Rockefeller once,” said a well-known landscape gardener of this city. “One morning J was out in tho grounds doing some work among the plants and flowers, end as I worked I smoked. | Pretty socn the old man strolled out that way and when he came up to where I was, said in a quiet way: ‘I never had any money to burn.’ I didn’t tumble for a second, and he stcod there looking at. -me. ‘I-have managed to put away a_ few dollars,’ he continued, ‘but I never had any money to burn.’ It came to | 1 at once what he meant and 1 w the cigar away.
