eral hundred representative men of
Cleveland called upon John D. Rookie
teller. at his home in Forest Hill. this
afternoon, and through Andrew Squire,
a prominent attorney, and L. E. Hol-
den, proprietor Of the Cleveland Plain
Dealer, expressed to Mr.. Rockefeller
their esteem for him as a citizen ana
as a great business man. The gather
ing included merchants, lawyers, cler-
gymen, educators and men in humber
walks of life.
After all the guests had been present
ed to Mr.. Rockefeller, Mr.. Squire made
an address to Mr.. Rockefeller giving
expression to words of eulogy and re-
gard for the man who he said had been
a resident of the city for fifty years.
Mr.. Squire asked it it was not a ques.
ton whether the men engaged in great
commercial enterprises were not more
entitled to monuments than to indls-
criminate condemnation. Mr.. Squire
said of the Standard Oil Company that
it's history taught a mighty lesson IN
quietly, tremendously, continuously de-
veloping it's great enterprises and SUP
plying it's products at reasonable
prices.
Mr.. Squire said that in the knowi-
edge of the laws of trade, in grasp
ing and in applying them, in creating
and building up of industries that are
far-reaching, il is doubtful if the world
has ever produced a greater man than
Mr.. Rockefeller.

HomA.


When John Howard Payne wrote
Home, Sweet Home" he had in mind
that place Of habitation for which the
human heart yearns when temporarily
torn from its home moorings. Home is
more than that-home in its highest
sense-although another poet has writ
ten, "'Tis home where'er the heart
isl When strangers form an &C.
Quaintance the first question is,
where do you liveY' or where do
you hail from?" or Where is your
homer" Whether the home dwelling
is cottage or mansion, is built Of
wood or of stone, does not signify in
answering that query. The important
thing in view is what are the surround
ings and who are the associates of the
new acquaintance.
People are "sized up," so to speak,
on the social and moral side, according
to the locality they call home. There
are ties about a dwelling, pleasant and
sacred memories, and yet a family
may move across the street or next
door, to another ward or to a neighbor-
ing farm, and still the members will
not feel that they have abandoned all
that the word home" implies. Neigh
bors, friends, playmates,. general every
day associates, help to make ties that
are sweet to remember and painful to
sever An American abroad calls
America home; a citizen Of the United
States visiting Canada or Mexico calls
the country across the line home. A
citizen of Missouri or of Kansas tour
ing in the coast or lake states speaks
Of all Missouri or Kansas as home,
and an up state or down state farmer
visiting another section looks upon his
particular county as his home. Hills
and rivers and plains and forests help
to make home agreeable, but the main
things that stamp individuality upon
ones dwelling place are the home peo-
pie and the institutions which they es-
tablish and support.
Looking at home in its broadest
sense, establishing home is an act of
patriotism, and devotion to home is
patriotism. The development Of the
home town or township or county is
a patriotic duty, and feeling of per-
sonal pride and interest in it's fortunes
is one of the strongest defenses against
a roaming disposition.
A humble cottage or even four walls
located in a community Of tried friends
and co-workers may inclose all that the
heart yearns for to feed the home in
stinct. 1t serves today as a refuge
from the storm Of life's battles and to-
morrow as a temple Of rejoicing over
life's victories. The dwelling is the
homes citadel. The outworks are
everything that constitutes the COM
munity's strength. So long as the
citadel is guarded the home is safe,
but if the outworks are neglected the
home is in danger.
