This habit of naming boys after
some friend and hanging two 'last"

played out. At least, that is what
M. Sawyer Cook thinks about it. His
baby had the cramps the other night,
and p~aregoric did not seem to have
the slightest effect upon the little
sufferer, SO MI. Cook flew for the doc
tor post haste. He went to the side
window, and the physicians voice
called excitedly, who's there?"
"Sawyer Cook" hurriedly cried the
anxious father.
"saw my cook, did you? Well,
what the deuce do 1 care if you saw
the cook, the chambermaid, the butler
and the stable boy? You let that bell
alone, you loon, or I'll break your

Why Jay Gould w as Justified In ISequestb-s
ing His Fortune He Did
Jay Gould left his great estate to his
children. as might reasonably have been
expected of him. When men accumu-
late money. much or little. il is natural
that they should hand it down to their
children, if they have them. and gener-
ally the public sentiment commends
them for so doing. The feeling that a
man should rightfully look first after
his own household prevails among the
people.
When the estate is rs vast as Mr..
Gould's. however. some newspapers utter
ordinations of surprise and protest If
some of il is not bequeathed for public
purposes or for organized charities. They
seem to proceed on the assumption that
the man is bound 10 take away from his
children money which he himself would
not give up during his life. In other
words. they would require him to fore
his children 20 make bcnefactions which
he himself had not made.
