John DIS Brand 10 Dry, and Il Usually
Hits the Mark.

John D's Brand 10 Dry, and II Usually
Hits the Mark.
or late years there has grown up in
Cleveland an impression that Neighbor
Rockefeller, despite his pathetically &c.
rious cast Of c~ountenance. possesses q
good deal of dry humor. In support
Of this people cite the answer he made
IN the witness stand at a Standard Oh
hearing. The attorney for the govern
nent had asked him il it were true
that the Standard controlled the oil
supply Of the entire world. to which
query Rockefeller replied. Not yet"
In the same connection n may re.
call the remark that he made to a
friend who found him playing golf
one day all alone and asked him II he
wouldn't prefer to have an opponent
to make the game more interesting.
With a twinkle of his eyes the oil
dealer answered. "No; ! never could
stand the idea Of competition"
There is evidence that Rockefeller
had u sense Of humor as early al the
seventies. In those days he had not
yet become inaccessible. and. although
he was careful not to let any visitor
about the Standard Offices find out
anything concerning his business, he
was not much more difficult to reach
than the proprietor Of a harness shop.
One morning there entered the Rookie
Teller private Office a large, querulous
Irishman, a contractor, who had had
some business dealings with Rookie
feller's oil company and was nurturing
a grievance. The visitor briefly set
forth this grievance and then opened
up with a stream Of v~ituperative pro.
family aimed at Rockefeller personally.
Through it all Rockefeller sat az II
~preoccupied, staring at a little spot
on his left thumb nail. When the Wis.
itor had quite finished his TRADE the
oil refner turned to him as If he had
just recalled his presence and asked
quietly, Nov, will you please repeat
that?"
The absurdity of the request Is said
to have appealed so strongly to the
brusque caller that he burst out laugh
ing, and the differences were s0on am
icably adjusted.
Then there is the remark he once
made to a waiter in a Cleveland hotel.
The MONDAY luncheon menu at the ho-
tel included roast beef and potatoes
for IS cents. and Rockefeller had been
in the habit Of ordering roast beef and
| potatoes with the utmost abandon.
One day the scale Of prices was ad-
vanced. Roast beef alone cost IS
cents; potatoes cost 10 cents extra.
Rockefeller had been giving the waiter
a ten cent tip. but in view of the extra
charge for potatoes he laid out only a
nickel for the waiter. The latter re-
preached him peevishly. saying. IF l
had as much money as you have l
wouldn't squeeze a nickel so hard"
"Well," retorted the oil man, "if you
| squeezed a nickel as hard as l do you
wouldn't be a waiter" - Saturday
Evening Post.

The Three Kings.
By HENRY ". LONGFELLOW.

Three kings came riding from far away
Melchior and Gaspar and Baltasar.
Three wise men out of the east were they.
And they Travelled by night and they slept
by day.
For their guide was a beautiful. won
derful star.
The star was so beautiful, large and clear
That all the other stars of the sky
Became a white mist In the atmosphere.
And by his they knew that the coming
was near
OF the Prince foretold in the prophecy.
Three caskets they bore on their saddle
bows.
Three caskets of gold with golden keys.
Their robes were Of crimson silk with
rows
OF bells and pomegranates and furbelows.
Their turbans like blossoming almond
And SO the three kings rode into the west
Through the dusk Of night, over hill and
dell.
And sometimes they nodded with beard
on breast
And sometimes talked as they paused to
rest
With the people they met at som way
side well.
"Of the child that is born" said Baltasar.
Good people. ] pray you tell us the
news.
For we in the east have seen his star
And have ridden fast and nave ridden far
To find and worship the King of the
Jews"
And the people answered. "You ask in
vain;
We know Of no king but Herod the
Great"
They thought the wise men were men in
Az they spurred their horses across the
plain
Like rtdess in haste who cannotsvait.
And when they came to Jerusalem
Herod the Great. who had heard this
thing.
Sent for the wise men and questioned
And said, go down into Bethlehem
And bring tidings Of this new King"

CHINA'S FUTURE OF INTEREST
Every Student Realizes the Possibili-
ties That Are Part OF Country's
Present Development.

China is tossing restlessly in her
awakening. This situation appeals to
the United States only indirectly; but

nations are waiting at her bedside,
and are guessing as to her present
pathologic condition and her outlook
for future health and strength. Com.
petent judges near at hand agree that
II China were to produce. soon, some
great leader, he would become the
center of crystallization for the sat
urated solution of loyal sentiment,
which is latent in this mighty people
Lacking such living leader the Chi
nese may call upon Confucius, and
unite the several diverse provinces
under a potent bond of religious fer
vor However the influence OF the
great ethical teacher may have waned
during the past century, he has not
become a negligible quantity, as the
recent surprising observance of his
birthday fully attests. About a week
before that date circular letter was
sent to all the governors of provinces,
setting forth the virtues of Confucius.
The intention was that this statement
should be presented to local magis-
trates, and by them be brought before
the plain people. Thus way would
be prepared for the subsequent eleva-
ton of the great and honored sage as
the true leader of the new republic.
Naturally we would expect him to be
held most highly in honor by the old
dethroned Manchu dynasty. Young
China" however, realizes that the
country greatly needs both leader
and religion, and that these two
needs could be met by revival OF
the Confucian cult probably In mod
ernized form. Twenty years ago the
sage's birthday was observed only
slightly and sporadically. but this year
there has been a widely spread and
distinctly fervent expression of pub
lie devotion to him. Decorations, pro-
cessions and public meetings are re
ported from all the provinces. Young
