Mr. J. D. Rockeller, Jr., is a very
religious man. To remove any
possible doubjb on this point, it is
only necessary to attend his Bible
class and hear him prove that
there is room even for trust mag
nates in the kingdom of Heaven.
Mr. Rockefeller, Sr., is even more
religious than his son. Scoffers’
are respectfully referred to in the
following interesting; statement,
which the latter is reported to
have made in Cleveland, Ohio,,
several days ago:
“I was born in Richford. N. Y.
There was no religion in Richford.
When I was 8 years old I moved
to a town made lip largely of God
fearing people. That was a reve
lation to mo. I shudder to think
what I would have been had'I-re
mained in Richford all my life.
There are so many men who hunt
a little, fish a little and drink
whisky a little, and only attain a
little success in life, and all for
the lack of a little religion.”
And one of Mr. Rockefeller’s
listeners who hung upon his
words, exclaimed: “I can’t help
thinking what a loss it would
have been to the world if you had
remained in that town.”
It is a pity that these facts were
not brought out before the Tarbell
history of the Standard Oil Com
pany was written. In that case
the author would not have misun
derstood Mr. Rockefeller’s meth
ods in business. When he brought
to their knees, crushed and tram
pled the small fry who wore in his
way, he would” not have been
charged with cruelty and greed,
but it would have been seen that
he was.’really governed by religious
motives and the desire for the
good of mankind. Sweet are the
uses of adversity. It is good for
proud man to be humbled, Thus
we see how Mr. Rockefeller could
trample upon his puny,oompeti-

tors with a clear conscience, re
garding himself as a chosen in
strument in the hand of Provi
dence.
Very unkind things have been
said about Mr. Rockefeller be
cause he raised the price of oil
150 per cent, last winter at a time
when the poor in the Northern
cities were largely dependent on
it for fuel owing to the coal fam
ine. Some may think that it is
better to “hunt a little, fish a lit
tie, drink whiskey a little and on
ly attain a little success in life,’
than to force millions from the
pockets of the poor in a time, of
trouble. But this only shows how
the workings of Mr. Rockefeller’
religious mind are misunderstood
People who have religion are free
from the lust of gain, and when
Mr. Rockefeller cornered oil dur
ing the coal famine we can rest
assured that he did it not in order
to make millions, but because of
his enthusiasm for the great truth
that men, especially poor men, are
purified through suffering,
The building ereoted at the
St. Louis Exposition for its great
agricultural exhibit is the largest
structure on the grounds, costing
1800,000. The structure is 600
feet wide by 1,600 feet long. The j
first group is farm equipment, |
and methods for improving landjjj
This means specimens of various
systems of farming, plans and
models of farm buildings, the
general arrangement and equip
ment of the farm, aud applianoes
and methods in use in agrioultur-
engineering, i. e., machinery,
draining, irrigation and similar
improvement schemes.
Without a fair knowledge of
agricultural chemistry, the farm
er of to-day is not fully equipped
for the fight with the land. At
St. Louis he will be able to com
pare notes, for he will see the re
sults of Btudy and practice about
soil aud water, charts, census of
auimals, a history of agriculture
in its successive ohanges, and of
the fluctuations in the prioes of
and, rents, labor, crops, animal
products and live stock. Institu
tions, co-operative societies, com
munities and associations that
deal with or take part in expert
ments and the? advancement of
farming will be shown,
The great bay, or central por
tion of the .Palace of A^rioulture
will be reserved for special demon
stratioriB in the more important
crops—corn, cotton, tobacco, the
straw growing cereals and sugar,
which are designed to fully com
prehend all that pertains to them ;
to faithfully epitomize, all these
crops, including the tools and im
plements used in the preparation
of the soil, in the cultivation,har
vesting aud marketing, in the
transforming or manufacture of
these crops into marketable prod
ucts and by-products. These fea
tures have never heretofore been
demonstrated at any exposition,
and they here revolutionize the art
of exhibing agricultural products.
Specially broad and comprehen
sive are the displays and illustra
tions of the products of the cow.
All that iB modern and pertinent
in construction, equipment and
management of dairies, creamer
ies and cheese making will be am
plified and shown in the most en
tertaining manner.

The late Cornelius Vanderbilt
is quoted as having said to a
friend just before he died:
“I don’t see what good it does
me—all this money that you say
is mine. I can’t eat it ; I oan’t
spend it; in fact, I never saw it,
and never had it in my hands for
a moment. I dress no better
than my private secretary, and
cannot eat as much as my coach
man. I live in a big servants’
boarding-house, am bothered to
death by beggars, have dyspep
sia, and most of my money is in
the handB of others, who use it
mainly for their own benefit.”
And yet men who are worth
millions of dollars work by day
and by night to get millions
more. Verily, as the prophet of
old hath said: “He that loveth
silver shall not be satisfied with
silver, nor he that loveth abun
dance with increase. When goods
inorease they are increased that
eat them, and what good is in
them to the owners thereof—sav
ing the beholding of them with
their eyes.
Mr Vanderbilt had money un
til he was “disgusted with it;”—
he had more than he needed and
more than he could possibly use
and yet he kept on increasing his
riches as if he neeeded more mon
ey than he had.
Therefore, by this thought the
lesson is taught that, “one may
have too much of, a good thing in
this life.”
And Mr. Vanderbilt while be 1
lived and walked among men was
not in a class by himself, but was
only one of a great many men
who had more than they knew
what to do with in the way of
riches. Nor are all theaq men
now dead,many, are living to-day,
and in the same fix in which Mr.
Vanderbilt found himself when
he said that he had more money
than he needed.
Prof. Curie now announces the
amazing fact that the change in
the rate of heat emission of ra
dium within the comparatively
short distanoe of absolute zero is
exactly in the opposite direction
to what might be expected in view
of the effect of low temperatures
on ordinary chemical actiou, for
at the temperature necessary to
liquify hydrogen, the greatest cold
yet secured by scientists, the heat
emission of ridium, instead of be
ing reduced, is augmented.
Stepped Against a Hot Stove
A child of Mrs. Geo. T. Benson,
when getting his usual Saturday
night bath, stepped back against
a hot stove, which, burned him se
verely. The child was in great
agony and his mother could do
nothing to pacify him. Remem
bering that she had a bottle of
Chamberlain’s Pain Balm in the
house, she thought-she would try
it. In lass than half an hour after
applying it the child was quiet
and asleep, and in less than two
weeks was well. Mrs .‘Benson is a
well-known resident of Kellar,
Va. Pain Balm is an antiseptic

Doesn’t Respect OW1 Age.
It’s shameful when youth fails
to show proper respect for old age,
but just the contrary in the case
of Dr. King’s New Life Pills.
They cut off maladies no matter

age. Dyspepsia, Jaundice, Fever,
Constipation all yield to this per
fect pill. 25c at Holtzclaw’s Drug

then until six in the morning.
