MYsTlFlED BY JOHN w. GATES.

John w. Gates is just now the most
talked about man in America, not bar
ring J. Pierpont Morgan. Wall street
and the Chicago board of trade are
talking of little else. Opinions differ
as to whether he is financier of great
foresight or merely an adventurer, a
plunger, who delights in getting into
long chances, big risks and then wrig-
Cling out of them and receiving the ap-
plause of those who cheer winner no
matter what his methods of scoring a
victory.
Mr.. Gates had no sooner ended the
corn corner than he took a turn one
after another at Colorado Fuel and
Iron, Chesapeake & Ohio Norfolk &
Western, New York Central, Pennsyl-
vania, st. Paul, Rock Island, Louisville
& Nashville, Texas Pacific, Missouri
Pacific and Wabash. He jumps from
one stock to another with such speed
as to fairly make ones head swim.
Whatever else may be said of him it
may be truthfully sail that he does
phenomenal things in a phenomenal
way.
The gossip as to Mr.. Gates caliber,
sincerity and wealth goes furiously on
while Mr.. Gates plans new coups.
Those who have fe't his squeeze insist
that he is only nervy and lucky. On
the other hand, his admirers say he
is a deep thinker, can discern where
strength and opportunity lie and sell
dom strikes unless he is pretty thor
oughly convinced that the thing he
strikes is going to turn out winner.
His friends, too, point to the fact that
he is man of iron courage when adj
versity is upon him. They instance
the Northern Pacific deal of May 8,
1901, where he and his intimate asso-
ciates were in imminent danger Of be-
ing utterly crushed. Fighting bravely
to the last ditch they emerged from the
conflict "artistically SCARED but still
in the ring"
Just now the farmer with corn to
sell is inclined to regard Gates as too
impulsive, the crowd looks upon him
as a financial Napoleon, and Wall
street, kept awake by his bruising and
boosting, is sure he is a dangerous
man. In the meantime, the talk about
Gates goes merrily on in the office, in
the home, at the club and over the bev-
erages at the bar. Gates place in COM
mercial life is, however, yet to be set
tied, and only Gates himself can set
tie it.

The president says that he was one
of the lucky ones in being chosen to
serve in Cuba. Mr.. Roosevelt is I'M
doubtedly lucky, as his political career
plainly shows; but when he says it was
luck which sent him to the front in
Cuba he is drawing extensively on his
imagination.

favorite, the grand vizier, for permission
to leave at once for Smyrna, although
a brilliant court-fete was then in progress
