A REAL ROMANCE

Office Boy to Millionaire.

Fortyalght years ago an office boy in the City of London, now an American millionaire, a load. I ing citizen of Chicago and the principal figure in the olootrical industry of the United States such is the life rooord of Mr. Samuel Iosull, in whose honour 'a ́dinner was given last month at the House of Commons by Mr. T. P. O'Connor, M.P.

Mr. Insull was born in Union- street, Westminster, in 1859, and he was 2 when he emigrated to Amorica.

This stop, which led to 80 astonishing a change of fortune.] was taken in consequence of what must have seemed vory hard luck at the time,

When noting 49 à shorthand clark, at a salary of £1 a week, ho was dismissed, so the story runs, because another clerk was willing to do the work for noth- ing and to pay a premium into the bargain.

... EDISON'S SECRETARY,

After a short. preliminary poried of, "roughing it" in the Statog, young Insull was ap pointed sosrotary to Edison. Hel soon became the inventor's right hand man and took charge of all his business interests,

Gradually ho extended h's fields of activity until, to-day, be controls not only the whole of the electric power, but the entire gas and elevated railways under- takings of Chicago.

So conspicuous is his position in the electrical industry of the United States that it is said, humorously, that the word "in- sulated' was coined from bia

name.

When America onterad the, war, he was made head of the entire military organisation of the State of Illinois, of which Chicago is the capital. For months on end, he is said to have worked 18 hours a day in the interests of the Allies.

One of Mr. Insull's hobbies is! music. He is a director of the Chicago Opera Company. other is paying visits to London.

Frequently he has crossed the Atlantic to spend a single week in. his boloved London. He took a cottage near Reading recently, choosing this district because his father was once an agent there for the United Kingdom Alliance,
