AMERICAN CAPITALISTS. A San Francisco paper has the following humorous remarks concerning capitalists:— Joseph cornered all the wheat, Good boy, Joseph! People simply have to eat, Good boy, Joseph! li you’re hungry, bring your muu; Gee! Philanthropy is fun— When you’ve got the people s skuu, Good boy, Joseph! —Poeantica Psalnilets.
John G. Shoekafeller was born without wisdom tooth, but soon manuged to cut them on a ring, and since then Jig lias never been without a ring —always within. ■ While other boys born at the same timo were spending their days m boing young, John G. Shockaiellcr was making money. Ho had no youth, which is a pleasant thing to remember, but a poor thing to offer as security for a loan. No one over called John G. Shockfoller by any such wastrel name as “Jack” ; lie was always addressed by the name affixed to Ins cheques. Even his nurse, before he fired her as a non-producing laborer, called her charge John G. Shoclcafoller. • It would be impossible to tell within the limits of a short sketch how John G. Shoekafeller got his money. Furthermore, it wouldn’t be nolitc. Enough that he got so much that ho founded a university in a western town, and has since indulged largely in the dissipation of feeding the institution. . ' . _ Almost at the same time John G. Shoekafeller became recognised as a “menace to the Republic,” he became bald, and took to golf. Exposure followed upon the first, a wig upon the second, and a strain on religious training on the third. Exposed, John G. fehockafellei had reached a high pinnacle upon the mountain of success. A cell seemed a possibility—the crowning glory of a financier, the visible token that lie has been successful. But John G. Shoekafeller was modest. He didn t want a cell when others more worthy had been denied it. So he told his son to say ho didn’t know where lie was, and to square himself by teaching others not to lie, and then lnd away from the public. Golf‘is now John G. Shoekafeller s favorite game. He can’t play it, and so gets the other fellow in the hole, when he smiles like an adding-mach-ine. An envious man of moderate means recently remarked that millionaires seldom smile. The falsity of this is easy to prove. Go up to John G. Shoekafeller and quietly whisper in his ear “Rebate.” Thou pipe the grin.
