Gates was a financier as well
as gambler; phiianthrOpiSt as
well as plunger; industrialist
along with his speculatiOn-and
family man and art lover above
all else. Like Riley Grammar,
Gates was a born gambler.
Gambling was his life. 1T was
both his career and his hobby,
his profession and his avOca-
fiou. Unlike Grammar. he found
his field wherever his steps led
him.
The turn of card was as much
a challenge as the manipulation of
a railroad; the rattle of dice lured
as much as the reconstruction OF
a utility. He would bet you on
politics or trapshooting; on base.
ball game or a war. His only
limit was the measure of his OPP
ponent's wealth. If you had five
dollars he would cover 1t and
thrill in the covering; if you had
500 times as much, it was all the
same to Gates.
A shrewd business man and cap
able of holding his own with the
best when it came to driving a
bargain, Gates WGG, none the less,
a speculator by nature and
plunger by instinct So long as he
could see an advantage in his
favor it was his policy to play for
high stakes. In his first business
venture as 17-year-oId hardware
clerk. he matched wits with a
shrewd. crafty veteran and, playing
for high stakes. won. He followed
the same method at every turn in
life. the result being picturesque
career filled with bitter enemies
and loyal friends, but with never
a tinge of mediocrity. He took
the frowns of fortune with the
same good-natured laugh with
which he accepted her smiles. A
