prises. Every man who works for him
must be precise as George NJ. Pullman.
The conductor of one of his cars one day
saw toothpick on the velvet carpet in it.
He turned to the porter
For heavens sake, pick up that tooth
pick, said he. 'If Mr. Pullman see it
he'll swear it's log of wood"
Not long ago something happened in
Pullman that particularly displeased him.
He sent for his general manager, to whom
he pays a salary of $4,000.
Brown" said he, looking straight
through Brown with his little round
eyes. ''Brown," said he, "siJ right down
there, take a pen and paper and write out
for me what I pay you for. For Pm

BUT ONE LAWYER BEsTED HIM.
Never but once did man retire from
a raking over by George M. Pullman I'M
abashed and unhumiliated. He was the
man who had the company's legal affairs
in hand. Pullman sent for him.
MIR. So-and-so," he said, in the rasp-
ing voice that anger lends him, what
are you doing in your department."

lawyer, cool as a cucumber.
What! what!' exclaimed Pullman,
spluttering, Il ask you what you are do

"Oh," ah-that's all Mr.. So-and-so.
Good day, sir.
There was nothing to do, the great
corporations affairs were in perfect
shape.
Pullman never talks much he seems to
be afraid to waste words lest some one
gather them up and cash them in. When
he does talk he seizes his gold-rimmed
eyeglasses by the nose piece between his

sizes his words by waving the eye glasses.
If a fly lights on his nose he brushes 1t
away with the eyeglasses; when he re-
fleets he scratches his head with the eye
glasses. Nature has planted a goatee at
the end of Pullmans chin, which would
be eminently useful to pull thoughts to-
gether. But he prefers the eyeglasses.
Perhaps because the use of them in
gesturing gives him an opportunity to
show his hands. He has beautiful hands,
round and white, with well-shaped fin
gers. And his finger nails are his intens-
est pride No short card gambler ever
took such care of his nails. They are
scraped and polished and manicured until
they shine with the luster of pink pearls.
His hands are the hands of an autocrat,
of courtler-
Ordinarily Pullman is most courteous.
He has a lovely air, that well becomes a
millionaire of twenty years standing

No one could ever let man know that
the conversation between them was at an
end so politely and quickly. For Pull
man never argues. Does it not take two
to make an argumentl Pullman utters
dictum, makes a pronunciamento; a frig-
1dity permeates the atmosphere and
words CONCEAL.
HE'S CBICAGo's BEAU BRUMMEL.
To add to his courteous air, Pullman is
always well dressed But that is only an
outward manifestation of his precision.
He dresses in mourning, and his clothes
are cut in an old-fashioned style. For
example. he wears a single-breasted
froc< coat. while most civilized presl-
dents of corporations who stand well
with their tailOrs wear double-breasted
frock coats. Pallman's trousers are or
rather antique cut, too. But they nj hlm
