did not care to place himself before the

entire frankness which he had assumed
while writing this article, and that con-

death for publication. 1t was secured
through his son for The Cosmopolitan

the subject without gloves as Grant

to do the subject justice.

That the British empire looks after
its children the world over is well
illustrated by the fact that the crown
agents for the colonies are inviting
tenders for the supply of four sail
ing ships, or three steamers, to carry
Indian emigrants from Calcutta to
Fiji. 1t is the annual trip Of coolies
to the Fiji colony, there to work in
the plantations The paternal Indian
government takes complete charge of
the affair. The coolies are recruited
up country, brought to Calcutta and
placed in charge of the officer Of emf
grants for a fortnight or so, in or
der that weaklings and those develop
ing disease may be weeded out. Then
they are shipped to FIJI or Demerara

government fixing the rate Of wages,

4 BRIEF BIOGRAPHY
K. B. Armour was born in Stock
bridge, Madison county. New York,
April 10, 1854 He was not educated in
any of the big eastern colleges. Dur
ing that period of his life when young
men generally attend college Mr. Ar
nlour was walking about in top boots
in the slush and blood and CRIME of
the packing house learning the bust
ness.
What schooling he had outside of the
district school was at the Oneida sem
mary. He left school when he was 1S
years of age, however, and came to
Kansas City. That was in 1872 The
Armour Packing company had been
established two years at that time,
and the young man stepped in to ht
himself for the management of the
business which fell upon his shoulders
IN later lie. DuL Wllle he Was Sl-A
young man.
It is a rule in the Armour family that
the boys all learn the details of the bus
mess from the ground up. And every
Armour who holds official position
in the Armour Packing company has
been through the mill and is capable of
going, unassisted, into land where
there was never a packing house and
establishing a plant.
K B. Armour was married on April
27, 1881, to Miss Anna p. Hearne OF
Wheeling, w. Va. His first official posi-
ton in the Armour Packing company
was that of vice president and general
manager. Upon the death of S B. Ar
mour in 1898 he succeeded to the presi-
dency, but still remained general man
ager-
Mr.. Armour had a taste for fancy
stock and on the farm south of the
Country club owned jointly by himself
and Charles Armour he had a herd of
fine Herefords.
He was prominent member of the
National Hereford Breeders associa-
ton and was twice elected president Of
it, although the laws of the organization.
are against such succession in office.
AS a financier he had few equals in
the west and was. beside president and
general manager of the Armour Pack
ing company, a director of the Kansas
City Stock Yards company, the New
England National bank and the inter-
state National bank
