counting the stock until the next day,
when young Gates was overwhelmed
by having served on him legal papers
by the numerous brokers from whom
he had borrowed the stock, ordering
him to send the proxies on 1t to them
and telling him that IL he attempted
to- vote it at the Denver meeting they
would bring suit for damages. Gates
had run head on into the law and had
to back out.
When John w. Gates was In his
prime he was familiar figure and
heavy plunger at the race tracks. So
was his son. The latter'g best record
of winnings was made at Los Angeles,
when he took $4,000 from the Santa
Anita bookmakers. Returning to the
city on the last day Of the meeting,
young Gates much elated, paid $500
for dog worth $50. He then gave 1t
to the cashier of the Alexandria hotel
Next he procured $50 puppy. but,
meeting young woman who liked the
animal, pup No. vanished In oblivion.
Then the young plunger found hand
some bulldog and parted with $500,
but kept the animal.
Charlie" Gates has also taken oc-
casional filings at roulette and faro and
a fortune usually changed hands one
way or the other. One night, after a
banquet on Broadway, he fell In with
Arnold Rothstein and William Shea,
both notorious gamblers, and spent
the night at their place of business.
In the morning Rothstein accom-
panied the young plunger to his bank,
where Rothstein cashed check for
$4,000 which Gates had written at
daylight.
II the father was possessed OF o
whole-souled sense of humor, so is the
son. and it has been amply evidenced
several times. Again big sums were
always involved, at least in the stories
that found their way to the public
print.
The following is a sample:
Turn me trick in the market. will
you? | need the money badly"
This request came over the telt,-
phone TO young Gates one morning.
Mr. Gates Immediately bought 200
shares OF Louisville G. Nashville. In
less than an hour the stock had been
sold at two points profit.
"I'veS got $500 for you," shouted
Gates over the telephone. How do
you want it, cashiers check?"
The clerk, who thought Mr.. Gates
was joking. replied "Oh. send it over
in pennies"
Two strong porters were dispatched
to the sub-treasury. 10000 new PEN
nies were procured and delivered to
the amazed customer in a bushel bas-
ket.

The simpIe Life.

Anna Maria Wilhelmina Pickering.

tells a Yorkshire incident which con-
taihs great deal OF human nature.
Variety spices life; the plain is monot-
onous, until its extent entities 1t to
the name of prairie or desert, and 1t
gains interest through vastness.
There was an old couple in the vii
lage whom used often to go to see.
One day, when / found them sitting,
one on each side of the fire. the old
man said to me:
We'll, t. missis and me, we've been
married nigh on so years. and we've
never had one quarrel"
The old woman looked at me, with a
twinkle in her eyes, and said:

CHIP OFF old BLOCK
Young Gates Very Much Like
His Father.
Has Already Shown the "PIunglng
I, Spirit" on Small Scale-Some
of His Escapades in the
Field of Chance.

New York.-Like his late father, but
necessarily on smaller scale. Charles
q. Gates has been known for several
years as a spender. Now, with up
ward of $30,0OO,O0O in his control, will
he prove to be a spender to an extent
-proportionate to the reputation he has
gained as an embryo, or as the son
of John W. Gates?"
Several transactions In which young
Gates has figured and which may be
regarded as significant are recalled
here. While they perhaps no more
than verge on the sensational. they
disclose, it Is pointed out, character
that In time may develop true bet
you-a-million" proclivities.
1t is recalled that in 1901 Charles
Gates decided he wanted seat on the
New York stock exchange, and to get
it wrote check for $4,000, the rec
ord price paid for seat up to that
time.
On one occasion John w. Gates
went to Texas on shooting trip and
left his son in charge OF his Wall
street brokerage Office. One 6ay the
latter went out before the books
closed on Colorado Fuel & Iron, bor-'
rowed about 10000 shares and had 1t
transferred into his own name. After
the hooks closed he returned the GER
tificates, but gave proxies on them to
Mr.. Hartman.
By strange coincidence, George j..
Gould owned all of this stock. He had
planted it about Wall street to see
what would happen to it. When Mr..
Gould saw the clever move made by
young Gates-rfor the Colorado Fuel
war had just begun, and such moves
counted-he let Hartman go ahead
