does not mean to offend anyone. But
when he really wishes tic let some per-
son know that his presence is undesir-
able he does it with a directness and
force that leave no doubt of his inten-
lions.
ssThis characteristic has made Mr..
Morgan the chief figure of many
stories told in the financial district.
Many of them do the great financier
injustice. He simply protects himself
against men who have no legitimate
reason for intruding upon his time.
occasionally some man with good
reasons for seeing Mr.. Morgan is I'M
Intentionally visited with the treat
ment accorded the others. and he Is
pretty certain to spread an account OF
the great financier's behavior which
places Mr.. Morgan in an unfavorable
light.
"He has been accused of lack OF
consideration for the feelings of
others. In individual cases this may
be true. but in broad sense it is I'M
true. The best proof of this is his
stupendous gifts to practical charities,
all made without ostentation.
"He takes up a philanthropic matter
with the same vim and energy and on
the same comprehensive scale that
characterize his operations in the f.
nancial world. He disposes of thous-
sands where other rich men give hun
dreds.
"He reaches his Office every morn
ing at 9: so, just as the ticker chirrups
Good morning. and he remains down.
town until p. m. He works like a
steam engine every minute of the bus
mess day.
"The firm of j. P. Morgan & Co. has
many partners and high-salaried en-
ployes, but not one of them is in The
full confidence of Mr.. Morgan. They,
of course, know in a general way Of
his schemes, but the details of his
plans he keeps to himself This does
away with the danger of leaks
eff a big stock Spectator knew
what Mr.. Morgan had in mind in these
days of stupendous details and reor-
ganization he could make millions in
a week.
Charles H. Coster. his late partner,
assumed many of the responsibilities
which since his death have fallen up
on the shoulders of Mr.. Morgan. The
business training of Mr.. Coster, was
received at the hands of Mr.. Morgan,
and he was about the only man that
the latter fully trusted.
''In his social life uptown Mr.. Nor
gan is quite a different man from the
Morgan OF Wall street He is de-
lightful host and an interesting talker.
The brusqueness which characterizes
his manner downtown is never seen
in his home. on his yacht or in his
club, the Union"

cold is experienced throughout the
country, Fahrenheit temperature
dropping as low as 30 and 40 degrees
below zero; but the fall of snow is
very light, and the progress of quartz
operating is no more impeded by win
ter conditions than in the mountain
districts of Colorado and Utah.
Naturally, all the machinery must be
well housed and the mill heated in
winter, but this is SINAI. matter in a
country with inexhaustible supply of
wood, and where the cutting costs
next to nothing. 1t caused amazement
to the American that in inner Siberia,
where they had imagined life unen
durable in the winter months. this
very time should be considered by the
inhabitants the finest of the year.
According to descriptions, the climate
must correspond with that of portions
of Canada and the Rock mountains.
''The labor in this district also soc-
casioned surprise. Here were men
whose total cost to the operator, in
Guiding food and transportation to and
from the mine, was less than SIS per
month, yet who were both intelligent
and capable; hardy enough to work
out the year round in this climate, to
sleep, If necessary, on the hard
ground, without tents, and to live on
dried black bread and soup meat"

After Fifty Years.

We have met, as it seems, by chance
After fifty years have fed;
When | had fancied the early love
OF my fond old heart was dead.
And, oh. if you had not pressed
Your lips to my own today,
might have thought that my child
hoods dream
Had passed with the years away.
You gave me in those bright days
Such love as a brother shares
With timid sister who turns to him
With her burden of girlish cares,
While l, in my heart of hearts,
III that holy and secreL place,
Found only room for your shadowy
form
For your grave and earnest face.
But now, when that early dream
| thought was forgotten quite;
With burrows stamped on your cheek
and brow
And by hair so snowy white,
You could not. know, have meant
To wake, in life's afterglow,
The tender flame of the yearning love
That was mine so long ago.
II only you could have known
That hearts are of different mold;
If only you could have won
A woman less proud and cold:
If only she could have felt
What l had been forced to hide.
The long, long days of the weary
years
To you have been glorified!
For never thought of blame
In my loyal heart had birth:
ever prayed that yours might be
The happiest home on earth.
And might have better borne
My loveless and dreary lot
Had but known your path was
Zen though / was forgot.
But it matters so little now,
am waiting the boatman's oar:
1t will surely be but little while
Till pass to the farther shore.
And yet, since that first-last kiss
ut is weakness. perhaps a SIM.
My heart has forced from my pals
dry lips
The murmur: 1T might have been
r. s. P.
