allowance Of pocket money. The first
money he ever earned was few cents
from his father for putting up fence
posts around the park In Cleveland
which Mr.. Rockefeller owns. This
money he put in the bank. He was not
content to let the money lie idle. Even
as a child the accommodating instinct
was strong in him. He was anxious to
have his father invest the money he
had from time to time deposited, and
the spirit pleased the old gentleman.
The money was invested and the
amount the young man ultimately re-
ceiyed from it was $4,000.

young lady more pleasure than to upset
the professors pet theories by witty
exceptions to his rules, as she did in

had the center Of the stage He was
remarking:
This is the age Of specialties. No

Rocks Set ON Fire by Sea.

It was St Patrick's day, and every
man In Casey's place wore bit o.
shamrock in his buttonhole.
All the talk was Of the ould coun
try, it's marvellous beauty, it's marvel
out happenings, and Casey said to thu
Texan:
1.-THE sea setting fire to tall cliffs
you wouldn't believe that, I suppose? 2
"Assuredly not" returned the Texan
Neither in Ireland, nor elsewhere"
by those words" said Casey, smell
ing his shamrock tenderly, you prove
your ignorance Of Ireland, sir, and
show you have never been to Bally
bunion.
"The tall cliffs of Ballybunion wade
knee-deep in the rough Atlantic. They
are the bulwarks of Erin's west coast
and since the worlds beginning the
wild Atlantic surge, breaking against
them, have eaten them out In caves anG
hollows.
These cliffs of Ballybunion contain
in their depths masses Of iron pyrites
and alum. Now and then the salt sea
water eats into these masses and oxidi
cation at once takes place and flames
burst forth and the rocks crack and
melt in the great heat.
"Once the cliffs of Ballybunion burnt
for weeks. Like volcano, they SEM
up yellow flame and black, foul-smell
Ing, bitter smoke, and the Irish came
from hundreds Of miles to see that
wonderful sight.
"Only in Ireland, only in Ballybun
ion, SIR said Casey, lingering his sham
rock, may you see cliffs set afire BY
the salt sea they stand knee-deep in"

all such to sell their holdings within

naturalized citizen of the United

ROCKEFELLER, JR large portion, either
through disappointment or calls else
where, soon leave, and thus the
class is the loser. There are young
men In the class from almost ev-
cry State in the Union; some have
come to study medicine and law, others
to work. One Of them, a young man
from Nevada, who is studying engi-
neering at Columbia university, says
that the welcome given him, total
stranger, when he entered the class
one Sunday morning soon after his ar
rival In the city, cured him of his home
sickness and gave him courage to re-
main and finish his three years Of
study.
Mr.. Rockefeller never tires Of preach
Ing to the young men on the desirable
ship. Any one coming to the class is
met at the door by either Mr.. Troxell,
the president, DR.. Foote, the vice pres
ident or one of the other officers, and
receives a handshake and welcome
whose sincerity cannot be mistaken.
He is ushered to seat, introduced
to the young man sitting next to him,
and after the session is led out into the
adjoining room and introduced to Mr..
Rockefeller, who spends some time aft
err his class in talking socially with
the members. To stranger all this Is
a revelation in a city where he at first
sees so little sociability about him.
Mr.. Rockefeller receives many re-
quests for assistance and is perfectly
aware that there are those who join
the class merely for what they can get
out of it, but his reading Of human ma
ture is such that he can easily pick the
sincere from the insfncere, and those
who come for merely selfish purposes
seldom achieve their ends. Mr.. Rookie
Teller assists a great many who he
thinks need 1t, and this he does quietly
and sincerely.
Mr.. Rockefeller was early IN his
youth taught the value of money. He
has known what it is to work with his
hands. AS boy he never had large

three times. A camel or donkey might
work its jaws with that deliberate cal
culativeness, but a social animal can
not become a mechanical chopping ma
chine even for the sake of a serene di-
gestion. Prof. Fisher did not compel
his nine students to sit in silence and
chew to the tune of the metronome. He
simply required them to eat what they
most thoroughly could enjoy. If per-
son likes what he is eating it Is no
hardship to have to eat it properly. This
idea of personal selection is the most
important one, so long as the import
ance Of mastication is granted. What is
true at Yale is not untrue in Chicago.
The motto Of all who eat should hence
forth be: make haste slowly choose as
we'll as chew.

A certain Deacon Sam Knowlton In
his day had the reputation Of being q
great hunter. At the beginning Of ev
cry hunting season he would go into
Cumberland county and on his return
he was always laden with many sto

the fact remained that, while his sup

One of his neighbors, a physician
heard his stories until he was tired

It is earnest emphasis of neglected

A story which has been handed down
through many generations tells Of a
wealthy man who determined to make
a practical test of the efficiency of his
servants. He announced his intention
of being absent from his estate for a
long time. Before starting he called
some OF his helpers and gave them
sums Of money in varying amount, tell
ing them to use the money until his
return. Then he took q journey into a
foreign country. When he came back
he asked an accounting. The results Of
that investigation convinced him that
some of his assistants were shreWd and
saving, while others had no just appre-
citation Of the value Of money or the
best ways to use it. The large fortunes
Of the present day have made it al
most imperative that men Of wealth
give their children some training in
business as a necessary preparation
for the handling of the millions that
are to be theirs in the days to come.
1t is stated that a celebrated million
aire, desiring to reduce the cares Of
business AMI also wishing to see what
his children would do with the money,
gave each of them $1OOO,OOO before his
death. No matter what the result
might be in given case of this kind
the Idea is good one. Conspicuous
lack of success or marked inefficiency
of administration thus shown might
have the effect Of saving many for
tune by transferring it to those who
do Indicate ability to handle it. For
years it has been no uncommon thing
for graduates Of famous Eastern col
leges to lay aside frock coats and pat
ent feathers the day after the receipt
Of the diploma in order to don the
garb of the laborer in mill or factory
where the fathers fortune was made
Others have turned from the class
room to take the places at the bottom
of the ladder in counting room or office
in order to learn every detail of the
business to which they will succeed in
the course Of nature. The faithfulness
of such workers is often forgotten
when the escapades of others are her.
aided far and wide In more than one
case the wildness Of the rich mans
son and his lack of usefulness as a
citizen are due to the fact that he never
had chance to show his ability as adj
ministrator or investor, but was
brought up under the notion that, as
heir to wealth, he should do nothing.
With many men money burns a hole in
the pocket. They have no sense of
saving, no appreciation of what a dol
lar means. This is true of the poor
and the rich alike. The thrift
and saving of the poor are COM
mended as providing for the fu-
ture years. The ability to use
money wisely, the power to select in
vestments and to administer affairs
ought to be a source OF pride to the
child of wealth In order that he may
stand on his own merits in a critical
democratic land and not be pointed out
as some other mans son, with no vir-
tues except the reflected ones of his an
cestry.
