How to get Rich.
The " New York World " publishes John D. Rockefeller's recipe for getting rich : — " It always has been my rule in business to make everything count something. I never go into an enterprise unless I feel sure that it is coming out right. For instance, a promising scheme may be proposed to me. It don't altogether satisfy me, and 1 reject it. My brother Will would probably go into it, and make io.ooo dollars. Another equally promising scheme comes along. He goes into that and loses 10,000 dollars. The result is he hasn't made any advancement, and he has been losing time. Meanwhile, in some surer enterprise, I have made, say 5000 dollars in the same time the other cellow has made and lost twice that imount. I believe the only way to succeed is to keep getting ahead all the time."
