SHOWN THE WAY THEY MUST GO
Practical Bspcrlenea la Partlralar
Llara 1fcaaarr (or the Preapr
vatlaa ( the Faanllr
latereata.
Not Ions aero one wno Is well acquainted
with many of the world's money ktnga
made the statement that It was the rule
rather than the t xoeptlon for the rich young
man to be to a certain extent Induatiioua.
This la subatantlated by the way the aona
of men moat conspicuously rich have fol
lowed the rlcoroua paternal training- laid
out for them and have taken up the heavy
work of the atewardahlp of mllllona with
out bavins known the delighta of the gume
of acquisition.
Young Rockefeller both preaehea and
practices the gospel of hard work. In col
lege he was etudlous and abstamloua, and
devoted to only one kind of aport, and that
foot ball. Mr. Rockefeller deolded to give
Brown university the honor of educating bis
on because he wished him to eacapa the,
temptation of a largrr college. lie waa a
good atudvnt and waa involved In only one
row with the faculty. He waa accuied of
plaglarlara. He not only dliproved the
charge, but made the faculty apologise,
which In Itaelf gave him an unuaual repu
tation for character and determination.
Now ha la a buay man. The futher'a 111
health baa forced him to aeek relaxation ao
persUteotly that be la endeavoring to paae
on to the younger man's abouldcra aa many
of th great reeponalbllltlea u ha can.
. Jotua t Jr., entered into tba buatneaa life
of hta father at 23 and alnce then haa
worked just aa If he were a clerk. He
rises at o'clock In the morning and at 1
he takes a walk If he la In town. If ha la
In the country he chopa wood, a form of
exercise which he Inherits from his father.
At 9 he la In hla office, and be works there
Incessantly until late In the afternoon. It
In this young man the characteristics of his
grandfather, who waa a reckless, gambling
seller of patent medicines, had manifested
themselves, no body would have been sur
prised. But he Uvea up to the gospel of the
Industrious and strait-laced character that
Is represented by his father. To ehow that
he Inherits hla business acumen It may. be
mentioned that In one deal, and within a
few years of his going into business, he
made $1,000,000.
From the time he waa a boy Harry Payne
Whitney waa trained to be the heir and
executor of a great fortune. It la the opin
ion of men familiar with the vast problems
of life that he beglna his career equipped
with the most extraordinary business edu
cation of any young man of hla time. For
ten years he was his father's daily com
panion, and the father's only thought was
to fit him for the great game he waa to
play. He took him to all the meetings of
directors of corporations In which he was
Interested. He heard the discussions, po
litical, financial, social and legal, of the
keenest and moat resourceful minds.
Whitney's First Pay fao.
It waa hla ambition to become a news
paper man, but In response to the respon
sibility which ha from the first accepted
he began hla business life by going Into
a bank, where he worked early and late.
He earned $-0 a week, and waa proud 1
It. When some of his friends urged him to
take a vacation he grinned and said that
he couldn't afford it. The fact waa that
ha wanted to get through with the drudg
ery of the bank as soon aa possible. He
stuck to It, however, until his father
thought It waa time to put him at more
intricate finance. When ha took to the
turf, although It pleased the alder Whit
ney that hla aon shared hla own Interest
In horseflesh, he persuaded him to lay even
this aside for a few years until he bad
learned more of what waa to be bis Ufa
work.
By hla father's will he was made heir to
half the estate. The other half waa dis
tributed between the rest of the children
and stepchildren. The eldest son, however,
waa responsible for and executor of the
whole estate, so that the fortune of which
he hai the care amounta to $26,000,000,
besides the $10,000,000 which came Into hla
care with hta wife, who waa Gertrude Vfcn
derbllt. It Is said that the young man's sole
ambition la to be known aa a worthy aon
of William C, Whitney. It la well known
that he has an Intense aversion to specu
lation, and will adhere mora to the plan
of husbanding the great fortune than of
making a commanding figure in the pit
or on the floor of the exchange. In the
business ventures which he has engaged
In already he haa aurprlsed and delighted
the elder men with whom he has been
associated by his seal and Intense ab
sorption of the matter in hand to the ex
clusion of other Interests known to have
a great fascination for him.
It Is well known that Hill, the railway
magnate, looks forward to tha time when
he shall hand over the burden of hla work
to hla sons. They are already tremendously
active in hla affairs and show an ability for
knuckllrg down to work of which their
father la Juatly proud. The early training
wliUh they had was more rlgoroua than
that generally given by even the strictest
school of millionaires.
"When I started them in," says this mag
nate, "1 gave them the lowest places .1
could find, and warned them that they
would get tired Just aa quickly aa any other
fellow on the road. They have had to
work, and they have proved themselvea
but not through my efforts. Their father's
Influence did not help them."
In the light of their preoent achievement
it does no harm to chronicle the fact that
while at college at least one of the brothera
showed a disposition to sow wild oata. A
warning or two waa sent home to the presi
dent of the Great Northern system to the
effect that mora etudlous application on the
part of young "Jim" waa necessary or
hla college career might be frosted. It
waa one after a message of this kind that
he made a lucky hit with hla father and at
the same time received a strong Incentive
toward the work for which he has of late
shown auch capability.
Thesis Makes a Hit.
Summer vacation waa near at hand and
"Jim" did not look with enthusiasm upon
his probable reception at home. His father
had taken tha question too seriously for
comfort and had hinted a decided curtail
ment In the coming vacation expenses. His
chance for a master stroke came in the
demand for a thesis, for which one of the
topics offered was, 'The Effect of the
Transportation Bystema on the Growth of
Cities."
"Hera Is where I save my life," said tha
young man, and from that time forth he
forsook his more cheerful haunts and spent
his time In the university library. Ho dug
out statistics and sought out information
chiefly about the great northwest. He
compiled and condensed and clipped and
copied until the result was a paper that
passed the university with flying colors.
It was then carefully forwarded by regis
tered mall, well ahead of the forthcoming
of tha author. J. J. Hill waa delighted and
one of tha tokena of parental esteem be
stowed upon the young man that summer
waa the chartering of a yacht for his per
sonal benefit. '
"It was the hit of my life," siild "young
Jim." "Dud figured me out aa t lie
wisest material for a rallrcud man that
ever .came down the track. 'Transporta
tion and the growth of cities,' well, I
guess. Couldn't have landed harder If I
had studied every day since 1 waa a
freshman."
In splta of tha fact that honors were
easy in that instance, it waa a fact well
known that severe discipline was the lot
of the Hill boys In their younger days,
and many stories are told of their mother
doing everything In her power to inter
cept from them the full brunt of pater
nal severity.
Stlllman Begins Own Climb.
The canes in which the sons of rich
men take the Initiative by beginning at
the bottom are rare. One of the most con
spicuous Is that of Chaunoey Btlllman,
He Is a workman eager for success, who
has been promoted twice by adherence
to the arduous dlnclpllne of a common
laborer. Far from being forced to sup
port himself with his hands, he la worth
$2,000,000 In his own right, and will In
herit millions more.
Soon after his marriage to the young
trained nurse who was In sympathy with
him in his ambition to win position for
himself he started for the far west to
look for employment. At Truckee, Cat.,
he applied for a position under the divis
ion superintendent, and was given a
place as a section hand at $1.S0 a day.
In the most menial position possible and
associated with Italian and Chinese in
the laying of rails and In the driving of
spikes he began to climb the ladder of
practical railroading. After some weeks
lie receied his first promotion, and was
transferred to a small station up the
road and made its gardener and janitor.
At Truckee Mr. and Mrs Btlllman lived
In a little cottage near the railroad. In
his new place he made a lawn and flower
garden around the railroad depot.
Is Good Hugaage Smasher.
The second promotion came when he
was given a position us truckman, bag
gage handler and general utility man at
the station of the rioutliern I'ueine road
at Ouklands. Though bronzed, muscular
und liurd-rlsted, Btlllman was recognized"
by the statu n maxter as a college man,
und his first remark to him was, "Vou
will need a suit of overalls for this
wurk."
"I have them," aaid tba possessor of a,
fortune ' which exceeded that of anyone
in Oaklanda, aa he unrolled hla bundle.
It la a busy station, and Stlllman had
few moments of leisure. Work began
at 8 o'clock In the morning. At 6 o'clock
In the evening he doffed his greasy cloth
ing and with empty lunch box In hand
hurried to take the train for home.
"He Is doing no more than any prac
tical young business man la willing to
do," said Mrs. Stlllman.
His object Is to thoroughly master the
business which he will some day be called
upon to direct as the head of one of
the heads of a score of railroads and
other corporations, in which James Btlll
man la still a prominent figure. To divide
with him the responsibility is the other
son, James A. Stlllman, who Is taking
his own business training aa the partner
of hla father.
How Mor( Was Tralnet.
Junlua Spencer Morgan, partner of George
