RockeFELLER's SMOKING.
CNew York TelegraphD

Stewart Chisholm of Cleveland, who
spends a great part of the season in
New York, is a great friend of John
d. Rockefeller, and has many stories
of that man of wealth, nearly all of
which go to show his simplicity of
thought and manner of living-irre-
spective of his financial operations.
Some years ago." said Mr.. Chisholm,
Mr. Rockefeller was worried a great
deal with catarrh, and somebody told
him to smoke dried mullen leaves-you
know the kind you used to roll into
cigarettes when you were a boy. Your
mother generally chased you into the
wood lot if you smoked them any
where near the house, but you didn' t
mind the odor-you liked it. Well. Mr..
Rockefeller had a lot of mullen leaves
dried and prepared for a pipe, and he
used to pull out that implement and
puff away innocently in the most I'M
expected places.
lone day he was on Pullman COM
ing TO New York. and, feeling the need
of a mullen smoke, he made his way
to the smoking compartment This was
years ago, before his face was so well
known, and not a man in the crowded
smoking room recognized him. He
