waiting on the cook. Then he hired

waiting on the maid. At one time
he had hired four persons, a man, a

CONSULTED HIS RIVAL.
The Direct Methods CT Work Of John
2. RcckcfeI,Sr.


Let Us give a story to show John
D. Rockefcller's fundamentally di-
rect mode of working:
In the early nineties he found
himself in possession of a great deal
of land in the iron ore country in
the Lake Superior region. TO make
the land, which was purchased as an
investment, yield any interest it
was necessary to get this ore to mar
ket. His competitors controlled
the suSaeans of transportation, and he
q practically shut out of the best
and most effective facilities. This
was the way he went at the task of
overcoming these disadvantages:
He sent, first, a representative to
find out who knew most about ore
transportation and the building of
ore vessels. The identity of the
man was easily discovered, and it
was, of course, a man who was him
self large factor in the control of
the trade into which Mr.. Rockefel-
ler purposcd to enter
Most peonie would have concealed
their plans from the cne person who
was to be the chief rival in the new
business. This is exactly the oppo-
site Of what Mr.. Rockefeller did.
He asked the gentleman to call
upon him and then explained to
this expert that he was going into
the ore business ard that he wanted
him to build the boats. When the
ore man recovered from his amaze
ment he declined and explained that
he had no idea of working to aid
new rival to go into his business.
In ten minutes Mr.. Rockefeller ex-
planned to him that he was obliged
to market his iron ore from his
lands to get an income from the in
vestment, that he was willing to pay
the builder a good profit for the
. DtSky pOdtS llldl COuiu uc Dulll, tIldt
he was also willing to give an order
then and there for $3,000,000
worth of ships, but that if he did
not care.to take this order he would
have to 60 to the next best man,
which would deprive the ore man of
the profit to be gained from build
ing the boats, but that the work
would surely be done by some one.
He had logic and common sense on
his side, and the ten minutes talk
was sufficient. The details were
worked ont at the office. The ore
man accepted the order at price
profitable to him, and the result
was a good bargain for both. You
may be sure that the satisfaction
to Mr.. Rockefeller was the personal
touch with the man-the making of
the trade. Even in his most active
times he was not interested in de-
tails.-F. n. Doubleday in Worlds
Work.

Real Self Possession.

Not long ago a young couple en-
tered a railway carriage at Shef'
field and were Immediately put
down as bridal pair. But they
were remarkably self possessed and
behaved with such sang froid that
the other passengers began to doubt
if their first surmise was correct aft,
er all.
As the train moved out, however
the young man rose to remove his
overcoat. and a shower Of rice fell
out, while the passengers smiled
broadly.
But even that did not affect the
youth, who also smiled, and, turning
to his partner, remarked audibly:
