Lady Francis Cook, or Tennessee
Tennie C.-Claflin, as she is known in
this country, has again set all London
talking about her.
The sign Lady Cook & Co., Brokers
adorns London's Wall street, and her
ladyship goes to her office every day at
one and remains till four, directing her
brokers.
A representative of this newspaper
called to see Lady Cook the other day,
and had very pleasant conversation
with her.
Il am not in the business for fun, by
any means" said Lady Cook, laughing
ly, when asked why she had gone into
stocks. Il am here to make money
millions and millions"

he HAD HIS SPORT.
But He Had to PAY Wen for It, Includ-
ing q lawyer

800 - 1855 ~ = - ~ I'll AOE III xMCAUQ-
ing Lawyer.
In Washington county, New York
State, for some reason, little restraint
Las been placed upon the fishermen in
the way of enforcing the game laws.
The waters OF the county have been
fished in any and every way, and it
has been not uncommon for some three
to a dozen nets to be set at a time in
any one OF the lakes. Various persons
have been constantly on the watch that
they might capture not only fish, but
nets.
Not long ago a young man from
Cambridge, n. Y, borrowed three nets
and drove to a lake about six miles
north of Cambridge, where he set them.
He had to wait several hours for his
catch, and to while away the time he
asked one of the farmers who lived on
the shore of the lake If he lad a tur-
key he could shoot, stating that he
would be willing to pay ten cents a
pound for it, live weight. The turkey
was brought out and he was shot at
repeatedly without success. a small
boy of the house, who had been watch
ing the efforts of the would-be sports
man with great interest, could stand it
no longer and said:
Say, mister, l can shoot that turk
the first time
I'll bet you dollar you can't said
the young man, forking out a dollar
bill as he spoke.
The lad, with mischief in his eye,
brought out from the house an old
rusty rife, took aim at the turkey Ind
shot it dead, thus capturing the dollar.
The weight OF the turkey was ten
pounds, and another dollar was paid
for it's carcass.
The young mans thirst for sport was
not yet abated, however, and spying
some ducks in the lake, he made the
farmer the same offer of ten cents a
pound live weight for the ducks The
offer was accepted, and with great glee
and considerable accuracy Of aim five
of the ducks were brought to grief. AS
he prepared to gather in the trophies
of This skill a boat shot out from the
other shore containing an irate man
with murder in his eye.
Say, young feller," he called out,
what in the name of hell are you
shooting my ducks for?"
Totally discounted and not knowing
what to reply, the young man turned
to the farmer, who burst out into a
loud guffaw of enjoyment.
well, I'm darned," he said, slap
ping his knee with vehemence, ''if you
haven't gone and shot the wrong
ducksi"
What was to be done? In vain did
the young man offer the angry duck
owner a dollar apiece for his fowls. He
would accept no offer and make no
terms, excepting through his attorney,
who lived in Salem, about eight miles
from the lake. In disgust the young
man turned to his nets, hoping at any
rate, to get some satisfaction there,
and found to his astonishment that
the nets were gone.
A sadder man than when he started
out for his afternoon sport, he returned
to his home in Cambridge. He notified
his lawyer, and the case with the owner
of the ducks was settled for $15. On
figuring up the costs of this afternoons
sport he found that the expense had
been as follows:
Settling for five ducks. SIS 90
One turkey observation-disclosures. w
Three nets, at $3.50 ............ 90

In the summer these children live at
Seabright, where their father is presi-

where they have a magnificent villa
overlooking the Shrewsbury river. Hot
days they go yachting, and if the
weather is very warm their father takes
them On a cruise. A year ago they went

There are five of the Gould children.
The three oldest are kingston, Jay and
Marjorie. Then comes George, Jr., and
Vivian, who are mere babies. These
children are very democratic young
sters, for they know better, not hav-
ing yet learned the value of wealth.
Little Jay, the one who is seated, has a
fine temper of his own, and soundly
rated a groom at the Horse Show for
riding his pony in a clumsy way.
Their father looks after their worldly
interests remarkably well, and, it is
said, sets aside certain amount of
stock each year for each individual
child.
