STARTS SERIES OF ARTICLES IN
THE WORLDS WORK.

NEW YORK. Sept. 24.-No less a
parsonage than John d. Rockefeller IS
the latest to pick up pen and pose
as an author. John D. has blossomed
out in THE Worlds Work" magazine
In series OF articles, the first OF
which will appear in the current issue.
tomorrow. This series the oil mag
nate has dubbed Some Random Rem
iniscences Of Men and Events"
Here are a few excerpts from Johns
"faciie pen," as the hack writer's al
ways say:
1T has not been my custom to press
my affairs forward into public gaze;
but I have come to see that II my
family and friends want some record
Of things which might shed light on
matters that have been somewhat dis
cussed, 1t is right that should yield
to their advice. and in this Informal
way go over again some OF the events
which have made life interesting to
me-"
IF tenth OF the things that have
been said are true then dozens OF able
and faithful men who have been asso-
ciated with me. many OF whom have
passed away, must have been guilty
OF grave faults.
Hope Beyond the Grave.
FOR myself, had decided to say
nothing. hoping that after my death
the truth would gradually come TO the
surface and posterfty would do strtct
justice, but while live and can testi-
fy to certain things. II seems far that
| should refer To some points which
hope will help TO set forth several
much discussed happenings In a new
light. ! am convinced that they have
hot been fully understood.
1T has been said that / forced the
men who became my partners In the
oil business TO join with me. would
not have been so short-sighted. II II
we're true that l followed such tactics.
ask would IL have been possible 10
make OF such men lifelong compan-
ions?
For IA years I have been out of
business. and in eight or 10 years
have only once gone to the com
pany's Office"
Reiterates Court Gag.
Rockefeller speaks of the develop
ment OF the Standard OIL Co, and
says that the plan Of selling direct To
the consumer and the exceptionally
rapid growth OF the business bred

Coffee In .Ian,.icr.

You see all those bushes with red
berries strung among their branches?
That is coffee, and the taller trees
among which it is growing are pimen-
tos, from which the world gets its all
spice 1t looks like jungle, does it not?
Yet many thousands of dollars would
not buy that one hill slope. Among the
lovely flowers humming birds sparkle
as they fly and hover; BUTTERFLIES as
large as the birds dispute the honey
with them. AS you turn round the cor
ner you surprise parties CT tiny ground
doves. and every now aud again the
larger pea doves fit across the road.
Up from the valley below the sounds
of voices and laughter. Stop your car
riage and look down. Those are the
works on coffee estate. and those fiat
terraces partitioned off into squares
are the 'barbecues" upon which the Der
ries are dried. You can see that some of
the squares are a different color to the
rest. The dark ones are those that are
covered with coffee; the others are
those which have not yet been filed.

Resting Their Muscles.

When man is tired he stretches
his arms and legs and yawns. Birds
and animals, so far as possible. fol.
low his example Birds spread their
feathers and also yawn, or cape.
Fowls often do this, Fish yawn. They
open their mouths slowly until they
are round, the bones of the head seem
to loosen and the gills open.
Dogs are inveterate yawners and
stretchers, but seldom sneeze unless
they have a cold. Cats are always
stretching their bodies. legs and claws,
as every one knows who has had cat
for pet.
Horses stretch violently when and
after fndulging in a roll, but not as a
rule on all fours, as stays do. A stag
when stretching sticks out his head,
stretches his fore feet out and hoI.
lows his back and neck as though try
ing to creep under ba r.
Most ruminant animals stretch when
they rise UP after lying down. Deer

Bad Fire Treatened.-A gasoline
stove exploded in the meat department
of Charles r. Dixon on Fifth avenue
just east of Fifteenth street yesterday,
and for a while it looked as though it
would be disastrous blaze The fire
department, however. arrived prompt

any serious damage had been done.
Mr.. Dixon had lighted burner on the
gasoline stove 10 heat some water, and
it is thought that spark dropped into
a can of paint which was standing
close by, causing the explosion.
