of land were burned oyer.

HOW JOHN ID. MADE HIS MONEY

Ter
1t isn't necessary to go into the oil
business. This phase of the "OI Kings"
history has been exaggerated Rookie
Teller got his start in oil, but it was not
oil that made his immense fortune for
him.
Contrary to the general opinion"
Rockefeller interests. Mr.. Rockefeller
hasn't made as much money in oil as
Mr.. Carnegie made in steel"
Carnegie. then. really had a better
chance than Rockefeller, starting with
his basic fortune And why did he not
multiply that fortune as his more fam
Gus contemporary has done?
The answer is, because Carnegie was
not an investor, aud that Rockefeller. as
the business man quoted above says, had
"A genius for Investments He also
had a genius for organization; but so
did, Carnegie. 1t was the shrewd invest
ment of the money he made in his own
special line of development that made
him the richest man in the world.
Investment is a great game. The
world today is full of opportunities as
great. perhaps. as any that Rockefeller
ever had. 1t is legitimate field, for
money in this capitalistic age is as nee
essary for industry as are labor and ma

What Would You Have DOnee

\ fair young maid, all unafraid
Was walking down the street:
She struck some ice, so smooth and nice
And up went both her feet.
The most of her was clothed in fur
That set off well her form.
But to her knees twas Just the breeze
And pride that kept her warm.
When she went down little frOwn
Did gather on her face.
As passerS by did cast an eye
Upon her resting place.
a gallant lad. pride of his dad
Assisted her to rise
And got her thanks-0h, glorious thanks
In glances from her eyes.
Her smile was sweet as on her feet
She once again did pose:
He brushed off Snow-I'll say twas so.
From all but just her hose
His face got red, he hung his head:
You know just how he felt;
He raised his hat and Stammered that
He thought the rest would melt.
