I've been years in collecting them, ever since I left college. Those on railroads ought especially to interest you I'm somewhat of a railroad man myself." "I didn't know that," said Austen.

No one knows or can ascertain the exact profits of the Vanderbilts and of other railroad owners from their control of both the anthracite, and largely the bituminous, coal mines.

Mere pleasure-hunting plays but a small and wholly subsidiary part in such lives, and they are usually filled with much useful work. This man, for example, is a banker on a colossal scale.
