OIL ISTNG'S GOLDEN WEDDING
 JUBILEE SPOILED BY TAXES

Cleveland, Ohio, Sept. 1O-Mon- day was John D. RockfelIer's golden wedding anniversary and for the first time in years the Rockfellors did not celebrate the occasion of their marriage at Forest Hill, their Cleveland home. The oil king and his wife had always marked the day quietly here. Always there were a fey old friends to call who knew the worlds richest couple when they lived in modest little home on a street which is now in the heart of the business district. A family dinner with total lack of formaIity, was usually followed by talks of days when Cleveland was only a small lake town. The day was generally concluded by Q ride or stroll oyer the Forest Hill grounds
 Now Forest Hill is deserted ez- cept for Q few watchmen and care takers. Weeds grow rank in the fence corners. There are boards oyer the doors and windows of the "old homestead," and the golf links are oyer-grown with stiff grass. The few old friends here sent notes of congratulation to ParrytOwn, N. Y, where the rich paintings and treas urss which formerly decorated the Forest Hill mansion have been sent to escape the tax levied by Ohio. The cleveland home where the oil king and his wife hoped to spend their last years will probably never again be occupied by the Rockfel- lers, according to the old friends of the couple.

Statfoners.

When pens and ink and other writ ing materials came into common use a great many years ago they were sold by peddlers from house to house. After awhile a few dealers in writing ma terials opened stalls and remained sta tOnary at their place Of business. To distinguish the two classes of paper sellers the man in the stall was called a statoner, and the goods he sold came to be known as stationery.-Wisconsin State Journal.

DO you UPSET YOUR WATcE?
If You Are Nervous, You Are Apt 70
"Get Its Coat" Though No
body Knows Why.

One of the troubles of watchn.ak-
ers is the man who gets on his watch's
nerves There are lots of customers
on whom a good watch is wasted. A
good secondhand watch that has kept
perfect time for other people will, with
certain other people, go irregularly
when it is not standing still Il is
common knowledge in the trade that
watches are greatly Influenced by
their owners.
Nobody knows the reason, but two
explanations have been offered. One
is that watches are sensitive to per-
sonal magnetism, the natural electric
ity that human beings contain in vary
ing quantities.
The other is that a watch may be
disturbed by the vibrations set up by
a footstep which is heavier than the
ordinary. The man who puts his heels
down heavily usually needs to set the
regulator toward slow to keep it from
gaining.
One of the mysterious sides of the
subject is that watches seldom keep
good time on people of nervous, ex-
citable temperaments. = Pearson's
Weekly.

TWO MORALS TO THIS STORY
Different From the Ordinary Fable, 1t
Is Worth Giving Some Little
Consideration.

There was once a man who thought
that the business in which he was en-
ployed could get along without him.
He would sometimes say:
Eyes, work hard and probably con
tribute something to the profits; still
I guess if you had to you could do
without me, all right"
And again:
ga good many men think they are
indispensable. They get the idea that
the wheels would stop if they weren't
around. That's a wrong idea. I know
a great deal better than that"
One day the head OF the firm sent
for this young man and said:
You have given me an idea.
have heard you say so often that the
business could get along without you,
and 1t has had such a psychological
effect upon me that 1 am willing to
take you at your word and save your
wages. Here is your envelope. Good
by"
Morals-Of which there are two,
and you may take your choice.
The first one is: Modesty is pretty
likely to be its own reward.
The second: It doesn't always pay
to advertise.-Life.

Microbes Gather Moisture.

According to the researches of
Messrs. TriIIat and Fouassier, pub
lished by the Academic des Sciences,
microbes suspended in the air act as
centers Of condensation when the air
IS humid. The authors give evidence
OF the existence Of mIcrobian drops in
the atmosphere and have studied their
properties. One very interesting re
suit is that the sudden cooling of the
atmosphere has the effect OF transport
ing the microbes and Iocalizing them
in determinate regions. The cool
surfaces attract them from distance
almost simultaneously. the smaller be
ing transported farther. These new
ideas throw light on the genesis of GER
tain epidemics, and may be useful in
planning the sanitation of inhabited
places.

teaching hand work and home arts.
