kept them in school and taught them TO
be industrious and saving. Their tasks
at the family woodpile and in the lit
tie garden were not many, but the
mother saw to It that each boys work
was regularly performed.
One of the farmers. for whom the
young Rockefellers occasionally work
ed on Saturday, said: I'VE always
looked on VIII Rockefeller as smarter
than John, and liked him better, too.
II VIII had a piece of work to do he'd
pitch right In and get through 1t as
quick as he could, but John would sit
down and spend half the time figur-
ing out the easiest way before he be-
gan. We always thought he was a
little too lazy to make much OF a far
mer.
Il don't know that 1t was exactly
laziness. either. When he tackled a
thing he always stuck to 1t until IT
was finished. 1t was more of case
of counting the chickens before they
Matched with him. We reckoned IL
he was to be farmer he'd spend so
much time figuring up his yield Of
wheat that the season would pass be-
fore he got 1t sowed."
John d. Rockefeller was slow but
sure. He never went into a thing I'M
til he could see the end of 1t. Then
he worked for that end, steadily and
with logged persistency, until 1t was
accomplished.
The RockefelIers were poor: not
poor with the poverty of the city ton
ements-they had enough to eat and
clothes to wear-but there were few
Injuries in their little home. The
boys were glad to do a days work for
one OF the neighboring farmers when
they got the opportunity. For this
they received the prevailing pay for
boy labor--25 cents a day.
At present Mr.. Rockefeller's income
is not less than $4,000 per day. From
% cents to $4,000 IL long jump.
AS soon as John and William had
finished with the district school they
began to attend the owego academy.

important than that. he made a repu-

Many stories have been told as TO
how Rockefeller came 10 go into the
oil business. The truth OF the matter
Is that he became interested in OIL
Just when thousands OF others ala, al
the outbreak OF the Pennsylvania oil

In an article in The Young Woman
for February on THE Ascent of wom-
an" we are told that whereas the CEN
sus taken six years before Queen Vic
toria came to the throne contained no
occupations for women except domestic
service, there were at the date of the
last census $1,000 women dressmakers,
10000 employed In the public houses,
1900 in printing establishments and
4,721 in mines. Even the postoffice,
edged about with red-tapism as 1t is.
has nearly 10000 women as clerks, tel
egraphists. sorters, ETC., and there are
included in these figures no fewer than
l6O head postmistresses and $3.50 sub
postmistresses. Where there was one
lady clerk in 1871 there are now four;
and-to take two Industries only
there are now 121 women per 100 men
in the tobacco industry, az against AZ
per 100 In 1871; while In hemp and Jute
the women workers have increased
from 81 per 100 men to 1876 per 100.
There are throughout the kingdom
nearly 10000 women engaged
In teaching, almost three times the
number of men; and 200 women have
worked their way into government de-
partments as typists. 1t is significant
OF the part that woman now plays in
British commercial life that in a re-
cent year there were 1853 women bank
rupts. whose aggregate liabilities
amounted to E316,00O.
