couraged in his quest after wealth, even
if he has passed the 40 year limit and is
still poor man. Ii 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 III 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 ont how TO continue, and
you must have conserved your physical
and mental powers by right living. It's
difficult thing and requires the exer-
else of every ability, this getting more
than an ordinary share of this worlds
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
were 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-
yond peradventure. since, although his
operations before that time had been on
q large scale, he was yet liable to miss
fire and 90 TO the bottom OF the financial
sea at any time previous to his fortieth
birthday. His position, moreover, was
that of 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 ID. 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 80 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 So, 600, 900 as his
own. His subsequent financial fall is
well remembered, and so is his rise

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 lie
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 rs such became one of those
who tenanted the famous Brook Farm
Then he was writer for the managing
editor of the New York Tribune, under
Greeley, at the moderate wages of $50
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 newspaper and chose Chi
cago for its location. but the venture
was so flat a failure tina; 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 a few
capitalists see the matter as he saw il.
The result was rs lac expected
james Gordon Bennett, tho founder
of the New York Herald, was between
30 and 40 when he started his paper.
but il 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 heen = succession of re-
verses. He had worked witha iierceness
that knew no encouragement 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 sor2o 5ime, and,
full of hope, started the New York
Globe, but this venture failed, and for
the same reason that Dma's Chicago
paper failed, some thirty odd years later.
