but his father paid for his apartments
and his board at the Windsor hotel, Fifth
avenue. The young man really never
wanted for anything that was good for
him. But work! Did not his father
work before him! When George NJ. Pull
man is gathered to his fathers his vanity
will have inscribed on his monument,
Here lies one who began life poor man.
He died worth --n' Only George NJ.
Pullman can fill that blank He has al
ready given one monument to this city.
With great presence of mind he chose
to commemorate the massacre of Chicago,
which happened in 1912. In front of Pull
mans house, on Prairie avenue, is d dead
cottonwood tree. IL has not been dead so
very long 1t dropped its last leaves in
1887, melancholy tributes TO Chicago's
growth and gas and deadly smoke. But
it was an aged tree when Chicago con-
sisted of Kinzie's house., Burns house,
Fort Dearborn, and an Indian settlement.
Capt. Head, the commandant of the fort,
his garrison and the white inhabitants
set out for Detroit. They were betrayed
by the Indians, and, after desperate re-
sistance, they were massacred. The
slaughter took place under the old cotton
wood tree where Pullman's house now
stands. So there he put up monument,
and very handsome and ornamental
monument it is.
HIS CRoNIES OF TO-DAY.
Pullman's cronies now are Marshall
Field, John M. Doape, who came here
from Connecticut made millions in co fee,
and is heavy stockholder in the Pull
man company, and John NJ Clark, for
merly collector of this port. Field is the
very anathesis Of Pullman. Field is a
little compact man, who will wear a red
necktie and diamond shirt stud A fire
crackery sort OF man
is Marshall Field, whose manner
seems to say: 'I'm Marshall F'ield"-fizz
= worth $4,000, 900" - bang, bang -
MADE it all myself''-crack, bang-''I'm
hustler, am''-bang, bang, bang, bang
Pullman's great diversion is a game Of
poker. He loves poker.
He was playing one Saturday night and
so deep was he in the game
so deeply interested, of course-that
Sunday morning came before anybody
knew it and caught them in the middle of
jackpot.
Look here, /" said some one at the ia
BILE ''thls is setting mighty bad example
to the servants"
IN tell you WHAT answered Pull
man, 'we'll play out this rot and who
ever wins il must send it TO his church. ;"
When it came TO a showdown Pullman
won. Next morning he sent money, some
$500 or 1900. to the pastor in note that
p
the money to the church's needs and was
signed ~. PoJt" From the pulpit that
day the minister informed the congrega-
ton of his church of the generosity Of
Mr.. Pott, vino, he much regretted TO say,
he did know"
OF all of Pullmsn's servants, the man
who holds him in the highest awe and
veneration is Arthur, king Of all palace
car porters. Pullman has white servants
IN his house, but colored In his sta bles
Arthur is co!ored; Pullman's personal at
tendant on his private car, and when Pull
man Is in Chicago Arthur is usually TO be
found sitting like a watch dog outside his
oitice door. limitation" says the pro-
verb, lis the slncerest fiattery, Arthur
mimics Pullman's mann erisms, his walk,
his voice so exactly that when both are
invisible IL is hard 70 tell which one is
talking. Arthur does not wear eye
glasses. He does not need them. But
when he talks he seiles an imaginary pair
| Of eyeglasses between his thumb and
| fore finger and emphasizes his words with
! his black hand. But IN passing from
white TO black self-assertion becomes
| pomposity and self-conhdence becomes
self-assertion.
