Mr.. Rockefeller thinks the world of
his class. He devotes all his leisure
time to it, often spending two or three
evenings week in preparing his Sun
day address. There is no doubt that
Il Mr.. Rockefeller had not been born
with Il silver spoon in his mouth he
would have been the leader of a Bible
class nevertheless. The trend of his
life is religious and he finds pleasure
ir instilling religious principles into
others. Even in his correspondence
there creeps in some religious phrase
o. sentiment here and there. There is no
suggestion of insincerity in his make
up, for he abhors all sham and hypoc-
risy; nor is there any ground for the
belief that he is endeavoring to make
atonement for the alleged business
methods of his father. on the contra

a father than young Mr.. Rockefeller
has for his famous parent. 1t amounts
almost to worship--a touching, tender

Rockefeller's Indifference toward them
was concerned. He is a keen observer
OF human nature and he soon discov-
ers whether a man comes to his class
for spiritual comfort or for selfish pur-
poses only. There are many who at
tend the class for no other purpose
than to get in close contact with the
son of the richest man in this coun-
try. and feel that when they enter the
church they are at the same time en-
tering into the membership of the
Standard Oil.
Mr.. Rockefeller is running a Bible
class and not an institution for the
dissemination of Wall street tips or
an employment bureau for the Stand
ard Oil corporation. Mr.. Rockefeller
has no use for those men who come to
his class solely for personal material
gain. But to those whom he. knows
are sincere he never hesitates to give
his sympathy and assistance in quiet
unostentatious manner. In fact, it is
said when he does give help to any
one 1t is done in such a way as to pre-
Los Angeles herald., 1905-06-11


early part of 1900, when the class had
no leader, Mr. Rockefeller was asked
to lead the class for a Sunday. He ac-
cepted and did so we'll that he was
asked to lead the class for the remain
der of the season. He hesitated for
long while, consulting his parents and
DR.. Faunce, his pastor, before being
willing to assume what he considered
great responsibility. for many of the
men in the class were older and of
more experience in life than himself.
He realized fully that it would re-
quire careful preparation, accompanied
by great deal of tact, to do justice
to himself and the remainder of the
class. He finally accepted the tempo
rary leadership and did so well that he
afterward became the permanent lead
er. Directly after he took charge the
average membership increased to 1872
and the membership to nearly 300. Aside
from the magic of his name Mr.. Rookie
feller was especially fitted for the posi-
ton. Reared in a Christian home,
under strict religious instruction, man
of good attainments and refinement, of
singularly clean and temperate habits,
Mr.. Rockefeller made an ideal leader
Deprecates Notorety
The notoriety that accompanied the
position annoyed him greatly at first,
and he made strong efforts for time
10 exclude all reporters from the class
sessions, claiming that he was being
misrepresented and misquoted. Event
ually, however, he saw it was useless
to exclude the press and at present
several reporters are members of the
class.
Since his active work in the class
Mr.. Rockefeller has been the target
for all kinds of criticism, enough to
discourage saint. But all the slurs
that have been hurled at him he has
disregarded. Once his mind is made
up Mr.. Rockefeller is immovabe in
his purpose and aims. Much unfa-
Vorable criticism came from members
of his class, men with whom he was
touching elbows and only recently
anonymous letters were sent to the
papers claiming that Mr.. Rockefeller
as a leader was a farce. 1t was
said he extended no material help to
the members; that he left his religion
behind him when the class session was
over; that personal appeals to him for
assistance were met with rebuffs and
curt answers, and that when he met
members of the class in the street he
passed them by without any sign of
recognition.

Principles the Days Making

From the London Mail.
1t has been said that wheels as a
means of overcoming friction when
moving weight and bulk about have
not changed since the times of the
Pharaohs. The remark is true to this
extent, that the motor car wheel con-
sists primarily of a nave, some spokes,
the felloe and the rim, even as did the
chariots of The ancients. Yet 1t is not
for the want of not trying to get away
from these principles that wheel
wrights have been fain to stick to
them, as may be gathered from the
fact that over a hundred patents are
being applied for annually for devices
aiming at Improvement on present day
practice in the craft.
Los Angeles herald., 1905-06-11

Investigation reveals that Of these
quite so per cent are frankly impos-
sible, while another 30 per cent are
merely by way of being more or less
ingenious variants of existing patents
ON which the applicant is desirous
OF avoiding the payment of royalties.
Thus it will be found that a score of
practical and desirable improvements
is handsome estimate for any one
years production.
Before reviewing achievements to
date 1t will be convenient to define the
precise requirements of the ideal wheel
for motor vehicles. Briefly the device
must be extraordinarily strong for it's
resiliency, both these qualities
being imperative owing to the compar-
atively fast speeds at which these We

,
gray eyes have a kindly light, and his
thin long lips that set so compactiy
over determined mouth are on these
social occasions softened into a per-
petual smile.
John d. Rockefeller, jr., standing
beside his father, makes quite con-
trast. The TALL strong frame of the
older man seems still to have more
strength and enduring power than the
slim figure of the son. But mentally he
is a replica of his father, and the
thoughts, ideas and aims of the father
are also embodied in the son.
The young man believes that charac-
ter friends, health and success are the
four things to strive for in life. To
him character is everything, and in his
business office he chooses as his as
sistants and clerks men of character
rather than of ability. Friends come
next, but, as he himself said at the an
nual dinner of the class, no one needs
friends more than he. What he meant
by that remark was that men of wealth
like him had really few true friends
friends for friendships sake alone, not
so-called friends attracted by their
money. Rich men, as rule, have
hosts of friends, but 1t is not always
sincere attachment, for, after all,
wealth is very much like the flower
that attracts the bee, who seeks it only
for the sweetness he can extract
from it.
Health he places third, and from all
indications Mr.. Rockefeller will here
after place it first, having said that he
has learned lesson in trying to do
too much. when have regained my
health" he said, II will know how to
take care of it in future"
Success he believes the last thing to
strive for, and without the foundation
of character, the love of friends and
the joy of good health. success is of no
value.
For the requirement of these four
things he considers religion absolutely
essential. In fact, he does not believe
that they can be acquired without 1t.
Like his father he believes that re-
ligion is the only lever that can ever
uplift mankind, and that without re-
ligion wealth and success are worth
less.
Henceforth the young man will de-
vote his entire time to the restoration
of his health and strength. He will
play golf, drive and indulge in other
outdoor exercise, paying absolutely ro
attention to business and abandoning
even his religious work, which he loves
so well. Every one who knows him
hopes that his illness may prove only
temporary and that he viii soon be
able to resume his duties.

hicles travel. Further. the speed calls
for type of wheel that shall be proof
against any amount of side strain,
Lastly, the wheel should absorb the
greatest possible amount of road shock
without transferring it to the vehicle
in jarring fashion, yet it must Mt no
time perform the function that falls
properly to the springs, though acting
as harmonious portion of them. In
a word, the wheel should be reason
ably rigid production.
Dealing first with the matter of side
strain, it will be found that this occurs
on other occasions than when turning
corners, as instance the motor omni-
bus, which must keep as much as pos
sible to the side of the road for the
purpose of taking up and putting down
Los Angeles herald., 1905-06-11

passengers; hence the Gambler of the
road prevents the extremes of the
axles being kept on a plane. Today
we hear much about new staggered
spoke wheels to meet these require
ments; yet their novelty consists in
nothing save that they are variants Of
the old type of farm wheels in which
the spokes were staggered from the
nave to prevent their swapping off
there when subjected to the severe side
strains occasioned by negotiating deep
ruts and so forth. 1t is likely that
this idea viii be exploited to very
considerable extent i'm the near future,
especially for motor omnibuses.
Wheels may be divided into two
classes for the purpose of this article
namely. those made either wholly or

as regards their chief features of metal
and those built of wood. OF the first
kind, an all metal Wheel as used ON a
Thornycroft wagon, embodies the no.
ton of the staggered spoke; but it will
be noticed that the particular require
ments necessitate the spokes being
staggered at the felloe end as well as
at the nave. In other words, there is a
point about half way between the CEN
ter and the circumference where a sort
Of crossing is effected, as occurs when
locking the extended fingers of one
hand in those of the other. This re-
suits. among other things, in imparting
a certain quality of internal resiliency,
though not sufficient, of course, to make
that type Of wheel suitable for fast
pleasure cars.

and could ruin thousands by increasing
lutely controls.
But there is no danger Of Mr.. Rookie
feller ever doing any of these things,
no matter how great his power. His is
nature as sympathetic and gentle as
woman's, and man who spends all
his leisure time in religious work, in
preaching and talking to men of all
classes and conditions, has not in him
the brutal characteristics of tyrant.
In spite Of all his wealth, there is Moth
ing of the fashionable type in Mr..
Rockefeller's makeup, and no likeli-
hood that there ever will be. He is as
simple in his tastes, habits and desires
as the most conscientious disciple of
Pastor Wagner, and, in fact, what the
Rev. Mr.. Wagner is preaching has long
been practiced by the members of the
Rockefeller family.
Devotion to Religious Work
One of the main causes of Mr.. Rookie
fellers ill health was his assiduous
devotion to religious work. His Bible
class is everything to him, and he
takes great pride in it. Three evenings
of the week were always set apart
by him either for preparation of his
Sunday address to the class or cor
respondence and consultation with it's
members
Every rich man has some fad or
hobby, and there are some who say
that religion is Mr.. Rockefellers hobby.
Those who have come in contact with
Mr.. Rockefeller in his class do not,
however, question his sincerity.
Mr.. Rockefeller has not long been
ally supposed. In fact, the organiza-
tion had very small and obscure be-
ginning a little more than ten years
ago. The class was originally organ
lied by seven young men, j. M. Troxell,
Robert A. Shaw, George F. Tafel, DR..
f.. M. Foote, e. B. Hamilton, DR.. T. S.
Southworth and j. S. Mason. DR.. w.
f.. p. Faunce, now president of Brown
university, and Charles A. Hughes, who
was counsel for the gas investigating
committee, were among those instru-
mental in starting it.
During the last two years of Mr.
Hughes leadership a young man be-
came a member of the class who at
first created no comment. This young
man had formerly been connected with
a Sunday school class which his mother
had taught, and now, at the close or
his course at the Brown university,
was about to take up his residence in
New York. Having outgrown his
mothers Sunday school class he be-
came affiliated with the young mems
Bible class of the Fifth Avenue Baptist
church. Although at first a total
stranger to all the young men, his
charming manner and kindly ways soon
won their friendship. He took a great
interest in the discussions in the class,
expressing his personal views and opin-
ions in frank, open way.
During the latter part of 1899 and
Los Angeles herald., 1905-06-11

affection, an apotheosis Of filial love
seldom witnessed.
Dropping in one morning at the class
just as Mr.. Rockefeller was addressing
the young men, the old gentleman
turned to a bystander and said: 81
would rather see my son doing this
than see him monarch sitting on his
throne"
Mr.. Rockefeller, sr., comes often to
the club meetings of the class, and at
the request of his son has several times
made addresses to the young men. Only
few months ago he was present, with
Mrs. Rockefeller and his daughter,
Mrs. Parmelee Prentice, at a social
tea. at which he served the sandwiches
and delighted the young men with hui
morous stories.
His Charm of Manner
1t is on such occasions as these that
Mr.. Rockefeller is seen at his best. His
geniality and suavity, his infectious
smile and benevolent eye make him the
center of an admiring group. His sof-

CHICAGO GRAIN MARKET.

CHICAGO, November 2j.-Increased re-
cepts of wheat III the northwest caused
an easier undertone today in the market
here At the close wheat for May delivery
was off Is. Corn was down Aaasc. Oats
showed a loss Of Is. Provisions were a
shade to ~ higher.
The wheat market opened at a slight de-
cline, the May option being off Is to 14ass,
at S624 to S67saS7. Pit traders and commits
sion houses were moderate sellers. Bear
ish sentiment was chiefly to the liberal
movement of new wheat in the northwest,
supplemented by clear weather in that sec
ton of the country.
The large deliveries at Minneapolis and
Duluth caused a considerable decline in the
price Of wheat on the curb at Minneapolis
and this decline in turn had a tendency
to depress prices here. News regarding
the wheat crop of Argentina was conflict
ing.
Advices received early in the day were
to the effect that estimates on the crop
were being greatly reduced. These reports
brought out a fair demand, resulting in a
slight rally, sales of May being made at
s71s. Later message from Buenos Ayres
received by q Minneapolis trade journal
stated that the damage by frost was slight
and that it would have no perceptible erect
on the wheat crop. This view of the stua-
ton in the South American republic prac-
tically dispelled all bullish sentiment, and
caused a recurrence of the early weakness.
Large primary receipts were an additional
bearish influence. affecting the market late
in the session.
During the day the price of May declined
to S61h The close was easy, with May at
S6sa&. Clearance of wheat and flour were
equal to 100 600 bushels. Primary receipts
were / 467 900 bushels, against 1,07S,O00 one
year ago.
Minneapolis, Duluth and Chicago reported
receipts of 1o45 cars against $40 cars last
week and 740 cars one year ago.
The corn market was weak throughout the
day and the volume of trading was small
Clear weather throughout the central west
caused selling by pit traders. which result
ed in a moderate decline. Export demand
was slack, and there were indications point
ing to an increased movement. May open
ell IA to kak lower at 437saA, sold off to
49,, and closed at 431sa9s. Local receipts
were PAT cars, with seven of contract grade
The dizziness in the wheat and corn pits
was also in evidence in the oats market.

MANCHESTER CLOTH MARKET.

MANCHESTER. England, November %
The cloth market was unsettled during the
week. Owing to the fluctuations of cotton
1t was difficult to fix quotations. Export
ers showed no inclination to buy freely for
the eastern market. Manufacturers still
hold strong position and refuse to make
concessions.
The business for the week for India was
confined to low shiTtings. but the buyers
are said to be watching the market closely.
Business for China was inactive, but the
nearer eastern markets. which are not
overburdened with stocks. are occasionally
anxious to conclude sales for early delivery
