Brown Cream Candy.

A most delicious cream candy is
made by mixing one cup brown sugar
one-half cup water. one pinch of cream
of tartar; then placing the mixture
on a moderate fire to boil until it
makes a soft ball when dropped in
cold water. Do not stir the mixture
when the sugar is once dissolved.
When done, pour on a cold platter and
place the platter-in cold water; do
not scrape the pan. When the plate
IS cool enough to allow the hand to
hold it, it should be removed from the
water and beaten with a silver knife
or wooden spoon. When creamy and
dry it should be taken into the hands
and kneaded until smooth; then it
should be nodded into shapes. Nuts,
dates or figs may be used by being
kneaded in if desired.

those years Ur. Rockefeller went
under the name Of Dr. William Lev

ston, so the latter declares, he re-
Yealed the secret of his Efe-that he
was ROckefeller and that John ID.
Rockefeller was his son.
DR.. Johnston is president of the Col
lege of Medicine and Surgery in Chi
cago. He explains:
1T was in 1874 that I paid him
1000 and became his student and as
sistant. He was living then in Free
port, H., as DR.. William LevingstOn,
and he never posed under any other
name thereafter His wife, Mrs. Mar
garet Allen Livingston, living yet in
FTeepOrt, was one of the sweetest
women l ever knew. I did not know
until years afterwaFd that he had two
wives, one the mother of John d.
Rockefeller. She lives in Cleve-
land, o.
Or. LevingstOn and l travelled over
all the west, through Illinois, WiscOn-
sin, Minnesota, the Dakotas, Iowa, Ne
braska and Kansas. 1t is not true that
he sold medicines in the street. He
had a fine team of horses, the best
that money could buy, and a fine car
riage in which We drove from town
to town. He would have a string of
eight or ten towns at once. He would
drive into a town, scatter handbills, in
which the great DR.. Levingston as
serted that he could cure all diseases,
and we would have a suite of rooms
at the best hotel, and to the doctor
there would come the sick and the
halt and the lame. In all cases of com
mon ailments he could detect the
cause almost at a glance.
He made a great deal of money.
He often took in $500 in a day, and II
he took only 500 he thought it a poor
days business.
II knew from the first that there
was some deep mystery in his life, but
It was several years before l suspect

To Clean Walls.

Burlaped or. papered walls may be
brushed with a new broom covered
with a hood of CheeseClOth, which
must be removed and shaken when
dusty. Bread crumbs and a pencil
eraser will remove many ugly marks
from wall paper. Magnesia often re
moves grease marks. A weak sOju
ton of bOraX and water Will remove
the greasy black stains that mar deli
cate wood or paints. Use kerosene in
the water when wiping vanished
wood work. No difference how good
a furniture polish you use, always rub
off every particle of grease with dry
cloths. or it will accumulate dust and
the dust is more difficult to remove
than the grease.

William A Rockefeller and that John
d. Rockefeller was his SON
IN all the years was with him the
old man went twice a year to Cleve-
land and stayed a week or two. He
told me he went there TO look after
his money invested with John D.
Rockefeller, and he would tell me
wonderful stories Of John DIS shrewd-
ness and great wealth"
DR.. Johnston showed several letters,
postmarked Cleveland, o., and signed
William LevingstOn, NJ. d.
4 first learned positively that DR.
Leyingston was DR. Rockefeller when
he was injured on a ranch in North
Dakota and thought he was going to
die. He and ! went TO North Dakota
together in 1881, and took up adjoin-
ing homestead claims where the town
of Park River is. We were building
a shed for a cattle shelter and in lift
ing a heavy log he strained himself.
He was an old man then, and he
thought he had ruptured an intestine,
The pain was great and he thought he
was dying, l asked him if l should
send for his wife. Mrs. LevingstOn, If
he should die. and he said: No; nOti-
fy John D. Rockefeller, but be very
careful and let no one else know it.
When he got well I told him
knew he was John d. Rockefeller s
father. At first he denied il and then
he said il was true. He told me that
the reason he kept it secret was that
he found it necessary in his younger
days to assume a name because he
was practicing medicine without Il
cense. He might be arrested any time
and he did not wish 10 disgrace the
name Of Rockefeller because of his
children. He stuck 10 the name later
he said, because il was then too late
hOnorably to take his right name
