achieve his bad eminence In piracy.
He was born into corruption, and, like
the larvae Of certain insects, he found
II uniquely adapted TO his nature, and
throve in Il. Not one Of his schemes
could have been manned or executed
in a community with sound moral
ideals. All Of them must have failed
in country where adequate laws were
faithfully enforced Mr.. Rockefeller
found the law neither adequate 70
cover the conditions Of modern COM
merce, nor enforced when its anti.
quated rules did apply. For every
principle Of law he found a method
Of evasion with as good, or better,
standing in the courts He has used
the law as an apparatus for plumber;
but he found law and lawyers ready
TO his hand. He created neither Of
them. Nor has he ever failed to find
plenty Of helpers in all his predatory
undertakings.
With the soul Of a miser and the
intellect Of a Bacon, Mr.. Rockefeller
was born at a time when lax morals
and inadequate laws invited avarice
to plumber. He accepted the invita-
tion with determined zeal, and for
many years he spent all his energy in
devouring his abundant and easy prey.
A student of the evolution Of Mr..
Rockefeller would naturally call this
the larvea or grub, period Of his life.
The student would also expect TO see
him emerge from this lowly estate,
as the grubs do, and soar above the
earth as a winged creature. Mr.. Rock
efeller, and all his genus, try very
hard TO complete their evolution and
show themselves as something Of a
finer nature than mere devourers. No
one enjoys the hatred Of his kind. In
these men the hunger for appreciation
even overcomes their avarice, and,
without forsakingtheir evil ways, they
pay enormous sums TO buy the praise,
or, at least, the silence, Of those who
lead public opinion. They find both
the praise and silence for sale, but
they find also that in this matter pub
lie opinion will not be led. IL moves
more and more strongly toward con.
iemnation and begins TO repudiate
The leaders who would, as he thinks,
nislead. These criminals, who have
so long defed the Lave and despised
the rules Of manly fair dealing, and
who now wish TO pose as philanthro-
pists and benefactors Of humanity, |
hear nothing from the great public
but snesrs and satire. They may ulti.
nately hear something worse, for the
American people are growing impa-
iient Of hypocrisy. But, whatever
may befall, they are entitled to plead
hat the nation which now condemns
hem tempted them to commit their
nisdeeds by its own inadequate laws,
plant judiciary and lax morals.

GETTING AWAY FROM
THE COUNTER

The quickest way to get away from
the counter is to work hard, be polite
and ObloinS at the counter. The
trouble with people who complain that
they cannot get above the positions
they are in is that they can not see
that the step to the thing above them
is in the thing they are doing, in their
manner of doing it, that the opportun-
ity for advancement is in the prompt
ness, the thoroushness, efficiency they
show in the positions they now occu-
py.
OF two clerks working side by side
in store, one knows that the best
part of his salary is not found in his
pay envelope, but in the opportunity
to learn the business. to extract from
it the secrets which his employer
may have paid fortune for, besides
putting his life into it. He is all
eyes. all ears, all the time thinking
doing things, and he finally becomes
a proprietor himself. The other sees
nothing in his work but drudgery and
perpetual clerkship.
If you have a hundred acres of land
and only four people to support. as
one correspondent states that he has.
if you have enough brain, ambition
determination, and grit, you can not
only support the people depending up
on YOU, but you can also give yourself
a good education-for you can buy all
the books you need-and if you are
good manager, if you have system,
you can have all the leisure you re-
quire for study.
If you are made of the stuff that
wins, nobody can keep you back, for
il you do not find your chance where
: you are, you will find it somewhere
else But remember that your achieve
ment can not rise higher than your
resolution. So long as you think you
are so tied down that you can not
move, you will ever get up or get
on.
The man who acknowledges that
he is 'perpotual clerk will ~""e,
become manager or proprietor of any
thing until he changes his conviction.
His own lack of confidence and push,
not circumstances, is the chain which
binds him.
II is as natural that We shcr'd ~
tain the thing we long for with al
our hearts. and persistently '"Nr'7 'o

only child. little girl. She had nc
money to give the child decent Sc
pulchre. She went to the poor com
missioner. And this is the sequel:
Mrs. Wiedig staggered up the path
in the cemetery which led to the plot
of ground where her husband was
buried. bearing the little coffin which
held the body of her little one. She
took a spade she had put there the
day before and began to dig. Poor
woman she was digging the grave Of
her only child-the last sweet tie that
had held her to earth.
And as she worked she sobbed and
I cried She called on the dead man
under the ground to help her bear
her sorrow till she could come to
him.
A man who passed through the Gem
etery heard the crying and went to
the spot where the frail woman bent
to her awful task.
She explained why she was digging
the grave herself. She had no money
to pay the sexton. s.They would have
buried her for me for nothing if |
had let them put her grave over there
in the potter's field But she was such
little child so little, and some
times when I was obliged to leave her
alone she was afraid of the dark. I
wanted her to lie by her fathers side
so she would not be afraid. told the
poor commissioner how I felt and he
gave me this coffin. The woman who

next Sunday to plant some vines
And the aeonized mother talked on

The man had heart. He hurried
to the sexton and gave him none,
to dig the child's grave and money tt
round the little mound and plan
some simple flowers. And the woman
cried. but this time the tears wer,

The following letter is only one of

beyond question that Lydia e. Pink

remedy of great merit, otherwise it
