Yerkes will begin simultaneously, and meantime, while the wagers at New York clubs are laid about evenly as to his success or failure, he Is making every prep aratton toward hattering down tho doors of metropolitan society and of securing a foothold within it's hallowed precincts. Ho has bcon trying to get into Chicago society for some time, but has evidently failed.

Its walls seem to be mass of goldon dollars, and you regard it as a colossal golden strong box for the holding of previous gems and all things that money will buy.
