Fortunate is the poor man who has wife with an antipathy for moving. It is usually the other way. Her one delight in life is to tear up and move. rt was an Irishman who said when asked where he was moving:
 q don't know, am following the wagon"
 But if signs count for anything the nov ing mania Is not confined to the poor. Some weeks ago it was announced that Charles M. Schwab had grown tired of his Riverside drive palace and wanted to sell 1t. The place was the steel mans dream and it cost him S3 800. GOO, but did not bring happiness. Now 1t Is announced that George Gould wants to sell his mag niflcent country place at Lakewood Georgian Court, one of the finest in Amer ioa.
 The cost of the place in the beginning was estimated at $7,ooo, 900, but $500, 900 more than this was probably spent before the family moved in. Some of the fea- lures of the estate are the athletic house which includes a riding ring, a gymna- sium, a swimming pool and indoor tennis courts, a $6o. 900 electric fountain, bronze figure in a bronze car madly driv- ing a pair of marble horses and two great marble groups dating back to the reign of Louis XIV, masterpieces of Girardon, the greatest sculptor of the period
 Mrs. Gould, who was Edith Kingdom the actress. never cared for the country place, having lived there to give her children the benefit of the fresh air. MT. Gould is fond of the rough life of the west and it is said that he Is acquiring a vast hunting preserve in Colorado.
 There are hundreds, yes thousands. of good stories in New York, if one only had the knack of getting at them. The other night a man was dining in Jacks the famous all-night restaurant. You hase never heard of Jacks? We'll you haven't seeen New York yet. Your visit is not complete until you have spent night in Jacks. But to go on with the story. The man In question was attended by a ruddy checked Irish waiter. There was nothing strange in this bare fact except that the waiter was uncommonly competent, but all the walters in Jacks know their business. At last the diner got into conversation with the man who was serving him and then came the story. It would take too long to repeat if as the waiter-Thomas Sexton-told it. But boiled down 1t Is something like this:
 Many years ago, as we count time now adays, Thomas left his home in County Cavan, Ireland, and came to America to make his fortune. The first job he got was in Jacks and, as the money there Is at night, he soon got himselI switched from the day shift. Oddly enough he was assigned to a corner of the dining room where race track men usually had their late lunches. Sexton heard lots of talk about race horses and he picked up some tips-tips that won him money Pretty soon relative died and left him S4ooo With this money Thomas bought A race horse called Ostrich and began to burn up the bookmakers He bought more horses and it wasn't long before he had a bank roll of half a million dollars Then luck began to turn and that half million slipped away as easy as 1t had come. That's why my friend had the

excellent services of Thomas Sexton when he dined in Jacks the other night. Thomas is back at his old job. He is just as cheerful and ambitious as ever. Says he will make another fortune soon and then go back to Ireland.
