was denounced az liar, members took
each other by the throat, and one OF the
tellers drew revolver. A detachment
of police was called in, and the pastor s

Yet there Is At least one man who

to accommodate his customer. Hhen

But there is one thing to be said about
Sage. Hyou spend dollar on him
you are almost sure to make SlO, ana II

If anybody had the pluck to spend
few hundred and buy him o horse or
something of that sort, he would make
his fortune, provided the Old man did
not jump the game altar he got the
horse.
Mr.. Sage is supposed to bs worth
SEC, ,000, 600, and his fortune was accumu-
lated solely TO the details OF all husi- |
ness transactions. He Is one Of the
thirty New Workers. whose joint wealth
is estimated at over one thousand mil
