time you are in New York. said Mr..
Wanamaker. 'It is worth visiting to
see the building, if nothing else. A. T.
Stewart was a genius. L have been
surprised again ana again as I have
gone through that building, walking in
that dead mans shoes, to find what a
knowledge he had of the needs of a
mercantile establishment. Mr.. Stewart
put up building which is today, l be-
lieve, far better arranged than any Of
the modern structures which are being
erected. He seemed to know just what

him, and have reason to think that he
took liking to me. One day, 1 reme1n-
Der, 1 was in his woolen department
buying some stuff for my store here
when he came up to me and asked me
If I would be in the store for fifteen
minutes longer. I replied that 1 would.
He then went away. AT the end of
fifteen minutes he returned and handed
me a slip of paper saying:
" Young man, 1 understand you have

But A. T. Stewart was not noted for
his charities, was he, MI. Wanamak-
er?'
"He did a great deal of good in Sc
cret," was the reply. "He was always
doing something for others. He gave
$4,000 to the people who lost by the
Chicago fire, and when he died, you
know, he was building a million-dollar

which were never carried out. After

WAS he great merchant?"
Yes; l think he was the greatest this
country has ever had. Look over his life
and you will think the same He was the
son OF an Irish farmer. He first came to
the United States as teacher. When be
was twenty-one years old he bought S3,O0O
worth of Belfast laces and linens and opened
a store for the sale of these in New York.
He slept at this time in the rear of his shop.
He turned his capital over and increased his
business until he had what was said to be
the largest retail store in the world. The
building alone cost Mr.. Stewart nearly So
UO0GO and its current expenses at the time
OF his death were about $1,000.000 a year.
In his two stores he was at that time doing
mad, in addition to these, branch houses in
different parts of the world and he was the
owner , of number of mills and factories.

How about your connection with the post
once department.? Have you ever regretted
your oftctal career there?"
Il can't say that 1 have" replied Mr..
Wanamaker. 81 don't like to crticise the
postoffice and postal matters, now that I

When at last we were abed I found it
impossible to sleep, and Belin was at
first equally wakeful. For this I was
thankful, as I began to grow despon-
dent, and felt that after all I had lost
the game utterly But the viscomte's
courage never faltered, and in spite of
myself 1 began to be cheered by his
hopefulness. He explained to me fully
how it came that he was at the Rue
des DeuX Mondes. He wished to dis
cuss with Palm some means for dis
covering me. and as the Huguenot,
fearing to return to the Rue Varenne

willing to leave Paris, had sought Pan

to pass the night here to consult with

fetal effects which are coming from it have
been added to by the misfortunes of other
nations In having poor crops while we have
good ones, As yet, however, there are still
many people unemployed. Many of those who
have secured work through the better times
are saving their money to pay their debts,
SO we do not yet feel the good times as
We shall later on"
Then you think our prosperity will con-
tinue?"
Il believe we will have a spell of good
times. We cannot expect that the crops will
always be poor in South America India and
Europe, and this element of our present pros
perity may be lacking next year. Still the
tariff will start the mills to going and our
biggest demand after all is the demand at
home"
'Has. the tariff already raised the prices
of goods?''
Certainly it has was the reply. 1--WE re-
ceived today, for instance, an invoice Of
steamer rugs. They actually cost us $7.57
apiece. These same rugs we have been sell
Ing here in the store under the old tariff rate
for $3.50. No on would ask us to sell rugs for
that price which really cost us cents more,
so, you see, the price must go up. 1t Is the
same with other things. The tariff must nee
essarily make general rise of prices.''
DO the people realize that prices are in
creasing?"
Eyes. indeed, they do" replied the mer-
chant. There has been no time within re-
cent years when the people have realized Just
how many cents there are in a dollar so well
s.s they do now. They have learned through
the hard times to figure closely, and they are
much more economical than they were before
the hard times came"
''Is not that good thing all around, Mr..
Wanamaker?"
'I don't know about that" was the reply.
''In order for us to have good times the peo-
pie must not only make money, but they must
spend it freely. The two things are recipro-
cal. 1t is the market that keeps the factories
and the stores going and pays the wages''

ton. This makes the transportation
problem a very serious one 1t Is esti-
mated that a reindeer cannot be loaded

OF the committee seemed favorable to

other hand quite general opposition TO
a complete territorial organiza ton. Most
OF the members express themselves as
