RocKELLER's SENSE OF HUMoR

From the November American Maga-
 zine
 When he was motoring MT. Rocke- feller was random story teller and joker. He once told me that if he could not tell stories and could not joke he would have been dead 40 years ago. To illustrate his taste in stories and fun let me recall few. Here Is one MT. Rockefeller credited to one of his New York lawyers. A farmer was driving a team of horses with a heavy load up a steep hill. Down the hill came a man in little light buggy and cried out: "If you do not turn out for me I will serve you the same as l did another man l passed back yonder." At this the farmer with the heavy load turned out. When the other man had passed the farmer stopped his horses and called after him: Hey, what did you do to the fellow back there?" "Oh." was the answer, "I turned out for him." This story of successful bluff seemed to tickle MT. Rockefeller hugely.

IN HOTEL. HOBBIES
Tidiness mt School


 Tt was my good fortune recently to schools of Birmingham while they were in session." said man who is inter- ested in education. There were great many things to impress me but there was one thing I noticed at the Alberto Mar tin school on Fountain Heights-which by the way Is the finest all round public school have ever seen--which espeei7 ally attracted my attention.
 Tt was the beautiful condition in which the grounds and building are kept and the care that Is taken in making the children proud of the appearance of their surroundings. I happened to be there at recess when the children were having lunch. In spite. of the fact that there were probably more than 800 boys and girls on the grounds, most of whom had brought their lunches wrapped in paper or in paper boxes, there was not a scrap of paper or other refuse to be seen on the large campus when they filed into their rooms after recess.
 A little girl, evidently of foreign parentage, was down toward the end of the building. I happened to be looking at her as she took piece of paper from hard boiled egg. I watched her Just to see what she would do with 1t. With out the slightest hesitancy and uncon- scious that she was being watched, she ran to trash can probably 150 feet away, threw the piece of paper into 1t and hurried back to the step where she had been sitting to finish her lunch.
 This was but a sample of the way all the children acted. And it means that in the years to come these thousands of children in the public schools are going to be great factors in aiding to keep the entire city clean and tidy. The early training is sure to tell and I will venture to predict that no child who has been schooled in this way will willingly throw paper or other refuse in the street. The desire for pleasant and cleanly surround ings will follow them all the days of their lives.
 A man can learn a whole lot of things he didn't know by visit to Birming- hams public schools"
