cago Post.
Queer Is the history Of the Goulds.
Old Jay Gould rose from a peddler of
mousetraps to be the greatest manipu-
lator Wall Street ever has known. He
died leaving a fortune of $70,000,00C
and a record without one constructive
act and many of destruction.
George J. Gould testified some six
or eight years ago after his fathers
death that the Gould fortune, instead
Of being decreased, as generally sup
posed, had been increased up to that
time.
There can be no doubt, however, as
to what happened later. The millions
melted. Hardly a property over
which the Goulds held sway but went
to disaster.
Look at a partial list of those that
went bankrupt: The Missouri Pacific,
Denver and Rio Grande, Wabash, st.
Louis, Iron Mountain and Southern.
Texas and Pacific and Western Pa
cific.
Saved by Absorption.
But for its absorption by the .Ameri-
can Telephone and Telegraph it was
inevitable the Western Union would
have followed the others. Only the
Manhattan 81" in New York contin-
ued to prosper.
George j. Gould and the various
other Goulds dropped out of the d.
rectorates of many corporations and,
gradually, came to be numbered among
the has-beens.
And now from out Of the western
wastes comes a mighty golden shower
to the Goulds.
The Texas and Pacific Railroad com
pany never has earned a dividend. II
has been a waif and a stray and a
worry for 10! these many years.
To every great corporation there
are pendant little corporations. So II
happens that to the Texas and Pacific
there is a Texas and Pacific Coal com
pany. This concern has certain land
rights which were taken over by II
to develop, for there Is some coal In
north Texas. This Texas and Pacific
Coal company dates back to 1888
1t never amounted to much until they
struck oil In north Texas. Now the
lands of the company are pock-markeC
with oil holes. The shares Of thu

They couldn't sell their shares a
