vast sum has not been allowed to ac-
cumulate in vaults and strong boxes.
Practically every dollar of it has been
invested where il has earned other dol
lars. Many of them, directed by the
keen trading instinct of their owner,
have multiplied themselves threefold
within the past dozen years. One of the
advantages of aggregated wealth is that
it enables its possessor in times Of
panic or depression to purchase valuable
properties cheaply and by the simple
process of holding them until better
times to realize a multiplied return on
the investment.
Three-Fold Profit in Iron.
Mr.. Rockefeller has done this in many
instances. A notable case was that of
his iron ore properties. During the de-
preston of 1893 he bought. cheaply for
cash, THE ore lands of Lake Superior and
the Minnesota ranges. He improved the
mining equipment, built great docks and
invested in huge ore carriers on the
great lakes. When the era of high
prices came along on the prosperity
wave of 1900 and the United States Steel
corporation was organized Mr.. Rookie
| Teller sold out. The $25, 900, 900 which
MI. Rockefeller has in one form or an
other of steel holdings may be said to
represent almost entirely profits on his
investment of a dozen years ago. 1t is
understood that in addition to his inter.
ests in the United States Steel corpora.

FASHIONS.
What to Wear and What Not to Wear
During Period of Casting Aside
of Gay Apparel.

Young women in mourning do not
wear bonnets. Simple toques and tuT-
bans, and even wide hats, are perfectly
good form. Grape wells are worn for
deepest mourning. but net bordered
with Grape are less expensive and gen
orally more becoming. The face veil,
which is always worn. is OF plain Brus-
sells net, Grape bordered. No other face
veil is admissible on any terms.
In this country widows do not wear
caps. They are undeniably pretty and
piquant. but the meaning is rather OBJ
vious. Caps put one in mind of the
wigs of old-fashioned Jewesses, black
ened teeth of the Japanese and SCOT
painted faces of certain Indian women.
All of these are badges of immolation-
signs that the wearer has retired from
the world. American widows do not
immediate themselves. The suttee, ever
the emotional suttee, has gone out of
fashion.
The proper fur to wear with deep
mourning is Persian, astrakhan or any
Of the dead black furs. Sealskin is some
times worn, nor does it look at all out OF
place.-N. Y. Post.

eminent and municipal bonds it were
idle to speculate. His beneficent atten-
lions have been bestowed On other fields,
too, that are not included in any of the
above classifications, such as that of
the big insurance companies, steamship
and telegraph and building corporations
and other things, as the department
store advertisements say, too numerous
to mention.
Taking into account all these wide
spread interests, it is not difficult to
figure out that John D. Rockefeller is
already possessed of upward of $780,
900, 600, or that, with the power which
his vast wealth gives him of buying
cheaply when prices are at rock bot
tom and when financial stress compels
the holders of particular properties to
let them go, he will become a full
fledged Millionaire within another ten
years, if he lives so long. Indeed, the
accumulation of his yearly income of
$50. 900, 900, or thereabouts, will carry
him to that point without any allowance
for the appreciation of the properties in
which his money is invested such as is
certain to occur.

ing chronologically the growth of MIR.

as follows:

Two important items OF John d.
Rockefeller's fortune are frequently
overlooked in making computations of
his wealth. These are his holdings Of
real estate and mortgages and of gov
eminent and municipal bonds. Both are
so vast that if we undertook to follow
out the threads that lead to them they
would take us to every part of the Unit
ed States and acros the Atlantic.
While Mr.. Rockefeller's real estate
holdings would amount to probably
SO. 600. 900. such investment does moi
prove a very attractive venture for the
astute inancier. He prefers to let the
other fellow own the real estate and he
hold the mortgage. The city of Cleve-
land is an example of this. He owns
valuable property there-Forest Hills
and his Tarrytown IN. " estate is
truly baronial in it's magnificent proper
tions, but these are nothing in com
parison to his mortgage holdings. in
Cleveland he holds a S100, 600 mortgage

KEEPING GLOVES CLEAN.
The Well-Dressed Woman Is Very
Particular About the Care of These
Easily Soiled Articles.

If she finds a stain on her glove, she
cleans it Immediately with benzine, not
putting it away for the stain to become
set and immoyable. Gloves should
never be rolled nor folded, as either
treatment makes them look crumpled
and unattractive.
Gloves can be saved in many little
ways and their term OF usefulness pro-
longed. The handle of a chatelaine
bag will wear a glove white, so 1t
should be carried on the wrist, and the
tidy girl uses her handkerchief to save
her gloves, particularly when boarding
a car, carrying an umbrella or drinking
a glass of soda or hot chocolate at the
drug store.
In large cities dyers will clean gloves
in "a hours for ten cents a pair. The
tidy girl in the small town is often
compelled to clean her own gloves.
Here are several methods worth try
ing:
To clean gloves the first thing neces-
sary is to buy the best grade of gaso-
line and have a soft toothbrush and a
covered ironing board. Now pour some
of the gasoline into q bowl and then
wet the gloves thoroughly. You can
either put them on, leaning your hand
on the covered board, or if they do not
fit you, place them on the board. Then
take the toothbrush, dip it in the gas
| oline and rub the gloves until clean,
rubbing them with a piece of flannel or
bath towel until dry; after which hang
them in the sun or in a window where
the wind blows; in this way some OF
the odor will be removed.
A white glove should never be worn
more than nee without cleaning. II
it is cleaned promptly after each wear.
ing it can be used indefinitely, as the
spots do not become set.
The tidy girl always washes her OWL
silk and lace gloves in summer ant
takes particular pride in her washable
white kids. These gloves are bot
practical and economical, and may b
worn for a considerable length of tim
with careful handling in their launder
ing. If care is not exercised, however
they will shrink and thicken up so a
to become quite useless. They shout
be washed on the hands, in tepid wa
ter, and afterward rinsed in severa
clear tepid waters while still on tn
hand. Do not pass the soap through tn
Lands, but always use studded watel
A drop or two of ammonia in the ser
ond and last rinsing waters will pre-
vent the gloves from becoming yellow
These washable gloves should be a
lowed to dry on the hands; if remove
while only partly dry they will stretc
out of s~hape.-Washington Star.

WORTH KNOWING.

II you wash black stockings in a
a lather of soap and water-no So

rinsing water, they will keep a good
color until worn out.
Ink spots on mahogany may be re.
moved by touching with a feather
dipped in oil of vitriol diluted with
twice its quantity of water. The spot
should be we'll and quickly rubbed.
A good way to clean zinc is to dip
a piece of cotton in kerosene and to rub
the article to be cleaned with it untli
all dirt is removed; well rinse with
hot water afterward and dry with a
clean cloth.
When the painted woods of the in
terror of the house are soiled or spotted

will cost only a few cents. Dip a piece
of flannel into warm water, squeeze
nearly dry and dip it into the whiting,

pear and the paint will look like new,

The Government to Use Its Probe.
The most important of all develop
ments in this fight has been the action
of congress in ordering the department
of commerce and labor to begin in
vestigation of the business of the
Standard Oil company, and as an evil
dence of the thoroughness with which
the work will be done, the note Of
President Roosevelt to Mr.. James R.
Garfield may be quoted. 1t is terse, and
businesslike: Act vigorously on the
resolution at once" And If the way
in which Mr.. Garfield's department
has handled the beef trust investiga-
ton, and brought matters and condi-
lions before the interstate commerce
commission, which promise i'll for the
beef trust, is any indication of the
spirit and thoroughness with which
the investigation of the Standard Oil
business will be conducted, Mr.. Rookie

been taken before the courts. The
legislature of New York delved into

with the industrial commission. But
the most severe shaking up it has re-
ceived in it's history was that given it
by Monnett, and though it was a Bit
ter pill for the Standard to swallow,
it had the grim satisfaction at the next
election of defeating Monnettfor reelec-
ton as attorney general, and forcing
him into private life.
Monnett is as familiar with the
Standard Oil business as anyone out
side of the company itself, and Kan
sas has turned to the one man who
has given Standard a black eye.
The Ohio man is now at Topeka and
will aid in the fight. He will assist
the Kansas Oil Producers association
in preparing data to be submitted to
Commissioner Garfield.
Lawson, eager to get into the fight.
has sent word that to help the lnvesti-
gators he will go to Washington bare
foot in the snow, if necessary.
At New York, District Attorney
Jerome is preparing to bring proceed
ings against the directors Of the
Standard in an effort to indict them
for conspiracy as defined in section
1853 Of the penal code.
Secretary Hitchcock, head of the in
terror department, and ex-secretary
Hoke Smith are being drawn into the
fight, too, through the blanket case OF
100000 acres of oil lands in Indian
territory granted to the Standard for
ten years by Smith in 1896. Mr.,
Hitchcock says this deal is a public
scandal, and Mr.. Smith replies that
the field had not been tested and that
there was little hope of finding oil,
But the upshot of it all may be that
the Standard may lose part or all Of
its valuable Usage leases.
Even Paul Morton may not escape
the investigation of Standard Oil
methods in Kansas. Charges have
been filed against the Atchison, To

alleging that this company, by raising
rates until they were %prohibitive. as
