way to the White House, President
Wilson was especially pleased, today,
with a piece of watersoaked wood

the piece from the hull of the Mia CARA,
one of the ships in Commodore Per-
rvs fleet a century ago. Young Star
sky told the President in detail how
he had waded in water over my
shoes across the frozen bay and ar
gued= with the guards who had kept
souvenir hunters away. Master Star
sky said he had great difficulty in
keeping his secret from the rest of
the kids s5ss
Il wouldn't tell them,'' he. wrote,
|'for fear they would take it away or
want to divvy up among themselves

the failure of the Hartford hospital to
ask from the general assembly an ap-

with Senator Edward w. Hooker for
advice concerning the matter.
1t was decided the only method re-
naming to meet the emergency is to
link Wildwood and Gaylord Farm

quest for an appropriation large
enough to cover state aid to patients
in both institutions at 81 per week
each. A hearing is to be held, Tues

of visiting him at his summer home
ample opportunity to find out the
| manner of man" he was.
We can say with absolute sincerity
that he was gentle. thoughtful and
conSiderate, almost as much so as a
woman; whilst he had always enjoyed
large wealth. he was plain, unaS-
Stunning, unaffected, unpretentious and
transformations; he was abstemious in
his manner of living; he was temper
punctual in keeping his engagements.
! He was fond Of literature, was pos
sessed of a good memory, and was an
interesting and entertaining cOnverSa-
tionalst He had profound convic-
tions in matters of religion and lived
up to his faith. He was member of
the Presbyterian congregation and
built several beautiful churches, and
was a liberal giyer 10 all denomina-
tons and charitable institutions He
was truly benevolent, and if flower
could be deposited on his grave from
all whom he has befriended. and of
which the world knows nothing, he
would be buried underneath a monu-
ment of flowers Like all very rich
men he received appeals for aid from
all sorts and conditions of people Ev-
cry appeal received careful investiga-
ton, and no meritorious claim was
ever turned down. Those in his own
employment who suffered accident or
misfortune always received substan-
tial relief.
Mr.. Flagler founded no libraries nor
educational or benevolent institutions
for the reason that his charities ran
in different channel He believed |
that to give employment to the I'M
employed was the most commendable |
and best system of charity
He refused to let the bestowed of
his gifts be known, for fear that the !
reasons prompting and inspiring |
them might be misunderstood, and for |
the same reason he refused to take !
part in state politics. His was an in !
tense form of patriotism, and all that !
he asked was that there should be no !
retrOgrade movements, and that state /
and local legislation should be along
wise and progressive lines.
Along the whole scene of construct
i've effort Mr.. Flagler possessed a
broad vision. and thinking men of all /
classes and conditions of people re-
gard him as one of the most striking,
and admirable personalities
of the age of large achievement.
When the same need of praise is
awarded our civic chieftains and cap
tains OF industry and marvellous
as is so freely bestowed
upon our military chieftains, Henry
VI. Flagler will fill the lOftiest niche
in the escutcheon of Florida.
He has left to those behind him
life of splendor and brilliant achieve
ment which will give them inspira-
ton to greater and better things, and
will stimulate them to a loftier en-
deavor and a nobler purpose.

boarded his surplus, and after time
moved to Bellevue, small place in
an adjoining county, and opened
grain business for himself. john ID.
Rockefeller was then a commission
merchant in Cleveland and Flagler
shipped his grain to him, and in that
way they formed an acquaintance,
which eventually ripened into a bus
mess partnership. When Flagler,
now a young man, left Bellevue, he
had accumulated a fortune of $4,000.
He next engaged in the manufac-
ture of salt at Saginaw, and not only
lost his $4,000 that he put into the
business, but found himself $4,000
in debt
John D. Rockefeller, William Rock
efeller and Samuel Andrews had
started small oil refinery in Cleve-
land. Stephen Hardness afterwards
became associated in the business. He
was related to Mr.. Flagler by mar
riage. and had full knowledge of his
fine business capacity, and backed
him for 100000, and he thus became
part owner and the handspring Of the
corporation. In 1870 they closed their
partnership business, and the Stand
ard Oil Company was formed Mr.
Rockefeller gives Mr. Flagler largely
the credit for its formation 1t was at
first capitalized for 100000; after
wards for $3,500,OOO and was finally
increased to $70000,000.
The corporation was the most sue
cessful that was ever launched in the
history of business organizations in
the United States.
All rival companies were in arms
against it because it sold its product
too cheap to the consuming public,
principally the common people. No
other product was sold so cheap, and
even now it is sold cheaper than any
bottled water on the market
Mr. Flagler early insisted that it's
employees should be paid the highest
prices consistent with a reasonable !
margin of profit and that rule obtain
ed all through his business ramifica-
lions. AS a result the Standard Oil |
Company since the date of its organ /
ization, although it has belted the /
globe, has never had a strike or la
Dor disturbance of any kind.
Mr.. Flagler was patriotic. He low
ed his country and he loved its flag.
He particularly loved Florida Among /
his other gifts was lot for GENE

trance is the following inscription:
What is so universal as death, must /

and eXquisitely beautiful flowers his +

day.
God was good to him in permitting I
him thus to die near a spot he so
largely helped to create and beautify. |
