. A., when he can spare the

ROCKEFELLER, John D., Jr., the little Rockefeller who will have the
fun of spending it. He was a good boy, and told other young men how

with his Dad's coin in Paris. Ambition: To be like father. Recreation:

mooser, hunter, band-wagon driver, band-wagon, Panama canal, rough
rider, circus leader, circus, down-with-rafter, and a former retired and
retiring president of the United States. When a young man he spent his
father's money by going to college, shooting lions, and raising a large
family. During the Spanish-American War he employed a troop of rough
riders, stormed San Juan Hill, and got into the newspapers. Made up
his mind he would stay there. R. became governor of New York State with
ambitions. Being a wealthy man, and capable of contributing to the cause
of the Republican party, he was elected vice-president of the United
States. A hand other than his own made him president. Here his newspaper
career really began. R. first opened a three-ring circus in the White
House, wore a rough rider hat, and told the country what a great
president he was. The voters believed him, and did not object to four
years more. During this administration R. successfully advertised
himself, the family, started the Panama Canal, and appointed one William
Howard Taft (see Poor Bill) his successor. R. then traveled through
Africa with a magnificent body guard of photographers and newspaper men.
