Jay Gould Outwitted By A Jour¬
nalist.
Jay Gould was never faialy outwitt-
ed hv a reporter but once, and the ex-
ceptioual Incident oeoamd at the
time Gould was in Denver after hav-
ingjust purchased the Kansas Pacif-
ic railroad. The financial world was
agog for information as to Gould’s iu-
tentions and plans, and the Denver
newspaper offices were overwhelmed
with telegrams from Eastern dailies
asking for special dispatches regard-
ing the railroad magnate and his move
meuts. Mr. Fred. Skiff, who is now
manager of the Denver Tribune, was
at (hat time city editor of the paper.
and he detailed three of bis best re-
porters to get ut Gould and interview
him by hook or by crook. About
9 o’clock at night these reporters
showed up With tbe information that
Gould could not be seen, that bis sen-
finels were posted ail along the hall
leading to his rooms in the Grand
Central hotel, and it was impossible
to tun the guantlet of these wary
creatures. Perhaps with a view to
lowing his subordinate* what gen-
uioe enterprise could accomplish,
announced that he would secure
access to Gould’s apartmeuts, and
would literaly beard the lion in his
den. Accordingly, he hurtled aronnd,
a Pullman car conductor’s
cap, aud stalked boldly into the
Central. “Liokah^re,” s-iid
he to the first sentinel he met, “wba
does Mr. Gould pr< fte to do about
car? I mast ku w right away,
if ha is ot going nta u-ie it tom or-
row. I’v» got to take it back to Chi.
The sentrykuew nothing about
car, of course, aud advised Skill to
see Gould about it hicuself. Ho
successfully ran the gauntlet of
half dozen lickevs, growling all
time ab >ut the bother of being

“Young,” said Mr. Gould, sternly
“if you are a reporter you c»n take
right out of the room, fori
not to be interviewed.
Skiff argued tbe point, and, uot be-
iuvited to be seated, coolly i-at
down on the floor. “Unless you put
me out,” said he “I shall stay here
yon tell me what your plans are?
The audacity rather pleased Gould,
He looked at Usher, and, seeing that
party chuckling heartily, lie broke
out into a hearty laugh. “Well,
what do you want to know?” he asked,
finally, fta a tone of a man who is
wf irv with objecting. Skiff knew he
had triumphed. He produced his note
book, drew up to the table at which
Gould sat, and set industriously at
work plying questions and noting the
leplies. The result was a reliable fore
cast of the immense railroad tnter-
prise ip which Gould subsequently
embarked, and of which the public
would not have been forewarned but
for the audacity aud wit of the daunt¬
less Skiff.—Clijcpgo paily News,

heard th e strange voice and went, not
for the books, but for the agent, who
retreated to tbe dining room and
mounted flip table, where with a chair
lie managed to protect himself from
the dog*. But for the blocks to which
the canines were chained he Would

young gouts on a stable roof. I feel as

after sweet milk, sq do I hanker after

swim in a se.mf d. ligbtfulnes® when
you are near tne. My lipirt flaps up
and upwo like a churn dasher, and my
eyes stand open like a cellar door in a

reciprocated, I will pine away and d.e
