 MT. Rockefeller is a busy man. The overflow of his fathers business would drive an ordinary man to death. The junior member keeps up with it and knows what the elder is doing.
 He makes long trips at times to in- spect property in which his father and he talk of investing. He watches the stock market. He receives, by appoint ment, representatives of institutions, weeded out by secretaries from a pro- digiOus mail, to let them say their say or their opportunities to use money for good. He takes half an hour for lunch, has a good appetite. He works late for a Wall street man. He is not detained at the office by pressing business.

 His first appearance in business was his election to the board of directors of the Lackawanna railroad. Now he is a director in many enterprises, not all of them as representative of his father, but in many on his own hook.-Brook- lyn Eagle.

The white and gold furniture is upholstered in pink silk. The dining room, back of this, is an English quartered oak with a painted ceiling. The boudoir above the parlor is in delicate tints.
 The mistress of the house is a daugh- ter of Senator Aldrich of Rhode Island -Abbie Green Aldrich she was. She is a year younger than her husband, and is like him in many ways. She is not fond of society, although she has seen quite a good deal of it in Providence and Washington. She is serious minded" too. She loves books and takes deep interest in philanthropy and religious activities.

HIS FIRST VISIT TO MOUNT
 VERNON.

Sixty odd years ago ex-Representa tive Galusha A. Grow, then a young man walked twenty miles in one day to see Washington's tomb. He could easily repeat the performance at the age of 30, but he will be carried to the nations's shrine next week on an elec- tric train.
 The story of how he made the trip to Mount Vernon over a half century ago would fill the heart of young America to-day with enthusiasm. When MT. Grow was a boy, it was one of the am- bitions of his life to see this historic place At that time his brother was en- gagged in shipping lumber down to Baltimore. It was part of young Grows duties to raft logs down the Susque- hanna river to the Chesaoeake bay. While on one of these trips the notion struck him to make the trip of his life So he took boat at Baltimore and went down the Chesapeake Bay and up the Potomac River to Washington. Thence he took steamer to Alexandria, Va, the nearest post to Mount Vernon.
 When he reached Alexandria he put up at one of the hotels for the night The guests of the hotel were much amused when young Grow informed them of his intention to go over to Mount Vernon on foot. Distance did not cut any figure with the young man, so he started bright and early the next morning to Washington's old home, It was ten miles from Alexan- dria to Mount Vernon and he made the round trip in one day covering twenty miles of ground and following the road travelled by Washington when he at tended church at Alexandria MT. Grow enjoys the recollections of that walk and expects to revive the senti- ments of two generations ago when he revisits Washingtons tomb next week. Washington Letter to Philadelphia Press.

The good roads question is likely to
be brought home to some section OF
the country is a practical manner.
Hhe Post Office Department has been
deluged with complaints from rural
carriers about the roads on the routes:
many during the wet season are inn
passable or nearly so 1t has always
been the Governments pol cy to with
hold or abolish any delivery in towns
which let their sidewalks fall into de-
cay. 1t is now proposed to apply the
same principle to rural delivery and
to refuse to establi b or abolish routes
along roads which are not kept up
Such policy will certainly have sa-
lutary effect. Where rural delivery
has been been tried its beneficiaries
will not readily dispense with it, even
at the expenditure of considera BILE
time and labor. Then any intelligent
work on the road rebounds TO the
farmers own benefit.
