well as the president Of the road In
question, the Kansas City, Mexico &
ton it is worthy of note that once be-
fore Mr.. Stillwell built railroad
which was lost to him by the reor-
ganization methods of high finance"
In the present and second venture
Mr.. Stillwell gave Wall street what
might be called absent treatment"
and the new railroad is one of the
very few In the country that have not
received financial nursing from that
well-known quarter.
Railroad builders have been CON-
mon enough, as have captains of in
dustry more or less identified with re-
ligion out Of business hours, but Mr..
Stillwell has attained unique prom
fnence In that he frankly places his
business success as the result of car
rying his Christian Science belief into
all his deeds.
During the 40 years since he was
born at Rochester, N. Y, there have
been many other interests than those
Of religion to mark Mr.. Stillwel as 9
man of original thought and action
1t was in Chicago that he laid the
beginnings to his fortune and became
interested in the faith Of which Mrs
Eddy is the head. AS a life insurance
agent there he made a record. Dur
ing this period he claims he was
cured of a spinal disease by Chris
tian Science healers, and in that way
became interested in their religion
Shortly afterwards Mr.. stillwell sug
gested to the president Of the life
insurance company for which he
worked that certain methods should
be changed. That was many years
before the era of insurance invesi
cations and naturally Agent Stillwell
the hustler with the moral sense
was discharged. Still he had saved
sac, 900 and with that and his faitl
he went to Kansas City to build hi
railroad.
This was his first venture and since
then he has admitted that he was ii

But Mr.. Stillwell was not discouI

railroad and not to ask any help fron

the Pacific coast of Old Mexico, a dis
lance of 1929 miles. President Dia
of Mexico was so impressed with tn
value Of the road that he granted 1t

are very fashionable. They are worn

they are especially effective with white

noon, with one of the black velvet
suits mentioned above. These gloves
almost always have gauntlets, though
not always stiff ones, and the smart
thing Is to have them size too large

presidency is now rather by way Of
courtesy, as she does little more than
sign important papers, while her hus-
band carries the burden OF all de-
tails.
Always mentally alert, when her
son was old enough to attend Berke-
ley. Mrs. Patterson saw that It would
never allow her children to become
smarter than herself. she establish
ed a pretty home in the university
city across the bay from San Fran
cisco, and while the boy wrestled with
the problems Of his freshman year,
mis- clever mother proceed to enrich
her mentality with what wisdom
there may be in the study OF sociolo-
gy. the drama, and postgraduate lit

Mrs. Patterson's old home was at
Abilene, Kan, and in the days Of
her fortune she has not forgotten
the friends Of her youth. She is a
traveller now and II there are middle
state Kansans Of her acquaintance
in city she visits she never fails
to look them up for e chat about old
times. Furthermore, she long ago
sent for her brother and the husband
OF her girlhood's best friend to give
them good positions in her bank.
After all. this was only good business
policy. for they are men Of high ef-
ficiency and have served the best
possible interests Of the bank.

found herself in this position had
business sagacity and ample courage,
80 that she instantly faced a situa-
tior which the average woman would
unhesitatingly have Abandoned to
her bank directors. Instead Of weep
ingly comforting her proxy upon a
handsomely-paid attorney, she called
a meeting Of the directorate and
cheerfully voted the majority stock
for herself as president. She elected
herself Overwhelmingly. In fact, her
election was unanimous.
From the beginning she had one
tremendous asset, and Of this she
took complete advantage. That as
set was the banks cashier, William
J. Patterson had been with the in
stitution fifteen years. He knew
where every dollar Of its interests
lay. and he knew the full value Of
many possible investments not yet
made. He found to his delight that
the new president was sound In
Judgment, but favorable to policy OF
expansion. The new president found
to her delight that the cashier was
a man with ideas who could make
two dollars grow where one grew
before. OF course they married and
lived happily ever afterward, but
before that had a really golden court
ship. as their sweetheart days were
occupied with plans for large invest
lnents in every big enterprise in that
stirring part Of the state.
