He set up a fine carriage, adorned with painting representing an oil well, which he gave r. his coachman when he left town in consequence of taking a fancy to the members of $ certain minstrel troupe. He bought an interest in the show and squandered money upon the members for suppers costing $500 to sl GOO each.

of them on the ground in his confusion.
As he stopped to gather them up the
fateful letter rolled out from between
the pages of one of the books, and
there was nothing for him to do but to
pick it up and hand it to her. A
shamed, side-long glance at her face

hills, filling gulches, setting and lamp
ing ties and laying rails. The work
demands that she be skillful man
ager Of men. She knows man as few
women do-she directs their energies,
gets out of them the most work pos
sible, pays their wages, employs or dis
charges them. Men, mules, steam
shovels and dynamite are her 0bedient
agents. Necessarily she Is financfer,
talks and figures In the hundred thou
sands and the millions as readily as
most men talk of dollars. In the par
lance Of the street she long ago made
her stake and today Is accounted the
richest woman in Michigan and one OF
the very rich women Of the world.
She has made estimates and carried
out contracts on some Of the longest
and heaviest pieces Of railroad con-
struction in the country. Though her
occupation Is strenuous 1t would do
Mrs. Beacham rank injustice to say
that it has roughened her. There is
a certain set of determination and firm
ness about her features, but her man
ner is feminine, and SO are her tastes.
She is such good judge Of men that
she rarely has any trouble with them
and it is not often that an employer
is so genuinely popular with employees
as Mrs. Beacham.
Mrs. Beacham has been making and
executing railroad contracts for TWEEN
ty years. She has two sons Claud and
Erwin and her husband, though living
is an invalid. t@
Much of this remarkable woman's
work has been done in the southern
states where railroad building has gone
forward with Titantic strides in the
last two decades and where a vast
amount Of building is now under way.
On one contract with the Tennessee
Central railroad, Mrs. Beacham's profit
was $4,000, and it is calculated that
her average annual earnings are about
$4,000. The contract which she is
now engaged In executing is the con.
struction Of five miles Of railroad from
Kirby Station, Virginia, westward. It
Is part Of q contract for one hundred
miles Of the coal mine to sea rail
road which was secured by Sands and
Oliver of Richmond. These contrac.
tors sublet q short stretch of the work
to Mrs. Beacham.
At present she is employing only
:about one hundred and fifty men but
the proper control of this force and
the purchase Of the necessary supplies
calls for the exercise of no little ex-
ecutive ability.
