John ID. Rockefeller has been

King for being a theft, whose
yellow gold is so tainted that it
must perish with him SO that il

honest commerce, even tho it be
purified and blessed by priests in
spotless robes and uplifted faces
on the altar of the lord. The fol-
lowing oriental tale shows that
history repeats itself, and advise
old John d. to try it on his holier-
than-thou accusers. The story
goes:
Once upon time, in Hindustan

save his throttle from the rome.
Tho now the day was drawing
nigh when he by law was doomed
to die, he bade the the 1ailer tell
the king he fain would show a
wondrous thing; precious secret
fairly worth the ear of any prince
on earth. And so the culprit be-
ing led into his royal presence,
said:
This coin of gold, which now
you see, if planted, would become
a tree whose fruit increa sed a
thousand fold, would be like this
the purest gold. And so / pray
that you will try if this be true
before l die"
With this, the long and court
'ers went into the garden intent to
plant the curious coin of gold.
But now, when all was ready

with embarrassed hesitation:

of life. To that generation thought,
character and business would have been
impossible. To know the day of ones
death, would unfit men for his common
duties. To know the end of the world
beforehand would tend to confusion and
insanity, and to the stoppage and the
paralysis of the common life. This
was the case all over Europe in the
tenth century. And it was also the eX-

movement that collapsed in lS43. A
