turesque Command Of the Eng
lish Language.

New York.-Of no man In American
history can II so truly be said that the
making and losing Of fortune was a
common thing to him than Thomas w.
Lawson.
The Boston fnancier. who has been
the center Of the political stage In the
last month, by reason Of his accusa-
tons regarding wrongful use Of secret
diplomatic information to gain mil
lions In Wall street, has been kind
Of financial volcano, erupting fitfully
but powerfully, for % years.
No one can say how many tens Of
thousands have made money-and how
many more thousands have lost--by
paying heed to his widely advertised
stock-market advice.
He has been attacked savagely time
and again In the public prints, while
his own ,onslaughts on "the system"
(of which he confesses he was once n

prominent member), the Standard Oil
interests, and the money trust" are
matters Of recent history.
His command of language - both
slang and the kings English--is re-
markable. He has spent millions In
prOmulgating his opinions through big
advertisements In the newspapers. He
can't remember, he says, how many
times he has been sued criminally and
civilly for libel--yet he has won every
case brought against him.
A Boston newspaper once printed a
six-page attack of lurid character on
Lawson. The financier got out an in
junction, but the newspaper proprietor
barred the door against the injunction
server; the presses ground out the edi-
ton, and Boston read the story. The
effect was slight. Lawson continued
on his way serenely--although what
would be serene and ordinary for
Thomas w. would be trip through
the Whirlpool rapids OF Niagara for an
ordinary man.
Started Tempestuousiy.
His career started tempestuOusly, for
he ran away twice in finally sue
cessful effort to substitute business
for school,
Lawson is New Englander by
birth and Southerner by descent.
Three of his uncles were Episcopal
clergymen. He was born in Cambridge,
Mass, In 1889, and brought up by his
mother after his father was killed on
battlefield of the Civil war.
When he was twelve years old he
skipped from school and got place
as an errand boy In the banking house
Of Stevens. Amory & Co., In State
street, Boston. He was speedily ap-
pretended and returned to his books,
only soon to make another break for
the realms Of trade. This time. his
guardians decided they had better let
him stay at work and get sick Of It.
But he didn't get sick.
Instead he had meteoric rise-if
this smile was ever appropriate. AT
twenty-One he was an operator on the
Boston street" At twenty-four he
was man Of great wealth, and sat
around green tables with millionaires
as director In big corporations.
At thirty he had become a man to
be watched by the big financial inter-
ests, for he was "a speculative factor
OF Importance"
Meantime he had turned out large
number Of successful mechanical In.
ventlons. When hardly more than n
boy he put on the market substitute
for playing cards, which had quite a
run OF success. lie also wrote, printed
and published a booklet on baseball,
of which he is an enthusiastic devotee.
The book was called 1.-THE Krank His
Language and What II Meant" and for
the work he invented special paper,

He took a prominent part In the

HOW TOM LAWSON ROSE TO WEALTH
were distributed by Republican cam.
paign committees.
First Financial Undertaking.

First Financial Undertaking.
His first financial undertaking was
the reorganization of the Lawson
Story Service company. He lost large
amount just after this successful coup
when he tried to rebuild the Rand
Avary Publishing company. But he
recouped quickly by operating In West
inghouse Electric.
He lost another fortune In southern
land "boOms," especially the Grand
River Land company. Then came his
great Bay State Gas operations. which
made him thousands of enemies and
thousands Of friends. Out of the maze
of conflicting stories 1t is impossible
to determine just how much Lawson
had to do with what happened. Suffice
IL to say that under Lawson's master
hand the stock Of this company. gy-
rated to giddy heights and then sank
into the abyss, having today nominal
value OF IL cents share.
LawsOn's operations had now be-
come gigantic. He entered the "sys-
tem." us he himself explained, with
the object of combining oil the copper
interests Of the country.
Here one again becomes involved in
mass of disputed details. Lawson
sold Butte and Boston Copper stock
short from $40 share to. 20 cents,
cleaning up fortune. Then he began
to buy, and urged his friends to buy,
saying he believed In the future Of the
company. He paid $40 share assess
ment, acquired a majority Of the stock,
and soon was invited to Join the group
including II. II. Rogers, John d. Rookie
Teller and others of the STANDARD OH
crowd" in consolidating all the cop
per companies Of the United States
What happened Lawson describes at
length in "Frenzied Finance" but few
Of his statements regarding the matter
stand unchallenged.
Made Great Fortune.
At any rate. Lawson pulled on. with
great fortune, and changed from q
friendly to hostile attitude toward
the STANDARD OIL crowd" whom he
now vigorously denounced.
He built up a great financial "fol.
lowing" Of investors and small specu.
lators, whom he Influenced by spread.
eagle newspaper advertisements In
fiamboyant style.
OF late years his name is not heard
so often, and his financial influence has
declined.
Besides finance, Lawson Is intensely
Interested In flowers, paintings, bronzes
yachts and horses. And he has one
other great hobby-his six children.
For his wife, who was Miss Good
willie Of Cambridge, he paid $3O,OOt
to get the famous flower now called
the "Mrs. Thomas w. Lawson pink.
He bought the yacht Dreamer ant
other craft and built beautiful Mas
