Dlaes in Reminiscent Way on the Early Struggles Of the
Great Oil Trust .Testifes TO Show That the
Octopus "Just GroWed"- Like Topsy

New York. Nov. 18.--Relating his
story with an air like gentleman Of
kindly mien engaging a host of
friends with incidents Of days long
past, John D. Rockefeller, president
OF the Standard Oil company, though
for nearly ter years retired from the
active cares Of the company, discuss
ed for over two hours today and
reviewed the history of theearly oil
trade and development OF the first
companies that grew into the pres
ent so-calied oil trust.
Mr. Rockefeller was witness for
the defense in the suit to dissolve
the Standard OF; company, which is
being prosecuted by the United States
government, and his appearance at
the hearing before Judge Franklin
Ferriss, the referee, brought large
crowd to the customs building.
The head Of the big oil combine
was surrounded by AN imposing cir
Gle Of counsel. and when he began
giving his testimony he gazed COM
placently upon a swarm OF newspa-
per men beside whom pressed close
a throng OF people that filled the
room. Mr.. Rockefeller appeared at
complete ease and when John G.
Milburn, of the counsel for the Stan
dard OIL company propounded his
first question, the witness spoke out
in full tones, as lie he desired the
most distant in the chamber to hear.
Then, In a manner that indicated
pleasure with what he was about to
say, Mr.. Rockefeller spoke OF his
start in the oil business and how
under advirse conditions that bust
ness grew to the proportions Of the
Standard OIL company OF Ohio, with
its capitalization of $1,000, 900. Mr..
Rockefeller's eyes sparkIed in re-
Election OF that early financial orga-
3nization, and speaking Of its million
dollar capitalization with almost a
boyish manner, he said
TT seemed very large to US, who
began with $4,000 in 1862. 81
Thus the proceedings lost In q
sense their official aspect because

Rockefeller displayed IN HIS answers.

es OF kindly humor. The glow or
health showed in Mr.. RockefeIler's
smooth-shaven face and to inquiring
newspaper men he replied that he
never felt better.
The president OF the Standard was
dressed in dark suit Of dark mater
ial and across bis vest was suspend
ed heavy gold watch chain. He
also wore dark purple necktie, In
which a large pearl pin was set,
close to a high collar.
The development of Mr., RockefeI-
ler's testimony today carrying him
to the organization of the Standard
Oil Company Of Ohio, indicated one
of the lines Of the defense would be
that the Standard Oil company is not
the result of an aggressive policy
to gain the mastery Of the oil trade,
as charged, but the natural outcome
OF an economic development which
the exigencies Of the oil Industry de-
manded.
During a brief recess this after
noon Mr.. Rockefeller talked to the
reporters on the Standards growth,
saying:
tsWhat a wonderful thing 1t all
has been-the growth Of this bust
ness. Tt all seems like d dream to me
and here am accused Of doing the
very wicked thing Of selling a good
article at lower price than anyone
else"

The Jenkins children did not take
the fever, and one afternoon when the
fancy work club met at her house
some one preached to Mrs. jenkins
the subject of her family's immunity
from epidemics.
There is nothing odd about It," that
lady replied. MIR. jenkins and / are
particularly careful that the children
shall avoid contagion. OF course 1t
sometimes happens that we fall to pro-
tect them-as when Johnny got the
measles-but that was because his
teacher sent him on an errand to the
home Of one of the children who were
sick We used every precaution to
keep him away from the other children
after he was infected, and that was
why none of the others was Ill. We
have room set apart for little inva-
lids. Instead of having it papered the
walls and ceiling are prettily painted
and the floor is stained. When one of
the children is ailing, we put him in
that room at once, and when he re-
covers we wash down the walls and
ceiling and give the floor a fresh coat
of stain and wash and air the bedding.
Then there is no danger of the disease
germs remaining in the house When
the room is well disinfected it can be
used as an ordinary sleeping room"

There was an epidemic Of fever In
the village. 1t seemed in that partieu-

been the measles; then came the
whooping cough; after that there was
pnsumonia accompanied by diphtheria.
The doctors prospered, but the rest Of
the community was In eclipse, as rule.
One remarkable phenomenon was no
