it. How he got it is a story that
everybody knows and which it is
not necessary here to repeat.

ing that Rockefeller sacrificed
everything and everybody for
money. If ever a wOrshipper
was true to his idol, this man
was true. In an age of material
ism it was inevitable that some
man should loom above all others
as the most successful" and
John D. Rockefeller happens to
be that unfortunate. Circum-
stances and his own mental and
moral equipment combined to
facilitate his efforts to outstrip
al; competitors. In his prime
his mind was a remorseless ma
chine, perfect In operation,
working ceaselessly in a single
groove. and turning neither to
the right nor the left. He had
nothing but contempt for the hui
man element-the sympathetic
word, the impulse of generosity
or forgiveness, the bond of
friendship. These things tend
ed to interrupt the workings of
the moneymaking machine, and
he ruthlessly thrust them from
him.
Now John d. Rockefeller is
old-"the oldest man in the
world" says Miss Tarbell. He
the richest, and therefore, the
most successful" man in the
world. But time wears upon
Rockefeller, as upon weaker
men, and a curious change is
noted in his temperament. In.
stead of being impervious to
criticism. he has become acutely
sensitive to it and spends much
of his time reading the food of
abuse that has appeared recently
concerning him. This gall and

Express Shipments.

etables went out by express this
morning to various parts of the
country 155 boxes of English
peas, two barrels lettuce; four bar
rels beets; four boxes of Irish pota-
toes. This shipment of potatoes
is the first that has gone out from
this section. Several acres have
been planted in this vicinity
and regular shipments will 10
doubt commence soon. The man
who asks what a railroad does for
a town finds one answer in these
shipments. Before the raiload came
to Brownsville no truck was raised
beyond what could be consumed
in the home market. Now all
kinds of early truck can be rushed
to market and commands good
prices. These shipments bring
cash 10 this section, every laborer
receives portion, he in turn dis
burses it to the butcher, the baker,
the merchant, and all avenues of
trade IS stimulated and the man
who don't get his share of the in
creased circulating medium doubt
less does not deserve it. English
peas shipped brought as high as
S1.75 per box, a later quotation be-
ing $3.50 per box. No one need
take the trouble to ask what.a rail
road does for a country. A. little
common sense figuring will answer
the question satisfactorily TO any
man not blinded by prejudice.
