second son Of Cornelius, Sr. He gradu-

Speaking Of him II Of the most init

fred Gwynne never gave his father Il
single moment Of serious uneasiness.
He has been an average boy Of the
best sort. Throughout his college ca
reer at Yale he was universally popu-
lar. He spent money freely, but he
was never ostentatious. He was not
trained like Cornelius, Jr., to assume
the responsibility of managing the
estate. Very likely Mr.. Vanderbilt re-
Trained purposely from imposing this
burden upon his light-hearted son
whose spirits seemed at variance with
business restraints, while those of Cor
nelius, Jr., seemed to invite them. AL
fred Gwynne Is thoroughly democratic.
In personal appearance he is tall, dark
and slender. He has a graceful. easy
hammer and charming brown eyes. He
likes to enjoy himself. Those who
know him say that he would much
rather that his brother, to whom he is
very devoted, should receive the great
est part of the millions, with the re-
sponsibility they entail. But there is
no telling how responsibility may de-
velop him. There is wonderful stuff
in the Vanderbilts.

is the largest tax ever paid by n

A BRIGHT DOG.


10 Buried tho First Note, but Delivered
tho Second.
The most intelligent dog in Phoenix
is a brown spaniel owned by the Chi
nese proprietor of the Garden City res
taurant. One Of the dogs duties is to
make a daily trip to Chinatown with
Il basket containing a note. On the
last day 1t rained he Vas dispatched
on his usual errand. and his owner
noticed an unwillingness to go out into
the wet. But the dog started, walked
slowly up the street, now and then
stopping and turning around. At last
he went on without looking back. The
Chinaman watched to see him cross the
street to the city hall plaza. but he
didn't cross. His owner started after
the dog and saw him stand in q
state Of indecision under the awning
in front of Goldberg Bros store.
Finally the dog set the basket down,
took the note out, carried it into the
street and covered 1t with mud. He
buried 1t with great care. The China
mar returned to the restaurant and got,
a club, for a Chinaman has neither q
sense of humor 0 appreciation Of
brute Intelligence. Pretty soon the,
dog returned wagging his tail as II his
conscience were easy. The Chinaman
seized him by the collar and pounded
the hair off of him in spots. Then no
wrote another note and put 1t into the
basket. The dog picked 1t up and;
bounded out of the door. Mud and rain
were nothing to him now. He started
for Chinatown by tho most direct
route, and ten minutes later returned
with an honest wag Of the tail, which
really merited approbation.-Arizona

BERNHARDT AND PATTI,
Why Dressmakers Who Love Peace Like
Women of No Taste.

'SN
when a woman is amiablc, sweet
tempered and easily pleased. as far as
her dressmaker is concerned, you can
make up your mind that she has no
taste and depends entirely upon her
cOuturiere for advice and guidance"
said a very well-known gown-builder
recently to a New York Commercial
Advertiser man. Il have been making
gowns for women of all tastes and
positions and dispositions for many
years, and | have never known it to
fail that the woman of unusual taste,
who has an artistic temperament and
a sense of beauty, is not IN easy per-
son to work for, nor do her dress
makers delight to work for her, as II
is often told. Bernhard and Patti are
illustrations Of this popularity. The
divine Sara has driven more dress
makers to suicide than the world will
ever know. She is untiring, ~tyrannical
and tempeStuouS. She knows what she
wants and will brook no interference.
