Rockefeller jrives advice or anything else except a million dollars or so. lJut now he has done that very thing. There is a proverb that nothing is j;iven so profusely as advice, but Rockefeller has been real stingy hereto fore with advice. Now he has opened up his heart and here is what he says: "The world needs above all els< co-operation. A new world is to l>? founded. The men of this generation are entering into a heritage which makes their fathers' lives look poverty-stricken by comparison. Vou need only to steer the straight course, to apply youreslves assiduously to th< task, to use your imagination, youi sympathy, your best judgment, and success must be yours." In times past it is alleged that cooperation and coal oil did not mix . II I...1 1 I I -I .1 ? VI j ?>V-J I. JIIUVVU It IUIM UCITII t that the Standard Oil Company not only refused to co-operate with otht i oil companies but actually ran them out of business. l>ut iet by uones be by dories, if John I), is going to live up to his own wise counsel. "Steering a straight course," pro. vuled you don't run over anybody b all right; "applying yourselves assidu ously" is fine if you don't try too hard to beat the other fellow; "use youi imagination" but don't imagine you are the whole thing; "use your symapthy"; that's splendid if you sympathize with those who most need sympathy; use "your best judgment" is good always and John I), certainly used his or he would not be the master of millions that he is. It is said that young Mr. Koekefcllei explained to his Sunday school class why it was right for the Standard Oil Company to crush the small'competitor in this way. Me said that Hur bank, in order to make a perfect ros< .sacrificed thousands of smaller and iii !' rior ni. i'S, so in order to build U| a great oil company the smaller oil companies had to be sacrificed. Ii that case the smaller companies would like something ^besides sympathy to atone for their being swallowed up ONE ON THE GEORGIA SOLON*, Here is a good joke on the Georgia legislature that has adjourned af ter a strenuous session. One of th< big jobs the Georgia statesmen I'ecid ed they would tackle was the defeat of the Woman Suffrage amendment Notwithstanding the fact that other States, one after another, through their legislatures, were ratifying the Woman Suffrage amendment, the Georgia solons were obdurate and se in their purpose to defeat, so far as the "cracker" was concerned, Woman . uffrage. 1 he State Senate pasesd a resolu' ori against the Susan JL Anthony Amendment and trasnrnitted it to th house. About the name time lh< house passed a similar resolution and transmitted it to the Senate. Here where the joke comes in. It hapoed that neither of the separate ] - solutions was signed by the presint of the Senate nor by the speaker i the House. Ir order to be effecie they should have been joint resoi ions of both houses, signed by tin's.dent and speaker of the o bodies. So the legislature ad <tufied without the resolutionreaching the Governor. Now, before the opposition to the Suffrage resolution can be effective it must come up in the legislature next y< ir and by that time a change y emu- O'.er th" spirit of the i of the <# >r g.a solon It you want to make .. oi,;ju legislator mad ask him whj he could not pass a resolution to re joct Woman Suffrage.

I' In case uny reader should doubt he veracity of this narrative, - the iroof submitted near its end should :>e sufficient to dispel all doubts. The name of the kindly faced kine s Grace. She is a resident of Chesterfield, having for some time had her abode in the rear of the residence of Mr. Tommy Hunt. Grace is noted for her even disposition as well as for the quantity and quality of her lacteal fluid, which she dispenses twice daily in return fur certain grains, brans ,mashes and grasses. However, since hot weather ind fly-time Grace lias developed a ironeness to obstinacy, that would not be amiss in a Tennessee mule and it is this peculiarity, as well us the more commendable traits, mentioned heretofore, that have a decided influence on this incident. A short time ago Grace formed the habit of lea'ving her customary grazing ground and climbing the fill to he C. & 1.. tracks, near her domicile. She could not he blamed for his, as the grass wan lots longer between the rails of this husy transportation line than any place else, at least any place else that Grace knew ibout. This habit caused more or Iom* uneasiness in the Hunt household, particlarly as it was very diflicult to ell at what hour of the day the tenthirty tain might breeze by. A close' watch was kept and several times I'ommy managed to shue her ofT the track just in ttmu t<? prevent some of he neighbors from fulling into conniption fits with apprehension, for hey all loved Grace. On a certain bright morning not long since, Grace, the worst side of her disposition coming to the fore, passed completely through a barbed viro fence, in order, presumably, to ret from where she was to where she was going. She emerged from this ontaet wjth several slight cuts in nost parts of her exterior anatomy and a look that semnied to say, "You ought to svu the renew. I ommy, bong ?* veteran and something of u veterinarian, patched her up with tow arnica, or whatever they use, intil he came to her fly swatter. ? his useful although troublesome, apdiance, would not remain in statue (uo for sullicient periods for Tommy to apply the panacea. Whereupon he picked uo a piece of red flannel, saturated it with the medicine, tied t to Grace's tail and called it a diiy. Grace was taken to some tall grass tnd became much attached to a railroad tie, by means of a piece of rope. Tommy then betook him to the post office to wait for the mail, little dreaming that Grace had developed one of her contrary spells and-was completely disregarding the tie that hinds. Determining to once more enjoy the luscious grasses that grew on the dangerous path of the iron horse, she snapped the rope and se vered her attachment, mounting to the railroad at a few single leaps, .here to turn her hack upon the approaching (en-thirty and peacefully ibsorb great oodles of what is probably known to her as cow-ice-cream ?r cow-cake, but which, in this and idjoining counties is sometimes dosgnated as General Green.
