FIELDS SUCCESS IN BUSINESS

That merchant prince, the late
Marshall Field, was possibly the
possessor Of the largest fortune
made in legitimate and regular
business enterprise of any man
who has ever lived. If Mr.. Field
ever specialized, no one ever heard
Of it. He began life without dol
lar, and ended it worth between
800, 900, 900 and $500, 900, 600.
Mr.. Fields wealth came largely,
after he got his first start, from in
vestments and the natural enhance
ment in value Of his business in a
rapidly growing country and real
estate in the city, which was the
most rapidly growing of any in the
world. But he resisted all temp
tation, and the same temptation
was held out to him as it was to
other men, to get rich quick. He
was patient, content to make his
wealth by buying goods and sell
ing them at a profit, and investing
his profits in real estate. 1t is idle
to say that what Marshall Field
did others can do. 1t is probable
that never again will there be the
chance in this country for a man
to make the fortune that he did in
J business enterprise. Heliyed in al
exceptional era just after the war,
when great development and re
adjustment of conditions were go
ing forward. His life should be a
model for the business men of this
country. 1t shows one thing above
everything else, that one does not
have to resort to sharp turns. to
deceit, to hypocrisy, to fraud to
Injuring his neighbor, although
that neighbor may be trying to
injure him. 1t shows that Ameri-
can life holds unbounded oppor-
tunities for the man who attends
strictly to business.

ace Is Denied.

Pekin Feb. 26.-The guards around
the forbidden city have been doubled
and all the palaces and residences OF
high officials are especially guarded
The police, who have hitherto carried
batons, are now armed with rifles. All
the officials that are accessible either
refuse any information or profess ig-
norance OF the reasons for the precau-
tons that have been taken, and as a
result many rumors are afoat.
Possibly the only cause is the alarm
of the dowRger empress over the pre-
valence of revolutionary rumors.
The Chinese minister at Toxic a few
days ago telegraphed the government
warning it against several revolution
airy students who were departing from
Japan for China. Two packages of
dynamite have been found in the
street, outside of the gate leading to
the palace. Apparently they were
dropped by some one afraid to carry
them. A report finding credence is
that a quarrel IS afoot within the pal
ace between the partizans of the en-
press dowager and the emperor over
the selection of an heir to the throne
but it is not confirmed.
Only Precautionary"
All information obtainable indicates
that the military measures at the nal
ace were only precautionary, and were
taken because of the widely circulated
rumors that there would be trouble
here Saturday. The finding of the
packages of dynamite outside the pal
ace gates, which is somewhat mysteri-
GUS, probably caused uneasiness. as
the court had been nervous since the
outrage in the Pekin railway station
on September "a of last year, when a
missile was exploded inside a private
car on the track carrying one of the
four missions ordered abroad to study
foreign political methods, killing four
persons and wounding 20 others.
The reports of trouble WITHIN the
palace can not be corroborated. but
they probably are founded on gossip.

Mr.. Browning was formerly an ar

seems Col. Browning Is not now so
friendly toward the political leader
and II Is intimated by the friends of
the prominent Tazewell county eft
izen that he has expressed himself
as opposed to the nomination of Con
gresham Slemp. probably on the
ground that he is In favor OF rota-

administration OF the Slemps has
been unsatisfactory to him.
