Billard of Meriden, is like his father in this, llis information is extensive and he knows what others about him for a considerable radius are doing, but be is not given "to talking much. Of the father thr re is told an anecdote which has become a classic in Mcridcn. His knowledge of the financial condition and position of others was known to be more accurate by far than that of the general run of people; who find when a man dies that they really knew little of his real standing, and on one occasion an acquaintance sought to take advantage of this. A mutual friend had died and the questioner wished to dispel the general doubt as to how much money he had left. "John,'' lu> said to the present j Boston Maine magnate's father, I "I sec So-and-So is dead." "I guess lie is,'' remarked John I Billard. "They say so, anyway." I he other moved closer in a very confidential way and spoke in that intimate tone. "How much did he leave?" he asked. ward the questioner with his hands John Billard leaned forward toon his knees in a characteristic attitude. "Joel" said lie, "he left it all."
