week. He never married, and only wore
q collar ana necktie on special occasions.
Neither had he voted In forty years, nor
ever had his life insured,
So far as is known the story of Hadley's
life is one Of humble beginnings, concern
tration on the one aim of making money
and the suppression OF every motive or
impulse that would lessen the accumula-
ton.
Born In a hut in East Somerville, Had

II for twelve cents a day. 1t is said that
none of the cents ever got away. Next
he worked for the Boston and Lowell
