Mr.. Gould was piece OF machinery. As he
advanced in the scrnce OF making money he
got rid of all surrlusnge. and stood at last
revealed distinct and beautiful piece Of
man. but might almost shy he WAS an I'M

may sny to You also that Gould never made
any money. IN my opinion. In speculation. I
think that his sreculGtions would not even up
