You believe some men are too

the main reason these men become
so wealthy is because they take

The CHANCE TAKER.

The world is composed of chance

NO STATE FAIR CONCESSIONS.

Chicago, July 13.-No concessions
will be made to the managers of state
fairs this year by the Western Pas
senger association. At a meeting of
the association here it was announced
that the rule adopted some time ago
of granting nothing less than 2 cents
per mile III the way of fares will be
enforced this year. No applications
for special fares have been received
to date, but it is expected that a large
number of requests of this kind will
be sent within short time.
number of applications for special
fares to conventions were acted upon,
the members of the association de-
Gliding that the 2 cent regulation shall
be effective in each instance. Action
on the question of charging special
rate for transporting trunks, the great
est dimension of which exceeds As
inches, was deferred on account of the
recent announcement of the Interstate
commerce commission that it will
make thorough investigation of the
sub ieet.

New Orleans the road has recovered
from the high-water trouble and will be
operating through trains over the main
line about July Is. 1t is estimated that
the physical damage from high water
will not amount to over $4,000 and that
$3.50 600 will cover the loss in turning
traffic over to the other roads. AS a
consequence of this combination of cir
cumstances the road had an operating
deficit in May of $72,439.
Judge Freeman made the significant
statement that money was nearly as
cheap in the Southwest as in the North
and that he could readily borrow in
Texas at 6 per cent. He said also that
banks in that state were beginning &c

Now 1t Is Admitted Rogers

Wealth to Build 1t.
HE SAW PANIC COMING
Credit, Great as 1t Was, Not
Good for Amount.
Two MiIIionaires Build INDIE

New York. July 13.-Five and hall
years ago, the late H. H. Rogers WITH
great difficulty secured loan, needeu
for his railway construction. Today IL
is announced that all but about mil
lion of a bond issue of SIS, 600 for
that road has been easily marketed and
the million will speedily be.
Mr.. Rogers was among the first to
discover the symptoms of financial dis
order which eliminated in the money
panic of 1907. For Mr.. Rogers learned
that in order to obtain the large amount
OF money he needed Immediately for
the railroad which he was constructing
across Virginia, something more than
his individual credit was essential as
security That credit had been very
high It matched the great credit which
enabled Henry c. Prick for years to oo-
tain the loans which he needed from
New York banks TO which his represen-
tatives made application, these banks
being ever ready to discount MI
tricks paper and upon as advan-
tageous terms as any business man OBJ
tanned.
Mr.. Rogers possessed equally high
credit one reason, possibly, being that
he was somewhat careful about making
use of it. But in order to obtain early
in 1907 the loans he needed he was COM
PEELED to furnish collateral security,
much of which represented his posses
sions of Standard Oil certificates. Fur
thermore, he was obliged to submit to
the exaction of interest at the rate OF
z per cent
Mr.. Rogers financed with his own
fortune the construction of railroad
four hundred and seventy miles in
water, w. Va, and the other at Nor
folk a seaport terminal. This road
passed through the rich Pocahontas and
New River coal districts 1t did not

who is understood to have been the
constructive genius who suggested the
holding company or what is called the
trust feature of the Standard Oil, hav-
ing accumulated a fortune of many
millions in association with others, de-
cided that he might reasonably under
take to finance a railroad proposition
in Florida born in his own brain.
So it happened that at the same time
these two men. F'lagler and Rogers,
were utilizing their own fortunes, not
seeking any assistance from the public
occasionally borrowing large funds. but
upon the security of their own credit or
collateral of which they were the ex-
elusive owners.
Great Personal Ambition.
The rea soning in New York finan-
cial districts respecting these ventures
was that Mr.. Rogers and Mr.. Flagler
had honorable although perhaps ad-
venturous. ambition to succeed greatly
without cooperation with any other
person.
Mr.. Ro gers reasoned that if he
could build railroad from the heart

HOUSEHOLD TALKS.

Georgia, Virginia, Carolina, Mary
land and other southern states are
celebrated for an individual style of
cookery. In Louisiana and that part
of our country settled by the Spanish
we find other dishes with distinct
peculiar characteristics. In the first
named states the cookery is Identical
with that of colonial days, which was
only an adapted form of genuine
English cooking. This is today the
true American cuisine uncontamin-
ated by hodge-podge flavors added
by every incoming immigrant with a
garlic, onion and oil-loving palate.
The cooking classed as Southern
might well be termed "Mayflower

on our good English ancestry.
