There was no strategy required—letters of introduction, You just go right up to the front door, touch the button, hand your card to the doorkeeper and say: | “Tell Mr. Rockefeller I'm here.” That's all Tt comes to you when you first see him that here is a man fiving a | forced life of pleasant and lonesome ease. I wonder ff he really enjoys any | partofit? He plays golf by himself, He's got 6,000 acres of beautiful Bud. | son River hills, blazing just now with the glory of gold-red and green foliage. And over all this land of beauty you cannot hear the volce-of a child, This lone man even complains and worries when little chaps shake his trees and run away with pockets bulging with his chestnuts. Why, he forgets his boyhood days! But, did he ever have a real boyhood? Wouldn't you picture, a bit of furniture, rare china, trips to Burope, a palabe in some think he'd keep young by organizing bands $f small chaps and let them | place, yachts, moving around and mixing in with his tribe of fellow men, raid his orchards Just for the fun of the thing?

As he comes in froth the golf fleld famished as one of his laborers, and with the weight of his hundreds of millions bending him over, wouldn't the sight of corned beef” and cabbage, all cooked together in a big pot with potatoes, make him young again? Crackers and milk! And for a change, milk with some” crackers! After all, the man {s really human, Ilke most of us. And his heartris kinder than we know, Ever since the wig came there's been a smile on his, face, In his walks abroad he's been known to say “Howdy?” to nelghbors and strangers.
