become the patient of a world-famed
surgeon, and, restored to health and
strength stand as one of the marvels
of twentieth century surgery.
But this little daughter is the light
of the Armour household. She is
legion in the affections of the father.
The brusqueness of business speech
softens in her presence. The man in
the business office becomes the IA
Their in the home. And the trans
formation is complete.
For a man whose love of home and
family is as marked as his, one may
see the tempering Judgment which is
characteristic of Ogden Armour
says friend who has seen him in the
home environment. mo one could
express surprise if this baby girl
were the spoiled pet of the house
hold
But Lolita Armour is anything but
this. She is the natural, cheerful
child of father who realizes that in
the unstudied naturalness of a single
daughter he may read the highest
hope of her. There is the marked af-
lection between the two, without os-
tentatious show of it. The man who
has no pose in his business rela-
lions has none in his home relations.
In the man is the evidence of the
deep, lasting satisfaction in the home
life, and it is enough"
The Ely miner. [volume] (Ely, Minn.) 1895-1986, 1907-06-21
Of Few Words in Business.

There are men high in the employ
of Armour & Co. who never have seen
this man of the home environment.
Thousands would not recognize him
in the position. To thousands OF
these he is man to stand in awe of
to fear, even.
Ogden Armour in business is the
man of the fewest words. In utter
ance he is of the steel trap speech.
His yes" or mo" is not to be an
ticipated. They spring out of his set
fixed inscrutability like the crack of a
rife. And, once spoken, they are ir-
revocable.
In j. Ogden Armour the man asso-
ciated with him in the business of Ar
mour & Co. finds in this head of the
concern the master of details. In the
famous hearing of the beef trust be-
fore the federal court in Chicago,
there is the Armour testimony that in
the matter of rebates of 100000 or

ly, like the explosion of a shotgun,
the head of Armour & Co. touches
upon business.
THAT overstocking in poultry just
before Thanksgiving, Mr.. Jones. 1t
wasn't good business move. Loss of
five cents a pound on 5000 pounds of
soft stock. 1t mustn't occur again"
The manager stammers little. He
has an excuse, perhaps, and the ex-
cuse is listened to respectfully. Talk
may drift away from the subject a
little. Then, as suddenly and un-
expectedly, the head of Armour & Co.
comes back to the topic from a new
angle. 1t is an explosive recurrence,
but in the inevitable low, even tones
of the dictator. 1t is disconcerting to
the degree that it is unexpected
and a disconnected employee is regard
ed as one of the inspirations of Og-
den Armour. Before he is done with
the department head he may have
come back three or four times to
the unpleasant subject. But when he
has gone the manager has the lesson
of his mistaken judgment firmly i'm
pressed upon his mind He will not
offend again.

MRS. SADIE ABBOTT

Women for the most part spend
their lives at home, and it is these
women who are willing and ambitious
that their homes shall be kept neat
and pretty, their children we'll dressed
and tidy, who do their own cooking,
sweeping, busting and often washing,
ironing and sewing for the entire
family, who call for our sympathy.
Truly the work of such woman
is never done" and is it any wonder
that she breaks down at the end of a
few years, the back begins to ache,
there is displacement, Inflammation
or liberation of the abdominal organs,
a female weakness is brought on, and
the struggle of that wife and mother
to continue her duties is pitiful.
Lydia e. Pinkham's Vegetable
Compound, made from native roots
and herbs, is the exact medicine a
woman needs whose strength is over
taxed. It keeps the feminine organs
in strong and healthy condition.
In preparing for childbirth and re-
operating therefrom it is most eff
cient. It carries a woman safely
through the change of life and in
making her strong and well assists
her to be a good wife and mother.
Mrs. Sadie Abbott, of Jeanette,
Pa, writes
Dear Mrs Pinkham-
II suffered severely with pain every
month and also pain in my left side. My
doctor prescribed for me but did me no
good; friend advised Lydia E. Pinkham's

advice and am a perfectly well woman. The

Downfall Of Cashier.
The cashier came at last, wearing
the patent feathers. the gloves, the
silk hat, tie, and few other of the
evidences OF a night in the company
of dressy friends. He bowed to the
head of the Armour business, who
had been filling in the time looking
through an Office ledger.
1t was a nice morning, according to
the Armour weather report, apropos
of the cashiers silence.
The cashier admitted that in his
chiefs meteorological observation the
chief has beaten the weather bureau
by ten degrees.
Mr.. Armour had been waiting for
some time, he said.
The cashier ha0n't doubt of it.
The ease, and composure, and pains
taking care with which the cashier
laid aside overcoat, hat, and gloves
were a little irritating at best. Just
when the cashier was removing his
gloves, careful of the wrinkles, the
head of Armour's brought a hand
dewn upon the open ledger.

ample of bookkeeping, if I know any.

Close Supervision Necessary.

SlCSc SUPERVISION necessary
That such lesson may be worth
while is suggested in the fact that
there are about $50 of these branch
houses throughout the country. Three
hundred and fifty manager are neces.
sary for their conduct, and 80 super.
intendents and as many travelling au.
ditors overlook the business of these
houses between the Armour head and
the myriad details of buying and sell
ing.
The possibility of 5000 loss in each
of $50 branches is an item, even in a
business which nets $5,OO0,OO0 or &c.
100000 in year.
1t is only the accurate knowledge
Of Armour which saves him in these
personal rounds of inspection. There
are managers and superintendents
and travelling auditors who are touchy
enough by instinct and by training
to resent idle inquisitions of the kind.
There is no resenting the keen, clear
cut analyses of the master of a great
business and of its almost infinitesi-
NAL details.
There is story eXtant in which
just one man did resent the Armour
finding.
He was the cashier of the Boston
branch of the business, and he drew
one of the big salaries on the Ar.
mour rolls. One day, Unexpectedly
as usual, Armour entered the Boston
Office a quarter of an hour ahead of
the cashier.
Most men will admit that it isn't
pleasant experience to go to ones
office expecting to find an employe
there and who for any reason has not
yet shown up. In the height of the
baseball season it requires an unusu,
ally good American to accept any
kind of excuse for the absence.
But when a man who never had any
time for society himself finds himself
in such position of cooling his heels

SYMPATHY FOR THE FISH.
Upton SincIalr's Amazing Parable on
Charity Of the Rich.


Upton Sinclair, in an address before
body of Chicago Socialists, said of
charity:
"The average charity, the charity Of
the rich, seems rather futile to me.
The rich Cypress the poor enormously,
then they help them slightly. 1t is
like the young lady angler.
"'Why,' said man to this young
lady, do you always carry bottle Of
Eminent with you on your fishing ex-
cursions"
She sighed
"I am sorry she said plaintively,
for the poor little fish. And so, when
take one off the hook, 1 always rub
Its cut mouth with some liniment.'

The Web of Life,

Life is the daily web of character
we unconsciously weave. Our thoughts,
imaginations, purpose, motives, love,
will, are the under threads; and the
passing moment is the suttle, swiftly,
ceaselessly, relentlessly, weaving
those threads into web; and that
web is life.-S. D. Gordon.

ent, and about the same number Is In
the territory of travelling auditor.
The poultry business of Armour &
Co. is not one of the money making
ventures Of the company. Armour,
in his touring of the country in which
his plants are located, always has an
eye to the records Of this poultry
business. Occasionally the manager
of a particular plant overstocks in
poultry. He may buy 10000 pounds
of fowls when the market proves to
justify only 5000 pounds. There is a
consequent loss of two to five cents a
pound on the stock.
Manager "Called Down."
The house may be 500 or 1000
miles out of Chicago. The manager,
counting upon the distance from the
home Office and the possibility of the
head of great concern scarcely
knowing of the poultry department of
that particular branch, receives the
personal call of the corporation s
head in sublime optimism.
Brusque but pleasant interchange
of conventional greetings lead up to
the business talk. The weather may
be touched upon. The health of the
manager may be inquired after. No
words are wasted, however. Sudden

Master of Details.
One may find stories among former
Armour employees, told not with a
view to contrast with this testimony
but with due recognition of the mans
capacity and mastery of the routine
of great business, which are in con-
fiict.
One of these men for years had
been travelling auditor of the bust

scattered over one of the great Sec

Chicago.-By virtue of his millions,
his diversified financial and CONNER
cial interests, his methods, and his
means to business ends, j. Ogden Ar
mour is one of the accredited great
captains of industry of Chicago.
But when you seek to discover of
his friends the social side of the man,
they are not certain even of its exist
ence.
Ask Mr.. Armour himself and he re-
CARDS the subject as not at all worthy
of discussion in business hours.
And j. Odgen Armour has more
business hours in the course of the
calendar year than has any other mil
lionaire in the western metropolis.
He eats his luncheon in his private
office in the general Offices in La
Sale street; sends out for it some
where and satifies his hunger with
the least possible loss of time When
the days work is done he starts home
in his automobile, just within the
speed limits of the ordinances, for a
