the day. He worked hard and faithfully, acquiring all the knowledge possible in learning the formulas and processes in the making of the various kinds of var nishes then used. One day he thought he had invented a new process by which far superior goods could be produced. With radiant face and sparkling eyes, he show ed and explained his formulas to the foreman and tried to induce him to adopt his new process, but the foreman being of jealous and envious disposition, dis charged him on the spot, telling him that he wasted too much time tinkering and experimenting.
 Young Bccker's enthusiastic ardor was not crushed. He soon secured another position with a competitive factory ana after time explained his new method to the superintendent who immediately tried it and finding it successful-fred Dick, taking all the credit for the new method to himself.
 The Birth of Wisdom-Becker again found another place, but having become wiser, decided to keep his mouth shut. He continued to tinker and experiment until he was known as Dick the Tinker and was soon discharged again. In his early career as rolling stone. however, Becker picked up knowledge of varnsh until he was finally saturated with ideas and formulas. Fortified with experience more valuable with each succeeding ad- versity and forced upon his own re- sources Dick Becker, without position or capital of his own. succeeded in induc- ing a friend to advance him a s10 bill. With this capital to buy the ingredients necessary, an old wash-boiler, and in a backyard, Dick Becker made up his first batch of varnish, which he managed to sell at profit. From that day on, Dick

yelt's ideas of today are the ideas that he held two years ago. Every day or so some eminent financier runs over to Washington to see the President and comes back imbued with the idea that Mr. Roosevelt Is not neadly as bad as he is painted The President has a habit of re- assuring his visitors by referring to the conservative things he has said in his messages and speeches. For example, what American statesman could have said anything saner than this: "The large majority of the fortunes which now eX- ist in this country have been amassed not by injuring our people, but as an inci- dent to the conferring of great benefits upon the community; and this no matter what may have been the conscious pur- pose of those amassing them. There is but the scantiest justification for most of the outcry against the men of wealth as such, and it ought to be unnecessary to state that any apepal which directly or indirectly leads to suspicion and hatred among ourselves, which tends to limit op- portunlty. and therefore to shut the door of success against poor men of talent. and finally. which entails the possibility of lawlesness and violence, is an attack upon the Fundamental properties of Amer ican citizenship
 But MT. Roosevelt said that and in a speech that he has always been particu- larly proud of. He made it at the Minne- sota state fair six years ago. We had a hysterla of bullishness last year. and this has been followed by an equally foolish hysteria of bearshness The people who were talking $400 for Great Northern. s25O for Union Pacific. $50 for Southern Pacific and S2Oo for Reading are now talking S100 for Great Northern. S100 for Union Pacific $50 for Southern Pacific and $100 for Read ing. In bull market prices go beyond

"NAT, M'kAY, KING OF LOBBYISTS
Magnificent Entertainments for Pur-
 pose of Influencing Legislation.

Gilson Gardner in Success Magazine"
 The lobbyist Is generally pictured as a man who buys expensive food for legis- lators, and take his profits in illicit legis- lation. And that is what the typical lobbyist Is. The late Nathaniel Mckay was such. He appealed to members of the House and Senate through their gastronomic systems, and grew rich on "claims." To Nat" as he was always called, the origin of a claim was not im- portant. It might in the beginning have been a just claim, or 1t might not; the essential thing about it was the fact that it was several generations old, and the legitimate benefciaries dead. Such claim is good for fifty percent for the lobbyist who gets it through. Where the other fifty goes may be left to the imagination.
 But Nat" furnished bed as well as board. As the crowning feature of his long and successful career as an inhuencer of legislation he built a small hotel. the Dewey in which suites were furnished for number of his more favored con- gressmen.s On these suites he spent his money and his tastes with the result that the furniture was handpainted and em- belished with photographic portraits of his guests. From the back of a chair, for example. the intelligent countenance of the venerable Charles H. Grosyenor looks out, n subtle tribute to the Ohio soons wisdom in matters legislative An other suite was thus consecrated to the right honorable George W. Steel of Ma ron, Ind. (now politically defuncD; an- other to the honorable Julius Caecar Bur rows. senator for Michigan; and other members high in the peoples trust, and the affections of the winning Nat were similarly honored, Nat himself Is gone; but the contest over his estate survives. as do the portraits on the fur niture, and some of those portrayed.
 And the memory survives of Mats" dinners. One in particular will go down in history as the banquet of the table cloth. At this repast, where all things were in proportion, the damask on which the wine and food were spread, cost as Nat informed his guests, S2500. At the plate of each guest-all chosen from the Congressional Directory'-was embroid- cred the coat-of-arms of the guests na- tive state. At the end of the feast a pair of shears was passed, and the guest scissored his section of the cloth as a souvenir of the occasion.

The Conference.

The conference of the railway pres
 idents with MT. Roosevelt recalls the
 secret meeting of railway presidents two
 years ago in December on the day of
 the publication of MT. Roosevelt's mes
 sage to Congress. The message appeared
 in Wall street at noon. MT. Roosevelt
 strongly urged the necessity of govern
 ment regulation of freight rates. The
 market began to weaken an hour or two
 later and closed very soft. That night
 a dozen railway presidents met at the
 Metropolitan club and talked things
 over. They decided that the situation
 was very serious when the President of
 the United States came out fiat footed as an advocate of the fixing of the rate mal- ing power with the government. The news of the meeting leaked out the next day and stocks began to come into the market. The liquidation developed into a panic, which has since been known as the Lawson panic because the Boston novelist was at that time making a big bear cam pagn in Amalgamated copper, and was crying Panic" in the newspapers of America and Europe. But Lawson did not iaake that panic. He was only the fly on the wheel After stocks had broken vio- lently $10 to $15 a share Wall street was reassured by statements from Washing | ton similar to those that have appeared 1 in the last few days, that the President was not going to run amuch.
 IL The situation today is really no worse | than it was two years ago. so far as the adspiniSlraiion is cpncerned. A1r. koose-

Becker's success began and today the goods produced by him are considered the wonder of the age.
 Sold under foreign brand for years, lne Becker varnishes have been shipped to England, France, Germany and Japan, and, in fact, to all parts of the world, and it is a well known fact that thousands and thousands of gallons that have been shipped to foreign countries from the Becker factories have been re-shipped to the United States and sold at enormous prices under foreign brands. Time and time again the largest and best varnislI makers of England and many others have offered Dick Becker fabulous prices for his formulas and methods, but has always held fast and firm and refused to sell at any price.
 Parted with one formula only, the Ma tional Varnish company, realizing that the whole country is now demanding the very highest grade colored varnish that can possibly be made and knowing and appreciating the fact that Richard A. Becker had achieved the highest stand- ard of perfection in this particular line and owned the only formula by which the same could be produced, succeeded after long negotiations in inducing the R. A. Becker company to cooperate with the National company In consequence, Rich ard A. Becker is now vice president and general manager of the National Varnish company. and is devoting his personal att tention to the manufacture of the highest grade colored varnish known. and which the company Is marketing under the name of ROYAL VELVET FINISH, and are spending a half million dollars this year alone in advertising and introducing the merits of ROYAL VELVET FINISH to the public.
