A Dollar Went Further Those Days.

A wag, when told that George Wash
ington threw a dollar over the natural
bridge of Virginia, replied that dol
lar went further in those days than
now. The wag, though witty, was
wrong; for a dollar never went so far
as now, if it be invested in Dr.. Pierce S
Golden Medical Discovery, which is
universally acknowledged to be a spe-
cif1c for consumption, bronchitis and all
wasting diseases. The nutritive prop
critics of Cod liver oil are trif1ing when
compared with the results that follow
the use of the Discovery"
Dr. R. V Pierce. Buffalo, N. Y: Sir
About the year 1890 I was attacked
with a sereve hacking cough. 1 took
medicine from different doctors for two
years, without much benefit My cough
grew worse and the doctors said I had
consumption. I had hemorrhage from
the lungs, and coughed up great deal
of phlegm. After reading of the many
cures effected by DR.. Pierce's Golden
Medical discovery, I procured two bot
ties and before I had finished using the
first, was able to walk about the house,
and to go out. I was SOON able to do
light work. I continued with the medi-
cine, and am happy to say that it
saved my life, and entirely cured me.
at is the best medicine in the world
for all lung troubles" Sincerely,

of them, in trying to achieve it, wreck

haps never dismay the others, and the
race goes merrily or.
Who are the kings of today? A
glance at this list tells the story, and
gives a good idea Of the composition of
Uncle Sans royal family:
Theodore A. Havemeyer, sugar king,
S6O,oO0,OoO
Anthony N. Brady, gas king, S3OOoO,-
OOO
Phillip D. Armour, beef king, s4O-

100000.
John D. Rockefeller, oil king. $780,

w. S. Stratton, gold king, $90,000,000.
Mrs. Richard King, land queen, $685.,
oOO,0OO
This list. of course, does not cover all
of the kings and queens. but it in
cludes the great leaders and the most
august powers. And the powers Of
these men are not small. 1t is the
mower of money, and the kings and
queens of Europe have had to bow
their naughty heads in acknowledge
nent OF its potent influence more than
once. The Rothschilds could tell some
Interesting stories. if they would, about
that. Even Bismarck, the man of iron,
in the days of his strongest power, had
to knuclle down when one of the
Rothschilds threatened to break every
hank IN Berlin unless he relinquished
o cherished plan. Bismarck preserved
the financial integrity of the empire
NV doing as he was bid. So the power
of money is. in times Of emergency,
greater than the power of kings.
With three exceptions, the CONNER
cial kings above named created their
own kingdoms
IN one or two instances, bare-faced,
bald-headed luck aided in the building
of the fortresses of wealth. But in
+be mo iority Of cases tireless work and
oeaseless industry were the potent fac
tors. These men are living ilustra-
tons of the stories told in Sunday
school books and in literature prepared
for good little boys.
AN EX-SAUSAGE PEDDLER.
Take the case Of Henry Miller, the
cattle king, for instance. Very little
is known of him. except on the Pacific
slope. East of the Mississippi few have
ever heard of him. Yet, he owns $4,000
square miles of grazing land, and
hogs and cattle by the tens of thous-
ands. How much he is worth, il is
hard to say He never has much ready
money. As fast as money comes in he
buys more land, and more cattle to
Craze in it. Land and cattle are a
mania with him. He buys more land
Is raise more cattle. and he raises
lore cattle to buy more land.
Forty years ago he was a sausage
peddler. Miller is not exactly fitting
character for a Sunday school story.
He swears prodigiously, fights all the
time. and some of his money making
methods are open to question But the
hundreds CT rough men in his employ
have a sort of admiration for lin. A
visitor to one of the Miller ranches
gives this explanation Of it:
sThe cowboys were yelling and the
smoking brands were soaring the hair
The Salt Lake herald. [volume] (Salt Lake City [Utah]) 1870-1909, 1896-02-02

from the tanks Of the Miller stock,
ana there was all the noise and dirt
and heat and evil smell of a branding
rodeo. Active among the men, swear
ing more than any of them and dirtier
than most, was tllick-set chap whose
oaths came with a strong German &C
cent. This was Henry Miller. owner
Of ali the cattle and all the land in
sight and a hundred times more land.
Another working, sweating, swear
ing man was Croker, manager of the
ranch. Croker had a branding iron
in his hand, and he was about to apply
1t to the flank of a believing calf At
him rushed Miller and grabbed him
roughly by the shoulder. You -
- dhe blanks stand for the Ian
guage which the cattlemen hear more
than any othe~ on the range). You
don't know how to use a brand. I'll
show you
Around swung the big fist of the
ranch manage catching Miller full in
the face. Miller responded with a
kick, and then they clinched and rolled
around in the ruck of the corral, up
setting branding furnaces, stanpeding
the stock and interrupting proceedings
generally. But Croker was mostly on
top, and when the fight was over the
millionaire cattle owner was very CORY
and unhandsome indeed. Miller wiped
the blood from his face. The employee
proceeded TO tell him all the details
of the work on the ranch, including
some that had to be attended to at
once.
why, what's the matter with your
doing it?' said Miller.
q Well ! supposed after what's hap
pened that I'd have to pull my
freight
BAH Don't make a - fool of
yourself because I made - fool of
myself You go ahead and attend to
your work And the rodeo went on in
comparative peace and harmony.
That tells the story of Miller He
works eighteen hours every day, seven
days in the week. His cowboys have
fine saddles and costly equipments,
but he wears the cheapest to be found.
Yet his landed possessions are greater

Anthony Nicholas Brady is a new
known as the gas king, but he is also
entitled to the sobriquette the trolley
king, the electric king and the con-
tractor king. He was accidentally
born in France in 1S43, because his
parents refugee6 there from Ireland.
When he was a baby they came to
this country and settled in Troy.
When he was a small boy he got a
job as cashier in the barber shop of
the Delaven house in Albany, and
when he had saved enough he bought
tea store. He gave away chinaware,
and was one of the first TO attract Gus
tom in that way. Soon he had two
stores, and in a short time half q
dozen. When he had monopolized the
trade he turned contractor. He re
paved Albany with granite from end
to end, and laid all kinds Of pipes.
Then he bought surface roads. Within
the last few years these have been
turned into trolley roads, and he owns
everything of the kind in Troy and
Albany.
Then he came to New York. He,
with a few other millionaires, owns the
trolley system of Providence. R. l.,
! also all the roads of Brooklyn and
some of the cable roads of New York
/ He went into the gas lighting business
in Albany long ago, and made prac-
teal study of the business. This en-
abled him later on to put through his
( famous deal IN Chicago gas, to the dis
comfiture of the Standard Oil COM

This is an era of kings. Not of the

the thrones of Europe, but of the ster-

This country is supposed to have no

of commerce has developed some extra

A WE'LL KNOWN KING.

Little need be said of Theodore A.

herited some of his wealth, and the
Sugar Trust, which he formed, has
multiplied it several times. He is

He is not interesting but w S. STRAIT
ton, the gold king, is. Stratton owns
the famous Independence mine at Grip

millionaire. Work had nothing to do
with it. Stratton, up to six years ago,
was a carpenter in Jeffersonville Ind
Whenever he worked a few days he
would go on a jamboree until his last
cent was spent. He was a quiet man
who made no enemies but made no
friends to speak Of The man who
worked six days a week and tried to
save something he regarded as a fool
Stratton took a long walk once and
landed in Denver. That was about
four years ago, when Cripple Creek
first attracted attention. Then he took
another walk to Cripple Creek. Like
every one else he staked a claim, but
he was too lazy to work it. He could
have earned good pay as a carpenter,
but he never fancied work Some
times he would stroll over to his claim
and shovel up the dirt for an hour or
two.
He got in arrears at his boarding
house and was put out Miners in the
adjoining claim to his own took pity
on him and allowed him to live in
their shanty Sometimes he worked
for them. and they paid him enough
to hire man to dig his claim. He
