DRINKING BAR TO SUCCESS
SAYS YOUNG ROCKEFELLER

NEW YORK, Jan .IS-"Y Dung
men who want to get on in the world
do not drink nowadays" said John
d. Rockefeller. Jr., to the Bible class
Of the Fifth Avenue Baptist church
today. Great corporations will not
employ men who drink
Mr.. Rockefeller told the members
of the class that his grandfather and
his father never touched Intoxicating
liquor and were total abstainers as a
matter OF principle. and that he him.
self had followed their example. His
advice and suggestions as to clean liv-
ing and as to what every young man
can do toward mitigating the social
evil was heard with keen interest by
two hundred members of the class.
Setting Ldfe's Standards.
Young Mr.. Rockefeller's address
was on the subject, Setting LIES
Standards"
ITO quote the words of another
said Mr. Rockefeller. 'iet me remind
you that success consists of doing
the common things of life uncommon
ly WE'LL There is one thing more
That ~ will. II a man Ia unwilling
to DO small tasks, and do them well.
he ought not be permitted to do big
tasks. and II he ts permitted mis-
takeniy he Is most certain to fail.
The power Of application Is essential
in all standards"
Mr.. Rockefeller believed that rich
men should feel that their money IL
not theirs to use for their own pleas
ure, but for the public and private
good OF others
Those who have lots Of money
have. however, no more reason to
feel this way" he said. than those
who have small fortunes or only a
little money. save In relative meas
ure. 1t Is important that the man
who can give a dollar should realize
his obligation to give the same as the
man or woman who can give mil
lion.
Differing Talents.
Christ recognized that men were
possessed of differing talents contin-
ued Mr.. Rockefeller Many a man
does not seem to have discovered his
own talent. The thing to do Is to
jump in somewhere. Perhaps the
very thing you, think You cannot do
is the one thing you can do best. All
sorts Of people came to see Jesus, and
he gave no lesson more forcibiy than
the one that man is to be judged

SUGGESTIONS TO THEATREGoERs
Col. w. Franklin Riley of the Shee-
han Opera Co, Gives Few Su2-
gestions ON Enthusiasm.

1t is suggested, in all good faith
and with no intention of giving
smart advice, that the habitual pat
rons of the Grand opera house, and
also the chance frequenters of that
place of entertainment, should, when
pleased at a song, or gesture, or
speech of anyone upon the stage,
bring the forearm up until at right
angles with the upper arm, make use
of the ball and socket joint placed
conveniently in this neighborhood,
and cause the aforesaid forearms to
swing inward, still preserving the
right angle. Have the hands in pro-
per position with open palms so that
the swinging motion of the arms will
bring the palms together. Repeat
the motion several times in quick
succession, gathering sufficient mo-
mentum to bring the hands together
with an audible whack. Concen-
trate the mind on the fact that this
feat is being performed because of
an individual qualification to an in
dividual qualification to an individual
taste that can decide without the re-
straining or impelling assistance of
the audience, and the momentum
will increase. The result is a mark
lof genuine appreciation expressed in
perfectly we'll bred fashion and
carrying to the occupants of the
stage the knowledge that they are
in congenial atmosphere where
their best effort will be appreciated
A cold, critical audience is reflected
in a performance which lacks the
fire and enthusiasm usually display
ed and the after feeling all around
is disappointing.
Think this matter over and admit
it's reasonableness. And then resolve
not to take half the evening to de-
eide that the actors are worth your
honest support. If they are good you
can surely find it out in a very few
minutes, and then give that elbow
| joint free rein. If the performance,
is so poor it is not deserving of sin
gle handclap-at the conclusion o.
the first act quietly and unostentati
ously gather up your wraps and de
part.
