was going away from the White House

sixty-eight years, ever since was eleven
years old. and don't find that 1t hurts
me In the least. I am president OF twen-
ty-f1ve companies and business concerns.

a good blow to defend myself from at
tack. When I was in the lumber busi-
ness, roaming around where a pretty
husky lot Of fellows were doing business.
it became necessary to know how to take
care Of myself"
Senator Stephenson Is credited with be-
ing worth several millions. and when ne
was asked at what period Of his life he
accumulated money most rapidly, ne
shook his head. saying: What l have
made has been accumulated SLOWLY, oy
dint OF hard work. and don't recall that

myself than at any other time. That Is
about the age when a man or boy knows
II all and can't be told anything"
Despite a busy life In commercial pur-
suits. Senator Stephenson has found time
to engage in politics. He was a repre-
sentative in Congress from the ninth
Wisconsin district for. six years twenty
