So the Sleepy Hollows what a
quaint what an almost significant
name that Is set up housekeeping.
But eventually it struck some of the
nation builders who are members of
the club that the need of a golf course
had been overlooked. Club members
did not find It entertaining' to sit on
the veranda all day. long and talk
stocks and corners and the like. So
they again called upon Mr. Rockefel
ler. "Please, Mr. Rockefeller," they may
have said to him, "sell us enough land
for a golf course."
Boya Helped Oat.
Well, you know how it is. He
smiled benevolently on the Sleepy
Hollow boys.
"Certainly," he may have said.
"Just a little cash with the purchase
this time boys. 'Not much, but just
a little. An old man's idiosyncrasy,
you know."
So they bought enough of the
Elliot Shepard land to make a' golf
course, and paid him $100,000 cash.
Another mortgage for a half million
dollars was slapped on the property.
The Sleepy Hollows now owed Mr.
Rockefeller $800,000, secured "by mort
gages on the ex-Shepard estate. -It
was a wonderfful country club. The
Sunday papers carried pages about it.
Not long ago the elder Mr. Rocke
feller was discovered walkinig over
his various properties, looking like
a thousand dollars, as an earnest
member of the Sleepy Hollow Coun
try club asseverated. He had a bust
made of himself of the finest marble,
which he may or may not give to the
Sleepy Hollow club at some future
time. His eyes- were bright, his step
firm, and his interest lively In many
things. He is getting to be an old
man now very old man. He will be
81 in July. But he still functlosn
Bomewhere close to the normal of 40
years ago. At least that is what the
Sleepy Hollows say.
Too Old to Be Worried."' .
MI am getting old. my boy," Mr.
Rockefeller Is reported to have con
fided to a member of the club. The
clubman raised his hand in deprecation.
"And I'm not very well continued
Mr. Rockefeller. A look of pain
crossed the mobile features of the
banker he addressed. It became a look
of anguish as Mr. Rockefeller dream
ily added:
"So I've decided toycall in my mort
gages, my boy. Ah, yes, yes. I am
getting too old to be worried about
such things now. An old man inut
be humored, you know. I like to have
the cash."
Well, there you are. A member of
the Sleepy Hollow club, which is com
posed almost exclusively of bankers,
brokers, sentiment makers and world
builders of the most completely ut
most prominence, states that the club
men regret that Mr. Rockefeller
should have felt himself compelled to
take this step Professionally, how
ever, as dealers in money, they find
themselves forced to admire the neat
ness and dexterity of the operation.
Mr. Rockefeller is now a half million
hard, cold, emotionless dollars to the
good, which have been extracted from
men who considered themselves fairly
immune to any of the ordinary proc
esses of extraction.
"And that," observed the clubbed
gentleman who has been intermit
tently quoted, "is what the Old Mas
ter can do when he ia old and not

FOR one reason or another suicide
has always been rather popular
among Japanese women. According
to numerous stories and plays, the'
'snappy" way to "end it all" was to
pierce the jugular vein with the Jap
anese equivalent of the Italian stil-
leto, though hanping has had its
devotees, as well as a particularly
neat method of garrotlng, if that Is
the term. With the advance of civ
ilization, however, such forms of self-
destruction as jumping in front of
fast trains, drowning, asphyxiation,
poisoning and taking the leap in a
maddened motor car have claimed a
argc ehare of converts.
On the outskirts of Kobe. Japan,
there is a straight stretch of rails
where express trains go thundering
by. Alongside the tracks for eoine
distance there is a lake. This has
been a favorite spot for suicide; if
the train massed there was always
the lake. Now, however, a neat elec
trically lighted signpost stands near
the Tight of way, and it bears the
following inscription :
"If you feel that there are reasons
why you must take your life, please
go to see Mrs. Jo at the Woman's
Welfare association, just below the
Kamitsutsui terminus of the Kobe
car line."
It is asserted that the above notice
has restrained hundreds of would-be
suicides who have found comfort at
Mrs. Jo's refuge. Mrs. Jo became a
Christian 25 years ago, and, since
1916, has been successfully conduct
ing her mission, where she adminis
ters advice and assistance to unfor
tunate young womeh"
The necessity for some such cor
rective and preventive method as that
of Mrs. Jo is borne out by a. recent
article in the Japan Advertiser on the
prevalence of suicide in the "flowery
kingdom." The crater of Asama vol
cano, the high portico of te beauti
ful Klyomizu temple at Kyoto, the
Kegon waterfall at Nikko are some
of the favorite suicide spots where
guards have been stationed to restrain
those contemplating a leap into the
beyond. A certain loke at Kobe
had to be drained, so great was the
number of those who had drowned
themselves there.
"Among the principal causes given
for their contemplated suicides." says
the - Japan Advertiser, speaking par
ticularly of Japanese women, "are
the immorality, laziness or intemper
ance of husbands and fathers; family
discord, chiefly with mothers-in-law;
vanity, selfishness and bad habits of
the women themselves; loss of prop
erty, poverty, failure in business and
loss of employment; runaway mar
riages and illicit relations: divorce

Women of All Ages and 'Times
Ask your mother, aunt, grandmother, they will tell you of folks
they have knownv who were cured of the many .distressing, painful
diseases which occur in most women's lives, by taking Dr. Pierce's
Favorite Prescription, which is sold by druggists, in both fluid and
tablet form. "What women say:

a bottle of it and commenced to feel better right away and before
I had finished the second bottle was all right. Have been regular
ever since apd am as healthy as any woman.". .
Mrs. W. D. Moore, 1246 No. Jackson bt., Koseburg, Oregon,
says: "1 sunered sometning terrible, could, scarcely stand on my
feet. Aly head and back ached hawl and 1 was weak and nervous.
My legs and feet ached would bloat, and I was troubled with
constipation. I had a severe pain in my side. I took Dr. Pierce's
Favorite Prescription and Pleasant Pellets and they cured me and
I was well and -strong. Then, d'lring middle life I again took
them and got through so well." .
Mrs. R. B. Ralph, 60 Terllurfum St., Redding Calif says:
"Dr. Pierce's Fevorite Prescription is perfectly wonderful. I owe
everything to this medicine. When I was passing through middle
life I had hemorrhages, also suffered severe pain and had terrible
headaches. I suffered everything. Finally, I decided to take the
Favorite Prescription'; it stopped the headaches, the pains and
the hemorrhages. I never had any more trouble."

Some time ago the elder-Rockefeller
bought the handsome estate of
Mrs. Elliot K. Shepard. near his home
at Tarrytown. N. Y. He paid 1400,000
for it. Including a large mess of ex
travagant pasture land. He didn't
really need the property, but you
know how it is; he did it to oblige
a friend. Then he may have dropped along, and so he sold them the house

may not. One positively never can

Country club was shortly after or
ganized by Frank Vanderlip and oth
ers of the National City Bank social
circles. It was to be, so it was re

club in the world.
"But where are we to house our
selves," the new clubmen asked.

Where, indeed, but in the Shepard
