T. Wood- ruff, the inventor of the sleeping car. approached him with a model of the invention. ‘He had not spoken te me a minute,” Carnegie has since he- ‘called, “before, like a flash, the whole |range of its value burst upon me. ‘Yes,’ I said, ‘that is something which | this continent must have.” He consulted Scott, and the three _invested for the manufacture of the cars. Carnegie, then earning $50 ‘monthly, had to borrow $200 on his | first installment of capital, but later when he sold out his interest to. the | Pullman company, he had realized. | $10,000 for the venture. Carnegie was 26 when the Civi! war broke out and he saw his old em- ployer and friend Scott elevated tc | the post of assistant secretary of war. | Carnegie, in turn, won an appoint- ment as director of government rail- | ways and telegraphs. To the car- nage he saw at several battles may ‘be traced his lifelong belief in the folly of warfare—“ a blot upon civili- | zation.” | Unwittingly following the lead of a man who was later to eclipse hir \in fortune building, Carnegie, at 30 | years of age, invested in oil. As one of a syndicate he bot up a vast tract of oil land. In a year, to the sur- prise of all the investors, it paid the | astonishing return of $1,000,000 in cash dividends upon a capital of $40,- , 000. ’ But iron was the magnet then at- tracting Carnegie. The railroads were | experimenting with cast iron bridges. | Carnegie foresaw the demand for 2 | factory that could turn out the iron parts, and he formed the Keystone Bridge Works. They built, as theif first great piece, a bridge over the Ohio river, with a span of 300 feet, Demand for similar structures became general, and the Keystone works got the big orders and profits. Carnegie then began to see that ‘iron rails must be given up for steel. On a visit to England in 1868, he discovered the success being obtained there with the Bessemer process. Car- negie quietly brot it home, and be- |fore the English makers were aware | of the fact, he had adopted it in his | mills. ‘ | The romance of his success was | such that the immigrant boy of 1848 became some forty years later the | world’s leading producer of steel, a multi-millionaire himself, and fast | bringing a score of other men into the same category. Many square miles of his mills surrounded Fitts- |burgh. He reached into Upper Michi- gan, 700 miles away, and acquired j Yast regions of ore land. He estab- ished railway and steamship lines to bring the ore to him. He boasted.of the reduction in price of steel rails from $95 a ton down to $26. His | critics claimed that even the lower figure was maintained only by the |fact that he had monopolized the in- dustry. A former secretary once di- vulged what was alleged to have been | official correspondence to the effect that the Carnegie steel combination could sell rails at a profit as low as $12 a ton. It was certain that the grip which he had upon the steel situation made his elimination necessary if others in quest of wealth in steel were to re- jalize the millions they saw going to him. He was, accordingly bot out in 1901. The syndicate headed by J. P. Morgan, which desired to form the billion dollar United States Steel cor- poration, paid $420,000,000 in their five percent bonds for the Carnegie Pub.

REALTY CO. Phone 1040-W “What a fool I was,” Carnegie later said in a hearing before a congres- sional committee at Washington, “tc sell out to the steel corporation for only $420,000,000. I have since learned from the inside that I could have received $100,000,000 more from Mr. Morgan if we had placed that value on our properties.” | Car- negie’s personal share in these hold- ings netted him about $250,000,000. His first actual investment in iron had been $1,500 of borrowed money, 36 years before. “The secret and wethod of my suc- cess is simple,” he said. “I organized my business into depfrtments. I put the best nran I could find at the head of each department, held him respon- sible and judged him by results. I have started more than 50 men on the read to millionaires.” Carnegie’s mother, to whom he re- peatedly gave credit for all that he was, lived to be an octogenarian, and so devoted was he to her that he hesitated to marry. In 1888, how- ever, he married Louise Whitefield, of New York, by whom he had one child, a daughter, Margaret, born in 1897. His bride was 20 years his junior. To her and her daughter probably remains a large fortune, not-} withstanding Carnegie’s public gifts. As an American citizen he estab- lished a magnificent home in New York, on Fifth Avenue at 90th street, and at the same time negotiated the purchase of the celebrated Skibo castle in Scotland. This mammoth baronial structure he remodeled bringing some steel for the purpose from Pittsburgh. The estate, com- prising many square miles along the Highland coast of Scotland, has ex- cellent grouse moors, and fishing brooks, in which Carnegie delighted, a golf links which he established and a pier off which he kept his yacht Seabreeze. One way or another he had crossed the ocean some hundred times, and once took a tour around the world. On his Skibo castle flag staff he flew both the Stars and Stripes and the Union Jack—sewed together. Intermittently Carnegie made ready use of his pen. His interview. with the newspaper men invariably wound ap with an envious remark such as “I would like nothing better than to be a reporter.” He wrote a little for the press in the days of Horace Greeley, and later owned a paper for a time. His books numbered about a dozen, his first being a testimony of his love of coaching—“An Amer- ican Four-in-Hand in Great Britain” (1883). The next year he wrote “Around the World.” Upon his re- tirement from business in 1901, he wrote “The Gospel of Wealth,” and}: followed it with “The Empire of Bus- iness.” In 1905 he, once an engi- neer in the factory cellar, wrote “The Life of James Watt,” the inventor of ty are the three legs of a three-legged stool; neither is first, neither is sec- ond, neither is third; there is no precedence, all being equally neces- sary. He who would sow discotd among the three is an enemy to all.”* “The day is coming, and already we see it dawn, in which the man who dies possessed of millions of available wealth which was free and in his hands ready to be distributed, will die disgraced.” And along the same line he said: “Among the saddest of all spectacles to me is that of an elderly man oc- cupying his last years grasping for more dollars.” Pertaining to success: “Immense power is acquired by assuring your- self in your secret reveries that you were born to control affairs.” Of the over-working tendency in America: “I hope Americans will some day find more time for play, like their wiser brethren on the other side.” On temperance: “The first and most seductive peril and the destroyer ‘of most young men, is the drinking of liquor.” (Mr. Carnegie himself was a total abstainer, and gave his ‘employes at Skibo castle a ten per- cent advance on their wages every year they reported! that they had not touched liquor.) His terse comment on such sub- jects and others without end—prop- erty as a spur to success—mother love —business organization—good read- ing—home making—and peace—he had scattered thru his books, even more widely than his princely gifts: There are two Carnegie “gifts” which will be generally forgotten, since they were never accepted. It was reported that his anti-imperial- ism prompted him to offer $25,000,- 000 to the United States government if it would turn over the Philippines to the natives for self-government. Later when the question of “What shall we do with our ex-presidents?” was widely discussed, Carnegie’s im- agination solved the problem. He of- fered to support them on a $25,000 pension every year so long as they lived, and do the same for their wid- ows so long as they remained unmar- ried. The proposition was frowned upon, and dropped. ee eee eee Probably the richest film actress in the world is Nell Shipman, who has inherited half of an estate valued at five million dollars through the recent death of her father, Arnold Foster Shipman. \_WAY FEVER «4 Melt VapoRub in @ spoon and inhale the vapors. b ? ¥K BODYGUARD® -Sor, the steam engine. His most recent work was ‘Problems of Today.” The attacks upon Carnegie were at one time numerous. He was often accused of having violated in prac-| tice what he had so conspicuously preached in theory, regarding labor. He saw the deyzlopment of workmen’s unions and sometimes was forced to concede their demands. He himself elaimed to have always maintained a relatively higher wage in his mills; than any other manufacturer. His theory on this subject and oth- ers, is reflected at random in numer- ous bits ef epigramatic phraseology culled from his interviews, speeches, and writing. “The instinct which led the slave holder to keep his slaves in igno- rance was a true one. Educate a man, and his shackles fall,” he said. “Labor, capital, and busi: Otto H. Krausse Brokerage Co. HENNING HOTEL We Recommend E. T. WILLIAMS AND.
