John D. Rockefeller i the one man who Andrew Carnegie says Is wealth ier Hwn himself. No other man ever accumulated as much money a tms man: he started wtth little and still ha year ct activity in front of him. John Davidson Rockefeller was born In Rlchford. X. Y., July . 1SS9. Hi parents were not wealthy, and he had no better advantages than any Ameri can boy who gets a common scnooi education. When he was fourteen hi parents moved to Cleveland, and he attended school there for a couple of years. He was not considered par ticularly bright pupil, and he left school early to begin business life. In .'business he was a success from the Of Choicest Fresh audi first moment He Started In as a clerk Cured...... Jin a commission house, and when only ' nineteen year of age became a part ner In the Arm of Clark A Rockefeller, commission merchants. He always made money. When he was twenty six years old he was a man of com fortable wealth. It was then, in 1S65, that he decided to go Into the oil busi ness. Associated with hi brother Wil liam, as William Rockefeller & Co., he built the Standard OH Works at Cleveland In 1SS5. and from this start. not particularly ambitious, has been built up a business that is the wender of the business , world corporation that controls the oil market cf the en tire earth. , Business men have discussed much the question of h.w the Sttrdard Oil Company was built up to Us present position of enormous wealth Rod pow er, and John D. Roeaefeuar bas un dertaken to explain how It was done. The explanation is very Interesting. "I ascribe the success' of the Stand ard," he says, "to Its consistant pol icy to make the volume of fcs busi ness large through the merits and cheapness of Its product. It has sir ed no expense In finding, securing and utilising the best and cheapest meth ods of manufacture. : .It has sought for the -best superintendents and workmen, and paid beat wages. It has not hesitated to sacrifice old machin ery and old plants for new and better ones. It has placed Ha manufactories at the points where they could supply markets at the least expense. It has not only sought markets for Us pro ducers but of all possible by-products, sparing no expense .m Introducing them to the public. It has not hesi tated to Invest millions of dollars In methods for cheapening the gather ing and distributing or oils, by pipe lines, special cars, tank steamers and tank wagons. It has erected tank sta tions at every important railroad sta tion to cheapen storage and delivery of it products. It has spared no ex pense in forcing its products into the markets of the world, among people civilised and uncivilized. It has had faith in American oil, and brought together millions for the purpose of making It .what it is, and holding the markets against the competition of Russia and all the many countries which are producers of oil and com petitors against American oil." Some other men's explanations of the success of the Standard Oil Com pany have been different very dif ferent; but of course John D. Rocke feller knows more about It than any one else., No man In business was ever more successful in running over and run ning out competitors than John D. Rockefeller, but it was never because he had a feeling against bis business rivals. He never had any feeling in business except the "business Instinct" -the business Instinct that does not know men at ail, but considers every thing as simply a "business proposi tion." He Is a man who never can for a moment get awav from h "huiA- ness" that has been his whole life. In little things he shows the manner of business man he Is. One summer evening coming from a prayer meeting at the Fifth avenue Baptist church, of which he is a mem ber, he joined four young people at the door, and, walking down the street with the, invited them to step Into a drugstore and Join him in a glass of soda. Then he took from his pocket a little book, and made the entry, "soda water, 50 cents." This was probably intended simply a a lesson to the young people who were with him. He takes a great interest in church work, and Is a firm believer in starting the young out into Ufa with the Bible, Pilgrim's Progress and Poor Richard' Almanac. His busi ness ideas have always been new, but in his private life he is vhat his father was and his grandfather before him and, Incidentally, k might be mentioned that his son Is the same manner of man as (himself. The richest man in the world gets very little pleasure out of life in the sense that pleasure is generally under stood. He has few friends under the head of "personal." He I reserved and unapproachable. One day last. summer driving down to the station near his country home Mr. Rocke feller paused to notice the young gifl who wa telegraph operator.' He ask ed her If she could get away for a I time, She could and he took her driv ing. The girl said she never had a mors charming rids. She doe not think Rockefeller a hauty ori a purse-proud man. . f. . ! The. fact that he Is th richest of men t not what makes Mr. Rocks feller exclusive. He is naturally a man of modesty. He lias a contempt for display, and no on can ever ac cuse Mm of Indulging In th vulgar ostentation of acme who are very rich. He cares nothing at all for society: he s not a club man nor a yachtman. and Is not known as patron of either inuslo or art. He gives libs rally to colleges and churches. He has given many millions to the 1'nlverstty of Chicago and other colleges, and many churches and charities have benefit! by tils generosity. H ha said of giving that the best thin about It was being able to induce othvr to give, n.V h,t ... .. lavuiue wy or making a donation Is to make It provisional up on a certain other sum being secured. In -this way he has secured for th in stitutions he has favored millions of dollars besides what he has given himself. , Th world owe no man living, ac cording to Mr. Rockefeller's honest be lief, but every man owe it to the world, that h get busy and make a living for htntself. Rockefeller has no use for drone, whether they are rich or poor. That he should have made hundreds of million doe not seem In h least strange to hlta-h work M for them. He la still work In Wtth hm Idleness is sin. He does not subscribe to Mr. Carnegie-' idea that a man who dies rich dies dis graced. He believes that to be good is to be Industrious and to be indus trious is to grow rich: therefore to be rich in life or In death Is very honor able: and In the honor of wealth John IX Rockefeller Is tile most honorable of men. lifted from til mind. Th day was full of happiness for the president and Mr Roosevelt and forfait who were at th Infirmary or , near th school grounds. t SHOT THROTOH THW HEART. John 3.
