the other guests would applaud.

subject there was tremendous clapping

The career of the man who raised 81 500,-
900, 600 for the United States government
during the trying times Of the late war is
too well known TO call for an elaborate BIZ
ography here When the war began, money
was urgently needed by the Federal forces,
and Secretary Chase deputized Mr.. Cooke
to secure the first loan of 5000 900 from a
syndicate of bankers For several years he
continued to act as the governments agent,
and millions of bonds were turned over tc
him to be sold. Secretary Fessenden, whc
succeeded Secretary Chase, concluded tc
get along without Mr.. Cookies aid and en-
deavored to raise money for the prosecution
Of the war through the banks Of the coun
try. After several months Of poor success
he called Mr. Cooke to his aid, telling hin
that he bad just been in New York to sci
| sl2 2,000, 900 in bonds, but could not get ar
| offer. Mr.. Cooke took the entire $4,000,
600 on the spot, apportioned the bond
among his friends and shortly after raiset
10000, 900 more for the government in th'
same manner.

1873. which his failure precipitated, but an
cr,yard paid dollar for dollar. He was ais

How Jay Cooke, the World Famous !

How Jay Cooke, the World Famous FL
nancier, Is Ending His Days.
Jay Cooke, the great fnancier, who was
so instrumental in furnishing the sinews
of war to the United States forces during
the late unpieasantness between the north
and SOUTH is happily passing the evening
of his life ut Ogontz, his suburban home
near Philadelphia. He is 10 years of age,
but is a remarkably young patriarch He
is still straight as the proverbial arrow
He is in excellent health. Time has made
even more mellow his genial temperament,
and as his bank account has long since re-
covered from the storm of financial disas-
ter that depleted it in the panic of 1873 the
sunset of life finds him healthy, wealthy
and wise.
Although he owns a 200 acre estate at
Ogontz and a mansion there that cost $780,
600, and although he possesses real estate in
other cities, railroad property in Texas and
a controlling interest in theSt. Louis River
Water Power company, it Is safe to say
that he thinks more of his four children
and his 16 grandchildren than he does of all
his goods and chattels. Sixteen grandchil
dren are a large number to keep track Of
but the old time Napoleon of finance knows
every one of the l6 thoroughly and is never
quite so happy as when he is walking, talk
ing and playing with them.
He has practically retired from active
business, but he passes two hours every
day except Sunday in his Philadelphia of
fee, and the remainder of his time is passed
at home playing billiards or muggins, read

How They Interpret Dreams.

Kate E. Thomas is authority for tia
statement that "if the truth were known
the polite society of Washington would he
astonished to find how many of it's mem
bers are addicted to the harmless but none
the less allurng practice of owning and
in all seriousness consulting eambooks.' =.
For Che most part, as may be surmised,
those who seek to explain the substance of
their dreams and give to them the embodi-
ment of reality by this means are the very
young people of both sexes. The practices
is by no means confined to Juveniles, how
ever, as many clever, thoroughly well edu-
Gated people apparently place credence in
the result of their serious consultations OF
the dreambook. Several young women
prominent in society are accredited with
remarkable powers of divination in this re-
spect and are consulted by their friends on
all occasions.
