cur with his property without his knowledge.
Still. in some mysterious way. his interests are
guarded. his dividends corraled. No man was
ever so blessed with faithfulness and care
among his employees.
Although we may chafe at the defect in MIR
Rockefellers memory which denies the eoun-
try the satisfaction OF the natural curiosity it
holds respecting Standard Oil we ought yet to
remember that it was not always that John D.
