H.H. ROGERs FACES
GIGANTIC TASK
Son of Late Oil King, Who Succeeds
His Father, Shows Generalship
in Handling Big Problems.

NEW YORK, May 24.--Will young
Henry Rogers ii. rule over the do
mains OF his father or will regent be
cial majority? This Is one of the first
questions Wall-st asked when 1t learn
ed of the death of II. H. Rogers, the

The general belief Is that the new
king will take the scepter himself. He
faces gigantic task.

last 80 years.
But 1t cant be very many years be-
fore they are all gone What after?
Will the second oil-copper generation
follow the example OF the Astors and
go In for foreign titles, leaving bust
ness to managers and clerks-and
new millionaires rising from below T?
Or is there another Cornelius Van
derbilt in Standard Oil to follow a
commodore?
Henry H. Rogers, Jr., has been best
known TO the world through his ambi.
tons to be military man, via the
national guard route. He figured In
the court-martial of Col Dyer while he
was captain in the Twelfth regiment
of the New York militia.
The court-martial released Dyer.
and Rogers, finding the regimental
mess unpleasant, jumped to the TWEEN
ty-second engineers. From there he
went TO the famous Sixty-ninth regi-
ment. where he made a fight for the
lieutenant colonelcy, which Is reputed
To have cost him $4,000. He was not
elected
Otherwise Wall-st. knew him only
as the son OF his father, a nice young
man who spent considerable time at
the Standard Offices learning the busi-
ness. He was not taken very serious

ADVANTAGE of Cash,

The man who does business on
cash basis can often secure better
terms than the man who wants a
long time to pay his account with the
wholesaler. Some of the bargains se-
cured by the mammoth houses who
have plenty of money on hand all the
time are surprising. The small re-
taller who can pay for goods immedi-
ately undoubtedly gets some of the
bargains in the Wholesale world. A
hundred credit men know his record.
They pass no sleepless nights In think
ing out whether 1t is safe to trust
such a man, and he is going to get
q better deal from his wholesaler
than his competitor who sells on
credit. The trader who does business
on a cash basis often gets the cream
of the buying market. He usually gets
those who have money fifty-two weeks
in the year. The question OF giving
credit enters at all times into the life
of almost every one. 1t Is almost i'm
possible to make rule never to ex'
tend credit, but when it is necessary
there should be hard and fast under
standing about payment.-Boot ana

device cord, from thin twine up 10

When a package or bundle is tied
the end of the twine is caught be-

slight movement of the hand the twine
is instantly cut. By the use of this
time and labor-saving device an oper'
ator is enabled to do up many more

Ncnionce. Another merit is that a

Prehistoric Necklaces Nearly All Hae


the Same Number Of Ornaments.
one of the most remarkable finds
ul prehistoric Indian days was that
of the necklace of tempered copper
beads found in an Isolated grave neal
G,NsacMc, n. Y.
This necklace consists OF 13S cop

from the river, ON the Saunders far.a
The grave was only three feet deer

and as no cobblestones are fount

been carried that distance for ia,

Nothing remained of the skeleton but

Several years ago tempered cop
per bead necklace was found BY Mr.
T.. J. Clue, of Glenville, n. Y, on an
ancient rainbow" of the Mohawh
river. in Glenville, near Rector
Crossing. This, too. contained 1SS
beads. The middle bead was about
three.quarters of an inch in diameter
and those on either side were most

heads, which we're little larger than

the grave.
Unfortunately, all but five of the
beads have been given away and are

ANOTHER FOREIGN CROP FAILS
French Peasant Girls Refuse to Sell
Their Hair.

A recent cable dispatch from Paris
declares that another crop besides
wheat which has failed in France this
year is that of human hair. July is
the month when the human hair mer-
chants go to France from the United
States and England to visit the towns
and villages of the Limousln. of Brit
tany and Auvergne, where the annual
hair markets are held. High prices
are paid in New York and Chicago
for "postiches" of French growth.
which are best suited for the require
ments of the present fashion of large
hats and of the latest modes of Golf.
fure, but the peasant girls of Limoges
and Brittany have now abandoned the
national bonnet which hitherto con-
ceaied their shorn heads, and season
they refuse to sell their hair, saying
that they need it for their own use.
This strike of the peasant girls has
given a disastrous setback to the
French trade in human hair, and the
dealers, unable to do any business in
France. are leaving there for the Ty-
rol and other countries.

Another Idol Shattered.

An iconoclast in the person Of DR..
Eduard Engel in a lecture recently
delivered before the members of a
literary society in Hamburg on ''The
Legend of Charlotte Won Stein" tore
to pieces all the illusion which cluster
ed around her name. He showed by
old letters and other documents that
the woman to whom Goethe had writ
ten 1900 letters which portrayed the
innermost thoughts Of his mind and
heart despised all that was noble. She
called all literary people fools" and
made sport Of them. When Schiller
died she congratulated his family, say
ing that 1t was better to live alone
than to be compelled to abide in the
neighborhood OF unnatural company"
The lecturer ended the discourse by
saying that Goethe's letters to Char
lotte will now be read with feelings
Of sympathy for the unselfsh love and
admiration for the poets boundless
imagination which formed a goddess
out of this nothing"

They Were Not Submitted to the Com
mittee on Awards.
This is a story of six prize apples,
oaASamuel G.. Blythe, editor, writer and
formerly president of the Gridiron
club, and of Robert II. Davis, editor,
writer and good all around fellow.
It happened in Washington, when
Davis called upon Blythe in his Office
There were six large, perfect and
luscious looking apples standing in a
row on the office window sill, their
rosy cheeks polished till they cleaned
like rubies. They tempted Davis, and
be promptly ate one. Then he ate an
other while talking to Blythe. Then
he put the third in his pocket for re-
freshment on the way home.
About an hour later Blythe received
a note from Davis by messenger with
a request to give the bearer the three
remaining apples. Blythe's sense Of
chivalry made him comply with the
request, and he wrapped up the three
ruby checked prize apples, put them
in a box and delivered them to the
messenger boy without the least APP
pearance of regret at relinquishing
that for which he had worked and
planned for months.
The apples were the largest Of a
specially fine variety and had been
carefully cultivated by Blythe on his
farm in the northern part Of the state
They had arrived that morning and
had been set aside for the moment, to
be later packed and sent to the com
mittee on awards at the agricultural
exhibition. Blythe had hoped to get
a prize for them, but he was too mag
unanimous and gallant to deny them
to a friend, and so Davis ate all of the
six prize apples.-Chicago Record-Her-
