Ever hear the story why the late w
H Vanderbilt paid odd change for Maud
SHAT is, why the sum was 81 900, in
stead of say $4,000 or S25.GO0?' inquired
a well known horseman. There is an
interesting story back of that which has
never been printed, and as I had it from
Mr. Vanderbilt himself, I'll bet a red
apple it is all right.
THE sum which Mr.. Vanderbilt was TO
pay CAPTAIN George Z. Stone of Cincin-
natl for Maud S was an even 81, 200. Be
fore the mare was delivered, Captain
Stone is supposed to have rued his bar.
gain. Anyway. he wrote TO Mr.. Wander
bilt that he had promised 10 give Barr,
the trainer of Maud S, 81 600 as homo
rarium, and he thought Mr. Vanderbilt
ought to add this to what he was to pay.
The presumption is that Stone thought
this marking up OF the price would break
the bargain. One thousand dollars wasn't
much for d man like MIR. Vanderbilt, but
that little ruse made him just as mad
as if ii had taken the last cent he had
on earth But he was something Of a
David HaTum himself, and knew a good
piece of horsef1esh when he saw it. and
when he sent Captain Stone his check
or the mare it was for $1,000 instead Of
$20,00o.
That's part of the story, but only the
least interesting. Afterward, when Cap
tain Stone headed a syndicate TO buy
11auu Ddch from AlL- Nduu6tulilf duu
was willing 20 pay $4,000 for her, the
big railroad man still remembered the
81 goo transaction, and the Cincinnati peO-
Dle could not have bought the mare if
they had offered S1.000.000 for her. OF
course, when Mr.. Vanderbilt sold her to
Robert Bonner for $4,000. when he had
been offered 100000 there was a good
deal said about his desire to get the phe-
nOmenal trOtter in the hands of a man
who would take care of her. The fact
Is that Mr. Vanderbilt was willing to
sacrifice $4,000 to even up matters with
Mr.. Stone. And if this was expensive
revenge for Mr.. Vanderbilt II was even
more expensive for Stone. for If he could
have repurchased Maud at that time
he could have cleaned up $4,000 with
her -

the English, Russians, Germans, etc,

first thing an American bred woman
demands are her comforts and con-
veniences IN housekeeping, and she has
obstinately refused to accept the
French substitute for these. All the
electric lights in private houses. the
elevators in apartment buildings and
hotels, the improved plumbing, the
pantry ice chests and electric bells now
to be seen so frequently in Paris are
due to that same American woman

she took up pianOforte work. and al
though her ability as a pianist is rare,
it is in the former that she excels. Two
years ago Miss Clark seized an oppor-

old friends were familiar, forms a
