II they find him in this office the
fierce, domineering, money-seeking
nan that the world believes him to be,
There is no doubt that Mr.. Rogers
is the most important factor I'm the
great Standard organization. John d.
Rockefeller was the builder Of the ma
chine; Henry II. Rogers now is the
engineer. He is the force, the energy,
that has driven the tremendous trust
on to new victories, to increased
wealth, with Irresistible power crush
ing all opposition. The methods of the
two men are radically different. The
policy OF secrecy, of going round about
to avoid open contests, of combinations,
of secret agreements, of rebates, of
digging the ground slyly from under
q rivals feet, OF squirming, OF lodging,
OF tricks that are deep and crafty-all
these are inheritances from the first
Rockefellers. But the Standards ag-
gr~essiveness in recent years comes from
Rogers. He Is the fighter. the man
who dares and who defles. He Is not
afraid to come out In the open n
strike any foe between the eyes. He is
the one who is bold, insolent, au-
dacious, defiant, daring, the buccaneer
with the biggest and most powerful

NEVER REACH THE BOTTOM.
Articles Dropped in Calumet Mine Shat,
Found Clinsing to East Side.
From the ST. Paul Dispat

From the st. Paul Dispatch.
1t is an interesting scientific fact,
and n not generally known. that
nothing that falls from the mouth Of
the deepest mining shaft In the world
ever reaches the bottom. This has
been demonstrated at the famous Red
Jacket shaft of the Big Calumet and
Hecla copper mine at Calumet. Tho
article no matter what shape or size If
may be, is invariably found clinging to
the east side of the shaft.
One day a monkey wrench was drop
ped, but 1t did not go TO the bottom.
1t was found lodged against the east
side of the shaft several hundred feet
down. This incident coming to the at
tention of the Michigan College OF
Mines, 1t was decided to make a care.
full test of the apparent phenomenon.
1t was decided best to use a small but
heavy spherical body, and a marble
tied to a thread was suspended about
twelve feet below the mouth of the
shaft. When the marble was abso-
lutely still, assuring that it would drop
straight down. the thread was burned
through by the flame of a candle. The
marble fell but at a point 500 feet from
the surface brought up against the east
wall Of the shaft.
The same would be the case were q
man to fall into the shaft. While Id
would mean sure death, the body badly
torn, would be found lodged in the tim
bering on the east side. Members of
the faculty of the College of Mines are
now engaged In experiments with q
view to developing data as to the thick
ness of the earth's crust. 1t Is not
hoped to solve the perplexing problem
Of the distribution of the earth's matter
but 1t is hoped to add to the informa-
ton collected concerning Ii.
To this end the Red Jacket shaft
presents advantages possessed by no
other place In the universe. The deep
shafts in other parts Of the country
and in foreign lands generally begin at
an altitude and end above or very little
below the sea level, whereas at the
Calumet mine, the Red JACKIE shaft
starts in a comparatively low altitude
and pierces the earth's crust deeper and
further below the ocean level tina any
other In existence. 1t is hoped with
in a year to be able to give some In
telligent information regarding the in
vestigations.

mere pleasure.
All tina Is the Rogers who occupies
room No lilo In the Standard OH
building, No. rs Broadway. But there
is another Rogers-the charming. de-
lightful, humorous. fascinating mar OF
whom the world never had a glimpse
until he exhibited himself In an un-
guarded moment during h legal pro-
ceedings Of the past week. If he was
merely acting hen he Is a wonderful
actor. But If he was only natural then
the people too long have been deprived
of q genial spirit whose words n

Brotherly Love of Mark Twain and
Rogers.
The man nearest to the heart of
Henry II. Rogers is Mark Twain. There
is a brotherly love between them, a re-
lationship I'm which the financier plays
the role of h protector n receives
in return the hunorist's humanity n
sweetness OF nature that is wonder
fully mellowing to the money King.
Rogers. the Standard Oil ~financier,
entered the little room where the Mis-
souri, trust probers were after his cor
poration. He was scowling, frowning,
his eyes were flashing anger n he APP
peared at war with the whole world.
He paced restlessly around a little
ante-room. awaiting his u on the
witness stand. The dragging minutes
would have served only TO increase the
impatience OF the average man In his
position, but over Mr.. Rogers there
slowly came a different mood. AS At
torrey General Hadley remarked. he
viewed things from a different point
from the average man. The waiting.
the uncomfortable quarters, and the
echoes Of the persistent probing going

Twain told his story of the boys caught
playing cards in the preachers room.
They hid the cards in the sleeve Of the
minister's robe. A few days later when
the preacher was engaged in baptizing a
convert by the immersion method, a full
hand foated out upon the waters.
"I've heard that before" said Uncle
joe"
II reckon you have" said Twain. II in

newspapers stole it. Why, about ten years

education and learning, to whom IL had
been recommended that he read limo
cence Abroad" as the funniest thing ever
written by an American. The English edi-
ton of this work is published in two vol
umes, the second being called THE New
Pilgrims Progress" Not very long after
Twain met this Chinaman at his home.

fished a book out OF his library.

portion. The best way is to pour on the
tea after 1t has been on the leaves for
V minutes and then throw the old
leaves away. If the tea is allowed to.
stand on the leaves il becomes dark
and strong and is not fit to put In the
human stomach. 1t is said that tea
should never be as dark as rood brandy
when 1t is poured ou of the top, though
some hardened tea drinkers prefer il
hat way.
The Chinese have a little different
method OF making their tea, catering to
each guest separately. though it
amounts to about the same as properly
making 1t in a teapot. They place the
tea for each person in a deep bowl with
an inverted saucer over it. Boiling wa
ter is poured in each bowl and after
1t has stood a few minutes the tea is
poured out from the bowl into small
cups n drunk scalding hot without
either sugar or milk
A Chinaman is scandalized II asked
for milk or sugar to put in tea, though
courtesy always impels him to furnish
it.
The English. on the other ham all
most invariably use milk and nearly all
ways sugar. They claim that there is
almost as much in pouring" a good
cup OF tea as there is in making II.
Tea with milk added should be just the
olo of good coffee with milk. But it
is seldom ever seen that color in this
country.
The Russians Idea.
The Russians seldom use milk in tea
but usually sugar and always a slice OF
lemon. Their tea is much the color
and strength of the English tea when
both are properly made. One peculiar
ity Of the Russians drinking is, how
ever, that they always serve tea in
glasses for men and in cups for women.
The much talked of camoyar is nothing
but a brass, copper or nickel furnace
burning charcoal, which keeps the wa
ter hot for some hours if necessary,
But water is not at it's best for tea
making If constantly boiled in this
way. So far as the teamaking is con-
cerned, the samovar has nothing to do
with it n is merely a convenience
where hot water is wanted for cup after
cup. For the Russians will drink it all
most continuously from morning till
night.

80 to DIR. TwitcheI's church they
went
There is another chapter to the
story that was told afterwards. II was
a good one on Twain, too. Soroc weeks
later a Hartford man was IN Washing
ton and meeting Senator Joseph Haw-
ley, said: Did you hear about the great
religious revival in Hartford?
mo replied the senator, what hap
pened?'
"'Oh, II was a great ore continued
the Hartford man, and a fine success.
We got Mark Twain and lost only sew
%enteen.'"
How is it, Mr.. Rogers" queried n
of the newspaper men, that you have
kept yourself locked UP all these years
In the Standard Oil building and V
let us get at you TO hear these
stories?"
You see. I was born in tho country, and
am a nttie modest" replied the ~fnancier.
ITO tell the truth, | was afraid Of you"
The suggestion that Rogers, the man of
cold blood and daring who defies courts
and millionaires alike. was afraid OF re-
porte:s was such a delicious little joke that
he laughed at IL. himself.
we have agreed" said the reporters,
that IL you ever lose your job with the
Standard, we win get you one on the news
papers and let you be One OF u.s."
That's very kind" was the response.
I'm accept the offer, but what could ! do
on a newspaper"
Edit the funny column they replied
unanimously.
Mr.. Rogers bowed assent in mock humor
and agreed TO turn joke editor II he should
be so unfortunate as to lose his present
position. Then the real Rogers. no longer
financier. but humorist and democratic
companion OF his newly-found acquaint-
ances, led the chatting and the bantering
Of wit. The reporter told him the latest

on In the other room changed him into
a man OF hurnor and humanity. The
reporters ventured around him and
asked commonplace questions. The ice
of his nature cracked q little, but did
not break. Then some one spoke of
Mark Twain. Instantly all the cold
ness, the hardness, the reserve melted
away n the hitherto unknown side
or Mr.. Rogers nature came into open
view. IT was like the pass word into
his true self,
Were you at the dinner?' he asked
OF one, referring to the banquet given
by Colonel George Harvey TO Mark
Twain recently or the occasion of the
latter's SEVENTEEN birthday. IT felt
out OF place there, among all those
literary neople. / did not wish to go,
but Clemens said he would not go with
out me and the Rev. DIR. Twitchell. SO
I simply had to 60. But was 1t not n
most enjoyable affair? And at the table
where I was seated was n most cham
Ing and delightful woman, Mrs. Craigie.
I am glad I went"
Now we had found the new and the
true Rogers, and we gathered around
him closely, warmed by his suddenly
displayed lovable nature. In place of
the hard frown his face took on a fas-
cinating look. His smile was infectious,
and his eyes won us all.
did o eve hear the story
about" Then he hesitated, and
looking over the group for a moment,
continued: 81 don't know whether I
dare ten stories In this crowd. 1t would
be like the sailor who took out a piece
OF tobacco on South street"
What became of the sailor and to-
bacco?" was the instant query.
His Story About Mark Twain's Re-
iision.
well, never mind the sailor, for Til
tell you the story OF how Mark Twain
got religion and first met DR.. Twitchell
Joe Twitchell, as they like to call
him. When Clemens went to Hartford
to live his wife said to him one day:
Samuel, we have wandered around a
good while and led considerable Of a
Bohemian life. Now that we have set
tied down here / think we ought to join
some church and be respectable. It's
the thing to do-at least II was that
way I was brought up in Elmira.' Mark
agreed and suggested that they make
the rounds of the churches and pick
out the one they liked best.
They did so, Sunday after Sunday,
until they had visited all, and then for
a few Sundays nothing was said.
Twain hoped that the subject was for
gotten, and he would not have to go
anywhere. But one day Mrs. Clemens
reminded him. Samuel she said. we
have been to all the churches and now
you should decide which one we are
to attend Twain thought a long while
and finally said: There's that Meth
odist church down In the side street.
I rather liked the preachers sermons.
Let's go there
mo. Samuel replied Mrs. Clemens,
sternly; 1T Is not ermon YOU need,
but prayers
Twain thought again for a while.
Then he replied:
well, IL It's prayers I neeI let's
go to DR.. TwitchelPs church. He wasn't
very hard on me IN his prayers
