Away back before the palaeolithic time
the first living things were little tiny
stomachs that wriggled about in the mud
of the new-formed earth. Later they
grew legs and arms and fins and tails and
heads and finally man evolved, All this
shows the Importance of the stomach
Rockefeller offered a million dollars for
a new stomach. Constant leaning over
to clip coupons is said to have ruined
Rockefelers stomach. He didn't have
as much fun losing it as cid Mr.
Brady. He didn't even win any
John w Gates, the widely beloved
Bet Million" Gates, made much
money by it. 1t was we'll known in
Wall Street that John D. ant John w
were close friends. Then came the wide
ly spread announcement that John D.
would give a million for a new stomach
Shortly after that Gates would allow it to
be mentioned that Mr. Rockefeller had
found man who would give up his
stomach for the million and the opera
ton would be performed.
Wall Street would believe that, but Il
wouldn't believe that John d. could survive
the operation, and stocks would go down
like an elevator with no means of support
Then Wall Street would hear that the
man had backed out and there would be
no operation wherCupon stocks would in
stantly soar.
And wasn't it peculiar that at the time
stocks scared Mr. Gates always unloaded
a lot of stock at the high-water mark
