THE coRNFED PHILOSOPHER.

[Council Bluffs Nonpareill
l talked awhile with the Cornfel
Philosopher the other day We talked
of damnation and personal devils and
such things and this naturally led up to
the subject of John u. Rockefeller. II
wonder why Rockefeller has gone out
of his way to corner a commodity like
asbestos" l remarked.
"Lem'me see" said the philosopher
musingly. "Rockyfeller's got all the
Kerosene in tn world an he's got all
tn asbestos in tn world. Nd he's got
purity nigh cinch on all tn coal an
what's this ! hear bout his gettn' in
tew tn ice trust tew? Seems 'zif he
wuz purity well divided up tween cum
bustybles and -cumbustybles.''
My theory" continued the old mar
lis tibet ROCKEFELLER is a goin tew git
all tn Kerosene an coal in his con-
troll where tn devil can't get at it. An
he is goin' to git all tn ice an ashes
tos in his control where he can git Il
himself mighty handy. An then he is
goin' tew die am go tew He'll an defy
tn devil to do his wust."
And the philosopher seemed so pleas
ed over the explanation that l had to
agree with him for harmony's sake.

He usually has one in his mouth when
he is not in the senate chamber. and

senator, plaintively.

He opened drawer in his desk and

So great is the change in conditions
that the largest operators. the men
who numbered their herds by the

is the man who will lease and fence
