Hartje Described.
AS man Hartje has been rather a
negative character. That is as a man
among men. In business he stands
well. His promises and contracts are
fully lived up to. He pays his debts
and treats his fellow men fairly. He
Is close In his business dealings, but
on the whole is regarded as business
man OF considerable ability. Socially
he has cut little figure. He is fond
OF fine horses. but he has never been
known to take his family into his en-.
joyment. He is. according to the
statements Of his wife. the kind Of n
man who will spend $500 or $1,000
for fine horse and wonder at his
wife's extravaganza In spending $40
or $la. On anything that Augustus
Hartje wanted he. would spend any
sum. He is that way in business.
He Is that way with his employees.
He hires them for the least he can get
them to work for. and works them to
the limit. sT
Mrs. Hartje is a granddaughter Of
old John Scott. In his day one OF the
most famous railroad men this coun.
try ever produced. Andrew Carnegie
Is said to have gotten away with the
big end Of the Scott fortune. but the
facts are that John Scott was spend
thrift and n man who led life which
was calculated TO use up two or three
fortunes. There was always tragedy
In the family. 1t went down like the
