Chauncey NJ. Depew's benign smile
deepened to one of amusement when
asked how to get rich in summer.
should look up all my valuables and
sell them, or work few weeks and
save my money until | could boast 500.
This money l would wrap up in my
wallet and take it to some good man
say a railroad president who knew me.
| would say, Mr.. President, please IN
vest this for me. l want a share OF
your best stocll-stock that pays 1000
per cent. year
THE President would look at me sar-
castically. But he would say in gruff
tones under his aquiline nose, Leave
the money.
This I would do. In a month
should call and say Mr.. President,
have come for my first interest. I'll
take it in cash Unrollling his wallet
he would count out the bills in my
hand. That is the interest up to date
he would say. In another month |
should call again. And again. BY this
time it would be fall and | should be
rich, living off the income of my bond.
Mr.. Depew smiled himself out of the
door into his private Office, in the ur-
bane manner so typical Of him, but as
he disappeared from view he put back
his head long enough to say, Il may
have overdraWn q little to make my
point plain, but there's more truth than
poetry in that advice about getting
rich-look up your rich friends"
A TOWN" OF OLD HORSE CARS.
A friend of Roswell p Flower, whose
wealth was made by himself, tells this
story of the statesman's scheme for
York by train" said he, land Mr..
Flower had been talking Of money
making IS being essential to a mans
happiness, until sufficiently acquired,
and more than once he commented upon
the virtue of mOney-making as giving
life-needed things. If | wanted to make
pile quick said he, ] should find a
vacant lot within the city limits and
become the proprietor of a Shanty-
town. I mean, taking 1t for granted
that have very little capital. not more

lot would give me permission to use IL;
for wnere there are good vacant places
in town the estate is tied up, or there is
some reason that is not easily overcome
and so he would not need it himself. |
should next visit the car-shops and get
discarded horse-cars with disabled
wheels and gearing, and these ! would
draw to the lot, stationing them as
houses" here and there.
"T would SOW grass seed around to
give each a yard, and | would keep on
drawing the cars until there was a
comfortable little village. | have seen
families very comfortably domiciled in
old horse-cars, and mine would be
taken instantly at a third OF tenement
rents. but still q tidy sum, considering.
The tenants could build summer htch-
ems" or what they pleased. And my
shantytown would be making money
for me all summer-yes and all win
ter. for cars are tight and warm-much
warmer than shantytown houses gen
orally are. In one of the worst shanty-
towns of New York the leaky wooden
houses rent for S. a month quickly.
Fancy, then, the popularity Of my set
tlementw
There is a scheme afoot for making
million dollars this summer in very
large city. whose name must not be
given. nor the name of the protector OF
the enterprise. The money required IS
only S.. 900. and with it the man-who is
q great capitalist-eXpects to make an
other pile before the new year bells are
ringing. The SCENE is to build very
comfortable hotel opposite a certan
large cemetery. The idea was suggest
ed bv the fact that one Sunday, visiting
the family lot at Woodlawn, the gentle
men saw twenty carriages In front OF
small tavern. while ladies IN mourning
robes ordered something to eat to keep
them from falnting In the heat and DIS
tress Of the occasion. There will be
trade NJ $500 a day" declares this ner-
w canftalist. "and I am going TO nave
onIv ov.ters. beefsteak, roast beef ana
eandwiches TO eat. with hot soup OF one
Lind There will be everything 10
d,.in1E 7 will have a ladies parlor ana
80, small diping-roOms, but the prin-
cipai trade will be in carrying tnlhss
ont tn the carriages for those VINO Inust

Tho notion isn't a bad one and may
chow the way to fortune Tor more
than one person.
PULLMAN SAYS LOOK AT THE
WANTS"
George NJ Pullman, when interview
oil ON the subject of making money
o,,icl1lv said. There is only one way
70 give the people something they
INT That Is the way | built up my
hTsiness should look well and
etoadilv night and day to find sop<
+bino wanted. Better a months search
ond q dav of success than quick ven
t,,rae and no success. What is the best
wav 10 find what is needed? One way
&c Inv asking friends. But by far the
host lies in buying the daily newspa-
ners People here pay money for tell
ipo what they want. and the searcher
- the wants" shall find. That is the
onickest way for a person not trained
IN a profession or business, ana even
for those who are.
THESE men have all made their
nile" none quickly and all by per-
sonal hard work. doing yeoman's duty
in some particular field of endeavor;
and il is nightly instructive to find
how they. looking backward upon ex-
nerience and forward towards new en-
deavor. would 20 10 work again TO get
rich in a single summer.
