An old city directory is almost as

there came to light in New York a di-

smart set may study their early ante

Just at present Mrs. Cornelius Van

of the law to make her Mrs. Vanderbilt.
She will have none of the Cornelius

Cornelius doubtless will look disap-
provingly on this action of the great
OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES. The original
cornelius was proud of his name

of the city of New York to paint it in
ull and in large letters so that his
fellow-citizens might read it. Permis-
sion was granted. and the father Of

Wild animal life was abundant in
the United States in 1922. There was
no necessity then for the existence of
protective societies for four-footed
game. The members of the Astor fam
lily should adopt some furred forest
creature as their crest. for a glance at
the ancient volume in hand shows
that three adult Astors of that year
were engaged in skin sales. or. to put
it more elegantly. the sales of skins
in New York city.
There are other M in this book

Cooper is set down as a mason. living

selOr. had an office at Al Nassau street,
which is still a lawyers location. and
his house was at % Reed street. Not

Back in the COS Gov. Nye of Nevada
was an inveterate poker player. One
time while at Saltwater he was play
ing poker in the presence of Capsule,
peace chief Of the Piutes. Capsule
asked the governor to play with him
and the request vas granted. The
play was two bits ante and a dollar
limit. The Indians capital was SIC
and the governor. who cheated outra-
geously. soOn won all the money. Cap
sue then put up his saddle, which
quickly went with his cash. His blan-
ket followed. His pony was staked
and lost. The governors face wore a
wicked smile. Governor" said the
Indian, you got my money. my saddle,
my blanket and my pony; 10Y l bet
you my squaw.' The governors ex-
preston at once became benevolent.
Capsule he explained. Il cannot take
your wife-the paleface does not in
dulge in double blessings of this va
riety; but if you will promise never
to play poker again l will give you
back your money and your property
Capsule was delighted and always after
that told the story to illustrate what
great nan was Gov. Nye.

SAFE SALESMAN is
HELD FOR FORGERY.

The man mentioned below by the
Denver Republican has been a visitor
tC Laramie recently, where he tried to
sell some safes:
J. Moore. alias II. B. Brassington.
who is now confined in the Boulder
county jail. charged with forging the
name of Philip Garretson. agent for the
Diebold Safe and Lock company in
Denver. to checks for various amounts.
objected strenuously to being photo
graphed and measured by the Bertillon
system when he was in Denver in
charge of Sheriff T. j. Sipple of Boul-
der on his way back to Boulder from
San Francisco.
1t is thought by the Boulder sheriff
that Moore is accused of forgery in
New York, as his measurements CORE
| spond with those of a man accused in
that city.
Moore is SO years old. He came to
Denver from Philadelphia several
months ago and secured employment
WIN IulIlp TdfTetSOn. Last April %
Garretson discharged him. At Boul-
der. it is charged. he induced the pro.
prietors of the st. Julian hotel to cash
a check for $50 April %, to which
Garretson's name was forged.
About three weeks ago GarretsCn re-
ceived a letter from Beck & Co.. of
San Francisco, dealers in safes and
locks. asking for information as to one
II. B. Brassington, who said that he
formerly worked for Garretson and
was seeking employment with them.
Garretson concluded that Brassington
and Moore were the same, so he mott.
fed Chief of Police Armstrong, who
t~elegraphed the chief of police of San
Francisco to send a full description Of
Moore. Garretson said that the Den
Yer police refused to spend any money
to bring Moore back. Garretson then
went to Boulder and laid the matter
before Sheriff Sipple. who went him
self to San Francisco.
