GAGE A SELF-MADE MAN.
From One Hundred Dollars Year to Secretary OF
The Treasury


Lyman ]. Gage was a Chicagoan
when he entered the cabinet Of Presi-
dent Mckinley as secretary Of the
treasury. He began life as a poor boy.
He is known far and wide as self
made man. In this respect he Is like
Governor Shaw OF Iowa, who will sue

Mr.. Gage was born June 2S 1885, In

A. and Mary (Judson) Gage, We're ma
tives Of that state, but the ancestors
of each were from New England, where
both families were early settlers, hav-
ing come from England, Lyman Gage
entered the academy at Rome, N. "
when he was ten years OF age, but ar
ter only four years Of schooling he was
Obliged to leave that he might begin
the battle of life by earning his own
support. He was given a place in the
Rome postohlce, In which his wages
we're s. month, and he discharged his
duty so well that year later, when
only 10 years OF age, he was advanced
TO the more responsible position or
mail agent on the Rome q WatertoWn
railroad, His first employment In the
line which he afterward made his main
occupation and success was In the
Oneida Central bank In 1854. He serv-
ed there as a clerk at the salary or
500 a year, which he sought TO have
increased after the expiration Of eight
cen months. The management refused
his request Disappointed, he resolved
10 seek a location where he could at
least have a reasonable hope for more
liberal treatment. It was then that
ne went 10 Chicago, In 1850 when but
10 years Of age. The banks ana other
Institutions had no vacancies that he
could mi, but he found a chance 10

ing formed part Of his duty TINS
was not what he had sought, but he
went at II and for three years followed
II lndustrlously,
Poor as his place was. there was
worse TO come, for In the financial
depression in 1858, when thousands OF
men lost their places, the house he was
employed by was seriously embarrass-
ed and suspended operations, Although
they had no use for young Gage In his
former capacity, they had to employ
Waterman to guard their property,
and he accepted that position rather
than endure idleness However, these
