hardship and risk, with tne certainty
of wearisome labor and discourage
ment, with danger to all who are fee
BILE and fa~lnt-hearted. It is because Of

Heroic deeds are to be done in this

to come forward and do them. The
trumpet call is the most Inspiring OF

to spurn ease an dself- Indulgence and

Ella RaWls Reader, who has earned
the right to be considered one of the
smartest business women in the whole
world. A dozen years ago Mrs. Reader
was addressing envelopes I'm a New
York newspaper office, and four years
later she was head of the largest re-
porting agency in the city
Then it was that this remarkable
woman, who is still in the early 90s
and who is described as very pretty,
with a fascinating smile, charming
manners and a sweet and gentle
voice" determined to show what a
woman could do in the realm Of
finance. And how far she has sue
ceeded is proved by the fOllOwins
among many similar sensational coups
which have made such financial giants
as Mr.. PierpOnt Morgan gasp with
wonder.
She has organized a e20OO.OO0 rail-
way in opposition to Mr.. Morgan him
self: induced the house of lords to
adopt the Sprague system on the en-
trail London tube" wrested from
powerful rivals a concession for a rail-
way through the dominions of the sui
tan of JohOre; settled a South Amer
lean revolution at her breakfast Ia
BILE; entered into competition with
Wall street to control the copper in
teTests of Peru, and fought President
Roosevelt for concessions in SantO Do
mingo, involving over $4,000, 900.
Mrs. Hetty Green has, of course,
long been recognized as one of the
shrswdest of American financiers. with
a knack of piling up the millions such
as few men have exhibited. Starting
with a capital of about half a million
she is today worth, at a modest esti-
mate, twenty times that sum. For
many years past she has added al
least e500.000 yearly to her capital.
And yet so thrifty is this lady of
many millions that she is said to live
On less than g. d week, spending in
year less than she earns every four
hours.

can lady who has been the architect of

Git Bits)
In these days of suffragettes and
emancipated females generally one is
not surprised to find women boldly en-
tering the arena of finance and match
ing their wits successfully against the
most astute of their male rivals. But
for a woman without any training in
the arts of speculation to put its clev-
crest and most resolute bears" to
flight and to make s120,000 in a few
days is a feat for which one is scarce
ly prepared.
And yet this was the achievement. a
few weeks ago, of Nine. Rochelle of
Paris, who, ieS5rder to save her hus-
band from a bear" raid on the stocks
which he held, fought them single
handed, and came out of the unequal
contest a winner of 5000, 10000 francs!
However novel and startling such a
feat may be in France, in America it
would scarcely excite any attention,
for across the Atlantic women have
proved for some years past that the
men are no longer to have a monopoly
of million making.
One of the most daring and success
full OF these lady financiers is Mrs.
Hermann Oelrichs, who is held in con-
siderable awe by her masculine rivals
in Wall street. A few years ago Mrs
Oelrichs decided TO take the manage
ment of her business affairs out of her
husbands hands into her own. Natur-
ally, all her friends We're aghast 1T
sue haudacitE. and predicted that she
would soon made ducks and brakes
of her fortune. But Mrs. Oelrichs only
smiled-the smile of the confident, ca
pable woman. She knew better. Real
izing her estate. she commenced opera
tions in Wall street with d capital of
500 600. and by clever speculation in
railroad shares she had increased her
fortune fivefold in year. making
money al the phenomenal rate. even
for America, of e2,000000 per annum.
But even Mrs. Oelrichs has for

an estate two and half times as large
as Wales, which she manages herself
with cOnsImmate skill. Her estate is
bounded by forty miles of coast, ana
is girdled inland by 800 miles of barbed

cattle; employs 800 cowboys, for whose

when she wishes to leave her domain,

An equally capable woman is Mrs.

Stockton & TuOlumne railroad, who at
