PLAIN, EVERYDAY MILLIONAIRE.
mm3J Gould't Luck of Style Surprhe. the
Observer. Rt the Hot Sprlug.
One of the shabbiest hacks in Hot
"Springs bumiieJ and rattled along the
3-oad in front of the Park hotel just as
flthe small band of baseball cranks wore
returning with hoarse voices and in
spiring hands from the field where the
St Faul team had snatched victory
Iroin the Cincinnati!). The hack was
pen, and on the back seat sat a little
anan with a great many wrinkles in his
lace and gray hairs in his dark beard.
Beside him eat a very pretty girl with
a sailor hat and a jaunty air to match.
"Then vis-a-vis was a young man of
:very small importance if appearances
were to be trusted. The dust raised by
ihe shuffling horses and rickety rig had
- aiot subsided before a Xew Yorker
-auuong the baseball cranks said irrever
ently, "There goes old Jay!"
Everybody turned tit once, and as if
to gratify the curiosity of some of his
subjects Mr. (iould hooked his umbrella
into the luicktnaii's neck and signaled
Lint to wheel about. Then as they
passed we all had a good look nt the
"Little Wizard." and the ew Yorker
further identified the pretty girl and
tho commonplace young man as tieorge
Ciould and his young wife, about w hom
thousands of young men raved when
he adorned the stage as Kdith King
Jon. Another hack of equally plebeian as
pect the climate will be colder here
when the supply of motheaten chariots
suid spavined steeds runs out followed
in the wake of Jay Gould's, containing
3tfiss Helen Gould and Dr. John P.
Slunn, of New York, the physician who
accompanies the railroad magnate on all
his journeys. The Gould party arrived
on their special car, and they got into
Ihe hackman's hands of course. Even
the wonderful strategic skill of Mr.
(iould could not save him from the
- ommon fate of all who get out at the
Hot Springs terminus.
It is my belief that Mr. Gould visits
Hot Springs from time to time to study
the hackmen, the druggists, the hotel
keepers and the rest of the financiers
here. Anyhow he drove all over the
town and looked at the new hotels, the
building boom, of which many new
-stores are the result, and paid the
'hackmen without a protest, which as
tonished them no doubt. Cor. Pitts
burg Dispatch.
Equivocal SentiineuU.
There is an old story about the nier
4-hant of Milwaukee, who, daring the
war of the rebellion, being an excellent
liand at sketching, drew most admira
bly on the wall of his store a negro's
head, and underneath it wrote, in a
manner worthy of the Delphic oracle,
'Dis Union foreber." Whether the
sentence meant loyalty to the Union
or not was the puzzling question which
the gentleman himself never answered,
always replying to inquiries, "Read it
for yourselves, gentlemen." Tims it
eamo to be a saying in the town that
"no one knows how dat darkey stood
on de war question."
Another similar story of more recent
origin is about a question which is
puzzling the young ladies who attend a
western female college. It seems that
one of them discovered that some per
son had written on the outer wall of
tho college, "Young women should set
good examples, for young men will fol
low them." The question now per
plexing the heads of several of the
young ladies of the college is whether
the writer meant what was written in
a moral or in an ironical sense. Bos
ton Gazette.
A Spider ltarniiietrr,
One of tho simplest and nt the samo
time one of the best barometers is the
common garden snider. When there
is a prospect of rain or wind the spid
always shortens the stays or likinietits
from which his web is suspended, am
leaves things in that state as long as
the weather is variable. If the insect
elongates his threads it is a sign of line,
calm weather, the duration of which
may be judged by the length of the
webs. If the spider remains inactive it
is a sign of rain ; but if, on the contra
ry, it keeps at work during a shower
the rain will be of short duration, fol
lowed by fine weather.
Other observations have taught nat
uralisU that tho spider makes changes
in its web every twenty-four hours, and
that if such changes are made in the
evening. Just before sunset, the night
will be clear and beautiful, and the
thoughtful spider will stand a fair
chance of getting some tender night
flying insect for his breakfast, ilie re
pairs of the spider's net being made
with that point in view. St. Imu'im
Republic.
