impressive and exceedingly attractive.
His low voice, his hesitating speech
with the trace Of a drawI in it; his
friendly confidence, his cheerful eyes
gray and wide open-and his excellent
manners help him in his conquests over
the prejudices, passions and conflicting
interests of business men and politicians.
Women say that he is handsome. Hus-
bands and fathers agree with them.
Undoubtedly. Myron Herrick is a multi
millionaire. Persons observing him fire.
quently say, in envy, perhaps, that he
goes joyfulIy upward without any great
labor or any particular genius, so far as
Col. Herrick is uncommonly shrewd, in
dustrious and eager for fame and fortune.
though he may seem Indifferent to the
tumult which others create around him.
II Gov. Herrick is not in the center,
he is at the rim of every big, money
making crowd that gathers in the United
States. He has had profitable relations
with the Goulds and the Morgans In
politics he has been the comrade of Nc
Kinley and Hanna. He is intimately
known to newspaper writers in Washing
ton, New York. London, Paris. Berlin,
and Vienna. When he likes a reporter,
or is thankful for a hint or word Of
sound counsel. he may give the reporter

teen volumes, bound in the best quality

Always Watching on the Wall.
Nothing has ever just occurred with
Ambassador Herrick. Tranquil, frequent
ly invisible. almost mysterious. he is
never idle. No watchman on any wall
that was ever built has been more dill
gent or vigilant. Some persons sense
danger. Myron Herrick senses oppor-
tunities. Friends of his say that he
may be taking a short midday nap on a
couch at the Union Club in Cleveland
but if a group of men begin talking
business in the next room he will imme-
diately get up and join in the conversa-
ton. If the talk is about trivialities,
however, Herrick does not hear them.
Throughout his life it has been his
practice to make helpful acquaintance
that is the way he got his start in Cleve-
land Potentially the nod of a rich man
is worth more than the smile of a poor
one. Herrick has been making new and
friends in Paris. It is thought
out in Ohio that France has been the !
place of his resurrection, and that he |
will return to America and again be- |
come active in politics-maybe run with |
Roosevelt or some one else for Vice !
President.
An episode in the nard. gray begin |
nings of this mans life reveals his inbred |
quality and passion. He has told me the |
story-how he secretly left his home in |
the night "a log cabin on a little farm |
in Ohio) and, keeping at the side Of the |
road. faded away in the shadows and |
darkness. At sunrise he was overtaken (
by his father on horseback. Where are i
you going" he was asked.
To Oberlin College" he replied. II

Il have no objection to that" the |
father said. but when you leave home
do so in daylight; don't sneak away in
the night"

and four years later. in 1892, at Mime
apolis. he continued his support Of shsr-
man. and. what was Infinitely more I'M
portant to himself, came into personal
contact with william Mckinley. who also
was a delegate. 1t was in 1882 and at Min
nespolIs that Mark Hanna formed the
resolution to bring about NcKinley's
nomination in 1896. In the remarkable
campaign that followed Herrick had no
small part during one Of its financial
phases. He was getting rich manufactur-
ing csrbons for electric lights, in friendly
underwritings and in other enterprises
inside and outside Of Cleveland. and now
lived in a beautiful home.
Mr.. Mckinley was fond Of visiting. He
liked imported cigars, good dinners and
entertaining company. 1t has often been
said that he and William J. Bryan would
have made excellent preachers. Usually
Mr.. Mckinley. when in Cleveland, stayed
at Mark Hanna's house, which was at the
western edge Of the city and rather ha-6

from all unwelcome intrusion, Mckinley

Meanwhile the gentle-spoken. WE'LL
hammered young Herrick. tall and slim,
steady-eyed and broWn-haired, was
making the acquaintance of the best
people" in Cleveland. Then one day
old Judge Stephenson Burke, president
of the Hooking Valley Railroad and a
Hickox. a millionaire. sent for the city
editor Of the leading newspaper. They
were men OF might at the time. none
was mightier. and trustees for the So

wage-earners. The trustees. twenty-four
in number, were self-perpetuating and
formed the financial, commercial and in
dustrial. yes. and the social aristocracy
of Cleveland.
A calamity threatens the community.
Judge Burke told the city editor with
much vigor of tone and gesture, as he
paced his ofice floor. "A young man
named HerriCk wants to be secretary
and treasurer Of the Society for Savings.
Some of the trustees are going to vote
for him. Who is this man Herrick?'
Judge Burke snorted. What does he
know about the banking business? Ex-

the city editor.

editor sent TO Myron Herrick that even
ing. He was a young man, too. Myron
Herrick understood. He saw Judge
Burke and Charles Hickox and the next
day they voted for him. The vote OF
the board of trustees, indeed. was unan-
Imous. Talking about Herrick is one
thing: seeing him and hearing him talk
is thing altogether different.

Graves.
BY JAMES b. MORROW.

The cables are bringing readable and
even heroic paragraphs from Paris about
Myron T. Herrick, the American Ambas-
sador to France. Hundreds OF his coun-
trymen home again from the edges Of
the great war. are praising his efforts
and sympathy in their behalf.
One of Myron Herrick's specialties is
human beings. His talents, however, are
three and may be written down in the
following order: Trading, negotiating and
fitting himself naturally into whatever
happens to be his environment. Thus
mankind, which alone can give exercise
to his trinity of gifts, is nearly always
chosen for the working out Of his pur-
poses

unless it were a ranch in the West in
habited by cowboys or harvesters. He
would go insane, penned alone in shop,
making boards into tables or leather into
harness and saddles. Man is his raw
material, to be led. fashioned and ma
neuvered. The American refugees could
have found no better friend, guide and
philosopher had they hunted every cor
ner OF Europe.
Sent TO France two years ago by Presi-
dent Taft, for reasons not entirely COM
prehensible to the Ohio Republican cleo
torate, Mr.. Herrick at once began the
study of the French language. He would
have studied Chinese had he gone to
China, or japanese had he gone TO Japan.
So he fitted himself right at the start
for direct transactions. eye to eye with
diplomatists. French reporters and Who
soever appeared at the door of the en-
bassy 1t is said that he speaks the
language of France with grace and
fuency and that he can read it and even
write it when necessary.
An Eye-tO-Eye Expert.
Eye to eye is Mr.. Herricks method of
management when he does the managing
himself and not through an agent Con-
sequently he is not a ready letter writer.
Mr.. Mckinley rarely put his hand to
any important writing of a personal or
political character. He used messengers.

were led into a private room, where a
sort of hypnotism lent a soft seductive

Herrick copies Mckinley, whose great
friend he was. in the scant use of pens,
ink and paper, but he was an eye-to-eye
expert long before Mckinley was ever
thought of in connection with the Presi- |
dency. Nature, intending that he should |
so work out his problems and win his |
contests, gave him a personality at once
