Beginning of Fortune.
A New England representative In
e^ngrcis is responsible for this story
of life in the Green Mountains:
"You can talk about Vanderbilt affluence
and Rockefeller riches and the
prosperity of all the factotums of Wall
street, but for real financial complacency
givi me a little hill town in
the commor vealth of Vermont. A
farn.p' up there became enamored of
spec iting life. He took the weekly
oofl/iiilfiirol edition of a hi ST. rOCk-rib
bed Gotham journal, and became fired
with an ambition to emulate one of
those speculating deals that make millions
change in the twinkling of an
eye. He lay awake nights thinking
about a coup, any old coup, that should
be his by rights, by gum. One morning
he came in from the milking and
sat down at the breakfast table with
a jaw as square set as Plerpont Morgan's,
an avarice as great as Russia's
'long reach' in the Orient, and a manner
as mysterious as the fledgeling who
makes a grand stand rush down the
betting ring and, wild eyed and excited,
shouts, 'Aleck for place, and
hands the bookmaker a whole dollar
bill. Well, after breakfast the farmer
hitched up his team and drove to a
neighbor's three miles away and dickered
for a rooster, which he finally
bought. Then he carried me rwaici
four miles to the town of Rochester
and sold it within an hour. As he
drove home he fancied himself a financier
in a small way. Another farmer
passed him.
" 'Hello, Si,' he called: 'where you
been?'
" 'Oh, speclatin* a little,' he answered.
" 'What you been spec latin' of, Si?'
" 'Well, says Si, 'I bought me a rooster
of Hen Jones for 47 cents and tuk
it tew Rochester and sold it for 58
cents. Jus' a spec'latin' a little, that's
all.?New York Tribune.
What He Told the Judge.?Representative
Clayton, of Alabama, tells
a story of the way a representative
Texas lawyer rebuffed a judge who
was disconcerting with him questions:
"It is on S. H. Cowan, a prominent
lawyer of the Lone Star State, and attorney
for the National Cattlemen's
association. They had a judge in Texas
who was a terror to the lawyers.
I reckon he was something nice me iaie
Mr. Justice Miller, for he would go at
the lawyers practising in his court and
evidently try to . bowl them off their
feet by vigorous questioning.
"Well, Cowan, then a young lawyer,
was trying a case before three judges,
of whom the man I have just mentioned
was one. He went for Cowan severely,
and the lawyer was nearly out
of the ring at such a bombardment of
questions from the bench.
" 'Now, don't be disconcerted by my
questions, Mr. Cowan,' said this judge.
. 'Answer me just as you would the justice
of the peace over in your county
if you were trying a case before him.'
"At that Cowan was ready, quick as
a flash.
" 'I always tell him,' said he, boldly,
'to keep his mouth shut.'
"The other two judges could not refrain
from laughter at that sort of rebuff.
" 'This judge,' remarked the chief
Justice gravely, 'will now have to keep
his mouth shut.*"
A Story About Schwab.?Charles M.
Schwab when he was a boy attended
the village school of Loretto, Pa., and
in Loretto they still tell the story of
young Schwab and the brick, says the
Pittsburg Gazette.* It seems that the
schoolmaster was an ardent geologist.
He had ordered 'one day that each of
the children bring to school a specimen
of some sort, and these specimens he
would designate and describe one by
one. Accordingly on the appointed day
a great armload of stones was brought
to the little building, but young
Schwab's contribution to the armload
was a broken brick. In due course the
master took up the specimens.
"This," he said. "Is a piece of feldspar
from the crossroads.
"This Is a piece of marl from the
meadow.
"This Is a piece of argillaceous sandstone
from the quarry.
"And this," he thundered, taking up
the broken brick?"this is a piece of
Impudence from Charles_Schwab."
Not Such a Fool.?A young man
who had returned home from South
Africa, where he had been for his
health, narrated his adventures to his
father, and told him among other
things he had bought a silver mine for
$1,000, says London Tit-Bits.
"I knew they'd swindle you!" exclaimed
the old man. "So you were
fool enough to buy a humbug mine?"
"Yes, but I didn't lose anything. I
formed a company and sold half the
stock to a Londoner for $1,500."
"Y'you did?" gasped the old man,
turning white. "I'll bet I'm the one
who bought it."
"Exactly so," coolly observed the
young man, as he crossed his legs and
asked his father whose turn it was
now.
Fit For Wholesale.?According to
an Edinburgh paper, a farmer drove a
fine bull with a scrubby tall Into the
market recently, and wnue ne was gazing
at it reflectively a solemn friend
approached. "Ye'll hae to sell th' beast
wholesale," said he.
The owner came from his reverie.
"What fer?"
"Well," assured the solemn friend,
nodding his head toward the scrubby
"pendal accaudage" and pursing
his lips, "well, ye can't have him retailed."?London
Globe.
Among the Lawyers.?"Barker,
what's your opinion of Marlowe?"
"Do you want my professional opinion
of him or just my casual impression?"
"Well, professional."
"He's an ass."
"What's your casual opinion?"
"He's another ass."
"What's the difference?"
"I charge six and eightpence for the
first."?London Telegraph.

Rock Hill Herald, February 25: Mr.

W. Barrpn died Monday at the home of
his brother-in-law, F. C. Harris, in
Pinevllle. Yesterday the remains arrived
in Rock Hill and in the afternoon
were interred in the Ebsnezer cemetery.
Deceased was about 55 or 60
years of age, and formerly lived near
Tirzah, where he was born and raised.
Mr. Barron was a brother of Mrs. J.
H. Williamson and Mrs. W. H. Williamson,
also of this county Lovely
Sanders is an unmarried colored girl
about 18 years of age and is the mother
of a three-weeks-old infant. Saturday
night Dr. Stevens was summoned to
her home near the cemetery to see the
infant, and when he arrived there he
found it suffering terribly from burns
made on . its mouth, chin and neck, evidently
by carbolic acid. The mother,
said that a little colored girl from another
family had come into her home
and while the infant was lying on her
lap, the little girl gave the baby something
which she said was water, and
then ran out of the house, having a
small bottle in her hand at the time.
A few minutes after the arrival of Dr.
Stevens the infant apparently died, but
a few seconds later it gasped and thus
continued until yesterday morning,
when it was to all appearances some
better. It was not able to swallow even
a drop of water the night before, and
now it is possible it may recover. The
girl's story as to how the Infant was
given carbolic acid is accepted with
much doubt and it might be well for
the authorities to look into the facts.

estate and Dr. C. E. Adams, lying along
the route of the C. & N.-W. spur from
the Franklin avenue crossing to the
depot, which may result In litigation,
though no legal steps have been taken
in the matter as yet. The property
owners served notice on the C. & N.W.
people some days ago forbidding
them to construct a broad gauge track
on the section above mentioned, claiming
that the original grant of the right
of way specified that it was for a "narrow
gauge" road. The railroad, however,
did not heed the notice and what
further steps will be taken cannot be
ascertained.

Advice to Young Men on How to
Succeed.
James J. Hill, president of the Great
Northern Railroad company, consented
the other day to speak about
his early struggles to succeed in life
and the things that had helped him.
In doing so he said he was moved
largely by the hope that his experience
might be the source from which
some of the young people of America
could draw their inspirations to mount
the ladder of life.
Briefly, Mr. Hill asserts that conditions
today present more opportunities
for young men to acquire millions
than when he carved out his fortune;
that, in his estimation, the Western
Hemisphere is entering upon an era of
prosperity, in comparison with which
the big things of the industrial world
during the past decade will be the
merest pygmies, and that no boy need
feel that he is required to seek his
fortune beyond the confines of this
country, since, in his judgment, the
United Stains will be the centre of the
industrial wave for some years to
conie.
"Give the rules which have governed
me in my life work? I can't say that
I have had any rules. I attribute it
all to work?and a measure of good
luck," and Mr. Hill smiled, as if he
did not take the "good-luck" feature
seriously.
"Let me see. This thing: of laying l
down a set of rules to govern one's i
career, or to run back over a life-time i
of hard knocks, and say just what i
rule contributed to my good fortune <
is not easy for me. In the first place, 1
I was born on a farm?a Canadian i
farm. That was in 1838.
"This is a good beginning, for it i
means a sound body as a rule. In oth- 1
er words, It starts a chap right. That's i
half of the battle; I might say It is i
everything, because a bad start means ;
a big handicap in the race. But as far i
as rules go, I would say those that l
have helped me to succeed are: 'Work, <
hard work. Intelligent work, and then ]
IIIV1 C n vim
"A sound body and a sound mind; I
had both of these, though I left school
when 14J years old and never got time
to see inside a school house again. An i
education, however, is indispensable.
I do not mean necessarily college
training. An education comes frequently
with contact with the world;
studying conditions, life as you see it.
"Don't mortgage your future. Practically
have an eye to securing the
benefits' of what you earn. Look ahead
to the point where you are determined
to get into business for yourself. If
you are not worth your hire you cannot
be hired, and if you can earn
money for another you can earn more
for yourself.
"Be satisfied to start in a small way.
Too many young men want to begin
to pile on before the foundation is finished,
and what they accumulate they
cannot retain. A slow beginning
makes a permanent business.
"Be economical, but not penuriouB.
This is not a distinction without a difference
between the mind built on the
broad gauge and the narrow. It is
the difference between great things
and small things, between boundless
success that sheds a generous share of
its prosperity on the whole community
and a meagre competency that distinguishes
the miser from the man of
affairs.
"Have confidence in your own future
and conditions generally. Men prefer
the optimist to the pessimist. The
bright side of things is a view that
helps a chap forward.
"Even if the worst occurs a person
has more strength to meet it from
having taken a complacent view of
the situation. When a fellow has put
forth his best efforts, been thoroughly
alert, done the best he could, he has
no room for worry.
"The selection of a vocation is quite
important. My experience is that
those things are largely matters of
chance. I don't think I ever expected
as a young man to get into the
railroad business.
"Having chosen a profession, I do
not think a young man is warranted
in sticking to it when he feels that he
is not fitted for it. or that he sees a
better opportunity to acquire wealth
in another direction.
"I was first a farmer, then a merchant's
clerk, then a fariper, a laborer,
a clerk, a builder of steamboats,
a constructor of railroads as a subcontractor,
and then stockholder and
owner. So, again came the question of
confidence in one's ability to discern
that which is best for him and to
strive for that regardless of opposition.
In other words, it is the confidence
that enables the young man to take
risks without which great things can
never be accomplished. .
"Perhaps you might accept these
outlines as the rules which I have observed
through life. The young man
should not make the mistake today of
imagining that conditions are not as
favorable as at any time in the past
century for the poor boy acquiring
wealth.
"The world Is In its infancy, especially
the western world. Industrial
development is just beginning. Agriculture,
mining, contracting, shipping,
railroading, land speculating, merchantile
life and manufacturing offer
every inducement for the ambitious
youth today to become a man of millions.
"Money is so plentiful that a determined
boy of worth can borrow all he
needs. Bankers accept the element of
prospects in lending money as well as
ability to pay, and there is no more
promising prospect of a monetary
value than youth, ambition and grit,
backed by western intelligence.
Therefore, the way is, if anything,
more easy, that is, the way to the top.
"The real struggle is at the bottom.
There is where the ranks are crowded.
The fight is very fierce there. When
you begin to get away frdm the crowd
it is easier.
"You pass many commercial derelicts,
failures and wrecks of men along
the way, but the great trouble is in
getting started up. Everything seems
to contribute to hold a man down until
he starts, then everything" turns to
boost him up after he has secured a
start. That is the way of the world.
"My father's farm was located four
miles south of Rockwood, Ont., Canada.
James Dunbar Hill, my father,
was not very prosperous. The farm
was not very fertile and my early experience
was that of a very little boy
on a very big farm.
"I recall that my father frequently
remarked that he could trace our family
tree back sixteen generations
through Scotland and Ireland. To this
I attribute my mental and physical
vigor.
"I had to walk four miles to the
Quaker academy at Rockwood. The
average boy today would think this a
mighty hard way to get an education,
and it was.
"One winter, arrangements were
made by which I remained in Rockwood.
I paid part of my tuition by
doing chores around the> little old
academy. I don't think I studied any
harder than any other fourteen-year- ;
old boy, but I had much work to do. <
"Then the exigencies of my family i
required me to begin to make a return <
for my livhig. That was in the spring |
of 1853, and I began to clerk in a gen- i
eral store at the crossroads. I con- 1
tinued this employment, occasionally ]
varying it with a little work on the ,
farm until I was 19 years old. i
"T wns rlissn Hsfiprl nnri vet when T i
look back to those days, it was very j
pleasant. Altogether, life is always i
pleasant in youth, little matter the 1
condition. But I had concluded to go j
to the United States. \
"I made up my mind that I would t
lave a better chance In the western
dates, which were then just beginning
to attract settlerB. Perhaps I
night have done just as well In Canala;
but I did not think so. Others
emained there and prospered. I have
nany relations today around Guelph.
"I had not saved sufficient money
to make the trip west, so I went over
to Syracuse, N. Y., and worked a few
months on a farm. That was the
spring of 1858. It was July 4th of that
year I started west. I can never forget
the day, for it was a big day in
my life and also a big day in the life
of the American republic?their independence
day.
"When I reached St. Paul, a week
later, i practically naa not a uuimr iu
my name, and knew not a single Individual
there. This was the outpost of
civilization in the northwest then. I
liked it, and I enjoyed particularly the
rough, cordial welcome the westerners
gave all newcomers.
"My progress was mighty slow for
ten years. It consisted of some rough
experience. I, w^s without what is
known as a 'trade,' and this was
against me. I was forced to do manual
labor. Still, I mingled with rough-andready
people, and it sharpened my
wits.
"That was my matriculation into the
western college life, and my education
was rapid and thorough. When
I was handling baggage as a railroad
employee in those days, I cannot say
that I ever expected to own a railroad.
I did intend, however, not to work
for another jnan all my life, though I
believe I work harder today than I did
then.
"Then, at leaBt, I had no cares 11 my
wages were small. With Increased Income
came additional burdens. I became
a shipbuilder in a small way.
This was my introduction into the
transportation world.
"My hours of work? Well, I try to
work as much as I can, as I have a
good many things to look after. Of
course, I don't get up like I used to on
the farm before daylight, though I see
many stories to that effect. I rise at
7 o'clock. I can't sleep after that, and
I get around to my office about 9.
Sometimes I get away by 5 and sometimes
not until midnight. That just
depends.
"But American boys should make
up their minds that they have as fine
opportunities at home today for getting
rich as anywhere in the world. It
is usually easier to acquire fortune in
a new country than an old.
"The west is the centre of great
enterprises at present. Great fortunes
are to be made there in the next decade.
My final advice to the young
men of America is to be alert, keep
AkM?naf a# Hmoa anr? crroan nnnnr
auicaoi ui biic tnuvo u*.v? wrrv.
tunity when he passes by, holding on
to him firmly. Prepare yourself to recognize
him when you see him, too.
That is quite important."
President Hill has an eye always to
advancing merit, even though he at
the same time advances his own interests.
It is related that he had more
than once observed the enormous expense
of his different roads for the long
lines of rubber hose used at nearly
every station for'filling tanks of cars,
sprinkling lawns and kindred work.
He bought an improved quality of
hose, but the dragging of the line over
the platform surface usually wore it
out in a short time. Away out on a
mountain division at a small station,
he observed a day laborer filling the
tank of a dining car with a piece of
hose, around which was wrapped an
old piece of telegraph wire, coil-like.
He asked the man what that was for.
"To allow me to drag it around
without destroying it," was the reply.
The problem was solved, and the
invention saved the company thou

er is now one of the chief mechanical
men on the Great Northern.
Mr. Hill is too alert to let anything
escape him. Examining the operating
expense account, he noted the increased
consumption of coal on the engines.
He figured down the average quantity
of coal consumed by each engine,
and posted a bulletin, offering each
engine crew half of the value of all
coal they could save monthly under
this established average. Each engine
had its separate account. The first
year the company divided with the
men some $30,000. Now it is an established
rule, each side profiting.
Not long ago, some five years, in a
vreck, a conductor, who had been a
medical student, saved the lives of two
%
passengers who were bleeding to death
by the simple process of tying a handkerchief
around their lacerated arms,
making a windlass of a stick and
twisting it around until the hemorrhage
ceased.
The president rewarded the man,
and at once required the conductors
and the enginemen of the entire sys
tem to take a course in First Aid to
the Injured, which the company instituted.
Now, when a passenger gets
hurt on his lines, Mr. Hill knows he
has always present several experienced
men to render immediate aid until the
surgeon can arrive. The company
spent $50,000 establishing this system.
For every life thus saved the company
reaps a reward in avoiding damage
suits, to say nothing of preserving
human life.?St. Paul letter to New
York Sun.
He Liked Our Pretty Nurses.?Dr.
Lorenz is going to educate German
trained nurses to be equal to the American
variety, if he lives long enough.
He says that he is making efforts to
that effect "for the American trained

though," he added, "that our people
will not believe what I say of this
fine body of assistants to medicine and
health. With us a trained nurse is a
servant, with you she is a lady, either
a woman or girl of most excellent education.
I don't wonder so many rich
gentlemen marry their nurses after an
acquaintance full of sunshine, health'ulness
and mental improvement." The
professor continued, "We need the
\merican trained nurse as much as the
lew big hospital now in the course of
onstruction here needs the glorious
\merican improvements which I adnired
in dliferent parts of the country.
[ will work hard to obtain these 1mirovements
for the institute: I will
vork harder still to get nurses after
he American pattern."
