Rockefeller Enjoys This.

When he was motoring Mr. Rockefeller was a random story-teller and joker. He once told me that if he could not tell stories and could not: joke he would have been dead years ago. To illustrate his taste in' stories and fun, let me recall a few.' Here is one Mr. Rockefeller credited' to one of his New York lawyers: A farmer was driving a team of horses with a heavy load up a steep! hill. Down the hill came a man in a! a little buggy and cried out; “If, you do not turn out for me I will servei you the same as I did another man I! passed back yonder.”. At this the farmer with the heavyj load tbrned out. When the other mam had passed the farmer stopped his* horses and called after him: “Hey, what did you do to the other fellow 1 back there?” “Oh,’’ was the answer, “I turned out| for him.” This story of a successful! bluff.seemed to tickle Mr. Rockefeller 1 hugely.—American Magazine.
