in the directorate, position which he
holds to-day
And that is how Mr.. Burrage made
his millions. He was born in Ash
burnham, Mass, but went with his
parents to California at the age of
three years, returning when eighteen
years old to enter Harvard. He gradu-
ated four years later and commenced
the study of law, being admitted to
the Worcester county bar.
In 1885 he married Alice H. Haskell
of Roxbury, near Boston, a very pret-
ty girl, of humble parentage, like Mr.
Burrage himself, and she made a
pleasant home for him on his meager
salary and shared his poverty with
fortitude.
To-day they live in the most lordly
mansion in all New England, a superb
palace on Commonwealth avenue,
which was built at vast cost and fur
nished with the best that Europe and
America could afford.
He has a beautiful Italian villa at
Cohasset and palatial home in Red
lands. Cal, surrounded by thousands
of acres. Here he spends his winters
with his family, travelling in his pala-
tial private train, with numerous SER
wants and the costliest of appoint
ments.
Mrs. Burrage is pretty woman,
tall and slender, who is as yet bewild-
cred with the vast wealth that has
come to her. She has no social ambi-
tions. Her husband loads her with
jewels and fine clothes, and she drives
about in very splendid carriages. He
is as much her lover as ever. They
have four children, who, once forced
to know poverty, now revel in the
glory of riches. They have the most
superb playrooms and toys and are
keen in their enjoyment of the fairy
like things that come to them.

Two WAYS to Teach Parrots.

There are two ways" said bird
dealer, "of teaching a parrot to talk.
One way is to put him in a darkened
room, to sit in a corner and to re-
peat over and over again the word
you want him to acquire. A clever
parrot will learn a word or a phrase
after some four hundred or five hun
dred repetitions; while for some it
takes a week or more. You must
keep still in the room. No sounds
from within or without the house,
save your voice monotonously repeat
ing the phrase to be acquired, must
reach the parrots ear. Some people
teach their birds in a well-lighted
room, speaking from a place of con-
cealment in a closet or behind a door.
This method is not SO good, because,
in the light the parrots attention is
distracted"

Rose in Eight Years from
Poverty to Immense Wealth

From the poor debtors oath to a
fortune of $20,000,000 in less than
eight years is a good deal of a jump,
but Mr.. Albert C. Burrage has cleared
the leap successfully and to-day is
one of the richest men in Boston and
head of the copper business in that
city.
Mr.. Burrage is now forty-one years
of age. Eight years ago he was strug-
Cling along on very meagre income
gained by his efforts as a lawyer. But
he is one of two things-either a man
Of destiny or the possessor of great
brain power He prefers to be called
the latter. Had any one prophesied
that he would become within seven
years a multi-millionaiTe, he would
have had nothing but the deepest pity
for the prophet, yet the financial ro-
nance of this young lawyer reads
more brilliantly than an Arabian
Nights tale.
To learn how very poor Mr.. Bur
rage really was ten years ago, one has
only to turn to the records of the poor
debtors court for the years of 1891
and 1892, which shows three cases
where he had defaulted in judgments
obtained against him.
Mr.. Burrage owes his good fortune
in the very beginning to his indus
trious reading of the newspapers. 1t
was ten years ago that he saw an ac-
count of the legal fight in Brookline,
Mass, between Henry H. Rogers and
Edward Addicks, who had conflicting
dicks, in addition, had a large gas in
terest in Boston. Being interested in
this fight as an outsider, Mr.. Burrage
looked up the charter of the old

LAWYER WAS PERsPIcUoUs.
Eloquent and Amusing Declaration Of
a Country Attorney in Ohio.

When Congressman Tompkins of
Ohio was practicing law in his young
er days in the buckeye state and was
winning his spurs he occasionally
found it profitable to accept a case in
Justices court in the country. He
tells the following story of the argu-
ment made by a rural barrister before
such a magistrate.
The case was one in which the
plaintiff sought to recover damages
from a railroad company for the kill
ing of a COW. During the course of
his argument the country lawyer
used this expressive sentence
IF the train had been run as 1T
Snould have been ran. or if the bell
had been rung as it should have been
rang, or If the whistle had been blown
as it should have been blew, both of
which they did neither, the COW would
not have been injured when she was
killed"
Mr.. Tompkins does not state
whether the man recovered damages
for his bovine.

Brookline gas company merely out OF
curiosity, and learned, to his surprise,
that the company had, by legislative
enactment, the right to extend its
pipes into Boston at will.
Mr.. Burrage saw his opportunity.
Hoping for much, but never dream
ing of all that was to come of that
little notice, he made himself known
to Mr. Rogers and revealed his discoy-
cry, together with the statement that
an option for the purchase of the
Brool1line gas company could be OBJ
tanned
Mr.. Rogers was delighted. 1t gave
him a weapon against Mr.. Addicks,
and the Brookline gas company pass
ed into the hands of the Standard Oil
company
To make matters clear it must be
explained that Mr.. Addicks had for
years been enjoying a virtual mon
opolyof all the gas business in Boston.
The people were protesting against
the high prices charged.
The contract for lighting the streets
of Boston was about to expire and the
mayor invited Mr.. Addicks to meet
him and consider proposition for a
reduction of rates. Mr.. Addicks did
not see the mayor.
This little incident and the reor-
ganization of the Brookline Gas COM
pany were almost coincident. Mayor
Mathews realized that the greatest
foe to monopoly was competition, and
when the Brookline Gas company
came forward and offered to light the
city for far less than the Addicks
company it's offer was gladly accepted.
Mr.. Addicks was thus pushed to the
wall and gladly came to terms in the
end. AS counsel for the Brookline
Gas company and the Standard Oil
company, Mr.. Burrage was given the

the largest ever known in legal his
tory anywhere in the world.
This was the beginning of his Alad-
din-like wealth. The Standard Oil
people appreciated the worth of so
brainy a man to such an extent that
they not only invited him to embark
with them in some of their copper
deals, but when the Amalgamated
Copper company was formed, he was
appointed to represent New England
