THEBE WERE
It is hard to understand the idio
syncrasies that attach themselves to
different men. No really great man
is without his peculiarities and his
pet hobby that usually tak% the
form of something apparently foreign
to his makeup, as is known to the
outside world The men of history
are noted and marked for some hob
by, noticeable because of its peculiar
ity. In the ordinary man perhaps the
same thing would pass unnoticed and
unheralded. There is no law of na
ture or man that governs or regulates
the matter but statistics prove that
the hobbies of the banker and broker
usually take the form of a collector
of rare articles; perhaps accentuated
by their life training of calling in
past-due paper. The passion may
run to art, archaeology or even rare
furs and skins and often, too, espe
cially where the field is narrow, the
surplus energy of mind and body
calls for physical activity.
For instance how many men of
this ilk of your acquaintance, through
the newspapers, have built summer
homes and just think of the vast num
ber of Rockefeller oil tanks and the
Pullman cars. Construction, always
construction; the insane idea of con
stant building. However, the hobby
ist insists on building up and does not
believe in tearing down or up or
j across. The tearing process is often
! embarrassing, especially when the
; application comes home to the
| wearer.
i Anchorage is not without its bank
! er-brokers and, too, the same unwrit
i ten law that called upon Kussell Sage
| to build a log cabin in the Adirondaks
i governs them. Answering the call he
! arose at the workingman's glorious
i hour of sunrise and inhaled two lungs
! full of ozone; annexed a hammer and
saw and sallied forth with the deter
mination to build. To build a one
room house that would always ap
pear to him as an artistic monument
of his craft, his designing and his
manual labor.
Neither the carpenter’s nor the
architect’s union sent a walking del
egate to call him off nor did they ask
for his card but patiently waited un
til the time would come when they
would be called in for consultation
and assistance. Hut in this they were
disappointed, for it was the tailor and
his goose that got the job.
Hoard by board, plank by plank,
safely nailed in place, the structure
rose in magnificence and height, even
unto the final board. The song he
sang was of the plains, wild untram
meled life and romance and to the
tune of the hammer and saw. Ar
rayed not as the ordinary artisan in
a carpenter’s suit he worked blithely
and gaily and often stood back to
view his handiwork through his own
and a connoisseur’s glasses.
No, he worked, this banker-broker,
in a suit of the vintage of TO and the
color was not the blue of the Union
army. “The constant dripping of the
water will eventually wear away the
stone;” the same logic is applicable
to other things, even unto trousers,
worn thin in service.
The last board was in place and the
final nail driven home. There may
be other cottages more elaborate and
more expensive but to him as he
viewed his labors the structure as

sumed the magnificence of an Italian
villa; he was satisfied, and gloried in
his handiwork. What a shame you
have to “stoop to conquer” and gather
up things like odd nails, hammers and
saws and such commonplace things.
And why should the result have been
so disastrous after such a perfect day,
a golden day when duty had been
done? The location was isolated and
no help at hand except the memory
of the time-worn play of “Our poor
relations.” The shades of night were
falling and incidentally the mercury.
Reaction, after a strenuous day’s la
bor, set in; the structure dwindled in
size and magnificence as wrath and
cold grew and multiplied. Vividly be
recalled the scene of the one pair of
trousers and the handy barrel in the
old play. No, it was not the shades
of Sol Smith Russel walking awk
wardly in his barrel that greeted be
lated commuters; it was the banker
broker returning from his long toil.
The barrel was a necessity.
