Onoof the bri(thtfl young men in public life said to a New York Sun man the other clay that be was going to make his ever lasting fortune some day when he grew tired of politics. "But there is plenty of timo for tha' said he "Do you know that it is almost a rule in this oountry that men donottnuke their fortunes until they are forty years old or olderl The grand excep tion to the rule is Jay Gould, but the con temporary fortunes were nearly all made when tueir founders were at or beyond lddloage. Commodoro Vanderbllt, John accb Astor, A. T. Stewart, and all the thers prove what I say." The reporter to whom this was said urncd over the pages of the biographies na otuer worKs ol reference at his hand. 'and found enough in them to warrant the assertion that at least a great many rich Americans have been beyond forty years of ago when they have accrued riches. Cer tainly the richest body of men In the land, the United States Senate, is composed of elderly men ; but in the lower house of Con gress wo see millionaires who loolr scarce ly old enough for the rule. Alexander!'. Stewart came here in 1898 from Ireland, where ho was born in 1S03. ,tHo opened a little linen store on Broadway, nnd gatnered wealth, very slowly at-tlrst, as imost other mon had done, lie was prudont, shrewd and original, and gradually bocamo a heavy Importer; but he was fortv-flvo years old when ho became able to put up the rst 01 itio two groat stores in which ho ftenvard transacted his business.
