Brother of the oil King Tells How He
 Enlisted

Even in his early youth, Frank Rockefeller must have possessed a good share of that Rockefeller shrewd- ness that later made the Standard oil company possible. The brother of the oil king told 8 story yesterday of boy hood era1tiness, while joking about the reports that he had met serious finan- cial loss in stlted mines and other spec ulations.
 q see they have me broke again. laughed the former Standard official. ''Well, if I am, won't always be, for I'm Ito have a twelve dollar month pension beginning in August. You can do lots of things on twelve dollars"
 He referred to the pension that all civil war veterans between the ages of sixty-two and seventy years are to re- ceive, under a recent act of congress.
 T have always received the blanks that would give me twelve dollars a month if I were to sign them" said MT. Rockefeller, but even if am broke, I am going to wait until after my next birthday, the tenth of next August. You see the government rec or1s show me to be sixty-four years old, but the family Bible makes me out only sixty two. That's the reason I am. going to wait until August before talk ing oath that I am siXty-two."
 When I wanted to go Into the army my parents at first tried to keep me out of it and then told me to go ahead. for they thought I couldn't get in any how, as l was only sixteen. So I thought would go. The day I went down to enlist I wrote down eighteen and put it in my shoe. Professor White, principal of the High school here then, was the recruiting officer. He had known me nearly all my life and when I came along and wanted to enlist he looked at me suspiciously Are you eighteen?" he asked me. I'm over eighteen I told him, think ing of the eighteen in my shoe. He let It go at that and went into the Sev- enth Ohio "-Cleveland Plain Dealer.

SURE
Fresh Air and Postum Health CombI-
 nation Hard to Beat.

-Four years ago" writes Vermont lady. T was victim of indigestion. Everything I ate distressed me-gave me nausea and formed gas in my stom- ach which was very annoying.
 T had palpitation so bad I could not lie on my left side, and began to think my heart must be affected. I had used coffee for 25 years, and thought it would be impossible to give it up, as I usually had nothing for breakfast but a roll and a cup of coffee.
 My indigestion grew worse in spite of doctoring, and I felt obliged to try something else. I drank chocolate and cocoa, but soon tired of them
 '"The doctor had ordered my husband to stop drinking coffee on account of heart trouble, so ne was using Postum and wanted me to try that I took one cup of 1t as our servant prepared 1t. and thought it was wretched stuff
 q was getting desperate when the cook left me and I had to make Pos tum for my husband. Then it was that I studied the directions on the package and wondered if the girl had been boil ing 1t long enough.
 T cooked it fully 20 minutes and was surprised to find 1t most palatable I found that rich cream improved it as much as it did coffee. I also learned that Postum tasted better, and it was easier to prepare it the night before.
 T put two heaping tablespoonfuls in- ito a square cheese cloth, tied it tightly, dropped it into a clean coffee pot, pour ed over it three eupfuls of cold water, and let it stand covered until morning.
 Then it was boiled thirty minutes, and We had two large cups of a delie- ious drink, after cream and sugar had been added It has a rich delicious fla Vour of it's own and we have used nothing else for four years.
 "Postum and Fresh Air have cured us of dyspepsia and seeming heart trouble, and we have taken a new lease of life" Name given by Postum Com pany, Battle Creek, Mich. Read "The Road to Wellyille," in pkgs. There's a Reason"

tural college-formerly called the
 storrs Agricultural school-hangs a
 Yale reminicsence beginning two or three decades ago. The tale, much con-
 densed, carries memory back to the
 time when the old Scnentifiq school had the income derived from a fund of some one hundred and thirty five thousand dollars, representing Connecticut's share of the Federal land
 grant fund distributed among the lstates and transferred by the Connect icut legislature to the school under the conditions of supplying an undehnea amount of teaching in agriculture, the
 mechanical arts and military training. Later from a similar grant came in a larger income of some twenty-five thousand dollars a year additional; and in return, Shelf was giving a dozen or more years ago free tuition to some State" students. Then same the at- tack on Yale of the Connecticut Gran gers seeking diversion of the income
 (some thirty-two thousand dollars a year), to Storrs school. They charged in whole battalions upon the legisla- ture, which yielded but left the ques- tion of damages to board of arbltra- tors which awarded to sheff-for breach of contraet-in January of 1896 the sum of $154,6O4, representing the original one hundred and thirty-five thousand dollars with accrued interest. In this happy outcome of pretty ran curous contest Shelf. thus emerged with goodly sum in damages; was able to drop her load of free tuition for state students; secured freedom from any fiscal dependence on the state and on incertitudes of Legislation; and af- ter experiences in military training, some of them more trying and plctur- esque than satisfying, has now dropped 1t altogether. On the side of the state the later story has been a dismal nar- rative of appropriations for Storrs school, major controversies and minor scandals within the school itself anSl now, at last, call from the governor for its relocation. In the final lines of the paragraph tale 1t is worth noting that the principal fund of one hundred and thirty-fve thousand dollars awarded to Shelf forms now almost half of her general funds" of s2S9OSs returned in the last report of the uni- versity treasureer.Alum Weekly,

 MOTOR MAIL POSSIBILITIES.

Australian Postmaster General Im-
 pressed with Probable Utility of the Automobile.
 The day of the motor mall car ap- pears to have arrived in Australia. At
 the present time there are getween fif-
 teen and twenty hundred motor cars in private use in the commonwealth, gar ages having been established in most of the cities and large townships. The Boston Transcript says: The cars most in favor among Australian mo-
 torists appear to be strong and speedy vehicles, costing about one thousand dollars. The Federal postmaster gen. eral, while visiting Europe in connec- ton with the International Postal Con- gress, became acquainted wlththeman- ner in which Great Britain France, It. ally and other countries were making an increased use of motor traction. He visited the principal works in Lon- don. Glasgow, Paris and elsewhere, and returned to Australia strongly lm- pressed with the possibility of motor conveyance in the commonwealth, one of his first acts being to ascertain how far the motor car could be used as a means of clearing pillar letter boxes in the large centers of population
 He states that in all the experiments made by federal and state departments the purimary mistake has consisted in regarding speed, rather than utility, as the great recommendation. He has hipta1 fhof 1a faIara1 a tration will have to make an extensive use of the motor car for postal purpos- es, in spite of the opposition displayed by the various railway departments. The idea Is that cars running at about fifteen miles an hour, carrying mails, passengers and freight, might be em- ployed in the rural districts, the profits assisting in defraying the cost and thus preparing the way for the intro- duction of the penny postage lIysten, not only throughout the common wealth, but also with Great Britain.
 If practical effect were given to the idea, an immense number of moto rars would be required, there being several thousand railway stations, not to mention sea and riverside ports, be- tween which they could travel. At present, however, there are few, if any, motor cars other than those used for private purposes In the commonwealth. As a rule, the roads are favorable for motor traction, and when they are not they could be speedily put in order by the local authorities.
 Traction cars would be found useful on pastoral stations, where supplies are frequently conveyed by bullock teams, travelling at a snail's pace and occupying several days in the journey. If few leading manufacturers would | bestir themselves in the work of intro- dueing motor cars for other than l pleasure purposes, they would have an enormous field open to them. It is not | that American firms will be | speedily in the field, several agents be- ing already engaged in Investigating the prospects of the approaching trade. f

PROFESSIONAL THEATER Es-
 n

COtLl.
 A. T. Worm, manager for MT. Soth- ern and Miss Marlowe who intends to institute a service of theater escorts for lonely women, on the same princi- pie as in New York, during the season at the Waldorf Theater, has received many applications, some of them rath- CT curious, but none so much so as that which has come from needy Indian, who belongs to a wealthy Bombay family.
 T am member of very tlptop h. dian family" he writes, "well known in London and New York, and am one of the next heirs, have good talent for original literary work of an imagina- tive and idealistic nature. An interest," ing chronological chart bears. out my views"
 He then goes on to narrate how he is at present employed, and adds: q am, however, willing to change my career for a more adventurous one, for my present occupation does not satisfy my artistic craving; hence I apply to you"
 He then proceeds to describe with characteristic Indian magnanimity what he is able to do to make Mir. Worms work in London something more of'a holiday than 1t is.
 T will not only undertake to act as an escort" he says, but will take charge of your entire organization as well, and altogether relieve you of all anxiety on that score and make it a great success
 But this Indian mans final offer puts the cap on all the foregoing He says: T am engaged to young English lady, and if married man is supposed to be better fitted for escort duties I am ready to complete that position in very short time, ,"-Cable to the New York Herald.

Big News From Tidewater.

Colonel Norris Galpin Osborn has bought half interest in the New Ha ven Journal and Courier and will be editing that paper before the June roses bloom.
 It's altogether the most interesting event of the kind that has occurred in New Haven within human remem- brance. For the best part of a century another New Haven paper has been the Osborn paper. The colonel himself has been the editor of it for more than twenty-five years; and his father edit ed it before him. A long and brilliant chapter in New Haven journalism ends now, and the next chapter begins.
 The passing from one editorial chair to another is no hazard of new for tunes; there's nothing hazardous about 1t. It's an assured certainty of new and large and most suspicious opportuni- ties. Colonel Osborn hasn't seIn his forty ninth birthday yet; he has the health, vim and buoyant spirits of lad of twenty His ideals and his Eng fish are a credit to Yale. He knows his Connecticut like book. He is excep- tionally rich in friends; every county has it's quota of them, every town; New Haven simply swarms with them. He will take charge of the Journal and Courier without a worry about money on his mind, amply supplied with the means to make 1t a newspaper after his own heart. It's prosperity is assured, and something else is assured. Under his editorship the Journal and Courier will be-every day of publicaton-a force making powerfully for civic and political righteousness.
 We were afraid New York would get him away from us. We are glad and thankful that he's to stay in Colsnecti- cut where he belongs-and is needed We congratulate his native state and his native town. We don't have to tell him about our good wishes, Hoch the colonell May he be editing the Journal and Courier in the presidential cam paign of 1936-and for years after that! Hartford Courant.

BENEFITS MAY
FOLLOW VISIT
AguinaIdo Thinks Taft'S Pres
enCe in Philippines Will
Result in Good.

Manila Nov. 10.-A feature of the
visit of Secretary of War Taft to Ma
Mia was the presence of Aguinaldo at
several of the functions for the first
time since his capture. Discussing the
probable results of the visit of Mr..
Taft to Manila, with a representative
of the Associated Press, he said;
1T is my belief that the benefits to
follow the visit to the people of the
Philippines will be greater than they
can recognize at the present time. /
am at present unable to form an opin-
ion. cffhand, of the possible future ad-
vantages, but am confident that it has
done good. The Inauguration of the
assembly has gone a long way to ce-
ment the friendship of my people with
lthe people of the United States. As a
fulfIlment of a solemn promise, which
many expected would not be fulfilled,
the secretary of war did not bring in
dependence for my people in his pock-
ct but he brought the means OF at
tanning II. He told us how we can get
II. The F'ilipinos are thankful for the
information, and pleased at what the
assembly has done, especially in the
interests of legislation, education and
agriculture.
President of the Assembly Osmena
considers that the most important re-
sult of the visit has been the harmon
izing of the feeling between the Amer
leans and the Filipinos, and looks upon
the assembly as having been the great
est thing done yet. He is confident
that much more has been accomplished
than appeared on the surface.
Commissioner Tavera states that
Taft has demonstrated that the prom
ises of the United States are to be
fulfilled. and has showed himself the
friend of the whole people.

WARSHIPS WILL.
BE READY DEC. 10
Provisions and Coal Being
Stored for Trip of the Fleet
to the Pacific Coast.

Washington Nov. 10.-Every detail
CT the preparations for the sailing of
the battleship fleet to the Pacific
ocean is now we'll in hand. and by Dec.
10. the date on which the vessels will
pass out of Hampton Roads in review
before President Roosevelt, members
of the cabinet and high officials of the
navy, arrangements for the comfort
of the men en- route will have been at
tended to.
At all of the navy yards the work of
making necessary repairs is being
pushed and these will be completed by
Dec. 1. Provisions are being stored
aboard the vessels. and their coal bunk
ers are being filled to their capacity.
Upon the arrival of Rear Admiral Ev-
ans, four anchors will be carried by
each vessel, SO as to be ready for any
emergency.
The cost of provisioning the fleet is
estimated at about s375.0O0 contemplate
ing the feeding of force of $4,000 men
for one hundred days. Only this week
contracts were awarded for head
cheese, sausages and veal.
Advantage will be taken of the two
ocean cruises to make several tests
with the provisions aboard-their pres
ervation. packing and handling. 1t is
CeSireu 10 nhu some sultdpie form OF
baggins in which to carry dried provi-
sions, as it is believed b3 gs will afford
the advantage of compactness and
greater facility in handling in different
places than if their contents were car
ried in boxes or barrels.
Incidental to the visit of the fleet to
the Pacific coast, the navy department
is making arrangements to obtain a
place for small arms firing there, SO
as to give the men an opportunity for
experience in that capacity.
1t may be that improved targets will
be established at Magdalena bay,
where there is to be considerable tar
get practice.
