He narrow-| ly escaped a complete smash. | A $20,000,000 loan tided him over! one bad period; then he had to sell all of his bank stocks to meet that| loan.

Prosperity had deserted the north-| west completely—-and the north was the territory served by the Ch cago, Milwaukee. & St. Paul ra road. The road went into the hands| of a receiver, and Armour took no} one knows how big a loss. His cago freight subway project col- lapsed utterly. Armour had to sell his magnificent $5,000,000 country estate on the lake shore north of Chicago. Then, to top the climax, his $20,- 000,000 wheat trading organization took adive. Early this year its com- plete withdrawal from the grain trade Was announced. Still Rich—But— To be sure, as stated before, Armour did not die a_poor man—not by-any standard.

He has been a Republican ever since. Becoming a Republican in a rock- ribbed Democratic family was easier, however, than becoming a lawyer. Young Miller had little money; a col- lege education was out of the ques- tion. So he became a country school teacher, working in a lawyer's offi in the evenings and painfully digest- ing facts about law in his spare mo- ments, ' His legal education had progressed ‘ for perhaps two years when he en- ¢ tered politics.
