Around the lake they are known In the
jocular language of the camp society as
the "Seersucker Family," not because they
have amassed a fortune In the manufac
ture of that useful texture, as might have
been Inferred In other communities which
designate their princes vulgarly as "the
great codfish man, you know," or "the
shoestring brothers," In Imitation of the
honored titles, "oil magnate" and "coal
barons." No, the seersucker family derive
their name not from the source of thlr
worldly wealth, but from the means which
the woman of the house takes to save her
self work. Seersucker abounds In the camp
for the simple reason that It does not re
quire ironing. Tablecloths and napkins are
made of it; dish towels, sofa cushion cov
ers, waists and skirts for the women and
negligee shirts for the men. even the babies
are attired In seersucker rompers.
"And the only reason I don't have seer

!. the Saa Do It.
The next day when the sun had mounted
high and the little waves were sparkling
in the front yard, the family rest from the
morning's activities (the word "work" is
tabooed) and yield to the Invitation of the
lake. Then says the man:
"Come, you pampered child of civilization,
get your little seersucker napkin and come
In washing. Everybody in this household
haa to be his or her own laundress."
He leads the procession himself, with his
arms full of soap and seersucker, and the
women plunge Into the waves after him,
with the blouses they wore an hour before
and a couple of babies' rompers apiece.
Then the fun begins. "This washing is not
taken very seriously even by the mistress
of the household, who only keeps a watch
ful eye on her husband to see that he rubs
the tablecloth In the places where It was
soiled. For the rest It Is all splashing and
laughing, sousing the clothes up and down
In the soft water, throwing them out where
the water is waist high, and racing after
them as they float indifferently away on
the current. For those who cannot swim
the washing provides an endless source of
amusement, and for those who can It .is
soon dispensed with and "left to soak."
Woe to the negligent, however! Far out
In the deep water, where light hearts have
forgotten their wash and are disporting

HOW GATES PLAYED THE GAME
Huge Fortune Founded on Barbed
Wire and Steel.
WALL STREET GIVEN SHAKE DOWN
Indifference In Money Matters Mail,
fested at Poker, Bridget
Ponies and Other Games
of t hane.
"Bet-you-a-mlllion Gate, the plunger,
who died the other day in Paris, caught his
fortune with a barbed wire and anchored
It with a bunch of borrowed Texas steers.
It was a little incident that occurred in
San Antonio a generation ago. The young
fellow who was destined to hold the steel
industry of the country in his hands had
tried several little ventures and finally de
cided there was money in barbed wire,
then a new thing. He hired out as a drum
mer at tlOO a month, took a roll of wire and
started for Texas, where he had heard
there had never been seen a strand of that
kind of fencing. He made his plunge In
San Antonio in true Gates style.
Making a corral lu lue center of the
main street, he borrowed a bunch of steers
irom a ranchman and drove them Into
it. By the time the multitude had gath
ered. Then the drummer and several vol
unteer asistants harried and Insulted those
benighted cattle till they had branded
themselves in divers fantastic fashions
against Mr. Gates fence. But they didn't
break the corral.
In an hour John W. dates had sold more
barbed wire than his employer could' man
ufacture In a month. His fortune was be
gun. That bull-in-the-pen method of doing
business annoyed Wall street when the
plunger struck it some years later.
A veteran of the street called on him one
day to give him some ad vie for the
street's good.
"You are violating all the traditions of
the street," said the old broker.
"I don't give a tinker's dam for tradi
tions," said Mr. Gates. "I come from a
part of the country where new traditions
at made every day."
It took the Wall street crowd some time
to learn that. And it cost them money.
His vory frankness deceived them. Once
when ho had been hard hit the reporters
called to see if he was out of the game.
"No, boys," he assured them. "I'm not
broke, but I'm pretty damned badly bent."
"Gates Is down and out and trying to
hide It by 'fake' frankness," said the wise
ones, and proceeded henceforth to Ignore
him.
Then one morning they woke up to learn
that Mr. Gates had gained control of the
Louisville & Nashville. And the wise ones
went down and paid a tuition bill tor In

Breaking- Iats Steel.
In relation to the beginning ot Mr.
Gates' career as a steel man it was told
that he was on the tiain going from New
York to Chicago with Mr. Lambert, with
whom ha had Just made about Hi. 000.000 in
eight days, and Just as they reached
Pittsburgh suggested Investing this money
In soma way Instead ot letting it He in
the bank.
"What would ou suggest doing with ItT"
asked Mr. Lambert.
"Let's get off here and buy soma mills,"
said Mr. Gates.
Tbey did.

the small towns that desired his Interest
and friendship came with the news that
the boys had made a pool and raised 140,000
to play a game of poker with him.
Gates looked at his watch and replied:
"Boys, I haven't much time to stay in
town and I am sorry to disappoint you. I
tell you what I'll do, I'll match you for it."
Mr. Gates' last office was In the Trin
ity building, New York. He called his firm
Charles G. Gates &. Co. Others termed it
"The House of the Twelve Apostles," as
a dozen partners were in It. Gates was
considered a good bridge whist player.
Often after 3 p. m. bridge was played In
the office. One day there were only three
to play. A young man of good family,
but not wealthy, came in.
"Sit down," said Gates, agreeably. "I
hate to play with dummy."
"How much a point do you play?" asked
the newcomer.
"Fifty," &ald Gates.
"I can't afford it," was the rejoinder.
"Twenty-five Is a big game for me."
"Well, make up the rubber," said Gates,
dlaappointcdly. "We'll play for twenty
five." The young man played well, had luck and
won.
"We havo a sort of clearing house here,"
said Gates when the game ended. "I'll send
you your check in the morning."
The young man got a check for $13,000.
Astonished, ha took it to the signer.
"What does this mean?" he asked. "I
caluculated that I won $130. We were play
ing for 25 cents a point, weren't we?"
"We were playing for $25 a point," re
turned Gates.
"Wha-at? Why, if I'd lost I couldn't have
paid."
"If you hadn't paid we'd have run you
out of the city," said Gates, coldly. "But
you won. Cash that check." It was cashed.
Boosting a Slow Dane.
Besides this pleasing little story to em
phasise Mr. Gates' sermon, another Is told.
The governor of a certain western state
was playing poker here with Gates, John
A. Drake and one of Gates' brokers. The
gam grew slow.
"lets rase the limit from $50 to $1,000,'
suggested Gates. The broker demurred. He
knew the value of money. But the limit
was raised. The governor won $30,000.
"How much are you worth?" the broker
admiringly asked the governor.
"Fifty thousand dollars."
"Are you in the stock market?"
"Yes, for 16,000 shares."
"Sell."
The governor did. The panlo of 1907 fol
lowed. i-ven In the years of his more frugal be
ginnings he had the gambling instinct well
developed. "Pete" McManus, who went to
Texas with him In 1876 to sell the new
fence material, once told how he had gone
to the races in St. Louis with Gates, and
how on the way there, Gate had handed
him a roll of bills to place on a certain
horse. This is the way McManus related
the story:
"How much money U there in the roll?"
I asked.
"Fifteen thousand dollars," he replied,
as carelessly as if it was 15 cents.
"I placed the $15,000 around among the
different bookmakers, getting odds of I to
1. When that particular rare came on I
got so nervous I could hardly stand It.
Uatea was smiling all the time and seemed
to be utterly unconcern.- , about the $12,000
which I had placed for li in.
'jWe watched the hor run. and, if there
was ever a time when Gates was unrasy
over his bet he did not f-how It. His horse
won and his $15,000 brought him $jO,000.

One day his business friend called him and
asked him to go and have the check cashed
so the firm's books could be balanced.
"I forgot all about the check," he re
plied. Gates came over from Europe In 1902 with
jewels upon which he paid duty amounting
to $7,500. Then -a cuatoms official asked
himi
"What about that $35,000 necklace you
bought abroad?"
"Oh. forgot that.' he replied, .fishing it
from his pocket. He had to pay $23,000 to
the government for forgetting.
Gates won a lawsuit once by the toss of
a coin. He and his old friend, John E.
Madden, had gone to law In a friendly
suit over a little matter involving Gates'
Texas oil stock and Maddcn's fleet 2-year-old,
Uncle. Madden had tipped Gates off
when the latter won at Belmont Park in
1907, and the latter was said to have won
$30,000 on the race. In return he offered to
do a good turn for the horseman by in
vesting In some Texas oil stock. Madden
refused to ratify the transaction, and the
two came face to face in court. When
Madden had finished testifying Gates
stepped up to him, saying:
"John, I guess you've told a correct story
as you understand It. I'll flip you a cop
per to see who pays the cost of this
reference."
"You're on, John," replied Madd n.
Gates pulled a cent from his pocket and
tossed it in the air.
"What is it?" he aeked.
"Heads," said Madden.
It w-as tails. Gates smiled.
"Now, I'll flip you," said Madden, "to
bp whether I'll pay you $2,500 to settle the
case or whether you settle it for nothing."
"It's a go," said Gates.
Madden flipped the cent and Gates called
tails. It was tails again and counsel on
the opposing sides Informed the referee
that they had settled the case and would
pay the fees of himself and the stenog
rapher on presentation of the bill.
His Indifference to mere sums of money
often led him Into fantastic bursts of gen
erosity. Onoe he gave a waiter a tip of $500
and the Icliow promptly gave up his Job
and began playing the races.
The brass buttons and flash of uniform
of soldier life fascinated the man of money.
He watched the soldiers marching in Michi
gan avenue, out In Chicago, one day and
concluded that he wanted to sport a sword.
He had the boys elect him colonel of
one of the Illinois regiments nd bought
himself more gold braid and fancy swords
than any other man ever held in that sec
tion of the world. New York Tribune.

The battle went on from one side of
the bowl to the other, and the silent
audience waited patiently. First one bee
tle would secure an advantage and then
the other would retaliate. The brown bee
tle seemed to have his teeth closely fixed
in his opponent's shoulder, while the. black
one was slowly but surely biting off a
leg of the other combatant. After about
two minutes of battling the black beetle
seemed to secure a decided advantage. He
had the brown beetle "in a hole." The
Chinamen noticed it, and some of them
stirred uneasily.
BUM the fight was not won, for the
brown beetle by a stroke of luck might
get the other's head between his fine,

THE HEROINE OF FREDERICK
Barbara Frletchle Didn't Want the
11 n K, hot Roared A boot the
Buttermilk.
Henry Clay Nalll, Who died in Baltimore
the other day, was a politician of the old
school, intensely partisan, eating, drinking
and dreaming politics. He was a stump
speaker for the republican party in many
states and for many decades. During Presi
dent Arthur's administration he was sur
veyor of the port of Baltimore. Through
absorption of Its traditions he knew the
history of Maryland until, in conversation.
It would seem to his hearers as if he had
himself lived from earliest colonial times.
He had seen every president from John
Cjulncy Adams on, and had known personlly
several of the defenders of Fort McHenry.
His version of the Barbara Frletrhle
legend is interesting, in view of the fact
that Frederick was Mr. Nalll'a home, and
he was well acquainted with Dame Barbara
had "known her from his Infancy, and
had sat on her lap mrny a time," as he ex
pressed It. The legend, as immortalised In
Whlttler's poem, is well known. It has been
claimed that the Incident occurred Just as
told In the poem, but It has also been as
serted that the heroine was a Mrs, Quan
trell, a relative of the guerrilla leader.
Those who advance the latter theory
usually declare that the soldiers did not
pass within three blocks of Barbara's home.
AccordlnV to Mr. Nalll both stories are
right and both wrong. He said that while
Stonewall's soldiers were passing barbara'a
hoi:se, several of them entered her garden
' ' - m'w f"-m the well without ask
ing consent of the old woman, who was
churning on the porch. Cpon helng acridly
uiuiieu aay, two of them went onto the
porch and pretended to be about to slake
their thirst with Barhnra s buttermilk. Her
wrath grew to fury, and. In mingled Bngllxh
and Pennsylvania Dutch, she gave them
her unflattering personal opinion of them
selves, their army, and government, and the
military 'profession In general. Her
speeches were received with laughter and
mock applause, and, the soldiers then
moved on. According to Mr. Nalll, there
waa no flag displayed, and Barbara's senti
ments, rxpressed and unexpressed, were
rallied around tha single principle of "No
trespassing."
Further down the street was Mrs. Quan-
