HOW ID MAKE AND
 KEEP A FORTUNE
Millionaire Yerkes in His Own Life Story Tells How to
 AmaSS Wealth.
By Charles T. Yerkes, Muti-MilliOnaire

By Charles T. Yerkes, Muti-Millionaire
 Any man who has health, good business Judgement, energy and ambition should not speculate to make money.
 He should pick out some good business for which he is adapted and which he likes and stick to it.
 That is what I have done all of my life.
 I have made the bulk of my fortune by a combination of good luck and good judge ment. Some of it I did make by specula- tion, but just as certain as the sun rises and sets, if had continued to speculate 1 would be broke today.
 I have said the man who speeulates Is an idiot, and believe it. 1 have said that 1 have never seen a ticker player who made any money and kept it, and l mean by that the man who goes to the ticker when it starts and does not leave it until it stops for the day-I mean the man who speculates in securities that he knows nothing about and acts upon information he receives at second, third or ffteth hand, with no intention of ever actually holding the stocks he puts up his margins for.
 Now, a man like Russell Sage 1 do not class as a speculator. He buys stocks for the stocks themselves or to secure an interest in the corporation for business pur- poses. I do not think he ever speculates. His business is a. lender of money and an investor, and it Is that which has made him a power in Wall Street
 There are big men in that street who are speculators, pure and simple, but the &C., tual buying of sticks to hold and occasion ally selling them to an advantage as bus mess deal do not call speculation.
 I was a speculator when I was stock broker, and heavy one.
 l lost a fortune and made it again, with a m formed the Onin- ion which I have expressed that the man who speculates is an idiot.
 Then, too I stopped.
 I have not speculated since 1873. I lost my money in the panic which was caused by the Chicago fire in 1871 and l made it

SIX HIGH PRIEST-
 ESSES OF WEALTH
They Are Americans With Two Two Exceptions and Are
 Worth Half a Billion.

There are six rich women who deserve to be placed up near the top of the list of the worlds greatest millionaires. This is real ly significant fact. It was not so long ago that woman had no legal rights, and therefore couldn't hold property. Nowa- days woman may recjoice in having un- disputed control of all her wealth. This Is something she owes to the much abused legislators. Even pagan countries nowa- days coneede her right to possess things.
 Everyone knows who the worlds six rich est men are-Li Hung Chang, John D. Rockefeller, the young Duke of Westmin- ster, Won Qua, Cecil Rhodes and Albert Beit-but it is doubtful if more than ten persons can name the six women of the world who are the queens of wealth. Here they are and the total of their fortunes: Sonora Isdora Cousino.... ....... .$200, ,000, 900 Hetty Green.... ...... ........ 50,O0O, poo Miss Rothchilds.... ...... .......... 20,O00,0 900 Helen Gould..... ...... ...... ,..... 15,0 900 MISS Rockefeller. ............ lO,OO0,O00 Mrs. George LaW.... ...,.... lO,O00,0O0
 The fortune of Hetty Green is variously estimated. She has been credited by one authority with $65, 900. The above figure of $5O0O0,0O0 is probably approximately cor- rect.
 lSldora COuSlno or santiago, CDlll, neduS the list of enormously wealthy women. She has two hundred millions of dollars. She Is getting on," as folks say in this coun- try, in years, and although possibly near the half century, Is still remarkably beau- tiful, and appears more youthful than do many women who have spent their thirty years in those gaetes which tend to age them.
 Her ancestors were among those who conquered the simple folks and who occu- pied the great countries in our neighboring continent The lust for gold was on them all and 1t was sated. Her maiden name, and this should be carefully written down,

of the world
 Miss Rothchilds Is generous to fault, and the sums which she gives to charity are almost too fabulous to be credited.
 It has been said that the rich woman is troubled woman, but this Is hardly true of any of the above mentioned ladies' All have wealth untold, and all are happy in the happiness which their wealth brings to others less fortunate by their kind deeds and generous gifts.

Sugar Beet Notes.

The most marked difference between

while the foreign sugars must bereiined
before ft for uso Our skillful sugar
makers dispense with the rehner and
esc ape the grasp of the sugar trust j
our sugar was SD impure as to require
refining and thus pay tribute to the
sugar trust, perhaps there would be less
whispering about the poor quality of The
beet sugar as compared with cane.
The manufacture of beet SUGAR I'm

February report Of the Land Commits

put of the Michigan factories was 30

pounds Of beets or thii amount of
sugar manufactured, the three Bay City
sugar houses turned cut nearly half

This output represents only about one

The experience of rho past season proves
