ed meteoric, and a glance at his
brief biography warrants the be-
stowal of this term. He was
born, to use the stereotyped
phrase, of poor, but honest
parents at Williamsburg, Blair
county, Pa, on the 18th Of Feb.
ruary, 1862. When he was 10
years old, his parents removed
to Loretto, Pa, where he attended
school until about Is, at which
age we find him driving a mail
wagon between Loretto and
and CressoD, the beautiful sum-
mer resort near the summit of
the Allegheny mountains on the
Pennsylvania railroad. A year
later he vas clerk IN a grocery
store at Braddock, ten miles
from Pittsburg, where he not
only worked hard all day for his
$40 per month and board, but
slept in the store as night watch
man. 1t happened that there
were large steel works at Brad.
dock, and all his spare hours
were spent in the foundries
watching the operations going
on there, which had a great fas-
cination for him. In 1880, at the
age of Is, he obtained his first
position in direct line of ad-
vancement-As a stake driver In
the engineer corps of the Car
negie steel works at $50 per
month. He showed special
aptitude for the work, and his
rise, though not rapid, was salts
factory, for seven years later he
became chief engineer. In this
capacity he superintended the
building of the great Homestead
steel plant, with the details OF
which he showed such famil
iarity that he was made its man
ager for two years after its com
pletion; then he performed the
same service for the Edgar Thorn
son Steel works, and in 1892 was
manager of both. 1t was under
his personal supervision that the
first armor plate was turned out
by the Carnegie company for the
Unitei States navy, and the plant
became the largest of its kind in
the country. At the age of 81
Mr.. Schwab was president of the
largest steel combination in the
world, and at SO he finds himself
still marching at the head of the
procession, the recognized com
mander of nearly 100000 men

to the rules laid down by this
eminently successful one as to
the course to be followed toward
gaining the ultimate end in

that led on to fortune and fame,
but only in this instance, he
declares, was he aided by mere
rcumstance. Mr. Carnegie,
he says, toook only a general ,
and not q special, interest in
him, which he tried to foster,
of course, by doing his level
best. But-and here comes in
the application of the general
rule which was specialized in
his case by his own Efforts
"but man who is not suscept
ible to encouragement will-not
succeed ! A man must be wide
awake and up to date if he
wants TO forge to the front. His
future mostly depends upon
himself ~
A man of few words, some Of
Mr. Schwab's sayings partake of
the nature of phorisms that
have been delivered again and
again during centuries past, yet
are as true today as they were in
the business Of yesterday.
"FIrst be master of what you
undertake, and the money will
follow" always be sure of
your facts. You lessen the es-
TEEN of your superiors if you are
not"
Perhaps the mainspring Of Mr.
Schwab's success may be fouuQ
in this statement; "I.aiways re-
lied upon myself. | am a great
believer in self reliant manli-
ness, which is manhood in its
noblest form!
when l first went to work for
Mr. Carnegie | had over me an
impetuous, hustling man, and l
had to be at the top notch to give
satisfaction. | worked faster
than | otherwise would have
done. My object IN life then
was to show him my worth. l
thought and dreamed of nothing
but the steel works. In conse-
quence l became his assista nt."
AS a corollary to this line of
operations, Mr. Schwab believes
in early marriages as conducive
to steadiness of purpose and
affording the highest incentive
for noble effort, He started out
by marrying at q, founding q
home Of his own where he could
spend his spare time in study
and experimental chemistry.
He had a small laboratory and
studied along the trend of his
work, though he made no direct
application Of this acquired
kMo Wedge. He states another
evident truth when he says {:
"While my laboratory work
was not in the line Of my duty,
it gave me greater knowledge.
An employee should do some
thing besides his mere duty
something that attracts the at
tention of his employer to him.
| made up ny mind that there
should be nothing. in the manu-
facture of steel that | would
not know
incidentally, it may De said that
Mr. Schwab does NOT believe a
college education is necessary for
a business man. This might not
seem to accord with what has
been already quoted, but he ex.
PLANES it by stating that much Of
what q college bred man learns
he has to unlearn; that he is not
often practical, 1T cou'r.r. But

amount that had been lost was be-
tween $4,000 and 100000.

Fort Worth, Tex, Nov. 16.-Three

ing before the opening OF the con-
yention Of the national Womcn's
Christian Temperance union, namely,
the Loyal Temperance legion, the
Purity conference and prayer meet
ing. AT the Purity conference a pa
per was read by DR.. Alice Campbell,
Of New York, on Social Purity"
In hsr annual address to the con-
vsntion Lillian M. N. Stevens, presi-
dent Of the association, said:
"Ours 10 q land and ours Is . ma
ton where there should be no such
experiences a. have come to US thrice
within four decades. One Of the chief
sources Of anarchy in our country 10
without doubt the un-American liquor
business, for the saloons are the
schools Of lawlessness. Because we
are patriots, II for no other reason,
we should work for the overthrow OF
the saloon and the saloon power md
for the determination Of the liquor
traffic.
Among the temperance victories
of the past year we gratefully record
the action Of the senate in ratifying
the treaty for the protection OF the
African races and we are reliably told
that for 20 months neither Beers moi
English in South Africa have allowed
liquors to officers or men. The good
effect Of Englands policy in discour
aging the use Of liquor in the army
is being felt and we also believe that
the soldier boys do not feel defradd
ed. In view Of all this and much
more, 1t Is not at all strange that TN
congress Of the United States de
cided that the army saloon in thu
country must be abolished. We mus
make our strongest protest in strong
est form against state regulated vic'
in the possessions of the United
States. There is a rapidly-increasinl
sentiment against the use OF TIT
cigarette. Forty-two states and tn
District of Columbia now have law
forbidding the sale of cigarettes o
tobacco to minors"

mort showed that literature to tn
amount Of 100000 pages had bee
