His Advice.

A young genius named Mccarthy
went to Commodore Vanderbilt and
gave him q suggestion which led the
commodore to organize all the little
railroads between New York and Chi
cago into one. Before Mccarthy went
to Vanderbilt he went to q friend for
advice. Here is what his friend told
him about the commodore:
Don't let him scare ye. He's as
full Of power as turbine. Has a
good deal o. whir in him. Likes re-
sistance; so does every great force
He's fought a thousand difficulties.
He'll take you for another an pitch
into ye, like as not. Don't let him
scare ye. If he jumps on ye, jump on
him. He'll enjoy it an begin to re.
spect ye. It's like putin a belt on
the turbine-you'll take or bit OF his
power and ease him down."-Denver
