One BINNS—$12 A WEEK. \CK BINNS’S salary was $12 8 week and board when he was working on the Republic, For the fifty-two hours Jack Binns worked on a stretch he got no overtime Every pay. hing, his services, his electrical skill, his courage, his judgment and his endurance, was included in the $12 a week. While Jack Binns was sending and receiving wireless despatches from the sinking Republic a member of the Stock Exchange an- nounced that he had made so much money in Wall street that he was going to retire and work no more. He had been a stock broker about as long as Jack Binns has been a wireless telegraph operator. On the Stock Exchange he had cleared up two or three million dollars. Jack Binns had not the money to buy a cigarette or a meal, much less to get clothes to replace those which he had borrowed. In recent years it has become too common to measure 4 man’s success he amount of money he has made and to compute his value to the rest of the world by the number of millions of dollars which ho has been enabled to get away from other people and keep other people from taking away from him. Mensured on this basis this stock broker is worth three million of Jack Binns. considerably more than three million stock brokers, ‘fluence scales, A fat man may outweigh two thin men. way is by height.

But the most common way of measuring men’s success {s by their wbility to make money. Rocke- feller is the richest man in the {United States, therefore he must be the biggest man in the United Btates, the ablest and the most powerful. J. Pierpont Morgan has got up more and bigger trusts than anybody else, therefore he fs a great man. Ganged by this woale, the stock broker who retired with $8,000,000 was not 8o suo bessful after all, although he showed a great deal of sense by ptreet man took it away from him. But measured by their services to mankind, Jack Binns excels them all.
