Young Rockefeller Begins His Busl-
ness Career,

New York, Feb 23--John d. Rock
efeller, Jr., started in business life
yesterday. He was elected a director
of the Delaware, Lackawanna and
Western railroad.
The younger Rockefeller has inher-
led the sagacity, energy and fore
sight that have brought enormous po-
sessions to his father. lie has the
advantage of thorough education
and of starting where his father leaves
off. He will not have to work years to
start his fortune.
AT twentyItliree years of age John
d. Rockefeller starts upon his active
career with practical training and
backed by $3O0,OOO,O00. There is no
one who knows the young man who
does not respect him. He Is earnest
sturdy, thoroughly trustworthy and
most democratic. He is rather Short
with strong muscles and a steady blue
eye. He makes absolutely no preten-
tions. His simplicity adds to the
charm of his manner.
He has known whatitis to work with
his hands. AS a boy he never had a
large Allowance of pocket money. He
has Deen carefully taught the value of
money. When he was about thirteen
years old his father offered him and a
boy companion who was visiting him
penny for every fence board they
would nail up on the great estate at
Forest Park, near Cleveland, which
covers thousands of acres.
Young Rockefeller received 13 cents
He put 1t in bank. 1t is not impossible
that he may some day POSSESS many
millions of dollars, and yet his first
bank account was a deposit of 13
cents.
He was not content to have the ac-
emulation idle. Even as a child the
accumulating instinct was strong in
him. He was anxious to have his
father invest the money he had earn
ed, and the spirit pleased Mr.. Rookie
feller. This money was invested, and
the amount the youth intimately re-
ceived from it was $4,000.
Young Rockefeller was prepared for
college by private tutor, and entered
Brown University when he was seven
teen. He was very popular in college
He was devoted to athletic sports as
well. He was made treasurer of the
varsity fotball team, and he showed
remarkable administrative ability. II
was said then that he was born flnan-
cier. He has never touched alcoholic
liquors or used tobacco. He is natur.
ally religious. He is fond of books
and good ones
Young Rockefeller was graduated
two years ago high in his class. Since
tnat time he has Deen in his fathers
office, passing through the apprentice
ship for the work laid out for him
His election yesterday as director o.
of the Lakawanna Railroad shows The
elder Rockefeller believes that thu
time has come when the education o
his SIN is finished.

IemDerament,

Ambassador Choate, n his speech at
the Union League Club, mentioned one
chief cause of his success in life in
stating the qualities and habits upon
which he depends for acqultting him
self we'll in the new field of diplomacy
Il shall rely, he said, upon happy
temperament, which is worth millions
to any man; upon infinite good nature,
upon plain dealing and truthful speak
ing"
This is indeed fortunate and ample
equipment when supplemented with
brains and learning. A happy tempera-
ment is the gift of the fairy godmoth-
er" who smiles above our cradles.
Both for enjoying and diffusing the
sunshine of life it is the richest in
heritance that comes to man or woman
1t is true, as has been saiu, that
Temperament is a tyrant." It cannot
be escaped or changed. 1t rules our
lives, But if it is happy and cheerful
and philosophical-if it leads one to
look on the bright SIZE of things, to
win friends by being friendly, to make
of both memory and hope seryitors OF
joy-It is, as Mr.. .Choate d4tlmates,
better than great riches.
There can be no doubt that our
new Ambassadors happy tempera-
ment," conjoined with his infinite
good nature, plain dealing and truth
ful speaking" will give him a dlsting-
uished success abroad as a representa-
tive of the American people and OF the
new diplomacy" which they have
done so much TO create.--New York

The F.mou. Black Crook.

To lovers of comedy there is
promised at an early date most
magnificent production of an up
to-date performance of Black
Crook, at the opera house, Tues,
day evening, May I'D. 1t is pro-
nounced everywhere as the most
sumptuous array OF beautiful seen
cry, pretty ladies, elegantly cos
tuned, funny comedians, bright
and catchy specialties, good acting
and altogether a performance that
is offered only once in a great
while. The transformation at the
close of the performance is a
dream of beauty, requiring the
greatest number Of drops and set
pieces ever taken on the road.
And as each scene softly dissolves,
disclosing a more beautiful scene
than the other, one is really be-
wildered until the end, when a
burst .of applause, impossible to
refrain from, fills the thcater.
There is the great incarnation
scene, of devils haunts, full OF
dragons, snakes, hooting owls,
boiling caldrons. fire and effects,
simply bewildering. The fairy
dell of fairies asleep on the borders
of dreamland, the queen and her
white swan gondola, the cave OF
gold, the magnificent palace

used by this company but what

comedy productions OF the day
into oblivion. There are four
beautiful Parasian dancers es-
pecially engaged to entertain the

came together in one great fight

came together in one great fight

Fourth, that the people who
came afterward and landed in
South America, emigrated TO North
America FIVE hundred and fifty
years after the first people were
killed, and found the country des-
titute OF timber, the first people
having destroyed it.
These points are backed up by
quotations from books OF the
church, which their authorities
cannot dispute. The institution
OF polygamy, although it has been
formally renounced by a vote OF
the Mormon people in conference,
is still the ruling principle OF the
church creed, and is generally
practiced by the leaders OF the
church. Polygamy and slavery
are the twin relics OF barbarlsm,
and it is to be hoped the United
States will be as successful in eradi-
eating the former as it has been in
the latter instance.

AssuRoIrIes OF moRm onlsm.
Two Mormon missionaries are

Two Mormon missionaries are
now proselyting in the Holbrook
country and holding frequent
meetings. They have not met
with any great degree OF success
SO far, although there are said to be
a few residents OF that district who
are beginning TO view their efforts
with less repugnance than was at
first accorded them. Should these
people become impressed with the
beauties of Mormonism, there may
be an emigration from the Hol-
brook country to Utah in the near
future.
Missionaries never preach po-
lygamy, they confipe themselves
to calculating the beauties of the
Book of Mormon, which was re-
vealed unto Joseph Smith, the
great apostle and founder of the
sect. The Book OF Mormon does
not endorse polygamy, in fact says
nothing about it, that particular
tenet of the church creed being a
private invention OF Joseph Smith
for his own purposes. These mis-
sionaries are appointed by the
church every year to go out unto
all the world and preach the gospel
OF Mormonism and induce converts
to go to Utah and embrace the
creed. That is why Salt Lake is
one of the most cosmopolitan OF
cities, its population embracing
people from every cline under the
sun.
Salt Lake is beautiful city and
a very desirable place to live, as
we know from personal experience.
The missionaries seldom forget to
impress this fact upon their hearers
in their attempts TO convert people
TO their creed. We hope, how
ever, that their efforts will not be
successful to the extent OF Undue
ing any OF the residents OF the Hol-
brook country to emigrate to Utah.
They will regret it to their dying
day unless they are particularly
impressed with the virtues and di-
vine origin OF the practice OF po-
lygamy.
Some of the historical statements
of the Book of Mormon may be in
teresting at this time. Here are
four which are as ridiculous as
they are impossible;
First, that the flood destroyed
all life in America, even to plant,
animal, fowl and fish. and that a
colony from Asia re-stocked it.
Second, after the animals had
grown numerous, that snakes
came and drove them down into
South America and stood guard on
the isthmus for three hundred and
fifty years. And that when the
snakes were destroyed the people
kept South America for hunting
ground, and North America for
farming and other purposes.

La Junta is proud of her schools
and the general sentiment seems to
be that there is no occasion for
making a change in their manage

desire to inaugurate new methods
and infuse new ideas into our
public schools have failed in their
attempts heretofore to secure an
endorsement of their plans, and
We believe will be equally unsuc-
cessful at the school election to be
held next Monday. A vote for r.

servative, harmonious and business
