But knowing or not knowing the
Boston branch had a new cashier
within a week or two. Which was no
surprise to the cashier, either.
Direct In Questioning.
No one in the employ of Armour &
Co. ever has accused the head Of the
present business of being unapproach-
able. Approaching him, no employe
knowing him has expected warm,
smiling greeting. None ever expects
to escape the battery of keen ques-
tionings, one question hot after the
other, straight to the point, and
stripped Of superfiuous wording.
Not that all such talk of the head
OF the Armours is inQuisitorial. 1t
would be hard to count the number of
managers. superintendent and travel
ing auditors who in years past have
come to the general office in Chicago.
to meet the chief In smiling mood,
who have been complimented In words
regarding their work, and Who at the
end of the interview have been pre-
sented with an order for gold watch
and suit Of clothes. These are con-
venient, convertible orders, too. II the
man doesn't need a watch, the order
will be cashed at the cashiers win

order at the same figure.
Enemies are Many.
j. Ogden Armour Is A years old.
He has made manifestation ones
In his time; men who have fought
him at "the game" and nursed defeat
in vengeance. They have fought him
fairly and unfairly.
They have called him the head and
shoulders Of the beef trust" he

A1ultn,iQionais Works Harder and Hes More Hours Of
Business Than Any Of His More Than 10000 En-
pioyes-Has No Time for "Society''-EAs Home and
"7he Game Take Up His Whole Life.

Chicago-By virtue Of his millions,
his diversified financial and CONNER
cial interests, his methods, and his
means to business ends, ]. 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.
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
1ionaire 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
seven o'clock dinner.
Responsible for a days work as the
head of Armour & Co., with its pay
roll OF 10000 men. looking to his own
private interests In half a dozen lines
of investment, meeting In one way or
another the multitudinous calls that
come from great world to the desk
of the millionaire.
Home and 1.-THE Came"
Homeland "the game of business,
measured by tens of thousands Of
miles and tens of millions of money
would you ask more of flesh and
blood? THE game" Is at once the
mans diversion and his toll; home Is
the atmosphere and the physical en-
bodiment of his recuperative necessi-
ties. For him there can be no social
world, writes Hollis w. Field. in the
Chicago Tribune.
Home? Why, J. Ogden Armour is
spending million dollars on sum-
mer home to the west of Lake Forest.
its basement walls measuring $50 by
500 feet! There are 800 acres In the
estate. costing 5000 to $500 an acre.
and for months construction gang
that would affect the pay rolls Of a
great railroad has been at work dig
ging. ditching and leveiing for the
landscape gardener.
Lakes will be formed where only

become the patient Of 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 ONCE becomes the IA
Their In the home. And the trans
formation is complete.
For 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 II 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 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-
tions has none in his home relations.
In the man is the evidence of the
deep, lasting satisfaction in the home
life, and 1t Is enough"
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 ne is man to stand in awe Of
Ito 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 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
Ave cents 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 IL 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 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 az 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.
Close Supervision Necessary.
That such a 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 IS 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
business which nets 100000 or &c.
100000 in . year.
It Is only the accurate knowledge
of Armour which saves him in these
personal rounds Of inspection. There
are managers and superintendent
and travelling auditors who are touchy
enough by instinct and by training
to resent idle acquisitions Of the kind.
There IL no resenting the keen, clear
cut analyses of the master OF q great
business and of its almost infinitesi-
NAL details.
There Is a 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
a. usual. Armour entered the Boston
once q quarter of an hour ahead Of
the cashier.

IT is always interesting to see our

what a man has TO say about women

and write essays about Wren they
nave 10 do something I'm what I may
call their official capacities, they may be
ever so logical. but In private life they
are just as illogical as other women.
Just imagine what life would be II
the fair sex were to be strictly con-
sisteEtI There would be cold reasoning
for everything said and done. every
thing would be exactly according 20 the
book. and lifes tenor would be so even
that a man would want to 90 back to
the simple life and live among uncivi-
lized beings for a change. II is all
right for men 10 be consistent, which,
Of course. they always are; but if the
ladies are to follow the example, their
society viii lose much OF its attractive
ness.
a man may sometimes complain that
hts wife is not consistent. but If he
