JOHN D. ROCKEFELLER, JR.


WE'LL young John Dawson Rookie
Teller is giving up business to live up
to the Biblical saying that it is more
blessed to give than to receive. His
father is going to use him. with a COM
mittee of other public spirited citizens,
as the medium through which he will
distribute his vast wealth for the ben
eft of humanity The committee head
ed by the worlds richest young man,
will have charge of the Rockefeller
Foundation to be established by autho-
rization of congress.
Young Rockefeller is a success any
way you take him. Born with gold
spoon in his mouth-it might have had
(foolish ideas of extravagance-he has
always been thrifty and Industrious.
He was successful in his school life.
When he had finished his education he
was put into business and there he
made good again; then he married
very happily the daughter of United
States Senator Nelson w. Aldrich OF
Rhode Island, co-author With Mr..
Payne Of the tariff bill Soon after that
Mr.. Rockefeller started a Sunday
jschool class in New York's richest
church which became SO famous that
he nearly ruined his health trying to
live up to its demands. And now he is
relinquishing all connections with bust
ness to take full charge of the biggest
scheme of organized philanthropy the
world has ever known-if, of course,
the promises of the prospectus are
borne out. Father has put up few
square miles Of good city property in
the younger Johns name, so that he
will never suffer- and the rest of it goes
thought of giving away so much real,
actual, soft money would eve any other
young man recently tagged about these
parts an acute pain in the thorax, It's
likely to afford young John D. a good
deal of pleasure. Not that any one is
apt to hand him an cut flowers, though.
! The comment will more likely run
along the ill-natured groove.
For young John Dawson Rockefeller
is cold business He is thick set"
very pale, smooth faced, wears glasses
for his weak eyes, is a nervous dyspep-
tic and the coolest man on the North
American continent. Senator Lodge
acts like rah-rah boy beside him. But
he isn't to blame for that. He is thir-
ty-three years old now-he was born
in Cleveland in Island ever since
he has been old enough to know the
look of a dollar someone has been try
ing to prong him for it. He simply dare
not loosen up and be a good fellow.
His faults Of impatience and parsi-
mony and liking for petty dictation
nave been born of the tremendous for
tune to which he was born But as
rich mems sons go, he is a very Jo-
seph. He gets up before o'clock each
morning, is at the office at 9, eats a
30-cent lunch and works until 5, and
is in bed at 10, unless he attends a
bean-bag party or a strawberry fes-
tival. He has no redeeming vices. He
doesn't smoke or drink or play cards or
cuss or anything else but work. He is,
to tell the truth, a conscientious, hon.
orable, industrious, stodgy, thorough
ly interesting young man.

The inexpensive household meat
chopper, simple in construction and
easily cleaned, is not the least of mod
ern kitchen blessings. This, with the
double boiler, the Dover egg-heater,
and the fireless cooker, make possible
for the novice quick and assured sue
cess in dishes considered formidable
by the old-time housewife, by reason
of the exertion, time, watchfulness
and Judgment demanded in their
making when modern aids were not
ency to "chew less and chop more all
kinds of materials from meat to nuts,
is desirable may be a debatable point.
But if people will not chew, or can't
chew, then the food-chopper must come
to the rescue of the poor worked
stomach.
Possibly in time we may come to
such an advertisement as that sug-
gested in one of H. G. Wells novels:
'Why are birds so bright? Because
they digest their food perfectly. Why
do they digest their food perfectly? Be-
cause they have gizzards. Why has
man no gizzard? Because he can buy
Pondervero's Patent Titurating Ash
pit Biscuit, which is far better!".
This is no more absurd than many
patent digesters and food fads we en-
counter almost daily. What about the
sand and gravel eating fad that came
to the surface a year or two ago?
Food fads offer tempting topics; but
believe it was tough meat that 1 was
asked to write about. So I'll return to
our meat-chopper, merely remarking
that, in spite of the practices Of gravel
eaters and quick lunch experts, the
best authorities agree that at present
man is not endowed with a gizzard and
after it is swallowed.
Now, there are cuts of meat-good,
nutritious cuts, too, that are almost
Unbelievable if subjected to dry heat;
and one may grow tired of everlasting
braiZes, stews, ragoutsl and potroasts,
no matter how savory. Then chop the
meat and choose from the following
classification of dishes:
First-Meat loaves.
Second - Imitation chops" and
steaks
Third-Meat balls and patties.
Fifth-"Colops" and juicy minced
stews.
Sixth-Potted meats.
These dishes are in no wise to be
confused with "left-overs' served in
some similar style and every effort
should be made to retain the fresh
meat effect, both in flavor and form of
service.
First-Meat loaves. Beef, veal, NUT
ton. or lamb, alone or combined give
leaves of very varying character In
each case some fat is needed, addition
al flavoring is desirable, a few bread
crumbs are a measure of economy, and
an egg Isl helpful, though not absolutely
necessary in holding the material to-
gether.
Salt pork or bacon is a good form of
fat to include in any meat loaf. You
may ask the butcher to chop your
chosen meat and add in the chopping
about one-Quarter pound salt pork to

position hitched to the army bill by
the senate.
The boy, now Col John L. Glenn, SEN
ior colonel in the quartermaster's de-
partment, fought at the battle of
Chickamagua when he was IL years
old, and served throughout the war.
At the close of the conflict, he wrote to
General Grant and asked for an ap-
pointment to West Point. The great
commander gave it to him, but. he
failed miserably when he was exam

branch of knowledge. On the way
back home the disconsolate youngster
stopped at Washington to thank the
president and tell him of his ill-!uck
I'm glad you failed" remarked
President Grant, sternly. "Now you
take this to the secretary of war"
AS he spoke, Grant handed the young
Glenn an envelope containing a card
upon which he had scrubbed a few
words. This card was an order to
the secretary to give Glen second
lieutenant's commission.

livery paint their boxes and the
posts to which they are attached
pure white color. This course, II
pursued, will not only result In a
benefit to the patron in serving to
protect his box and post from dam
age by the weather, but will give to
all boxes a uniform color and serve
to fix their identity in all parts
of the country as United States mail

reater and sightlier appearance than

two inches high. =

attach signs thereto) the names OF
the towns or villages to which the
crossroads lead, with an indicator
showing the direction.

For the Dedication of Kentucky's
New State Capitol on
June I'd.

Frankfort, KY, May 6.-The ex-
ecutive committee for the Capitol
dedication ceremonies met Wednes-
day afternoon, but took no positive
action owing to the unavoidable alb
sence of the secretary, J. NJ. Van
Derveer. Another meeting will be
held Thursday afternoon at which
some of the final plans will be putI
on foot. 1t has been decided to
make the whole affair a most digni-
fled one, and to that end invitations
will be sent to all the former Govern
ors of the State and to number of
other noted men of the State, asking
them to come and take part in the
ceremonies. There will be no parade,
as was first supposed, but carriages
will be provided for the invited guests.
Invitations will also be sent 10 all
the commercial clubs of the various
cities of the State, asking them to
send representatives and to stir up
interest in the matter.

Is This a Menace for Congressman?

A very drastic law for the proven
ton of drunkenness in Washington
and the District of Columbia has been
presented by Senator Gallinger of New
Hampshire. 1t makes drunkenness in
the capital city a misdemeanor and
provides for the establishment Of a
hospital for drunkards where commit
ments shall be for not more than two
years and the District authorities
will have power to establish such an
Institution as an adjunct to the great
Insane Asylum above the Eastern
branch Of the Potomac. The inmates
will be required to work.
