and all his life 1t was his habit to be
up by $50 or o'clock in the morning.
He was a devoted friend to those
whom he liked and an implacable ene-
my to those who saw fit to fight him.
He was at once a man of tenderness
and a man of steel. On Wall street
he was adamant; at home and among
his friends he was genial, warm-heart-
ed. lovable. His intimate friends were
drawn from two extremes of life. The
brilliance of Mark Twain and the late
Tom Reed was his delight. To them
he showed side of makeup that few
others outside of his family appre-
ciated. On the other hand, there have

Although In many States deaf mutes
and the blind receive special training
to enable them to earn livelihood,
others of the handicapped, such as
cripples, are not SO provided for, and
must frequently beg or go to the work
house or starve. But hundred Grip
pies were cared for last year by the
Employment Bureau for the Handi-
capped, a branch of the New York
Charity Organization Society, which,
although not organized until April, re-
ceived about thirteen hundred applica-
tions for employment, and found
places for more than half the appli.

Is no reason why a one-armed man
should not be. a faithful watchman. or
why legless man should not be val.

lame woman should not earn her board
and little more by doing light house
work Although as rule they receive
small wages, 1t Is surely better for
them and for the community that they
should be usefully employed and self
supporting. In Chicago, as we'll as in
New York, and 1t may be In other
cities, the special problem which these
unfortunates present has been taken
up for solution, and already with ex-
cellent results. But philanthropists
now raise the point, and with good
reason, that there is no community,
large or small, in which helpful mis-
sion to the handicapped cannot be car
ried forward. A church guild could un-
dertake 1t; charitable association
which is organized on reasonably
broad lines might branch in this direc-
tion; even an individual could accom-
plish much. The need is so imperative
that, once 1t is clearly stated, money
and service will be forthcoming, and
many an employer will be glad to find
places for the handicapped men, who
ask nothing but honest work.

Want Of occupation will ruin the
most promising of young men. When
a youth sits down in idleness, with
the Idea that the world owes him
living, it's high time that his body
was committed to the dust from
whence 1t came. AS for his soul, moth
ing will ever be known of it. Asrec-
ord of the young men who have been
unfortunate enough to have fortune
left them shows that eight in ten
never amount to a single atom in the
world, and seven out of the eight die
bankrupts, financially, morally and
otherwise. When a father brings up
his son In idleness, never teaching him
the first principle of economy or the
value of dollar he commits a terri
Bile blunder. The father guilty of such
a crime generally has to saw wood for
a living in his old age. Nine out of
ten of the boys with fathers who bring
them up In idle luxury, ere they reach
the meridian of life are total wrecks.
Money bags may, like bladders, keep
you above the waters of distress for a
time, but puncture them, let their con-
tents escape, and you sink. Many
plans have been suggested for the rem
edy TO the evil of unearned fortunes.
But socialism, inheritance taxes, or
government regulation of any descrip-
tion will avail but little until fathers,
over provident, become wiser in their
generation and see to it that their
heirs are worthy of receiving the for
tunes for which they themselves have
toiled.

At a certain dinner, described in
recently published volume of English
"reminiscences, entitled Memories of
Two Sisters" Carlyle was among the
guests. The philosopher was in high
feather and inveighed against phil.
anthropists, somewhat to the annoy-
ance Of Miss Eliot who sat beside
him. and who was closely identified
with good works.
"The utter absurdity," said CARLYLE.
"of mep and women spending their
lives trying to whitewash what God
Almighty has made black and meant
to be black, instead of doing good to
unfortunate honest people,"
Miss Eliot was not philanthropist
Of the submissive sort. She looked
from Carlyle to Froude, sitting at the
other end of the table, and pleasantly
remarked to Dean Milman at her
right:

THE PASSING OF H. H. ROGERS.
Former Grocery Boy of Fairhaven,
Mass, Who Became a Money King.

Former Grocery Boy of Fairhaven,
Mass, Who Became n Money King.
The death of Henry Huttleston Rog-
ers, multi-millionaire and Standard
OIL magnate, came as a shock to the
men of the financial world. Mr.. Rog-
ers died of apoplexy an ending which
he had reason to anticipate, for nearly
two years ago he had suffered from
stroke which compelled a temporary
retirement from business activities.
Henry H. Rogers was a native of
Mattapoisett, Mass, and was 60 years
of age when death brought to a close
his. marvellous career. AS a boy he
attended school in Fairhaven, Mass,
where his father was a grocer-a town
which years afterward was the recip.
lent of his financial favor in many
ways. He began his business career
selling newspapers and driving a de-
livery wagon for his father Then he
worked as clerk in New Bedford for

ing his majority he went with his
young wife to the Pennsylvania oil
country, taking with him his savings
Of $780, There he came into contact
with that group of Oil City boys many
, of whom later were to be numbered
among the financial kings of America
In 1866, after five years in the oil
fields, he went to Brooklyn as partner
In the firm conducting the Charles
'ratt Oil Works.
In Standard Oil.
In 1874 the union of the chief oil
fefiners In New York, Philadelphia,
Cleveland and Pittsburg brought into
existence the Standard Oil Company
and Rogers was in on the ground floor.
Second only to John d. Rockefeller,
he was responsible for the remark
able success of that organization and
second only to him he reaped the
greatest financial reward.
Two great ideas Mr.. Rogers contrib.
uted to the development Of the oil
business. He invented the machinery
by which naphtha was first success
.ully separated from the crude oil,
thus making the way for all that has
been done since In the use Of naphtha
and Its kindred products. and making
the handling and use of the residual
oil far safer than 1t had even been
before because the volatile constituent
had been removed.
