Schwab, the president of the Billion Dollar Steel Trust, who began life as a poor boy, told in his talk to the St. George's trade school in New York, the following stories of industrious boys who afterward became successful and prominent in the business world. "There were ten boys employed by a ' concern once and one night the inana- ' ger said to his subordinate : 'Tell the boys they are to stay a little longer tonight?tell them they are to stay until 1 6 o'clock. Don't tell them why. Ju-<t . tell them that and watch them.' So J 1 ?1 < ID 18 was uoue, huu wueu u uuwa came round there was just one boy I who was interested in his work, and ) was not watching the clock to see what 1 time it was. That boy was the one ' the manager wanted, and be was taken into the office, and as he continued , to manifest the same interest in hit work he was promoted until at last he got a very responsible place.. ' "Then there was another boy. He , began carrying water, and he did it so ] much better than any other bov, see- j ing to it always that the men had good . water, cool water and plenty of it, that j he attracted attention to himself. He was taken into the office, where he be- , came in time superintendent and then , general manager, and he is now the man that is at the head of the Car- j negie Company with thousands of men under him. As a boy be did mnr?? than the ordinary run of boys 1 did and so attracted attention, and , tbat was tbe secret of bis first step up- , ward. "I was in a bank down town the other day when a newsboy came in and sold the banker a paper. After be bad gone out tbe banker said to nae : 'For two yearn now that boy has been coming to me here at the time I told him to come?2 o'clcok. He doe? not come before 2 or after 2, but at 2 precisely. He has sold me a paper every week day in that way when I have been here without a break. "He sells it for just one cent?its price. He neither asks more nor seems to expect more. It is a cold commercial transaction. Now a boy tbat will attend to business in that way has got stuff in him. Hedoesn.t know ityet,butlam going to put him in my bank and you will see that he will be heard from.' " ?

A Scheme by Which a Pair of Confirmed Young Gameslera Ceaned, Yet Did Not Ceaae, and Eventually Acquired Wealth. This is the story of two confirmed poung gamblers who seemed beyond redemption, but who struck a system whereby they continued and yet ceased ?w/l Avontuflllv onnniroH woo]fh ?UU1UJ1U& auu v ?vuwuu.v **vnu..v%. .. They were a pair of young southerners from the same town and friends almost from babyhood. Therefore what one did the other was almost sure to do. They made up their minds that they needed to go out and see the world and be happy and that it was not the proper thing to live on their fathers. They came to New York to make their own way and to seo things and in order to see them better jeeame newspaper reporters. Then they saw things good and bad and indifferent md among them were introduced to a thing named "wheel." Unfortunately in the first attempt one jf them won $300 nnd the other $200, md thereafter they devoted their young lives and hundreds of dollars trying to repeat the run. When the "wheel" proved faithless, :hey went to horse racing, which is more langerous because it includes not mere uck, but an element of personal vanity ibout one's knowledge of Sunshine and Spindrift and weights up and hard ana joft tracks. Poker and the other diversions were added to the list until the spirit of gambling entered their daily lives, and they gambled with each other ind threw dice to see who would pay the week's board and matched each other to see who paid for breakfasts. Things went on splendidly until on pay lays It was simply a matter of an hour to run from the office to a "joint" or a ?oolroom and to return dead broke ready ind cheerful for another day's work, rhey owed money, restaurant bills and money borrowed outright, which they fc?oped to pay some day when they mado i big strike. Meanwhile they made little strikes, enough to lead them on. In time they got to the point when their faces no onger showed whether they had lost or won. Therefore they were "full fledged iports." Therefore, also, hard lines were ligging into their faces about their mouths and eyes, and if their families lown in the land of sunshine could have seen them parading arm in arm up Park row there would have been tears or rebuffs, according to sex. As both of the young men had the same irst Christian names it is necessary to rail one of them Bill and the other Billy. Bill and Billy were in for a crisis. Fhe summer and the greater part of autumn had gone when it dawned on them :hat in the name of decency, if not in the lame of comfort, it was about time to auy overcoats. They had spent nights .L:.AUn?. At. oaclrmmonfo ff\P thp WflTlt Of }UiV triill? WIX aoo.bu"i^u^ -W. i proper covering, but on pay days it seemed folly to invest money in clothing when there was a fortune to be made by the turn of a wheel. As both men were pretty good in their line of business they nade enough each week to buy three or four new overcoats if they had been able :o let the wheel alone. They realized this >ne morning and left the office together with their salaries in their pockets, bound for a tailor's shop, and they returned two lours later without a cent or an overcoat ind with watches gone. As th?y were game to the core they sat lown in their seats in the office at desks facing each other and like true Kports began to write the Btories of their assignments as if nothing had happened. Presently, without stopping his writing, Bill remarked: "Billy, you're a fool." "Just what I was thinking of you," Billy returned, likewise disdaining to halt in his work. "Guess we're both it," Bill said as before. "Maybe, but I know you are," said Billy, and then for the first time both put down their pencils. "I'll tell you, I'll match you to see w;ho is the biggest fool; that's about all I've got left," said Bill. "That's all right; I'll bet you a fiver it [ wanted to I could save more money in i month than you could at that," the ather said. "I'll go you on that. It's five up that it the end of the month I show a fatter bank account than you do." And that Is all that was said until at the end of the month Bill produced a bankbook with $80 in it and Billy one with $120 credited to him. Therefore Bill paid Billy the $5 and said: "I'll go you again on that." "All right; make it every month it you like." "Suits me, my son," Baid Billy, "but, look here, 6port is sport. I don't think I jught to have taken that fiver. I borrowed $50 from the governor to add to :he account and swamp you. That leaves 570 which I teally saved against your $80, so here is your $3 back and $3 more which I owe." But Bill hesitated; then he said. "Well, Is this thing meant only for legitimate saving?" "So I supposed." "Then here is the $10 back. Yon see I was behind and only had $40 in bank. I lad everything to gain and nothing to lose, I figured, so I drew the $40 and played Esmeralda, even money, and banked the $80." "Then we will call the thing off for this month, but hereafter it will be five month that I show a fatter account thaa you do, and no more funny businesa about it." Neither Bill nor Billy knew what he was doing that day, or he would not have done it. but the excitement of the chase was on, and that was four years ago. The last time Bill won with $4,200 to Billy's $4,170, and Billy swore he would get the next fiver if he had to do the Isabella act and pawn his jewels. Some day a pair of fine girls will get hold of Bill and Billy and will put on the finishing touches of civilization, and thereafter they will confine themselves to laying odds on their wives, which is legitimate.?New York Times.
