It was an ''organ," and Bennett was no
more fitted to edit an organ than was
Dana.
By 1885, however, Mr.. Bennett had
revised his notions of the sort of paper
he was fitted to run, and one morning
he got out the first issue of the paper
that was 20 win so much for him. His
office was in a cellar in Ann street The
counter over which the papers were sold
to newsboys and individual purchasers
was board resting on the heads of two
barrels, and the seller of the papers was
Bennett himself, seated behind the
board in splint bottomed chair. The
paper made sensation even on the first
day. Bennett had written most of its
contents himself and had slashed right
and left. None was too high, none too
low, for him to attack The small edi-
ton was exhausted before noon. Next
dry the edition was larger. The growth
continued, too but it is doubtful if it
would have succeeded after all had not
a pillmaker, then well known to all
the world, offered to insert a large
standing advertisement in the paper
and to advance the payment money for
the first quarter. The pillmaker's con-
fdence in Bennett and his Herald was
justified. The advertising brought enor-
NOUS sales Of pills, and also it tided the
paper over its most critical period In
fact, both men got rich through that ad-
vertisement.

The late A. I. Stewart is not often

Stewart did not become rich before 40.
He was a merchant before that time. to

ness plans were inadequate and that he

wealth.

make them famous might be extended

most as hard as the first. John II. Star
in, whose steamboats, are known to all
who dwell in or visit New York, had
most of his wealth to win at 40. He
was born in a little town in the interior
of the state, where he carried on small
drug business and kept the postofice. z
change of Observation-Disclosures voted
for Scott, but Taylor was e1ected-de-
prived him of the Office, and he some
times found it hard to make payments
when they came due. Finally he be-
thought himself of the value of adver-
Using. He increased his business in
that way to some extent and later went
into the river and harbor transportation
business some time in the sixties. At
40 he was started in this line, but he
was not rich. His wealth came later.
Charles A. Dana, the rich and bril-
liant editor of the New York Sun, was
a poor man at 40. After his college days
he was an enthusiastic social reformer
who would think it now to read The
Sun?-and as such became one of those
who tenanted the famous Brook Farm.
Then he was a writer for the managing
editor of the New York Tribune, under
Greeley, at the moderate wages of $40
a week. When the civil war came, Mr..
Dana was made assistant secretary of
war by Stanton and detailed to duty
much of the time in the field. After the
war he thought himself well qualified
to conduct a newspaper and chose Chi
cago for its location, but the venture
was so fat a failure that some men
would have been clean discouraged.
Dana was not. He went to New York
and bought The Sun without money of
his own. He was sure his plans, revised
after his experiences in the west, where
he had published an "organ, were
good, and he succeeded in making few
capitalists see the matter as he saw it.
The result was as he expected.
James Gordon Bennett, the founder
of the New York Herald, was between
80 and 40 when he started his paper,
but it was years after that when he be-
came rich His life down to the day the
first number Of his little penny sheet
was issued had been a succession of re-
verses. He had worked with a fierceness
that knew no discOuragementf for wages
a third class clerk of today would turn
up his nose at, and he had saved every
cent he possibly could. In 1882 he left
the New York Inquirer, on which he
had been employed for some time, and,
full of hope, started the New York
Globe, but this venture failed, and for
the same reason that Dana's Chicago
paper failed, some thirty odd years later.

couraged in his quest after wealth, even
if he has passed the 40 year limit and is
still poor man. 1t is true that there
is no hope unless something or other has
been accumulated before the 40 year
limit is reached, but that something
need not necessarily be money. The
stores of that wisdom which is acquired
only by experience are often of greater
value than mere dollars, even in the
pursuit of wealth, but in order to make
proper use of what you have learned so
as to win riches after 40 you must also
have found out how to continue, and
you must have conserved your physical
and mental powers by right living. It's
a difficult thing and requires the exer-
else of every ability, this getting more
than an ordinary share of this world S
goods in the face of the fierce competi
ton of today.
There are four other fortunes besides
Sage's that stand out pre-eminent in
America because Of their size and the
fact that each was made great almost
beyond the possibility of dissipation by
the efforts of one man. These fortunes
wero made by Jay Gould, Commodore
Vanderbilt, John Jacob Aston and John
D. Rockefeller Only the last named of
these men is now alive. He was we'll
started by 40, but he was not rich be-
You'd peradyenture; since, although his
operations before that time had been on
q large scale, he was yet liable to miss
fire and go to the bottom of the financial
sea at any time previous to his fortieth
birthday. His position, moreover, was
that of a man who, in order to win,
must have faith in himself and his
opinion. In faith he was not found
wanting. He believed that the. supply
of petroleum was practically inexhaust-
ible, and he went ahead on that basis.
His companions in business sometimes
differed with him; but, encouraged by
his example, they all continued, and the
result has been the upbuilding of re-
markable group Of Standard Oil for
tunes, of which John D. Rockefeller's is
the greatest, and some say the greatest
in the whole world. Jay Gould got rich
before 40, but the founders of both the
Vanderbilt and Astor fortunes were
nearer so than 40 before they had got
enough together to be able to consider
themselves really rich, and the same
may be said of many lesser financial
lights, less than those above mentioned,
but yet sufficiently we'll to do to be
spoken of as wealthy by all the rest
of us.
Samuel J. Tilden had made some
thing of name for himself before he
was 40 and had become known to some
extent in politics, but he did not begin
that devotion to the legal profession
which won for him great wealth till
afterward. Henry Willard. who has been
poor and rich and poor and rich again,
was Al when, in 1874, he began his
operations in Oregon railroads, but nine
years later he counted SIS, 900, 900 as his
own. His subsequent financial fall is
we'll remembered, and so is his rise
again to millionairedom after he was
so. Webster Wagner, whose sleeping
and drawing room cars go wherever go
the Vanderbilt lines of rail, was a sta
ton agent at a small place ON the New
York Central when his fortieth birth
day came, in 1857, and he so remained

is argued, however, by some that while
this woman did right, at the same time
she committed murder and the law
against murder must be fulfilled lest
another class of females take advantage
of the precedent which would be estab-

is this never thought of in the case of
men9 Yet it is said that women have all
the rights they can want or need, more
even than men, Is it true? Do men and

A WICHITA preacher, Rev Mr.. Funk,
started out the other day to assist the po-
lice in closing up the joints in the
"Beerless Princess" When he returned
home and went out to feed his horse, he
found the following from jOintist in the
feed box: "If you want men of my bust
ness to get out of Kansas SO badly surely
you will not regret the loss of your horse
You have lost horse and jointist, but
you have gained a victory for God and
morality, and you ought to be satisfied"
The Rev. Mr.. Funk is not satisfied, how
ever, and he wants the 'jointist" and the
horse brought back; the horse at any
rate.
