other lines now building or recently
acquired, will, it is expected, soon give
the Goulds and Rockefellers new
tranScOntinental system extending
from the Atlantic seaboard to within
a few hundred miles of San Francisco.
To maintain the position in the finan-
cial world which he occupies as the
head of the Gould house means labori-
Gus toll for the young multimillionaire.
His life is no mere career of society
functions, and he has plenty to do be-
sides choosing where to make cruises
on his magnificent yacht or planning to
add more beautiful things to Georgian
Court, his palatiaI country home at
Lakewood, y. j. Last summer Mr.
Gould was so busy that he did not
have time for 4 vacation such as even
a ten dollar n week clerk expects to
get some time during the season of hot
weather and summer languOr. Mr..
Gould's occupation as manager of mil
lions may look easy, but to the man
whose daily dOings involve transac-
lions reaching up into the hundred
thousands there comes Il brain fatigue
when the office desk is closed that the
laborer in the field cannot understand
because he has never experienced it.
The great growth in the Gould fortune
since the death of Jay Gould has been
due to the work of George Gould and
to his intimate knowledge of his IA
theirs affairs. Indeed he practically
managed his fathers business for
about five years before the latter's
death, which occurred in 1892. Still,
George Gould is Il comparatively young
man, having been born in 1864. He is
doubtless the most powerful of the
young multimillionaires. He does not
attempt to dazzle Wall street, but his
ability and conservatism command re-
spect from the financial world.

A short time before the outbreak of
the war in the far east DR.. De Forest
was in England making some expert
ments in which Captain James, the
famous newspaper correspondent, be
came interested. The upshot was that
two of the outfits were ordered and
sent to Yokohama. Hurrying TO the
east, Captain James chartered the Hal
mum as a press boat. and this was at
once equipped for the wireless service.
A station was then established at Wei
haiwei, China. at which point Captain
James established his headquarters.
The station was located on a peninsu-
In. and a bamboo mast $50 feet in
height was erected. At first it was
intended to place another station in

feet. Messages are sent all the way

The highest type of Japanese sol
diery is represented by the Imperial

OF noble families and is regarded as

THe officer in direct command of the

him very popular among his country

Tolerance is one of the finest virtues
that ever graced a human being and
one of the rareSt to grace a woman.
1t is the mother of patience and OF
charity. twin virtues without which
the noblest woman is bankrupt alike
of happiness and Of usefulness. Yet
so fierce q flame of rectitude springs
in unexpectedly so fierce flame for
those we love, whom we cannot bear
to see going astray, whom we would
violently yank into the right way if
they yield not TO gentler methods
that we find ourselves fairly tortured
when we are called upon to make
friends. even to the extent of enduT-
ance, with the MammOn of upright
eousnesS. Yet bear with evil. with cru
dities and obIiquities we must bear
with them, not glaze them over. To be
tolerant in the highest sense is not to
be blind. but merely to bear one an
others burdens of sin and ignorance
and mistake. The wedding bells toll
the knell of our girlish revOlts. Then
we could lay down the law. Now we
must patiently put ourselves in its
way and wait, perhaps only to he

ana distinguished representative of

this woman, indeed, that the idea of
such an organization originated. 1t
was some seventeen years ago that il
first dawned on Mrs. Sewau how use
full in bringing women of kindred aims
together such an association might be.
Her keen eye swept the field in vain i'll
an effort to discover an international
association designed to focalize the eff

who are labOring for the uplifting of
their sex. As a result of Mrs. SewalPs
