secretary of war during President
Cleveland's luli'i'al.-ii-alluii. Mr. Chain
hi riaiu was the chief commissioner
for tho settlement of tho North Amer
ican fisheries dispute In 1887. Ills
career was threefold—commercial, mu
nicipal. political—and in Ids day he rose
to very high place in each.
Joseph Chamberlain happened by
chance to be born in Loudon, but ho
was a Birmingham man all through,
lie went from London, where his
father was a wholesale bather and
metal merchant, to Blrmln, ham at the
ape of sixteen, having Just left school.
There was a firm of scrowmnkers in
Birmingham, Neltlefold by name, tr
whom the elder Chamberlain had given
credit for a large amount In (lie w..y

his father to take out the debt in <i
share in the business and continue the
credit The father agreed, and Joseph
Chamberlain was launched upon his
business career.
He needed only that much intvodu •
tlou to get tbe chief partner's stool in
record time, and soon lie made a de
cision that led to the making of his
vast fortune.
One day a workingman walked int i
his office with a patent 1o sell. The
patent was a screw with a sharp end.
Up to that time all screws were blunt
nosed. The man had hawked it about
to all tbe other manufacturers, and
they had all refused to buy it. Some
one finally told him Joseph Chamber
lain was a pushful, progressive man
and advised that the patent bo shown
him.
fa a flash Joseph Chamberlain sav
the chance nil his rivals had refused
to take, ami lie purchased the patent at
the man's own price, SSOO.
That decision delivered (he whole
I trade in screw making info Ills hand
He bought or smashed every other
screw malting business in the country,
ff the firm would soli ho bought; I’
they would not lie swamped their mar
ket until they gave up in despair.
Chamberlain was now in ids lap
twenties, and inter, when he retired
fr ni the firm, lie took as Ids share of
the business $5,000,000, which, togoth
er with what he had saved, allowed
him he said, “enough to live upon."
