John H. Rockefeller, Jr.. was the prin-
cipal speaker ut the annual dinner OF the
Young Mems Bible class, Washington.
Mr.. Rockefeller, who has only been mar
ried Il few weeks, made so bold rs TO
talk of women and mothersin-law. He
was the last speaker, but he was loudly
applauded. Mr.. Rockefeller told this
mother-in-law story;
"A young man and his wife had lived
for years. and not always pleasantly,
with the w..e's mothcr. AT last the old
lady died-or. at least. they thought she
had died. The pallbcarers carried her
coffin down the fronts steps and one of
them slipped. The coffin struck a tree,
the lid came off, and then it was found
that the mothcr-in-law had not died at
all, but was only in trance.
well she lived for some years after
that. and then she died again-this time
permanently And as the pallbearers APP
preached that same tree at the foot of
the steps the young man stopped weep
ing, turned to the man who had slipped,
and whispered. BE careful, Sam; don't
slip this time.
