GouId's Watered Stock.

Jay Gould was resident Of Rut.
land, VT, for a year or two in the
early fifties, when he was engaged in
the construction of the old Rutland
and Washington Railroad, now a part
OF the Delaware and Hudson system.
and the following anecdote concern
ing him is told by an old citizen Of
that place who was employed by Mr..
Gold at the time.
In the building of the roadbed 1t
was necessary to use dozen or more
teams of oxen for hauling purposes.
One hot day in midsummer the oxen
were suffering greatly from the in.
tense heat, and one animal had sue.
cumbed, when Gould, noticing their
condition, ordered the drivers to take
the cattle to the Castleton River and
cool them with water to avoid further
deaths among them.
This" says the old resident, was
the first instance ever heard of when
Jay Gould watered his stock"

Ways Of Lovely Women.

A Chicago woman mortgaged her
freedom the other day by marriage to
. convict who is beginning an impris-
onment of fourteen years for murder.
Jailers whistled wedding march and
jailbirds flung old shoes after the odd
ly mated couple. The husband went
back to his cell and the wife wandered
out into the world and possibly to Sc
rious reflection. When will psycholo-
gists give us a stable basis upon
which to anticipate the results of the
relationship between a man and a
woman?

Newspapers Came High.

When Cy Warman, the poet OF the
rail-" was travelling through Bonanza
Valley, near Dawson City, a short time
after the discovery Of gold in the
Klondike, he passed young man with
a heavy pack of papers on his back.
Some men were working their claims
near by, up on the slopes of the hills.
Now and then" said Cy Warman.
"the young fellow stopped, put his
hand to the side of his mouth, and
shouted up to the men 'N'Yor-r-k n
S'attle papers!' in orthodox newsboy
style.
81 asked him how he sold them.
Fifty cents for Seattle an dollar for
New York he replied. He had two
hundred papers, and expected to clear
a hundred dollars on the trip, which
would take him three days"

kITE-FLYING IN THE EAST.
In Oriental Countries the Sport Is q
National Pastime.


National Pastime.
Home made kites satisfy the Ameri-
can boy and afford him lots of fun, but
It is strange that he does not invent
an artistic and national kite, such as
they have in Japan, China and Korea,
where all the flyers have meaning.
A figure of an eagle or of Uncle Sam
with his arms outstretched would be
quite imposing.
