LITTLE ON EARTH

King Of Oil Is Monarch Of Many
Another Huge Concern and
Has $500, 100000 Income.

New York Sun Special Service. r. f.
New York, Sept. 22.-The statement
securities outside of his STANDARD Oil
certificates is ridiculed by interests IA
miliar with his affairs. The fact that
Mr.. Rockefeller carries very few stocks
in his own name is about the only basis
for. the reports that his E. holdings are
now confined to Standard Oil, Sc
MI. Rockefeller has under lease one
of the largest compartments OF the
Standard Safe Deposit company. The
valuation of the securities in this COM
partment is large, altho it contains only
small percentage Of Mr.. Rockefeller IS
wealth. ..-. ....-,.---
Richest In All the World. ".
It is. declared that the valuation Of
the securities held by John D. Rockefel-
Ter is larger than those possessed by
any other Individual in the world. OF
late years Mr.. Rockefeller has been de-
voting little attention to business faf-
fairs. His vast security holdings are
virtually in the hands of his represen-
tatives. He is identified with only one
corporation, the Standard Oil company,
in an official capacity. If Z John D.
Rockefeller, Jr., regains his health it
is more than likely that he will repre-
sent his father on the directorates Of
many more companies than he does at
present.
N,s Income Over $100,OO0,O00.
John D. Rockefeller's income from
the Standard Oil company has exceed
ed $100,00O,OOO within the last eight
years, and his income from other cor
porations in which he is interested is
said to- be equally as large.
He has invested his income almost
as rapidly as he receives it, and has
elected business associates to represent
him on the board of concerns whenever
his holdings justified such action.

"a SECRET

One great secret of youth and beauty for
the young woman or the mother is the
proper understanding of her womanly sys-
tenn and well-belng. Every woman, Young
or old, should knoa0 herself and her phys
lcal make up. A good way to arrive at
this knowledge is to get a good doctor
book, such, for instance, as the rPeople's
Common Sense Medical Adviser, +" by r. v.
Pierce, M. D., which can readily be pro-
cured by sending twenty one cents in one
cent stamps for paper-bound volume, or
th1rty-on cents for cloth bound copy, ad-
dressing DIR. R. V. Pierce, at Buffalo, n. Y.
The change from maidenhood to woman
hood is one that involves the whole BODY.
The strain at this time upon the blood
forming structures may be too great Dis
orders of the functions peculiarly feminine
are nearly always dependent upon de-
fectlve nutrition. In all such cases DIR.
P1erce.s Favorite Prescription Is just the
vegetable tonic for the female system.
III cannot express my thanks for the benefit I
writes Mrs. Julius Wehrly, of Cambridge, Dor
chester Co., Md. wI took 'Favorite Prescyip-
ton and feel that a perfect cure has been
effected. | feel like thanking you for the kind
and fatherly letters which you wrote.n
DIR. Pierce's Favorite Prescription was
the first exclusively woman's tonic on the
market. 1t has sold more largely in the
past third of a century than any other
medicine for women. Do not let the drug
g1st persuade you to try some compound
that has not had the test of so many years
success.
DR.. Pierce's Pleasant Pellets should be
used with "Favorite Prescription when
ever laxative is required.

A Psychic Poet in Gotham.

| One of the cutest "wrinkles" in Got
ham society is a young man, an apos.
tie OF the aesthetic aud the psychic,
who lectures in the drawing rooms of
cultured ladies. Formerly this pheno-
menon, it is stated, was a member of
the Bible class of Mr.. John d. Rocke
feller, Jr. He has given up the study
OF the Sculptures, it appears, to talk to
the fair sex on how to become asth stic
through abstinence from food and
drink. One may become soulful
in that way, too, for the gifted young
man attaches great Importance to
soul. Evidently he fills long-felt
want in society. According to certain
susceptible ladies who fell under his
spell he is ''sweet' and "beautiful, y
likewise kissable. I'D just like to kiss
him. was remark frequently made
while he was dallyirg with psycnics.
After he had finished his talk this is
what happened:
Then he came down off bis perch
and made rush for tho audience. He
wanted to see every one of them and
all at once. He shook hands and cares
singly wound his arms around their
waists, and patted them on the backs
and called them dear" flying from
this one to that like bee in a garden
OF flowers, lest one get away before he
had an opportunity to express himself.
Isn't he most wonderful creature
you ever metz" asked one.
This beautiful creature carries around
poems as we'll as psychics. He is no
laggard in love, afraid to speak
thoughts that breathe and burn. Here
is verse from his poem, 1.-The Kiss
which the fair sex considers simply
too cute for anything:
1 kissed you then with tongue on tongue
A kiss that stung,
That burned our lips, while Passion wrung
The plea it flung:
Come closer, Love-Love, Love-" Until
We felt the wild ecstatic thrill
OF Heavens rapture that can fill
All HelIs abyss
The Lovers Kiss.
Lord Byron was considered a pretty
'ood hand at writing erotic poetry.

intense than that passionate bard.

That's what a prominent
druggist said Of SCOTS
Emulsion a short time
ago. AS a rule we don't
use or refer to testimonials
in addressing the public,
but the above remark and
S i milar expressions are
made so often in Connec-
ton with SCOTS Emulsion
that they are worthy of
occasional note. From
infancy to old age SCOTS
Emulsion offers a reliable
means of remedying i'm
proper and weak develop
ment, restoring lost flesh
and vitality, and repairing
waste. The act ion of
Scott's Emulsion is no
more of a secret than the
composition of the Emul-
sion itself. What it does

ment-the kind of nourish-
ment that cannot be OBJ
