But wise men do as they are bid

the factors for fomenting face strife.
The well-meaning TOOL whose mis-

of the North where as little is known

that there would be no race question

part of the friction between the

James j. Hill. ranked as the most
powerful railroad magnate in the
world, was born on farm In yelling
ton county Ontario, seventy years ago.
At fifteen he was working in the
fields TO support his widowed mother
and as he entered manhood he was
glad TO get job at 81 a day as
dock laborer in st. Paul MINI. To-
day he can look out of the windows OF
his 100000 mansion and watch the
hustling OF the men on the wharves

and the first large sum of money that
he made was when he purchased
raft of. hoop poles, lowed it down the
Ohio and sold it at profit of $50.
William A. Clark, Senator and cop
per king, sent number of his early
years at farm labor. For two years he
was a school teacher in Missouri and
then he pushed onto the West. After
a spell of quartz mining in Montana,
he finally struck it rich and now his
fortune is said 10 be at least S5O,OO0,-

Andrew Carnegie was born in Dun

a poor weaver. The first instalment Of
the many millions which he is now

Allegheny City as a bobbin boy. The
sum was $1.25.
IL is also interesting TO note that
Edward Hartman, the railroad Nepo-
leon now in the public eye in connec-

the son of New Jersey clergyman. 1t
is said that his early training was

Postmaster.

From letter carrier 10 postmaster of New
York in tilirty-four years is the record Of Ed
ward NJ Morgan. appointed by the President on
Wednesday to succeed William p. WILCOX who
resigned the position to become chairman of the

he says himself he caught young, and
hasn't since been able to escape Practically his
entire life has been devoted 20 the service Of the
great postal machine which has its headquarters
I'm the federal building in City Hall Park. By
the small army of employees he is regarded with
honest affection because of his qualities of heart
as much as he is respected for his ability and
fairness.
Two of the most striking characteristics OF
the newly appointed postmaster are his extraor-
dinarily retentive memory and his never failing
fund of humor II is said of him that he never
forgets a face. Though a strict disciplinarlan'

for their effectiveness largely upon the epigram-

One of his assistants a short time ago had
made a stupid error. He was sent for ana
asked for an explanation. After founderlng
about in a vain attempt to Justify himself. the
offender broke out with:
Yes. ii was stupid. l admit it. The only
