ROCKEFELLER'S DAUGHTER
TELLS FAMILY HISTORY
Says John DIS Father is Alive and In
Good Health.

Chicago.-Much to the surprise of
her friends, Mrs. Harold Fowler Nc
Cormick, daughter of John D. Rookie
Teller, consented to discuss family af-
fairs. She said she was led to do so
by attacks on her father which had
imputed to him unworthy motives
with regard to the disappearance of
William D., father of John D. Rookie
| Teller.
is it true that your grandfather
is alive?" vas asked.
Il have seen my grandfather on
many occasions" she replied. He
is n of the most interesting men
l have ever known. l car -emember
the fascinx.ing tales he would tell
his children and grandchildren when
| was very young. 1t Is some years
since l have see him. Because of
asthma, from which he suffered, he
was frequently away from his wife
and children. These periods he
would spend in travel. He sought
dry climates and for amusement
hunted and fshed.

respect and love that should prevail
between father and son. Ny grand
father watched with the keenest in
terest the successes of his son.. My
father and the other children were
lever happier than when their father
visited them"
Mrs. Mccormick then explained
why she did not know the present
residence of her grandfather.
Il hardly see just why my grand
fathers presence interests the pub
! lic," she said. Il myself do not know
where he is" she said finally.
When asked whether it was not
strange that members of his family
should be in ignorance of his resi-.
dence she replied:
mo, it is not strange. According
to his own request his whereabouts
are kept secret. 1t is a matter which
is eve discussed, even in the family
circle"
is 1t true" she was asked, that
John D. Rockefeller, because of his
methods in business or his treatment
Of his father, is responsible for this
desire for seclusion?"
No; that does not necessarily fol.
low" she said, land it Is not the case.
At least, it is a great exaggeration Of
the truth" Mrs. Mccormick init
mated that her grandfather's health
was responsible in a large degree for
his being out of range of the public
eye.
Financially, my grandfather needs
no assistance" she said. "If he
should wish my father to give him
money, l am sure he would get it.
l would not have said what l have
this afternoon had l not felt that ii
was time to make known the truth
f, about my father. / am quite sure he
will be somewhat put out about it
but, then, he will know / did it be
cause l love him"
Mrs. Mccormick would not say how
recently she had seen her grand.
father, but asserted that the family
heard of him from time to time. Sht
ascribed much of the present criticism
to her uncle, Frank Rockefeller.

cut it out and began using Postum.
Twice since then l have drank coffee,
and both times l passed a ~sleepless

coffee caused the trouble and Postum
removed it.
My brother was in the habit of
drinking coffee three times a day.
He was troubled with soul stomach.
and / would often notice him getting
soda from the can to relieve the dis

day passed without a dose of soda
for relief.
FINALLY he tried a cup of Postum
and liked it so well he gave up coffee,
and since then has been drinking Pos
tum in its place, and says he has not
once been troubled with sour stosl-
ach."
Even after this lady's experience
with coffee her brother did not sus-

ing his sour stomach, but easily
proved it.

NATION ALL WRONG,
DECLARES ROCKEFELLER
Says Roosevelt Administration is DESTROYING
Prosperity.

Cleveland.-After his game of golf,
a few days ago, John D. Rockefeller
took another slap at 'the Admins
tration," as he invariably styles
President Roosevelt. C~uriously
enough, he said he regarded Secre-
tary Taft as a sound and conservative
man, despite Mr.. Roosevelt's efforts
to nominate the Secretary of War;.
Rockefeller sees nothing ahead but
disaster to the business interests of
the country as long as his oil trust
and kindred m%onopolies are pursued.
Here are some of the things he said:
The policy of the present Admin
lstration toward great business COM
b1nations of all kinds has only one
result. 1t means disaster to the coun-
try, financial depression and financial
chaos.
The country already has a fair
dose of this since the extreme penalty
imposed on one corporation, with a
limited number Of shareholders, has
caused a loss of confidence, reflected
In a falling stock market, a tighten
ing of money and a fear of the future.
What will be the effect when sim
liz action is taken against oarPera-
lions with myriads Of stockholders
scattered throughout the country, the
investors, the widows, the orphans?
There can be but one answer The
present situation will be intensified
many fold. 1t does not require an ex-
pert to reason this out. The most
superficial thinker can do it. l will
go further and say to-day that be-
u OF the Administration with it's
reports every five minutes of new ac-
lions and of heavy fines, the country
is already beginning to drift t.ward
the rocks of financial depression.
confidence is gone, and confidence
Is the basis of all prosperity. With
confidence established there can be
no stopping of the wheels of progress.
Without it all is at a s%tandstill. The
investor, great and small, locks I'D
his money and refuses to venture
forth.
Requests are coming to me to-day
for money from quarters it was least
expected would be asking for money
some time ago. To-day 1 was of
fered the unprecedented interest of
seven per cent. for 100000 or 81
100000 OF $4,000, 600. The security
was beyond all criticism. That would
be impossible in this country If there
was confidence enough to unlock the
money vaultof the country.
Il know that the railroads of the
United States to-day are unable to
borrow money for any length of time.
1T is really of no great moment
to me. l am through with business.
Loss or gain no longer affect me
am content as l am to-day. I am in
better health than 1 have been for
many years. l am happier than
have been for twelve years or more,
Why are men making these offers to
me now? 1t is because of a lack of
confidence. Not a lack of confidence
in the of the country, not
because there is any danger of foreign
entanglements, not because of crop
failures nor of the monetary policy,
nor of any social condition, but a
lack of confidence in this Administra-
ton"

Motormen Not Nurses.

There is a certain little girl on
Park Point who is allowed to roam
about wherever she chooses, and 1t
seems that her chief diversion is stop
ping street cars. The child will go

the motorman blows on the whistle
of the approaching car.
Several times the motormen have
been compelled to stop the car and
lift the child off the track. The other
day the same motorman was forced
to stop his a twice and remove the
child from the track. The second
time he was much exasperated, and,
taking the child, he led her home.

inquired of the charming young ma
iron who opened the door.
Eyes, sir" she replied.
