printed attack by the statement OF
one Of his friends that, while the ar
ticle would probably drive the man
into obscurity, as Mr.. Gould hoped 1t
would, it also would probably cause
the public to feel great resentment in
the end against the bringer of such
unwelcome news, in which animus
would unquestionably be discerned.
THAT was something which Mr..
Gould had not taken into account.
Nor had he thought what the effect of
such an article might be on his f.
nancial schemes. His sole idea was
to help good friend who, he be-
lieved, was facing a most serious dan
ger Later on, when his anger had
cooled and he had regained his usual
control of his temper, he admitted
that he probably would have done the
wrong thing had he persisted in hav-
ing the article published; and from
that time on to the day of his death
he was more than ever convinced of
the great danger there Is in doing
anything in the heat of passion

Jay Gould's victories was that which

Ola friend of the family to me at the
time OF the little wizards death in
1892. In its natural state his was q
nost unruly temper. Unmastered, IL
would undoubtedly have led him into
all sort of embarrassing situations
ana to my mind, seriously imperilled
the success Of his aims in life. But
more Than once / have heard Russell
sage say-and he certainly knew
mat Mr.. Gould was the most even
tempered man with whom he had ever
peen brought into business associa-
ton.
indeed, SO complete was Mr.. Could

the better of him. Then, curiously
enough, Mr.. Gould got boiling mad in

lengths he would have let his fury
carry him.
one day there came to Mr.. Gould's
ears report that to this, his friend
and business associate, second friend
and business associate was acting so
disloyally that there was grave dan
ger OF an unfortunate domestic dis
turbance. Conduct of this sort was
the one thing that Mr.. Gould could
not forget or forgive, and instantly
the bounds that he had kept for SO
many years on his temper burst and
his rage became truly terrifying.
His one thought, then, was to
drive the alleged disloyal friend out
OF reputable business and social asso-
Citations. To this end, and while his
fury was at its height, he had pre-
pared bitter, vitriolic article which
purported to narrative of various
private episodes in this mans life

The WONDERBERRY
OR SUNBERRY
Has Proved a Great success-Thou.
sands Say It's the Best Thing
They Ever Grew.

The Wonderberry or Sunberry, the
marvellous garden fruit originated by
Luther Burbank, and introduced by
John Lewis Childs, the well-known
Scotsman of Floral Park, N. Y, has
proved a great success all over the
country. Thousands of people say it
is the best thing they ever grew.
Mr.. John Burroughs, the well-known
author, Naturalist and bosom-friend of
Theodore Roosevelt, says it is the
most delicious pie berry he ever tasted,
and a marvellous cropper.
A Director of the New York Agricul-
tural Experiment Station says it fruits
abundantly even in pure sand. In the
short season of Northwestern Canada
it is godsend, and fruits long after
frost has killed most garden truck.
d. s. Hall, Wichita, Kan, says thirty
people grew it there last season with
perfect satisfaction.
K. S. Enochs, Hammond, La, says
1t yields $3.50 worth of fruit per
acre with him. Mrs. ]. H. Powers,
1872 Kenwood avenue, Chicago, raised
enough berries on a space 4x10 feet
to supply herself and friends.
j. P. Swallow, Kenton, Ohio, says it's
equal for all purposes does not exist.
Rev. H. B. Sheldon, Pacific Grove,
CAL, says he likes the berries served
in any and every way.
w. T. Davis, Enon, Va, says it is
true to description in every way, and
fruits in three months from seed.
Judge Morrow, of u S. Circuit
Court, says the Wonderberry is simply
delicious raw or cooked.
Mr.. Childs exhibited one plant five
months old bearing 10,375 berries
which measured about eight quarts.
Mrs. Hattie Vincent, Hayden, New
Mexico, says it stands the long, hard
droughts of that climate and fruits
abundant1y all summer
It is certainly the most satisfactory
garden fruit and the greatest Novelty
ever introduced.

Fraudulent Prcmissory Note Case In
Which Abe Was Concerned

Business Methods.

First as a Justice of the Supreme
Court of the United States from 1862
to 1877, and then as a senator from
is, who presided over the senate fol-
lowing the accession Of Chester A.
Arthur to the presidency, was for
many years prominently in the eye of
the country. But long after his name
has been forgotten as that of Su-
preme court Judge or a United States
senator, 1t will be remembered as that
of the judge before whom Lincoln
tried his cases when he rode the cir
cult of Illinois. The histories of Lin
coins life are full of anecdotes telling
Of Judge Daviss partially of Lin
coin and of his eagerness to hear Lin
coins stories when the days work
was over.

Washington when he was senator
from Illinois, and at the time that

ait was a case with which Mr.. Lincoln
was connected that had very impor
taut effect upon my methods of doing
business?
"This particular case involved the
non-payment of promissory note.
The note itself was in evidence and
the defendant admitted that the sig
nature on it was his. But he denied
ever having written the body of the
note. He also swore that he could
not explain how it had got into the
hands of the man who was suing up
on it.
1T was not an uncommon practice
for business men to sign notes in
blank, which their partners might
utilize, and that would explain the
difference between the handwriting in
the signature and in the body of the
note. 1t was written upon ordinary
letter paper-and that was not uncom-
mon In those days-but noticed that
the strip of paper used was much mar
rover than that usually employed in
making out notes. Upon closer ex-
animation it looked to me as though

1t was customary for Perkins, on

balls. Being a clever chap, he was a

to spend the whole day disposing of
pressing business matters.

usual, were awaiting him on the

getting from the railroad station to
the office, and you can imagine my
surprise when tell you that for three
full hours he engaged me in the pleas.
ATTEST sort of social chat imaginable,
utterlng never word about business.
Busy though he was-I could see the
work piled up on his desk-he dropped
1t all to spend the better part of the
afternoon in genial and cosby con-
versation with me, and l returned
home the next day without his hav-

While we were engaged in this to
me puzzling conversation, the door to
Mr.. Harriman's room opened and in
the doorway was framed the huge
bulk of Mr.. Julius Kruttschnitt, the
man on whom Mr.. Hartman depended

and operation of his Union and South
ern Pacific systems.
What are you doing here? he
cried, sharply.
Well began Mr.. Kruttschnitt, I

matters of Importance and while was
here l thought it would be well to call

with never a word in reply.
THAT was the imperious Harri-
mantle Hartman who had to have
some way of easing his nerves; and
his lieutenants-the men who were
close to him-understood this and act
ed accordingly.
But the way in which Mr. Hartman
stuck to his aims, and his work in
particular, interested me most of all.
Il had been president Of one of his
minor transportation enterprises for
some little time when he shot at me
in the midst of strictly business con-
ference: How would you like to be
president Of real railroad-not a toy
one, such as you now head?'
why, Mr.. Hartman I answered,
jokingly, I didn't know you were
thinking of retiring from the presi-
dency of the Union Pacific.

Story of Davis and Lincoln

the bit Of paper had been cut off the
bottom of sheet of writing paper,
letter size. I had an expert-a watch
maker, think--make microscopical
examination of the upper edge of the
note and he testified that In his opin-
ion the paper had been cut off the
bottom of sheet of paper with a pair
of scissors.
"As result / asked the defendant
to produce several letters which he
had written. Then l discovered that
in each case he had placed his sig
nature at the bottom of the page, sew
eral inches below the bottom of the
latter itself, leaving plenty of space
on which note could have been writ
ten above his signature, Various rep
utable witnesses had testified as to
the defendants good character and
integrity, so / gave him the benefit
of the doubt and decided the case in
his favor. Afterwards l learned the
name of the man who had got hold
of one of the defendants letters, cut
off the signature and on the two
inches of blank paper above it writ
ten in the note, which he has sold, the
defendants credit being excellent.
well, this case set me to thinking.
I realized that frequently signed my
name considerable space below the
bottom of a letter or document. It
might not be easy to prove, if some
one cut off my signature and filled
in the blank paper above it with
note or something, that the document
was fraudulent one. So decided to
make radical change in my methods
of writing, and from that day to this
l have always written from one edge
of the paper to the other, both across
and down, and whenever l sign my
name to a document, I place it SO
close to the last line of the text that
it all but runs into it, making any
interlineation between text and sigma
ture impossible. And any interlinea-
ton elsewhere is made impossible by
the fact that I cover the page comp
pletely with my writing, and write
the lines as close to one another as
legibility will permit.
This is the method I followed all
the time ] was on the Supreme bench.
and all the time l have been in the
senate, and l recommend it as a good
rule for any business man to adopt"
