George Gould is probably the poorest
example of a seIf-made man, for he is not
a self-made man at all in the usual
ceptance of the term. He was born of
millionaire father, who, when he died. left
him what amounted to 600. Jay
Gould gave George 100000 more than he
gave his other children as an equivalent
for the service which George Gould rend-
cred his father during the last five years
of his life.
Yet If you will glance along memorys
pages, you will see that 1t Is not always
the rich son who remains rich man. 1t
is always easy to get rid Of money.
Chauncey NJ. Depew says, ANY man can
make money but 1t Is not every man who
can save it,"
George Gould has husbanded the fam
lily interest in such a way that the Gould
money is probably double today that which
1t was when the head of the family died.
Cornelius Vanderbilt lost $50, 600, 600 of
the fortune. of the family during his life
time William H. Vanderbilt left 100000
900 approximately, when he died. Cor
nelius Vanderbilt did not leave over $780,
100000. George Gould, by his daily transac-
tions in Wall street, continues to increase
the family millions, so that at the age of
forty he is probably one of the most re-
markable men of today. And he Is consid-
eralbly less than forty.
William c. Whitney has always trod the
primrose path of success, but he planted
the primroses himself and watered them
daily. AS young lawyer it was his am
bition to become corporation counsel, and
for while ne worked so hard that his
wife insisted that her father must help
him or he would work himself to death.
But young Whitney shut his teeth togeth-
er in that characteristic way of his, took
down his law books from their shelves,
lighted the midnight lamp and worked till
morning. He was getting ready for 1.-The
opinion which he knew he could one day
give. Today any corporation would pay
William C. Whitney $1,000 for a legal opin-
ion. And indeed he has refused many Of
fers.
To Wall street go all rich men and these
men are represented by the brokers who

ton, and when the word comes back to
"sell' they rush back and fall over one an
other in their haste to obey the mandates
of the men with the money who sit in the
high office buildings with their fortunes

stock owner in many corporations, includ-

Chinese politicians prefer to be governors
