A Dream of Rest.

crest, rest for the weary" Mr..
Rockefeller has found refuge and
relief in Augusta, Ga, far away
from the haunt of the octopus and
the lure of the subpoena. But it is
not because Wall Street is unpopu-
lar-with the losers-or because the
minions of the Napoleonic Bona
parte are personae gratae th9t the
richest of the rich has settled down
in the balmy Georgian environment.
Not at all. All the muck-rakers
and sheriffs look alike 10 him; all
melt under the high temperature of
his affectionate and paternaI nature.
Il like it, he says of Augusta, his
happy home, because the people
here treat me as a human being.
The people don't bother me.
and I am free from the nOtoTiety
that pursues me in other places"
Mr.. Rockefeller is described as
"the most democratic guest at the
Ho ell Bon Air" Bon Air and de
bonair-a proper combination. "He
mingles with the other guests on
the hotel verandas, tells anecdotes,
plays golf, and seems to be having
an all-round good time" All of
which is truly marvellous. For
though the conversation should
start on the weather, how can IL be
prevented from turning to the mys-
terry of the S29. OOO,O 900, or the prob
lem of how much money the pale
and patient plutocrat has earned
while breaking his ascetic fast with
a humble bowl of crackers and
milk? And those anecdotes! How
can they keep off forbidden ground?
But possibly the other guests are
hired to laugh and keep mum. The
tale as it stands today is perfectly
incredible.
There will yet be an awakening
and a rapid fight from Augusta to
Chicago, where the sympathetic
Busse has ordered the vaudeville
houses to bar oil king quips and
jests, or close up. There, by the
shores of the drainage canal, is the
ideal haven of peace-there, where
a strong mayor, vibrant with feel
ing for the under dog, keeps iokers
ard interviewers under his thumb.
