Charity of Worlds Richest Man,

A,mere list of the known Rockefeller
benefactions is staggering, and there
are many Of his donations that have
never been made public. In the giving
game the oil king does not let his
tight hand know what his left hand Is
qQlng-that is, not always. To the
general education board he has made
over the enormous sum Of $43,OO 600,
and Of this $32,O0O,O00 was given at
one time. He has donated $23, OOO,O 900
to the University Of Chicago, 100000
and a library on Greek art and litera-
tyre and money donations to Vassar,
$1875s0OO to Barnard college, $25OOOO
t9 missionary bodies, 100000 to
Yale, $1,825,0OO to the Rockefeller In
ff1tute For Medical Research, $780,
900 to the Southern Education fund,
Harvard S1,000OOO, Teachers college
100000 and numerous other donations
to educational and religious tnstitu-
tons, amounting in all to over $85,OOO,-
600.
The Rockefeller charity has been
organized as a regular business It is
headed by trained experts, who closely
scruttnize and investigate every appli-
cation for a gift. The mere admins
trative expense of this bureau costs in
the neighborhood Of $4,000 a year
The amount given out each twelve
months foots up millions. But all Of
this Is a mere bagatelle to man who
Is so rich that he does not know with
In many millions Of dollars how rich
he Is, according to his own admission.
It Is probably not true that he is a bill
Honaire. That being does not exist on
the earth-yet. If Rockefeller lives a
few years longer-he Is now sixty-nine
and comes Of long lived race-he may
reach it. There Is little or no question
that he Is the richest man in the world,
he has five residences one in New
York city, one at Pocantico Hills, near
Tarrytown, N. Y; one at Lakewood,
N. j., and two at Cleveland, O., one
being town house and the other in
the country. He spends some time in
each Of his houses, goes to church reg
ularly each Sunday, officiating some
times as deacon; never goes into soci-
ETY., plays golf as a regular recreation
and generally enjoys life as much as
man without any hair and with more
money than he can count or give away
can be expected to do. That is John D.
Rockefeller, the man who has more
dollars and more denunciations than
any other in the world.

not but be fascinated by the tale Of
how the worlds most colossal business
was organized and the worlds richest
man got his wealth. We cannot deny
Rockefeller intellect, say what we may
of his character or heart. It will be
worth while to know his side, to see on
what theory he bases his actions. to
find the flaw in his attitude and argu-
ment as well as that In our own. Rock-.
efeller and Archbold seriously regard
themselves as benefactors rather than
Indicators. They say their wealth
has been obtained honestly, that they
have resorted to usual business weap-
ons only in their fights with rivals,
that the attacks on them come from
competitors rather than consumers
that they have shown the power Of
combination in cheapening both pro-
ductfon and distribution, that they
have opened new markets throughout
the world, educating the Chinese in
the use Of oil and thus literally taking
them from darkness into light. and
that finally they have given great be-
quests to education in their own land,
thus fguratively performing the same
service for the mental eyes Of their
countrymen as they have for the phys
1ca1 eyes Of the Celestials. Rockefeller,
1t. is true, does not directly mention
the educational matter himself, but it
cannot be omitted from a list of the
Services to mankind claimed by him
and for him.

Publicity Policy Episode.

Yet Archbold, the originator Of the
policy, got more publicity than he had
bargained for. The papers not only
printed the letters that he intended to
have printed, but other missives that
were designed only for United States
senator's and other officials who needed
the money and wanted to earn it by
becoming errand boys for the Stand
ard. It appears that certain trusted
employees stole Mr.. Archbold's letter
files, and they were secured by Will
liam R. Hearst, who also believes in
publicity. Then Mr.. Hearst read these
letters all out loud to grinning au-
diences. Mr.. .Archbold's policy of pub
licity had got away from him and was
eaising the old Ned with his privately
owned herd Of United States senators,
congressman and other stock Of the
public official class. AS a letter writer
Mr.. Archbold suddenly awoke to find
himself crowding all the other entries
out Of the temple of fame
Since that episode it is said th:S:t.

The prosecution had failed to prove she knew that the man who was buried was her husbands brother or that she had poisoned him. Her counsel con- trived to throw all the blame on her husband, who had disappeared.
 After her acquittal the woman came to see me She was curious to know if I had been deceived by her story about the bet and if had really given her a traceless pill. Before replying I asked her to explain the case to me, and aft CT a solemn promise on my part to keep her secret, she did so.
 Her husbands life was largely in- sured. and since they were an i'll mated couple she resolved to poison him. Just as she was about to give him the pill I had furnished her her husbands brother came to the house for a visit. His health had been broken down by excesses, especially drugs that he had taken in large quantities. While at their house he suddenly died, probably to her husband that he disappear and his brother, who resembled him close ly, be buried in his stead This was done.
 1 told her she would find an explana- tion of my part in the matter in the paper the next morning
 My explanation recited my experi- ences as to traceless poison and my desire to make test case. The whole filled two columns, at the end of which gave the contents of the pill I had given the woman.
 It was made of bread.

Royal Chickens of Japan.

'The most beautiful and eXtraor- dnary chickens in the world are those bred by the royal family of Japan, the privilege of raising them not being accorded to any of the Mikados sub jects," said Mir L. J, De Courcey of Yokohama. These chickens are cele- brated for the wonderful growth of their tail feathers, full grown roos- ter's tail often reaching length of 20 feet The tail is of a lovely deep blue shade, while the body is buff, and about the neck is white ring. pair of these chickens has been known to sell to a wealthy Englishman for 1000 on condition that he would take them out of the country.
 T believe that ere long the species will entirely disappear, as I heard be fore leaving Japan that 1t was the in tention of his majesty to cease their breeding"

Hay on Church Floor.

A curious custom was observed at Old Neston church on Sunday. The church is dedicated to St. Swithin, and on festival day the church is strewn with hay Many years ago some donor left field to provide money for bread which is distributed four times a year. The tenant of the field has to supply the hay to strew the church. The custom is supposed to have originated from the fact that on festival Sunday the parishioners wear new boots, and the idea of the donor was to have the hay laid down to stop the squeaklng incidental to new footwear. On Sunday the hay was duly laid down in the church.-London Standard.

had ever undertaken For he knew
that the old tabernacle, and the old
brazen altar that were fashioned at
the base of Sinai, carried through all
the desert wanderings and preserved
through the intervening centuries,
were sti1l in their places at Gideon.
So there in the lime light he loved
so well, he made. the extrayagant
burnt offering of a thousand animals.
No doubt Solomon thought he had
chosen the time and place of the Of
fering, but God had chosen it before
he did, because there was a specific
work for him TO perform. So the
Lord appeared to Solomon in dream
and asked, What shall | give thee?"
This was no ordinary dream; else
we might be tempted to surmise that
had the day been spent elsewhere,
and in the midst of other environ
ments, the answer had been different
from what it was. But it was clearly
supernatural occurrence. To Solo,
mons credit be it said he required
no time for deliberation. He felt his
need and expressed It, His reply
showed that he realized the respon'
sibility his position imposed, and that
he was not blind to his own ignor-
ance of kingcraft and lack of ex
perience. Naturally, he wanted to
make good" at being king, and with
the illustrious example of his father
before him, he felt how unprepared
he was. No wonder he felt as little
child. But Solomon really desired to
glorify God in his reign. and govern
the people in righteousness for the
sake of right; and hence he asked
for an understanding heart to judge
the people. 1t was the real man Civ.
ing expression to the deepest and
hottest aspirations of his heart.
His answer pleased God, and he
promised to give him not only what
he asked, but added riches and honor
among men, so that his name should
stand for wealth and wisdom in al

ages of the world. And long life
would be added also, if his walk
should be as orderly as his fathers
had been.
Solomon awoke, and behold it was
a dream" So impressed was he, how
ever, with it's reality, and realizing
even then that the fulfillment of the
promise would be a literal one, he
ordered return to Jerusalem; and
there. in the tent for worship that
David had erected, and before the
ark itself, he offered both burnt and
peace offerings, and made a great
feast to all his officers. He loved
display, for which let us be slow to
condemn him, lest there be in our
own lives a still more fatal weak
ness.
