strength. One of his favorite feats
was to back under a piano and then
rise, lifting it on its feet. He was once

being introduced to the ladies on this
occasion Mr.. Gould broke an embar-

Ladies, I'll bet 500 kin lift the
pianner," which he then proceeded to
do.
Another incident related of Tom
Gould indicates that he was strong on

the Sans Souci earlier than usual, and
the next day on meeting his nephew,
whom he left in charge. he said:

Keep Your Temper.

The unwFitten laws both OF society
and good manners are innumerable,
but there = one that we cannot pass
over In silence, and that is-never lose
your temper. This applies especially
when playing games. To lose ones
temper in private is bad enough, but
to do SO In public is objectionable. 1t
is a crime which no hostess can for
give. for it makes all the other guests
feel uncomfortable and disturbs that
outward calm which is the essence Of
all good society.
