Alexander 7. Stewart.
By Ro8EwTV5 LOVE.
For joytyysarS the
merchant king.

n # STEWART was not mer-
~ chant prince. He was the mer-
n chant king For forty years
he reigned with undisputed
title He was the greatest and most
famous merchant Of his time in the en-
tire world He built up the 6rst really
great retail store and wholesale estab-
lishment In America. His retail house
was the largest in the world at the
time His name was powerful abroad,
and throughout the United States 1t
was a household word. spoken with
awe and wonder Old men Of today re-
call the name of A. T. Stewart as an
inspirat ton to business ambition in
their youth Men in early middle life
remember that the same name was
more familiar to them than that OF any
other business man when they were
small boys.
Mr. Stewart died thlrty-one years
ago, leaving no children His widew
died ten years later The magnificent
marble mansion in which he lived on
Fifth avenue, New York, has been
RACED and replaced by a commercial
structure. Eleven years ago his sue
cessors in the great store on Broad
way assigned, and the Stewart store
building is now Wanamaker estaD-
lishment Even the body of Stewart
was stolen from its vault in New York,
and there is still dispute as to wheth-
err it ever was recovered. The Stew
art name and business and fortune all
have disappeared, but his fame lives.
A. It. Stewart was a Scotch Irish
man. born in Ireland and educated at
Dublin university. he was a classical
scholar, devoted to books in his early
life and with no idea of entering trade.
When he came to America, at the age
of twenty, in 1928, he became teacher
in New York. Two years later he re-
turned to Ireland to claim a legacy Of
about $1,000, and upon the advice Of
friend in New York be bought in
Dublin a stock of laces and other
goods, which he brought back to Amer
lea with him. He opened small shop,
advertised his wares and sold the
goods at an enormous profit. This sue
cess revolutionized Stewart He de-
voted his life to trade.
At the outset Stewart made up his
mind as to his course in business. He
determined to be perfectly honest new
er to misrepresent his goods, always
to watch every nook and corner of his
business and to add more customers
by pleasing those he got. 1t was his
boast in old age that in all his career
he never permitted a willful misrepre-
sentation to be made in his store.

CHAMPION TURTLECATCHER

taining turtle almost as big as a bushel basket.
 Had an awful scrap with him." Settles said. Had to call for help to get him outen tn water. But, Lordy, he's wuth ft''
 The chief part of Settles trade lies in the more fashionable parts of town among the Thigh flyers" They are the ones who have learned to eat the fresh water turtle and who say 1t is really de- licious. And they, too. are the ones who are willing to pay the price Settles asks for his turtles.
 The turtles are dressed by being placed in scalding water. This loosens the skin and it can easily be removed in segments from the segments of the she'll The shell is cooked with the flesh of the turtle and the glue or gelatin in the shell gives the soup body. It makes fine dish. Bill Set ties says. and Bill ought to know.
 Only a week or two remains in which Bill can do his turtle fishing this year. Then the turtles will no longer sun them selves on the logs near the banks of the streams and the water will become too cold for Settles and his diving. But he is satisfied.
 I've caught about 400 turtles this sea- son and they've brung me a right smart bit O money. Guess I kin get through tn winter all right. Ennyway, th' or Blues just about fished out O turtles. Guess I'll have to move somewhere else when tn spring comes on.'
The Birmingham age-herald., 1908-11-22

In all the rivers and creeks of Ms souri turtles are abundant-in all except one, the Blue river near Kansas City. There the turtle Is rapidly becoming ex- tinct, and all because of "BilP' Settles, who says he is the champion bare handed' turtle catcher of the world.
 Just where Bill Settles first came from even ne himself doesn't seem to know. but about two years ago he came to the Blue river, built himself small, ram shaekle cabin and has lived there ever since, Nearning his living by selling turtles he catches out of the river by diving. Settles method of turtle hunting is easy for him. Clad in a rough shirt and trousers. with his shoes split from the mouth to the toe to let the water out, Bill roams the banks of the stream until he sees his victim on log near the bank The game in sight, Bill creeps up as close as possible. As soon as the turtle sees him and begins to slip into the water Bill dives after 1t. Tail, fiippers or head, 1t makes no difference to the turtle hunter; he founders around. in the water until he grabs some part of the turtle s anatomy and then the fight begins. The turtle wiggles, scratches and squirms. Bill puffs and treads water. The turtle Is patient. So is Bill. The turtle finally becomes exasperated-thats exactly the term Bill uses-and sticks his head out from under his shell to bite the intruder. And that's what the intruders been wait ing for. With his right hand upon which he wears huskins glove, Bill grabs the turtle by the neck and starts for the shore. It's all over then. The turtle can't pull his head back under his shell. and he can't bite. The nail-bound glove in- terferes with all those things and the rest of the turtles life consists in being. thrown into a gunny sack, hauled to the city in small push cart with a dozen more turtles, and then sold to res taurants and private families. The price of turtles range from 50 cents up and on good day Settles often makes as much as BIO, of which he saves about s950, so that he may have a sinking fund for winter.
 Bill Settles and his pushcart are fla miliar on the downtown streets of Kan sas City. Always has he a following of small ooys-and some men-and always he may be counted upon for street cor ner lectures on the genus turtle.
 Don't they ever bite your" some one asked, as Settles pushed his little cart through the streets the other day. The answer of Settles was merely a look of contempt
 ''Who, me?' he asked finally. Do I look like I'm makin' bait outen myself for them varmints? How kin they bite? Don't I grab 'em by tn neck?"
 Yes, but what's the turtle doing before you grab him?"
