Soldiers of Fortune.

Market plunSefS ana big operators
all have their courtiers and pension
ers. The shrewd financial soldier of
! fortune, who plays the game to win
a big stake for himself, seeks the
favor of powerful, successful specu-
lator, just as the soldiers of fortune
!of the swashbuckler days courted the
favor of conquering war leaders,
Fortunes were won in the Middle
Ages by wars of conquest; now they
are won in the stock market.
Courtiers of big Wall street opera
tors have made fortunes. Keene,
when he was conducting specializing
campaigns, was lavish with bounty.
Many man today by no means o5-
scure owes a good part of his for
tune to Keene. The veteran opera
tor of the street cares for few
friends and dislikes notoriety, and
he has never paid courtiers TO ''press
agent him. 1t is the more remark
able, therefore, that his largess has
been spread SO widely. Men who
know say that Keene has more pen
Isioners than most people imagine.
Rogers had for years a big court
following him-but the master mind
Iof Standard Oil always got val
ne received. The biggest soldier Of
fortune ever in Wall street, Lawson,
made his big stake" by counting
Rogers Lawson fairly licked
Rogers shoes back in the copper
days, and he made millions. The
strange thing about it, after Rogers
threw Lawson overheard, was that
Lawson claimed that it was he who
had made the millions for Rogers.
The followers of Rogers were i9-
IGton-some he made rich, Others he
made poor; and they were in many
walks of life-from tattling clerks 10
members of the government. But
the dark days of 1907, when no man
anew who would be crushed on TIC
morrow, Rogers found that all the
bounty he had distributed to his
his courtiers availed him little. Hard.
