As Reported by d. c. Forbes, Editsr
Of Forbes Masnrine.
'Mr. Morgan wants to see you in
message received one day by the vice
president of New York bank.
He hadn't the slightest idea what
the financier could want with him.
At 3 O'Clock the banker wondering
what the matter could be, rang the
bell of the famous Morgan library.
Are you ready?" queried Mr.. Nor
gan.
Ready for WHAT" queried the
sstonished visitor.
For what?" echoed Mr.. Morgan.
"You know I want YOU TO come and
join my firm on the first OF January"
You never said anything about it,
Mr.. Morgan"
II thought you knew by my attitude
what thought Of you" said Mr.. Nor
gan.
A pause.
Mr.. Morgan. have you ever fallen
from an eighteen-story buildins?"
1t was Mr.. Morgan's turn to be
astoniShed.
NO" he replied. scrutinizing his
visitor.
well, I never have before, and IT
will take me a minute or two to
catch my breath.
Mr.. Morgan laughed.
And that was how Henry p. Davi-
son. then only 40, was notified or his
selection as a partner in the greatest
International banking firm in the
United States.
In climbing the ladder of success
what have you learned that you could
pass on to aid other struggling young
men? l asked Mr.. Dawson. Did you
conceive any shining goal and bend
everything to reaching it,"
"No." he replied. emphaticaliy.

Demolition of Old workhouse.

am informed that early in the
spring the razing Of the old work
house on Nineteenth street southeast,
near Congressional Cemetery, will be
completed. A force of prisoners
partially demolished the ancient struc-
ture just before the United States en-
tered the world war. The work halted
because of the war activities.
This building is one of the most
interesting landmarks in the District.
1t was built of the bricks from the old

ers, and the names OF hundreds of
them are scrawled on the inner walls
of the partially demolished prison. I
remember one prisoner whose case was
given countrywide publicity. He was
a successful politician in his home
town. and his friends advised him
that he should be rewarded for his
political services by an ambassador
ship to one of the big European coun-
tries So he came to Washington soon
after the Inauguration of President
Grover Cleveland. filed his application
and numerous Endorsements at the De-
partment Of State and awaited de-
velopments. He had a fat pocketbools
at first and gave champagne suppers
TO his admirers at a fashionable hotel
here. As his funds begun to run low
he shifted his quarters to a board

about the prospective
Enthusiastically. After the position he
was seeking had been filled by an
other man. he withdrew his papers
from the Department of State, and
applied in another department for a
chiefship of division. Next he sought
an ordinary clerkship, but failed to
get it. Then as his funds gave out he
lodged at the cheap resorts on WASH
ington's Bowery and lived on free
lunches" Finally. ashamed to return
to his home place. he was arrested for
''pan-handling'' on the streets for the
price Of q pad or meal, and served

Yet life would be q paltry trick
But for his busy days.
For who hath ploughed the fleld

And won the harvest yield for you!
Who feeds your need for golden

You dwellers on the urban street?

Who to my need hath set his hand.

concerning the rebuilding of "the
big white edifice on the hill" He
said three Presidents of the United

Quincy Adams-"exercised paternal
supervision over the work of re-
stoi ing and enlarging the Capitol
after its destruction by the British.
The greater part OF the work
was done under the direction of
President Monroe. 1t is recorded
that he gave directions concerning
the quarrying of the Potomac mar
BILE which was to be used in the
columns of the Senate and House
OF Representatives.
These columns today excite won
der and admiration" Mr.. Fry added.
This stone exists at the foot of
the most southeasterly range of the
Alleghenies. 1t Is strong and beau
tiful and composed of rubble and
pebble, takes a wonderful polish,
and is different from any marble
to be seen in other public buildings

And he looks at me again.
And comes over to me.
And stands like he was.
Getting ready to sprint
And says. What is it-

The same thing for a year.
And I'm a patient guy.
But I was slowly.
