favorite maxim of William II. "C1usta,

time he studied out means of squar-
ing himself with those who enforced

were reSumed-to large audiences
drawn by his esca pade-the first ques-
lions We're repeated while the police
grinnly waited for the climax. How
ever, with the mention of the present
Kaiser's name, the man only smiled
idiotically, scratched his head and
finally said that he thought he had
known the answer to the question
three months before; but somehow in
the meantime, he had misplaced it. The
audience, apparently well-versed in
what had been misplaced, appreciated
the discontinue of the police who were
powerless to make a case.
So repugnant to the average German
are the Emperor's liberal tendencies
that one might accept the account of
an American who tried to evade arrest
after a chance remark that the Kaiser
was a fool. His explanation TO the
policeman was that the Kaiser of Rus
STA had been referred to: but the Off
GER cried sternly: That won't go.

But far more serious than the Of

stories about the Kaiser are
the constant evasions and violations
Of the law in the press and periodicals
Of Germany, which are embittered

for a fling at him. Cartoons and re-
marks must be clever enough to evade ,

The ordinary dog thief with his sack for

MARSHALLFIELD, MERCHANT

English newspaper man, whh
II some years ago was writing an ar
1 \ ticle of American business life, ap-
preached the late Marshall Field ana
said. Il wish to designate you correctly
in this article l have used the term
'financier.'
THAT is wrong" was Mr.. Fields quick
comment. II am a merchant
In his article, "Fifty-five Years Mor-
chant" in December System, Mr.. II. l.
Cleveland gives many new sidelights on
the great merchants career.
NO other of Marshall Fields Interests
better demonstrates how he strengthened
himself by outside connections, how ne
sought investments for his surplus money
and how he demanded a proper handling
of that currency, than his relations with
the Pullman company.
Mr. Field became the directing spirit
of the Pullman company at a moment
when the New York Central, the North
western, the Chicago, Milwaukee and s.
Paul, the Burlington. the Michigan Cell
trail, the Hill systems and kindred rail-
way interests were either openly hostile
to Pullman contracts or secretly pre-
pairing to break away.
Zone of the first things in the company
he reorganized was its relations with its
labor Wages were advanced and tho
men given to understand that fair play
on their part would be met with fair play
on the companys part. Next came the
securing of new business. The standard
of the old company in construction work
had been rather cheap. Under the Field
regime, costly construction, the best cars
possible, were ordered.
Mr.. Field had powerful financial ard
personal relations with the Northwestern,
the Milwaukee, the Burlington and other
roads, He was known and trusted by
Messrs. Hill, Hughitt, Earring, Ripley,
Morton and the others of the coterle OF
big Chicago managers.
1.-THE revolt against Pullman cars anu
Pullman contracts ceased as If by magic.
THE company absorbed the Wagner iivdi
and passed into an unexampled era OF
prosperity. 1t was accomplished through
the business methods of Marshall Field.
Now at the end of the year 1906, about
eleven years after Mr.. Field became the
backbone of the Pullman company, ana
when his principles finally advance 10
open predominance, its surplus exceeds
500 100000 In 1903 this surplus was but
$40 1880 rising in 1904 to N4,2io,loO ana
in 1905 to s1S.0l7,375.
Nine years ago the company was able
to declare an extra cash dividend OF 20
per cent and stock dividend OF % per
cent in order to distribute surplus assets.
This was two years before the Wagner
company was taken over. The regular
dividend rate of the company is per
cent. The total valuation of the company
on the death of Mr. Pullman was Soi,WO,-
QIO and is now placed at Sl20.00,OVo
But the Pullman company was only
