Rockefelier Takes Life Free<lb />and Easy.<lb /><lb />-I never saw a man take life less<lb />seriously than John D. Rockefeller.<lb />He bas an easy way of saying and<lb />doing things that appeals to the<lb />esthetic nature. That $1,000,000<lb />suit brought by Lon Merritt is not<lb />costing him a wink of sleep. Noth-<lb />ing worries him, not all his millions.<lb />At times I have known John to seem<lb />dull. I have known people to take<lb />him for a soft, slow, stupid fellow<lb />instead of the hard, gliding, firm,<lb />rocky fellow that he is. He once<lb />had an employe, a nervous, irritable<lb />young man, full of his own impor-<lb />tance, but, withal, a capable clerk.<lb />He occupied an office in which there<lb />was one of those pulling and lifting<lb />machines, and regularly every<lb />morning, about nine, when he was<lb />immersed in figures or correspond:<lb />ence, a small, black-mustached man,<lb />quiet and diffident in manner, en-<lb />tered, said ~~good morning,� walked<lb />on tiptoe to the corner and exer-<lb />cised for a quarter of an hour. It<lb />became a bore to the clerk, who at<lb />last, unable to stand it longer, re-<lb />marked, with considerable heat and<lb />fireworks, to the tnoffensive but<lb />annoying stranger: ~~How do you<lb />expect me to do my work properly<lb />while you are fooling with that ma-<lb />chine? [I'm getting tired of it.<lb />Why don't you put it where it won't<lb />worry @ person to death?� The<lb />stranger replied with ablush: ~I<lb />am very sorry if it annoys you. I<lb />will have it removed at once.� A<lb />porter took it away within an hour.<lb />A few days later the clerk was sent<lb />for by Mr. Flagier, whom he found<lb />in earnest conversation with the<lb />small, black-mustached man. The<lb />latter smiled at seeing him, gave<lb />Flagler some instructions and left<lb />the room. ~~Will you tell me who<lb />that gentleman is?� the young man<lb />asked, a light beginning to break<lb />upon him. ~~That was Mr. Rock-<lb />efeller,� was the reply. With a<lb />gasp for breath, the clerk staggered<lb />back to his office to think. It was<lb />his first acquaintance with the<lb />Standard Oil magnate. "N.
