AMONG MEN OF MEANS.

J.P. Morgan, George Gould and Cor nelius Vanderbilt have been elected members of a society of fnumismatists.' They are understood to have mastered another form of coin collecting.
 In the brief period when he is not engaged in fixing up billion-dollarc com pines Pierpont Morgan occasionally cracks joke. He was showing some friends through his kennels. and one of them expressed great admiration for an imported setter. "Yes, he's a fine dog. His name is Russell Sage.' How did you come to give him that name?" "Well. he never losss . scent"
 Justice William L. Putnam, of the United States circuit court of appeals, in Portland. Ore, recently fell into conversation with a young man of the nouveaux riches who expressed astonshment that the judge could get along on his salary of $6,OOO year. Why" said the purse-proud youth, it easily costs me twice that amount to live year." The judge answered, gravely: "It isn't worth it, George; it isn't worth it."
 Young Cornelius sVanderbiltis is becom. ing quite favorite with other work men in the Mott Haven shops, of the New York Central railroae. IL Is not uncommon to see him lying on his back among coal dust and cinders in- speeding the construction of a locomo- tive fire box. Grimy-faced engineers and firemen like to chat with the young millionaire. not so much because he is his fathers son. but because he is a good mechanic and understands the topics they like to discuss.
 Among the stories being told of the late Cecil Rhodes is this: When talk ing leave of the German emperor after several interviews in relation to Af- rica. his majesty said: 'I wish you were German. Mir. Rhodes. for then l would ask you to become my minis ter"of foreign affairs" The kaiser was somewhat startled at this characteris- tically blunt reply: If your majesty were only an Englishman. would have suggested that you come to South Af- rica with me and become my business manager"

How tO Avoid Trouble.

A young cock saw Q weathercock on top of the house, and, thinking him a rival, began growing fercely.
 "1f you keep on making a noise like that" said the old bird. they'll wiring your neck for you"
 The young cock looked thoughtful.
 '~Take example by me. I've got a tong and have been looked up to for hall a century by simply keeping my bill shut and turning with the wind"
 The moral is adelphia North American.
