The life story of Mr.. Douglas is
ca. Yesterday he was poverty-strick-
en-; today he is a multi-millionaire.
Yesterday he worked from daylight
until dark for five dollars a month at
the shoemaker's bench, toiled in
cotton mill for thirty-three cents a
day, tramped sturdily behind a four-ox
team and prairie schooner across the
plains of the great West, toiled as a
common laborer about a lime kiln;
today he manages business employ
ing three thousand men and women,
with several large factories and up
wards of one hundred retail stores, is
a bank president and a director in
other large enterprises.
Mr.. Douglas is rated today as being
worth millions of dollars, but his
friends declare it hasn't spoiled him
in the least. He is said to be as ap-
proachable today at his offices in his
great factories at Brockton as he was
when ne had little two-by-four shop

transformations, comfortable, demo
cratic, American.

has since contributed so largely to his
business success followed like falsh.
The next morning he set out to put
into effect the combination of picture
and attractive wording in advertising.
He then and since, however, stuck to
the belief that newspaper advertising
was better in its results than the bill
boards. Today the face and the wares
of Mr. Douglas could not be more dis
associated than could be the kaiser
and his moustache. The kaiser could
shave his moustache, but no one would
believe the ensuing pictures of him
Mr.. Douglas could cease to join his
features and his shoes in his adver-
Using, but the public would not be-
lieve they were the same kind of
shoes.

Mr.. Douglas than that of any other
living man, be he king, statesman, au-
thor or scientist. Persistently, for
more than a quarter of century, Mr.
Douglas has advertised his line of
manufactures by his portrait, and the
result of this policy, combined with
marvellous executive ability, is that
today he ranks as one of the wealth
lest men of New England.
A Washington friend tells an in
teresting story concerning Mr.. Doug
las and his advertising methods.
They didn't publish pictures in the
daily papers when Mr.. Douglas first
entered business for himself, in 1876.
No advertiser had ever made a prac-
tice of printing his portrait. Mr..
Douglass business was small He had
begun it on a borrowed capital of
$S75, and he believed that the way to
increase it was to advertise. He was
clever ad. writer in the days when
there were few men following that as
business. He thought out some
good ideas-and others copied them.
One night he was walking home
from his factory with his head bowed
in thought He had concluded that
there was no use to put originality in
his advertising, SO long as it was of
a sort that other and larger manufac-
turers could copy. And as he ponder
ed his eyes CHANGED to light upon a
long billboard, blazing from one end
to the other with lurid and inviting
of the glories of Bar
NUNS circus. In the center of the
board, occupying the space from the
top-piece to the ground, was picture
of P. T. Barnum.
"They can't copy Barnum's adver-
Using so long as he has his picture in
it," was his thought, and the idea that |

JOHN D. ROCKEFELLER III
Heir to Millions Celebrates His Sec
ond Birthday-Father Devotes
Time to Simple Life"
Special to the Herald.

oPSStol " liz AiSietAo.
New York, March 21-John D.
Rockefeller III, heir presumptive to
one of the largest fortunes in the
world, was two years old today. From
all accounts he is fine, healthy, blue
eyed youngster, who is just beginning
to take a lively interest in what goes
on about him. He is the idol not only
of his parents, but also of his grand
father, John D. Rockefeller, Sr. The
latter has grandchildren in the Nc
Cormick and the Strong families, but
these young persons, who are destined
to be tremendously wealthy, will have
meager fortunes compared with John
d. the third.
The heir to millions is being
brought up in accordance with the
traditions of the Rockefeller family,
which, in other words, means that the
follies and foibles of the sons of many
millionaires of today will be tabooed.
The youngster will find in his father
most excellent example of a million
aire who prefers the simple life to the
pleasures of high society. In his
tastes, his everyday habits, his pleas
ures and his beliefs John D. Rockefel-
Ter, Jr., is most striking contrast to
Their. Possessed of fortune which
would enable him to crafty any eX-
travagant wish, which would enable
him to pay half million year for
yacht and think it no waste, to sup
port a racing stable or to buy prince
~ estate, he wants none of them. To
his mind it is pleasanter to work
daily, to live quietly at home and to
devote much of his time to religion
and charity.
Mrs John D. Rockefeller, Jr., who
was Miss Abby Aldrich, daughter of
Senator Aldrich of Rhode Island,
shares her husbands tastes. Notwith-
standing the wealth and social promi-
nence to which she has been accus-
toned all her life, Mrs. Rockefeller
cares nothing for society and its fri
volities. She is pretty and attractive
and could easily shine should she care
to enter the lists. But her interests |
are in opposite directions. She has
advanced ideas about education and is |
student of literature She is inter
ested in practical charity and much |
prefers to Investigate and relieve a |
genuine case of distress than to spend |
an afternoon with dressmaker talk
UU0f of a gown.--From
must not be imagined that she |
does not dress well, for she does.
But she cares for dress only as wo-
man of her station who has no infatu-
alton for society should care for it. |
1t is not passion with her and does
not distract her mind from the larger |
problems of life, of which she is an
earnest student.
Young Mrs. Rockefeller is not par
ticularly fond of outdoor sports, al |
though she shares her husbands love |
for horses. She COLTS a little and can |
swim and sail small boat She much |
prefers to read solid work on an |
educational topic than to dance or al |
tend dinner party.

The saved are the safe.

A life lived with God is a strong
life; strong, because strengthened. The
might of the Master is shared with his
disciples. 1t is not that Christians are
stronger in themselves that they can
resist temptations and do good works,
but that they have become sharers of
the impaired strength of Christ. The
mystery of religion is this secret of
power for living VIGOROUSLY, easily
and serenely, in the face of whatever
difficulties may confront. No lot is too
hard to be endured, no task too great
to be mastered, by the child of God.
The victorious note of ChriStendom
was sounded by Paul when he ex-
claimed, ct can do all things through
Christ who strengtheneth me-"
They who live for God are reward
ed by living with God, here and for
ever.
Closer is the Lords protection than a
near-investing wall.
Closer than a moat about me, closer
than a tower tall;
Closer than a suit OF armor, or my
hands or feet can be,
For against mine own assailing His
protection keepth me.
Amos R. Wells.
A life lived with God is a peaceful
life The old, old question. Where

In the intercourse of true friendship
the concerns of both are common sub

Christian communion is not a
state, but a progress. Life with God
is ever on an ascending scale. No one
finds out all about God at once; the
longest life, and even the stretches of
eternity itself, are inadequate to re-
veal all the greatness of the infinite
one who condescends to walk in
familiar companionship with the
lowliest person who seeks his COM
pany.
To live with God is to find ones
self in association with saints and
sages of all centuries. The true COM
pany of immortals is to be found in
friendship with God.

to live ones life with God means to
become "pious," and engrossed utterly
in affairs distinctively religious. On
the contrary, it means taking God into
ones life, to have him for a sharer
and helper and counsellor in all the
work of every day. This is no one
sided partnership.
They who live with God are the
persons best worth living with among
men. Association with the divine is
the best preparation for contact with
the human. The friend of God is the
best person to have for a friend on
earth.

A life lived with God is a safe life.
Nowhere else is there protection from
life's storms and dangers. The Psalms
overflow with this thought of God as a
refuge, a high tower, shield, a oe-
fender, a fortress, a shepherd-in a
word. the idea of safety and protection
and succor is intertwined with the
Jewish conception of Jehovah. That
is the basic reason for the supreme
popularity of the twenty-third Psalm;
the weary heart of humanity wants
the shepherdtng of Jehovah. It cries,
with the confidence of ages of testing,
THE eternal God is my refuge. while
underneath are the everlasting arms"
