HAS BRIGHT FUTURE
George B. Cortelyou, Private Secre-
tary to the President.
His Success Should BE an Inspiration
to Ambitious Young Americans
May Become a Cabinet
Member.

The intimation has come from Wash
ington that George b. Cortelyou may
become member of the presidents
cabinet. Those who know the man
best believe that he is worthy of such
an honor, and capable of filling such
a position. In the United States to-
day there are few more interesting
men than George B. Cortelyou, the
secretary to the president. Intellec-
tual, energetic, dignified, and court
eous, this man seemed endowed by ma
ture and fitted by training to perform
the duties and meet the emergencies
of his particular work.
The position of secretary to the pres
ident of the United States is an arduous
one. In the rendering of it's multi
tudinous services, it calls for the bust
ness qualifications of methodical and
systematic clerk, in the performance
of the daily routine of official work,
and the finesse of practical diplomat
in meeting and satisfactorily adjust
ing situations between the president
and an assorted public, each individual
of which believes himself entitled to
portion of the time and interest of
the chief executive.
Mr.. -Cortelyou worked his way to his
present high position through sheer
ability and determination. He is still
a young man, 40 years of age, and his
success may be regarded as an indica-
ton of 4 still more progressive and
brilliant career in the future. He be-
gan as stenographer, and, as court
reporter, was considered one of the
most rapid and accurate in the coun-
try. In 1891 he became private secre-
tary to the fourth assistant post
master general. Toward the close of
the Cleveland administration he was
transferred to the white house. He

Nevertheless the book teens with
accounts of military ad other strate-
gies by which De Wet outwitted his

Frequently he recounts cases of
desertion and panic among his own
men when his entreaties and "sjam-
boxing" were all of no avail. De
Wet pays a tribute to Gen. Cronje
for his bravery, but declares he lost
at Paardeberg only on account of his
fatal obstinacy in failing to leave the
lager as he was advised to do by
Gen. Botha and by the writer him.

Wet writes:
1T was far easier to fight against
the great English army than against
treachery among my own people, and
an iron will was required to fight
against both. Once, if only our or
ders had been carried out a little
more strictly, and if only the most
elementary rules of strategy had
been observed in our efforts to break
the British lines of communica ton,
Lord Roberts and his thousand of
troops would have found themselves
shut up In Pretoria, where they would
have persisted of hunger. 1t was not

frankly contemptuous. "The block

the blockhead." The so-called war

In his book, entitled ''Three Years

the most remarkable book by the

simply told tale of the extraordinary

the stamp of truth. The badness OF
the narrative only serves to bring
into strong relief the fiery passages
in which a strong man literally
blurts out his soul in pathetic regret
or bitter denunciation.

was for several months stenographer
to the president, and was then APP
pointed executive clerk, which posi-
ton he held until the beginning of Mr..
McKinley's second term, when he was
made private secretary.
While in Washington Mr.. Cortelyou
improved his spare time in the study
of the law, and, in 1895, was graduated
from the Georgetown University Law
school. The following year he took
postgraduate course in the Columbian
university.
Mr.. Cortelyou was born in New York
city July 26, 1862. He was educated
in public and private schools, and is
graduate of the Hampstead e.. - in
stitute, and of the state normal school
at Westfield, Mass. He holds the de-
gree of Ii. b. from Georgetown uni
versity, and the degree of LII. M. from
Columbia university. He was for
while a law reporter in New York, and
then was principal of preparatory
schools in the same city from 1885 to
1889. In the latter part of 1889 he be-
gan his career as private secretary,
having served in this capacity with the
post Office inspector at New York, the
surveyor of the port of New York, and
the fourth assistant postmaster gen
eral! In November, 1895, he was ap-
pointed stenographer to the presi-
dent; in February, 1896, executive
clerk; in July, 1898, assistant secretary,
and in April, 1900, upon the resigna-
ton of John Addison Porter, on ac-
count of ill-health, Mr.. Cortelyou was
made full secretary.
This is modest and thoroughly
American career. Having had not
more than an average preparation for
his life's work, Mr.. CorteIyou has in
variably done the small things that he
found to do so well that he has been
called to do greater things.
During the fourand half years that
Cortelyou served the late President
Mckinley, first as assistant private
secretary and later as private secre-
tary, he developed remarkable trait
of memory.
AS assistant secretary it was part of
Mr.. CoIfelyou's duty when the presi-
dent was travelling to see the reporters
from the various newspapers and to
furnish them the particulars of the
chief executives plans and movements.
Hundreds of reporters throughout the
country thus became personally ac-
uuainted avith Mr.. Cortelyou, who not
only remembered their faces in con-
nection with the newspapers which
they represented, but in the great ma
jority of eases remembered the per-
sonal names of the interviewers them

by serving as page in the Michigan
legislature; there he discovered how
easy it is to be statesman and he de-
termined to be one himself. In course
of time he gave up shoe blackening,

butchering, and the like occupations
and studied law. Then he went into
the business of owning railroad COM
