this passion for shoeing to an excess with all his
horses but not to the same extent with the
other animals as with Maud S.
at is a wonder among horsemen that he has
not ruined her feet long before this. 1t was an
open secret among turfmen that when he en-
ployed Bar as his driver. he made contract
with him to give the complete control of the
mare into his hands SO far as training con-
cerned, but stipulated that the shoeing should
all be done under his personal supervision. You
can bet that Mr. Bonner and his sheer will be in
Cleveland before the meeting on the Goth and
that the little lady will have to undergo another
siege at their hands"

One singular argument in favor of enlargng
the Erie canal is that there would result an i'm
provement in the quality of boatmen, as they
would have to know enough to manage steam

argument is that man who might have the
capacity to run a mule could not run steam
