Notn Cabinet. me place ne ueslreU was that of secretary of interior No definite promise had been made. but Judd felt confident that his services would entitle him to a place
 He and Kreismann stopped at the old Willard hotel in Washington The inauguration was over, three or fonr members of the cabinet had been an- nounced and MT. Judd had heard noth. ing from the White House. Nor had he gone near the White House
 He and kreismann were together in Judd's room one afternoon. Some one knocked and Judd said: Come in," Mir. Lincoln came into the room After he had shaken hancs. Kreis. mann started to leave Don't 20. Kreismann, for I want you to hear what l have to say"
 MT. Lincoln turned to Judd .T could sleep better nights" said he. If you were not in the cabinet I wish l could take care of you outside the cabinet. You know what I mean" And Mir Lincoln glanced significantly toward Judd, He was referring, as Judd knew, to dislike that Mrs. Lin- coin had for him.
 Yes, l know, MT. President" said MT. Judd, and I have been thinl,ino the matter over and talking it over with my wife. Mrs. Judd would like to go to European court if there is a good post for me as minister"
 ''Just the thing, Judd" responded MT Lincoln. 'I'll send you to Berlin and Kreismann can go along with vou as secretary of legation. Would that suit you, Kreismann?'
 Kreismann said that it would, and that was how Judd and he came to Berlin, Mr. Kreismann was after. ward appointed consul general and held the office for six or eight years.

printed attack by the statement of one of his friends that, while the ar ticle would probably drivo the man into obscurity, as MT. Gould hoped it 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 tl- nancial schemes. His sole idea was to help a 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 hay 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"

Unseemly Domestic Behavior of Eusi- ness Associate Nearly Betrayed the Financier Into Printing
 an Attack on Him.

Great as was his financial con. quests, probably the greatest of all of Jay Gould's victories was that which he gained over his temper said an old friend of the family to me at the time of the little wizards death in lS92. In it's natural state his was a most unruly temper. Unmastered, it would undoubtedly have led him into all sort of embarrassing situations and to my mind, seriously imperilled the success of his aims in life But more than once l have heard Russell Sage say-and he certainly knew that Mir Gould was the most even tempered man with whom he had ever been brought into business associa- ton
 indeed, so complete was MT. Goulds mastery over his temper that can re- call only one time when it ever got the better of him. Then, curiously enough, Mir Gould got boiling mad in behalf of good friend and business associate, and had not some of his closest friends been able finally to re strain him, there is no telling to what lengths he would have let his fury carry him
 One day there came to MT. Goulds ears a report that to this, his friend and business associate, a 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 MT. 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 it's height, he had pre- pared bitter, vitriolic article which purported to narrative of various private episodes in this mans life.

Story of Davis and Lincoln

the bit of paper had been cut off the letter size. I had an expert-a watch maker, 1 think-make a 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 a sheet of paper with a pair of scissors.
 "As a result asked the defendant to produce several letters which he had written. Then I discovered that in each case he had placed his sig nature at the bottom of the page, sev- eral inches below the bottom of the latter itself. leaving plenty of space on which a note could have been writ ten above his signature. Various rep utable witnesses had testified as to the defendants good character and integrity, so I gave him the benefit of the doubt and decided the case in his favor. Afterwards I 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 I frequently signed my name a 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 a note or something, that the document was a fraudulent one. So I decided to make radical change in my methods of writing, and from that day to this I 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, l place it so close to the last line of the text that 1t all but runs into it, making any interlineation between text and sigma ture impossible. And any interlinea tion 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 1 followed all the time was on the Supreme bench and all the time have been in the senate. and l recommend 1t as . good rule for any business man to adopt Copyright. 1909. by B. J. Edwards.l

One Time Gould Got Angry

This article, he exultantly told sev- eral of his friends when the com pleted manuscript was handed to him, he was going to have published the next day in the New York newspaper that he then owned. I'll take the full responsibility for it's publication he declared, and added that he would be only too glad to do so, for he felt sure that the publication of the article would drive the man into obscurity, a circumstance which would be little enough recompense to the friend who was in danger of being injured.
 Well, 1t was only after very long and very earnest efforts on the part of MT. Gould's confidantes that they were at all able to swerve him in the slightest from the plan of action that he had mapped out in the heat of his anger But finally Mir Gould was re- luctantly dissuaded from making the

Fraudulent Promissory Note Case in Which Abe Was Concerned Taught the Magistrate Better
 Business Methods.

First as a justice of the Supreme to 1877, and then as a senator from Illinois until 1883, the late David Dav- 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 United States senator, it 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 coln's life are full of anecdotes telling of Judge Daviss partiality of Lin coln and of his eagerness to hear Lin coln's stories when the days work was over.

 Do you know" he said to me as we were nearing the end of the journey, it was case with which MT. Lincoln was connected that had very impor- tant effect upon my methods of doing business?
 This particular case involved the non-payment of a promissory note. The note itself was in evidence and the defendant admitted that the sig nature on 1t was his. But he denied ever having written the body of the note. He also swore that he could not explain how 1t had got into the hands of the man who was suing up on 1t.
 Tt 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.

Twelfth Century Pottery.

At the museum at Innsbruck, in Aus tria. there has been for number or years a piece of pottery in the form of a basin, which experts were unable to locate as to age. It has now been determined that 1t was made in the twelfth century, and the great bowl is remarkable more for the design which it bears on the inner side than for its age. It shows Alexander the Great riding in an airship, which is propelled by grifflns. Alexander stands holding with great rod foou over the heads of the griffins.

Hartman Was Many Sided

was the important matter he wanted to see me about in such a hurry. nearly broke my neck, so to speak, in getting from the railroad station to the office, and you can imagine my surprise when I tell you that for three full hours he engaged me in the pleas antest sort of social chat imaginable, uttering never a word about business. Busy though he was-I could see the work piled up on his desk-he dropped it all to spend the better part of the afternoon in genial and gossipy con- versation with me, and returned home the next day without his hay ing spoken a direct word of business to me. Of course, he had some good reason in mind for sending for me and talking with me, but what it was I have never learned, and I suppose never will.
 While we were engaged in this to me puzzling conversation, the door to MT. Harriman's room opened and in the doorway was framed the huge bulk of Mir. Julius Kruttsehnitt, the man on whom MT Hartman depended absolutely for the proper maintenance and operation of his Union and South ern Pacific systems.
 What are you doing here?' he cried sharply
 Well began MT. Kruttschnitt, had to come to New York on some matters of importance and while was here l thought it would be we'll to call and see if you wanted to say anything to me
 MT. Hartman glared.
 You did, did your he shouted Well, you get out of here! When I want to see you I'll send for you!'
 MT. Eruttschnitt got out hastily, with never a word in reply That was the imperious Harri- man-the 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
 T had been president of one of his minor transportation enterprises for some little time when he shot at me in the midst of a strictly business con- | ference: How would you like to be president of a real railroad-not toy one, such as you now head?' Why, MT. Hartman I answered, jokingly, T didn't know you were thinking of retiring from the presi- dency of the Union Pacific.
 His jaws set like wise, his eyes | became steel.
