Russell Sage on Money.

A visitor in Russell Sage's Office the
other day asked the great fnancier
what fun there was in making money
more than he could use.
MERELY the pleasure of successful
competition, he said. Just the same
pleasure that boy experiences in run
ming faster and climbing higher than
his mates. There are other ways of
surprising that | should think would
give even more of this sort of gratlfi-
cation-being the greatest poet, or the
greatest artist, or the greatest inven-
tor, or the greatest scientific author
ity."
Then there is no pleasure in the
mere possession OF money!"
What do you mean by the mere
possession?' he replied. winning
the money and keeping it when all the
rest of the fellows are trying to get it
is just the successful competition l was
speaking of. Money in itself has no
power of comforting pleasure, of course,
any more than so much mud. 1t is
the knowledge of what money will do
that gives pleasure.
Are you rich enough, Mr.. Sage?"
cam l? Why, yes. l have a great
deal more money than need and don't
really want any more"
why don't you 90 out of business,
then?"
Because there is nothing else that l
want to do. | don't care about horse
racing or yachting. | don't want to
travel. New York l like better than
Paris, and Broadway is good enough
for me. In fact, Id rather stay at No.
II Broadway and guess on the prices
of things than anywhere else in the
world. "-NelO York Mail.

A Joke on Hannibal HaIniin.

An incident of the Grand Army de-
partment camp fire in Portland, FRI
day night, illustrates the fondness OF
the old soldiers for joking, and the
equality between members that charac-
terize their annual gatherings
The venerable ex-Vice-President
Hannibal Hamlin as honored guest
and mos distinguished person present,
was one of the speakers of the even
ing. His address was an easy, off
hand talk, mainly upon the progress
and great developments in science
and the arts that characterize the
present century. In the course of it,
he said speaking of the telephone:
"And yet, perhaps, more marvellous
than all is that little instrument which
puts US in communication with those
we love a hundred miles away. My
wife and your wives have tongues, as
it were, a hundred miles long, and if
by that little thing of a telephone |
was in communication with my good
wife at the present moment, l should
hear her saying: Hannibal, be
careful and not catch cold.
An hour or SO after this, when the
memory of Mr.. Hamlin's address had
been partly obliterated by speakers
who had followed him. Past-Com-
mander Sawyer raped to order and
announced a telephone message from
Bangor. All eyes turned in the direc-
ton of the venerable Bangor states
man where he sat surrounded by a
bevy of young ladies who were i'm
portuning him for autographs. Mr..
Sawyer, continuing, said: Ladies
and gentlemen, we have received a
telephone message from Bangor. 1t
says: Hannibal. don't firt with the
girls The applause that followed
drowned his reply.-LeUtSton me.
