GATES spentHundreds of Thousands of Dollars in Sheer Foolishness. Trying to emulate the hero of "Brew•ster's Millions" and get rid of the vast fortune which he inheri- ted from his father was too much for Charles W. Gates, soon of the late John W. Gates, the Texas mil- lianaire a.n sensational market plunger, and he died of heart fail- ure recently .in his private car at Cody, Wyoming. He was the wild- est kind of a spender, and threw his money about like it was so much sawdust. He was but 35 years of age, and had gone through hun- dreds of thousands of dollars' in sheer foolishness. He had just spent more than $7,000 buying fur coats for friends: a few days before he died. He gave his chauffeur $1,000 and presented his guide on the hunting trip with $10,000 in. eurrency. A few hours before bile death Mr. Gates said he had just made a big turn on the Chicago. Board of Trade, and that he expected to spend $70,000 before leaving Cody. Many stories are told of 'Gates' fondness for playing jokes. He left a friend in on alittle deal w'hisle in a few minutes his friend Bleared 8200. Gates telephoned him the news. His friend refused to be- lieve it, and saaid,.. with a laugh: "Oil, well, if I. won that money you can send it to me in pear:lee." Half an hour afterward the successful' speculator nearly fell off his chair when he saw two porters enter his office carrying big baskets full of copper cents. Gates thought that was a great joke, Once in California, Charlie Gates pulled off an April 1 'jesb on Waal:. Rubbers, ant Over•Stockdngs hi One. Ras), to pot on and take err, J t.

Gabes finished his dinner, walked over to the rail• road station and chartered a spe- cial train for Sao Diego, Gabes' special passed Dupree'"e train on a siding.' When Dupree stepped, off the train at Slan Diego he was wel- comed by Gates on the platform. The little joke cost Gates $480. He .attracted attention by his sen- sational 3°,000 -mile trip from Yuma., Ariz., to New York. The story goes hat he had hurb his leg "cranking an automobile and was alarmed over possible blood -poisoning. • The Gates special broke the Twentieth Century's time from Ohl Ce W. Gates. cago to New York, and it is claimed that on the first division of the :Rock. Island system the train made 100 miles an hour. ,Including stoops, the special covered the 535 miles from Chicago to Buffalo in 528 min- utes, and the 974 miles from Chi- cago through to New York, took 987 minutes. The cost of the trip was not lees than $6,000. When Gates reached New York physicians told him that he was in no danger. In 1907, just before the panic, the partnership which Gates had form- ed with his father was dissolved, He bought aseat on the Stock Ex- change for $51,000 in. 1901, and in 1908 he sold it for about the same figure. He had large business in- teresrbs at Pott Arthur, Texas, and was a director of 'a national bank there. Among the clubs to which he belonged are the Automobile Club of America, Atlantic Yacht, New York Athletic, Westchester Country, Columbia Yacht, Chicago, Chicago Athletic, and Calumet of Chicago. FORTUNES TN SAUSAGES. 400 Different Binds of "Wtust" Rade in Westphalia. Westphalia, in Prussia, is the home of the sausage. There, it is said, a trader will name no fewer than 400 different kinds of sausage. A sausage exhibition was held re- eently in Germany, at which a thousand varieties of sausage were shown. In this connection a story is told of a young Prussian, who, though he had received an expensive train- ing as a chemist, shut himself up in his laboratory, and instead of devising a new dye, safety match, motor engii e, explosive, aeroplane, or photographic lens, took pork, veal, olives, pepper, fennel, old wine, cheese, apples, cinnamon and herrings' roes, and from them evolve ed a wonderful and totally original "wurst," the best of its kind.

A tall, thin Man, clad in shabby garments, suddenly appeared in Mr. ll'[oreinmr's study. Then, as f llaluber:ea Journal goes on to say; he cleared his throat. "I have, ventured to call to lay before you one of the toast aston- ishing inventions of modern times," he began, impressively, "A gas - burner, sirs" M Mr. ortitner was busy, • arrang- ing some papery in a corner, and having both hands hill, with a ,pen held crosswise in his mouth, he was for the moment quite at his visit- or's mercy, "Perhaps, sir, you are aware that in the case of every kind of burner except the one I now show you, gas gives off a noxious effluvium, hav- ing a peculiarly ruinous effecb up- on the eyesight." By this time Mr. Mortimer had emptied; his hands and mouth, and was advancing, The agent started back in distressful sorrow. "How you •have suffered al- ready !" he exclaimed, fixing his eyes upon Mr. Mortimer's. "Your sight, sir, would not last six months longer. .This must not be." With a nimbleness that rooted Mr. Mortimer to the spot, the agent glided 'to the table, whipped off the lamp -shade and then the old burn- er. "It's a mercy that I happened to call.'' "Stop !" commanded Mr. Morel- I mer. "Replace everything as it was, instantly 1". "The number of cases of prema- ture blindness that 1 have had ' the gratification of preventing makes my labor a most pleasant one." "I don't, want your burner !" bawled Mr. Mertim. er, thinking the man might be deaf. "I won't have it! Take it off 1" For he was light- ly twirling the new one in its place. "There, sir, you will feel thank- ful to me as long as you live." "Do you heal 1 I shall not pay you for it." . The agent' struck an attitude. "Payment! Of what . consequence is that? T would not remove that inestimable burner for .any amount of looney when the alternative la the ruin of your eyesight. For, sir, your eyes are worth many burners. I make you a present of it will- ingly. "I •am a poor man, under heavy travelling expenses, and I have a family in want." • .He sighed. "But duty shall be done. The price is threepence halfpenny, or three shil- lings a. dozen.

WOIUiS ALL DAY And Studies at Night on 'Grape - Nuts Food. ,some of the world's great men have worked during the day and studied evenings to fit themselves for greater things. But it requires a good constitution generally to do this. • A man was able to keep it up with •ease after he had learned, the sustaining power of Grape -Nuts, although he had failed in health before he changed his food :supply. He says: "Three years ago I had a' severe attack of stomach trouble ' which' left me unable to eat anything but `bread and water. "The nervous strain at my office. from 6 ... M. to 6 P. M. and im- proper foods caused my health to fail rapidly. Cereal and so-called "Foods" were tried without ben7;- fit until I 'saw Grape -Nuts men- tioned in the paper. "In hopeless ,desperation I tried this food and at once gained strength, flesh and appetite. I am now able to work all day at the office and study at night, without the nervous' exhaustion that- was usual before I tried Grape -Nuts. ,> "It leaves me etrengtthened, rem trashed, eatisfied; nerves quieted and toned up, body and brain waste restored. 1 would, have been a living skeleton, or more likely a dead one by this time, if it had not ,been for Grape -Nubs." / Nampa given by Canadian Postum Co., Windsor, Ont.

Tourists Ootnld Not See Gatun Dant' While Standing On It, The surprising zriagnitude of' Gatun' dam, one of the memorable feats that help to make the Panama.

It is rather a range of hills a part of the highlands that, east and west, enclose the valley of the Ohagres. Its summit resembles the terminal yards of some great city. There was one day when I sought a negro brakeman attaohed to i. certain locomotive. I climbed to a yardmaster's tower above the spillway, and the yardmaster, tak- ing up his powerful field glasses,, swept the horizon, or rather the dam, and discovered the engine for me as a mariner discovers an island at••sea,. "Fr -would you be kind enough. to tell us where we can find this Gatun dam we've heard so much about i" asked a party of four tourists, half and half as to sex, who had been wandering about on the top for an hour or so with puz= sled countenances. They addressed themselves toe, busy civil engineee • in leather leggings.. and" railed -up shirt -sleeves; "I'm sorry I haven't time to use the instrument," replied the en,. gineer, over his shoulder, while he, wigwagged• his orders to his negro helpers scattered over the I:l' d-""- eeape, "but as nearly as can 1111 with the naked eye, you are now standing in the exact centre of it."' It is said that the late Father Stanton once met a drunken man `see who was clinging for support to a lamp -post. Theparson approached him, and in a friendly way sug- gested •that 15 would be better for him if he took less. liquor. The wretched man turned unsteadily, still clinging to the lamp -post, and said : "I am a :teetotaller. Yes, a real one! But I'•m not one of those bigoted fellows."

In con- sideration ofthe farmer's generos- ity in. saying nothing about the mat- ter, the delinquents on their return home had their photographs taken, and forwarded one to the farmer, apparently to remind him of their happy visit.
