By One Who Suffers


She ran to cook his pancakes,
And the phone bell rang;
She rushed to start the coffee,
And the phone bell rang;
Breakfast, he went without it,
"Goodbye," he had to shout it,
She would have wept about it,
But the phone bell rang.
She had to dress the children,
And the phone bell rang;
She went to wash the dishes,
Aid the phone bell rang;
The parlor needed busting,
The chatting dish was rusting,
And the silverware disgusting
But the phone bell rang.
The grocer stopped for orders.
And the phone bell rang;
A neighbor came to gossip,
And the phone bell rang;
She thought by being hasty
She could make some biscuits tasty;
Her hands with dough were pasty,
And the phone bell rang.
All day her housework waited
While the phone bell rang;
No time for rest or labor
When the phone bell rang;
At last he came to fold her,
In his arms, "poor girl he told her,
For second he consoled her
Then the phone bell rang

handed him, just as he had finished his

the report of the death of III. Ii. Rogers.
1T is so unexpected he added. Il had
no knowledge that he was sick
When asked for an expression as to the
effect Mr.. Rogers death would have
upon the stock market and the business
world, Mr.. Rockefeller replied:
Mr.. Rogers death is a great personal
loss to the business world, but 1t is only
a personal loss. l am not familiar with
his business affairs. but have every rea-
son to believe they were all in good
shape. Mr.. Rogers has not been actively
connected with the affairs of the Stand
ard Oil Company for over two years."
Continuing. and plainly showing that
the news had greatly affected him, Mr..
Rockefeller said:
Il have seen Mr.. Rogers but twice
during the past five years, and on both
of these occasions, as well as often be-
fore, / urged him, with tears in my
eyes. not to work so hard. / also plead
ed with the members Of his immediate
family whenever / met them to urge
him not to work so hard. But he was
so strong. so powerful, that no one
could persuade him to cast aside his
burdens. can only repeat that his
death is a great personal loss, but that
the business world will be in no way
unfayorably affected.
