While in Seattle he clambered into q

the Operator In conversation.
How many pairs of boots do you black

"Oh. twenty or thirty

When the Rockefeller party started from
Wawona for picnic among the huge trees
of California, Lieut.. McMaster or the
United states army, who could not ac-
company them himself sent his guide, a
Pole. To this man the millionaire took
great liking.
AS for the guide, Lieut.. McMaster wrote
afterward that Mr. Rockefeller had com
pletely hypnouzed" him. This hypnotic
ing had been accomplished by the million
aire in a most unscientihc manner lie
won the Poles heart completely by dis
cussng with him at great length the best
methods Of farming and stock-raising, and
had finally advised that the Pole devote
his entire time to raising hogs. Nothing
on earth could now induce the roe 70 go
into any other pursuit,
Another stock-raiser too, gained the In
terest of the great millionaire. This was
a man whom he met az one OF the forts,
who had just pald freight bin of s2i6 10
take three cows to Alaska, VIE. -
could sell milk for 81 a gallon. This
enterprising genius was man atter
Rockefelcrs own heart.
1t was curious during the trip to watch
the efforts of the reporters to interview
the famous traveller one good. looking
young fellow, more enterprising than most
of the others, finally got "close" 10 his
quarry, and with a polite bow asked;
Mr. Rockefeller, may | interview your
yes If you viii deal fairly with me-
was the CHEEKY reply
When the young man rose to go some 1T
tile time later he said, laughingly:
Il forgot to say, Mr.. Rockefeller, that /
think It is you who have interviewed
me-"
No doubt many OF the persons who met
the Rockefeller party during the trip wei e
struck by the perfect unders anding and
good fellowship existing between The mem
bers Of the family. This is Characteristic.
Mr. Rockefeller almost invariably coun-
sells with his wife in regard TO all ques-
lions which concern him, and u would
doubtless surprise many shrewd Ananciefs
to learn that many deal which has at
once caused admiration and conformation

Mr. and Mrs. Rockefeller have the good
old fashioned way Of addressing each 9TH
or as papa" and mama and during
their Journey they furnished a fine Illus
traton Of complete domestic happiness to
those VINO were fortunate to meet them
and to be with Them. They both relish a
good story, and Mr. Rockefeller generally
had one that was apt. one OF these stories
and its quel were esp Gladly good. The
mi lonaiSc noticed that one OF his guests
was reading an Episcopal prayer book,
and turning 10 his wife. he said
MAMA / see Mr.. Blank is an Episcopal
tan"
"Yes2" replied Mrs. Rockefeller
"Yes" her husband went on, and that
reminds me OF story. A man was about
10 be hanged IN New York state. just as
the hood was being drawn over his face
the Episcopal clergyman, who was in at
tendance, inquired whether the condemned
had anything to say. The man looked at
him stoidly for moment and then said
IN see you later
The laugh was on the gentleman with
the prayer book but he got even.
It was the custom IN the Rockefeller
party for an those who remained TO Sc
verely catechise, upon his return, any
member who made a side excursion. When
