MAN who is
frequent
ly mentioned
these days as a
probable nominee
for vice president on
4 the Democratic
ticket Is Eugene N.
J Foss of Massachu
setts, t be Democrat
who carried the
rock ribbed Repub
1 1 c a d Fourteenth
district of congress.
That victory has at
tracted wide atten
tion to him in the past year, and It is
now believed that If be can 'keep him
self Id the public eye be will be prac
tically certain of a place on the Demo
cratic national ticket In 1912.
Fobs Is the sort of business man that
every politician welcomes Into politics
-until he gets In. It's on the level
with him. Be doesn't care about being
elected -to bold an office Is bound to in
terfere tremendously with a dozen or
so business enterprises but he dearly
loves to fight He Is a dynamo In
breeches, He began life as a lumber
salesman and put a prohibitive tariff
on the pursuit of happiness for bis
wtupeuiuta. riuuiijr iitt was mkeu
into the opposition firm, married the
opposition's daughter and has been
putting into practice a number of high
ly original ideas ever since.
Why do tome men succeed so tre
mendously, while others just plod
along and fall to get out of the rut?
Well, , take the case of Lewis Nixon,
the famous shipbuilder, who has just
been appointed chairman of the com
mittee for the betterment of steamship
service' by the pan-American confer
ence. At Annapolis Lew Nixon more than
"made good." In fact he Justified
his appointment to
such an extent In
the estimation of
his patron that to
day the record
made by General
Eppa O u o ton's
protege Is a prece
dent set for other
cadets. Young Lew
Nixon stood at the
very head of his
class the first year,
and every succeed- VCT'T J
ing year found him Us
till No. 1. In 1882
he was graduated LEW1S RIX0N
it the head of bis class and with a
phenomenal record In all his classes.
"How did you manage to do it?' be
was once nskpd. To which he replied.
"1 Just worked I knew what I want
ed, and I jiiHt rolled up my sleeves and
worked to gel It."
And ii was by -rolling up his sleeves
and working' t lmt brought . his later
successes.
You will see the tuttiu of Thomas L.
Hlsgen of Massachusetts mentioned
frequently In the dispatches from now
on, for as president of the Independ
ent peu oleum. -marketers he Is going to
lead the fight that organization now
proposes to make against the Standard
Oil company. Mr. Uisgen was born In
Petersburg, Ind., on Nov. 26, 1858. His

Tbe business Is now large and suc

for the plant. '
' Dr. William T. Dornnday, who has
been engaged In a controversy with
Secretary Nagel over Ibe destruction
of tbe seals on tbe Prlbtlof Islands, be
came the head of tbe New York Zoo

man on tbe continent who ought
