MEHITABEL' S.EYES1
ARE DIAMONDS

Mehitabel's eyes are diamonds
Mehitabefs teeth are pearls. There are
s.ints OF gold and treasure untold when
the zephyr caresses her curIs
tight" said Mehitabel
We stopped extemporizing.
a great big spider!'' she gasped:
right over there. Looking at me!
On Arthur
And the sun was on the meadow And
the shade was on the lea. And a little
bird was family heard as she mention
ed my name to me.
Ugh said Mehitabel
That was the second time.
You scrunched it," she shuddered;
Il heard it,
''Mehitabeln'
Twas June and day in the country
Behind US the pines ana the fir And
these trees gently stirred and the seen
cry blurred as l uttered her name to
he.
"Ugh." said Mehitabel.
That was the third time.
"A lady bug!" she shivered. "Oh,
Arthur! Brush it off. I'm afraid to
touch it,
We brushed it off. sitting a little
closer to do SO. A gentleman bug
presumably started to follow the lady
bug. We brushed him off, too, and sat
ready for all Corners
The mystical wind was calling. The
mystical grass replied. And mystical
bee buzzed out his glee as 1 sat by
Mehitabeis side-by my darling Mehft-
abels side.
'Ugh!" said Mehitabel.
That was the fourth time.
Look at that horrid Albright on my
hand"'
We sent the ant about it's business
And as preventive against the further
depreciation of ants, we held Mehita-
/ bells hand within our own.
The earth smiled up at the glowing
sun. And the sun beamed down on
the land. And a lamb said Bal and
skipped to it's ma as I held my Mehi-
tabel's hand -Mehitabers wee little
| hand.
"Ugh!' said Mehitabel
That was the fifth time.
Here's a horrible green caterpillar
on my belt she softly screamed
It required courage, but we removed
Mr.. Caterpillar with twig.
I'D be SO afraid if 1 was alone,''
breathed Mehitabel.
Twas a languid day and a dreamy
and with never thought. of haste, I
kept my arm to prevent alarm about
my MehitabePs waist.
"Ugh!" said Mehitabel
| That was the sixth time.
Il feel something on my back. Oh,
| Arthur! Has one of those dreadful ear
wigs crawled through"
This required diplomacy, but we had
! often sworn that we would gladly die
| for her, and so we chivied the earwig
out at last with the end of a blade
of grass.
In the distance a Startling was sing
ing his matinal song devout, and
| Mehitabefs eyes gave their blue to the
skies as l kept all the earwigs out.
"UTgh!" said Mehitabe1.
Making seven.
"A. little gnat or something just blew
right in my eye!'
Chorus: Oh. tra-la-la, etc.
"Oh, Arthur" murmured Mehitabel.
And that was only the first time, too.

ROCKEFELLER FORTUNE

With the solemn assurance from Mr..
John D. Rockefeller's own physician,
Pa,H Allen, M. D., that Mr.. Rockefeller
has every prospect of living to be 100
years old, a most interesting new ques-
ton has arisen as to the probable i'm
mensity of the Rockefeller billions 80
years from now.
Thirty-three years from now-or. to
be exact, on July 8, 1939-Mr. Rockefel-
Ter will celebrate the one hundredth
anniversary of his birthday-provided.
of course. that he lives to fulfill his
physicians prediction.
And SO. years from now, if his mill
lions continue to increase at the pres
ent rate, Mr.. Rockefeller. at the age of
100 years. will be worth $25, 1872, 600 600
almost three times as much gold and
silver as there is in circulation. in
banks and in all the treasure houses
and minis on earth today.
1t is impossible for the human MIND
to comprehend the yastness OF such
sum of money as $25, 1921 0O0 But
If anybody wanted to count it. all in
one-dollar bills, counting steadily at the
rate of So second, day and night,
without stopping for a moment until
the task was ended. it would take two
hundred and ninety-five years five
months two weeks sixteen hours and
thirty-five minutes and thirty-three
seconds to complete the work
Nobody knows just how much Mr.
Rockefeller is worth at the present
time 1t is doubtful whether he him
self could give an estimate that was not
a million or two off the mark Careful
investigators computed his wealth al
s615, 600 OO0 within the past few weeks

PASS THE HAT IN THEATERS.

London theatergoers are complaining
of being held up for charity collection
between the acts.
If the custom continues, London
audiences will be driven to the Hobbies.
The exodus will be as complete as in
Paris. where only rows of empty seats
would be left for the hat passer.
A visitor to the Imperial Theater re-
lates that a few nights ago young
woman came around with a plate to
make collection, leaflets descriptive
Of the object for which the contribu-
lions We're asked having previously
been handed to the audience with their
programs.
Theatrical managers know their own
business best, says a writer for Truth,
but 1 should not think that the popu-
larity of a theater is likely to be in
creased by dunning the audience for
charity subscriptions between the acts.
The Pacific commercial advertiser. [volume] (Honolulu, Hawaiian Islands) 1885-1921, 1906-08-19

and this figure is believed to be as accu-
rate as it possibly can be.
In 1905 Mr.. Rockefeller was worth
$3.50, 900. 000 showing a gain for the pres
ent year of s65. coo. 900. In 1900 he had
only $500 000, 900. and the year before
that he was poorer still $3.50, 100000 rep
resenting his total wealth. In 1885 he
had 500. 1000, 600. in 1875 s5,00o000, in 1872
81, 100000 in 1870 $4,000, in 1865 $4,000,
and in 1855 not a solitary penny. Dur
ing the past 81 years his fortune has
increased from nothing at all to $685.
OO0, zoe.
Mr.. Rockefeller is now IS years old.
On the Sth of next month he will cele-
brate the 9th anniversary of his birth
day The details of his early struggles,
his thriftiness and amazing business
aptitude are too well known to require
repetition here. Besides. they belong
to the past and have nothing to do with
this article, which deals with Mr..
Rockefeller's future and the possible
extent of his wealth by the time ne
reaches the age of 100 years.
1t has been repeatedly declared that
Mr.. Rockefeller is already Millionaire,
this estimate of his fortune being based
on the value of his holdings in Standard
Oil and other interests. AS a rule these
estimates may often be regarded with
security as fictitious. being founded
more on inflated than actual values.
So for that reason it is more reason
able to take the most conservative esti-
mate of Mr.. Rockefeller's fortune
which places his present wealth at
s615, 200, o0c.
Mr.. Rockefeller has over SO years to
live before he reaches his one hun
dredth birthday. During that time it
is reasonable to suppose that his mill
lions will be entitled to a natural
growth, just the same as every other
persons money grows when it is judi
ciously invested and carefully, guarded.
From 1905 to 1906 the natural growth
of his millions added s65, 600. 900 to the

only as relief. This morning I shall
