Times Had Changed.

Years ago John p. Rockefeller was q
poor clerk in Cleveland. drawing a SALARY
of $40 month. He had an ailment which
required simple and harmless surgical
operation. He went to a surgeon of high
repute in Cleveland and arranged to pay
so much i month. The surgeon was will
ing. and it took Rockefeller about year
to pay the bill Of $40 without interest
Not so very long ago Mr.. Rockefeller
sent for the same physician. now an old
man. and entertained him at his Tarry
Forest home. The magnate wanted an
other consultation regarding the old COM
plant, and chose 10 send for the surgeon
of his youth. They talked it over, and
then Rockefeller asked for the bill. re-
marking:
II went keep you waiting as I did years
ago Things have changed since then"
"Oh, am out OF practice; wish no fee,
Mr.. Rockefeller. That is all right Don't
mention it.
Rockefeller opened a drawer at his desk
disclosing a few pounds OF new green
backs. Putting a few bills into an en-
velope he handed it to the surgeon, say
ing:
well, il you do not want to take fec,
give this to some poor young doctor OF
your acquaintance"
There was $500 in the envelope, and
after arriving home the cid surgeon did
not think OF any young doctor to whom
he could give the money. and kept it,

to live among them. She had written an
article for one of the reviews on the
japanese in England. 1t had excited con-
siderable interest. and several letters OF
enquiry came to the author. one Of them
being from a certain Samuel westcott, an
American, who was fitting himself to be

others; a brisk correspondence ensue1,
resulting presently in mutual condolences,
and eventually in an engagement: to be

And when he was introduced to the

cousin. he wondered how he could ever
have thought her letters bright.
