This was the statement made to-

Ing some time at his big ranch near
Belvidere. where he comes every
winter for few weeks vacation.
For twenty years he has been general
field man for the Standard Oil Com

county is called "ROckefeller's ST.
100000 plaything." :.
I'D rather live on a l50-acre

John ID. does in his palaces. He's
living in a regular HI. He's the
most lonesome man on the face Of
the earth. He can call no man
friend
John u. has been relegated to
the background by all the big BUSH
NESS men with whom he once did
business. None of them will have
anything to do with him. They
don't like his ways of doing bust
ness. Brother William is worth fifty
per cent. more money than John D.,
but the people don't know 1t. John
ID. hasn't invested his money for
many years and is practically out of
tie game. He has the income OF
lis investments, but nothing more.

".Iohn D. is afraid of being kid

never stirs without his guards. If
he goes from his home only a few

with him or standing at windows
with their eyes on him. He always is
afraid kidnapers are after him.

Frank Rockefeller is 20 years old,
straight as an arrow, weighs 217
pounds and is an athlete. Regardless
OF his appearance while in New York
CT Cleveland, when in Kansas he
looks just like an ordinary rancher.
And he acts like one, too. He can

catswear any cowboy on the place.

was experienced on New Years day.
The vessel was roaring along on the
edge of a hurricane. The wind from
the northwest was blowing IS miles an
hour. Rain came down IN sheets and
the crash of thunder sounded like a
battery of heavy artillery in action.
Lightning flashed from the skies at
frequent intervals. One bolt struck
the main skysail yard and leaped in
bounds from it to the upper forcsail,
10 the lower foresail and then to the
crossjack yard, which it snapped Off.
Second Mate William Swatef was
standing beneath the 'mainmast. Near
by stood Augustus Rose, and cabin
boy Fred Hart was passing with a
tray of food. The pipe which Swater
was smoking was broken off at the
stem by the lightning. Roses wood
en- leg was shattered and the tray of
food was tossed iHto the sea. A pine
log about IS feet in length and about
IS inches square was split in half as
though by saw
The last hurricane of the voyage, on
January 80, tore away every sail. The
vessel sprung a leak just above the
water line.
The Aryan was constructed 90 years
ago at Phippsburg, Me. She will prob
ably be the last ship from this port to
make the voyage around the norn, as
the opening Of the Panama canal will
sound the deathknell of such trips.

WANT SAFETY FOR JEWELS
| Theft Amounting to 100000 Has
Aroused the Anxiety of New
York Dealers.

New York-As a result of the re
cent 100000 gem robbery, the great
est in many years, dealers in precious
stones here have been taking stock OF
the defenses which safeguard the
$500, 100000 worth of gems in the
Maiden lane district. In consequence
the public now has a better under
standing than ever before of the won
derful system which protects this
treasure against theft.
Each Maiden lane concern under
electrical protection is assigned a box
in which is deposited a sealed en-
velope containing a key to the office
and the signature of those authorized
to open the safe. When an al is
sounded and the key removed to gain
entrance to the office record is made
and the key is again sealed by the pro
prietor or sole authorized agent.
A report is also submitted each
week showing when the signal fol
opening and closing the safe was re
ceived with additional data as the case
requires. Thus it is seen that the
burglar meets obstacles which are al
most impossible to overcome. BY day
the protection of the Maiden lane dis
trict is none the less strict, and sci
dom is it that even the most clever
crooks dare to venture into the section
below Fulton streets dead line"

Probably most farmers put too

.ji'h the Opening of Panama Canal
There VIII Be Little Necessity
for Long and Dangerous Trip
Around the Horn.

Philadelphia.-The thFee-masted full
rugged ship Aryan. the last wooden
ship of her type to be constructed in
this country, and one of the few at
present under the American flag, has
arrived here from Fort Blakely,
Wash, after a thrilling voyage of $50
days, in which she rounded Cape Horn
The vessels arrival recalled the glori-
Gus days of the clipper ship, when the
fearless American skipper and his
crews made the stars and stripes SD
preme on the seven seas.
More than ordinary interest was at
tached to the vessels arrival because
of these features and because she
carried a cargo Of 100000 feet OF
Oregon pine, the first to be received
here in Is years The timber, some OF
it 90 feet in length and nearly two
feet square, was packed solidly aboard
the ship. Nearly 10000 feet of il was
stacked On the deck.
Capt James McLachin, the captain,
said the voyage was uneventful, but
the log book told a different story.
Two winters and three summers were
met On the voyage, with four hurri-
canes thrown in for good measure.
Lightning played it's pranks on one oc-
casion A mirage was seen, st. Etmo's
fire illuminated the ship, and at times
she sailed through the lurid glare of
seas lit with phosphorescence. A
young shark was captured and his tail
was attached to the bowsprit for good
luck.
The vessel began her long trip at
eight O'Clock on the morning of Octo-
Der 20. About twelve hours later she
struck q gale, which tore off the outer
bobstays. On the next day the fore
upper topsail was carried away.
/ Nature sent the crew a Christmas
present when they were &c days out.
1t came in the form of a mirage Of a
| beautiful tropical island. Everything
on it was plainly visible. Despite the

some of the seamen say they even felt
the warm wind that must have been
blowing over the spot.

Be sure the eggs for Matching are

Keep the house free of draughts and
keep a good clean litter to scratch in.
There is no need of a male bird if
you are keeping hens for eggs alone.
Take good care of the stock you
have and you can develop il into good

Ii is a good plan to occasionally
seald the dropping boards and roosts
with boiling water.
Give the hens a chopped onion oc-
casionally in the mash. 1t is excellent
as a disease preventative.
If he rooster is old do not have too
many hens in the breeding pen if

Study your birds closely and learn
their habits. The better you know

Where Flies Propagate

The manure heap IS where flies
propagate. The female fly lays about
100 eggs, and these eggs hatch in
about one-third of a day. The larval
stage is three days, the pupa stage five
days, and the fly rounds to the full
adult fly in about ten days. There
may be twelve broods in a summer.
The first thing to do is to see that the
manure is we'll screened, and for this
purpose the best material is a light
cheesecloth A shovelful of chic
mated lime should be thickly busted,
quite often, over the manure every
day.

There are lots of good kinds and

berry than a farmers berry. Clyde

to get to live and rusts badly. Sena-
