SAGE'S LOVE OF LUCRE.
1t Would Take More Than Dynamit,
Bomb to Make Him Part With It.

1t Would Take More Than a Dynamite
Bomb to Make Him Part With 1t.
" The man must have been lunatic TO
have approached Sage for money!" said one
of 4 group OF brokers outside the railing in
the Stock Exchange. Sage will give up
of course he will give up. but it will take
good deal more than a dynamite bomb to
make him do it.'
Did you hear the first words the old
man uttered when he crawled out from
under the plaster?"
NO"
HE said. I paid SIS for this suit OF
clothes and I've had it TWO years-and now
look at it,
He was not a bit afraid of his life, but
while in O'Connel's drugstore waiting for
the surgeon 10 attend HIM, his soul yearned
over some securities that he had left in his
private Office. and especially over an i'm
portant and JIst signed contract that was
lying upon his desk. The moment he
caught sight of one of his clerks he sent
him after the contract"
MI Sage is very cautious man, so eau
tious, in fact, that he has on more than one
occasion stood in his own light through fear
of investing in something that he might
easily have controlled, and which aft-rward
turned out well. He likes to pull in money!"
said broker, but it drives him wild to
have to pay any out. His Offices were
much talked about because of the penurious-
ness displayed in their furnishing and lie
had a system OF fines Tor his employees
which afforded much amusement to those
who did not suffer from the intl cti0n."
One venerable story, TO the truth of which
any number Of brokers will make affidavit,
is TO the effect that Sage about year ago
lost the services of an tffce-boy who had
been with him for years. 1t was one Of the
duties of this ofiice-noy each day to obtain
for Mr.. Sage a cheese sandwich, and of this
cheese sandwich the great fnancier made
his lunch. Once the boy made mess of
his assignment. III bought a good enough
sandwich, but paid 10 cents for it and
only returned 10 cents change out of
quarter. Mr.. Sage was astOunded. No such
thlrg had occurred in his Office IN twenty
five years and he fixed cold, searching eye
upon the lad as he demanded cents more.
" They charged me 10 cents for it," said
the boy.
" never heard of such extravaganza"
said Mr.. Sage. DO you think | got rich by
paying 10 cents for cheese sandwiches?
III dock cents from your salary this week,
young man, and that will be lesson to
you"
And the boy was locked. 1t was lesson
to him.. Y. Recorder.

STOLEN BY A BAND OF GYPSIES.
Return of a Michigan Youth Who Was
Abducted Ten Years Ago.


Abducted Ten Years Ago.
There was great surprise and joy in the
home of William Spencer OF New Balti-
more, Mich, recently, when young man
entered. and, after a long conversation,
succeeded in convincing the family that he
was their son, Frank, who disappeared from
home ten years ago, when only years of
age, and of whose whereabouts nothing was
known until he told his remarkable story.
The family spent hundreds of dollars in
the search for the lad, but could fHd no
trace of him, and for several years have
considered him dead.
According to Franks story he followed
band of gypsies ON the day of his disap-
pearance, and was quickly taken up by them
and made to beg in towns. He was taught
acrobatic tricks and made to perform till he,
at times, fell insensible with fatigue. He
was beaten and knocked about, and several
time recaptured.
He forgot the name of his home and
parents and though several times he told
his story to kind eope whom he met in hiss
warderings he gained no aid in escaping.
He travelled, he says, from end to end of the
country, and two years ago, while in len
nessee, managed to steal away from his
captorS and join Orrin Brothers circus.
lie Went to MaXico with this show and
remained there until six weeks ago, when he
started north. lie became stranded in Kan
sas City, where by an accident he met dis
tant relative of his mother, who told him of
her whereabouts and furnished him money
TO reach her.-Chicago Inter Ocean.

CHRISTIANS GOLDEN WEDDING.


Chance of Reconciliation Between the
Gar and the German Kaiser.
Preparations for the reception of the
sovereigns who are to attend the King and
Queen of Denmark's golden wedding, ac-
cordng to Berlin special, are going for
ward steadily.
Great things are hoped by many of the
meeting of the sovereigns in Copenhagen. 1t
is understood that Emperor William has
accepted his invitation to attend the jubi-
lee, and that the Empress and Crown
Prince will accompany him. The Gar,
CZarina and CzarO witt and the Prince and
Princess of Wales and their family are
known to have indicated their intentions to
be present. During the celebration the
Danish King plans to reconcile the es-
traDged sovereigns. and to this end he has
secured the cooperation of the Czarina.
Few persons in Berlin, however. believe
that this attempt at reconciliation will be
successful, as the old contest for social
precedence between the German Empress
and the Czarna is likely to be revived in
COpenhagea and to upset all arrangements
for a better understanding between their
husbands. Many prophesy also that before
the dar of the celebration in Copenhagen
war either will have broken out or will be
so imminent that its advent cannot be pre-
vented.

Hot Water Foot MarmerS.

A commission sent/by the directors Of
the French railways to England and
Germany to report upon the means
adopted in those countries for warming
railway carriages during the winter
finds that France has nothing to learn
from her neighbOrs in this respect, hot
water foot warmers similar to those in
use on French railways being employed
almost everywhere. On the Northern
If France railway, however, an import
ant experiment is about to be tried on a
large scale.
All carriages, even on short distance
trains, are to be warmed, and the warmth
is to be produced by means Of boxes Of
acetate of soda. The chemical is put in
q solid state into the boxes, and these
are then plunged into hot water about
100 degS. The effect is that the soda be-
zones liquid. On being taken W OF
the water the boxes are wiped dry and
are put into the carriages. BY degrees
the soda solidIfies, and as long as the
operation lasts-that is, for about five
or six hours-it gradually gives off the
heat it has absorbed in the melting pro-
cess.-LOndOn News.

Across the Continent to Marry and Didn't.

Across the Continent to Marry and Didn't
Seattle contains today a disappointed
Young couple who believe not that mar

The man is Basil SupOriska and the girl
is Miss Florence 3. BathTick, Of De halb,
Ills. They became acquainted through
correspondence resulting from the an
swering of an advertisement IN a Chicago
paper. and the acquaintance finally re-
suited in an agreement to marry It upon
meeting each was satisfied. Miss Bath
rick came out here, her eager lover met
her at Puyallup, but the wedding has not
taken place and will not. Miss Bathrick
says:

riska, but have found that lie IS not the
man | thought he was. | was led to be-
lieve that he owned about half Of Seattle
and was a capitalist. | think III go back

wanted to marry me all along, and I will
go back and take my Old beau. have
some money, and | think that is what
Suporiska is after, but luckily I did not

Popular Colors This Winter.

Il colors this season the blues are
rather gray in hue, while the grays
either have d tinge Of lavender Or lilac,
or else show a ~greenish~ hue, deepening
into mignonet O sage. The he~liOtropes
are more than ever suited to those bru-
nets who have a clear complexion, but
the woman who is unfortunate enough
to be sallow should never wear or per
init to be near her any shade Of the deli
cate hue. But the glaring emerald green
is not only at once trying, but loud, and
cannot be commended even f0rthe much
quoted lady who has tie skin of a peach.
The popularity OF black is very great.
The soft woods or mixtures of silk and
wool being shown especial favor. A
black wool gown is always refined and
ladylike. So she who can get only one
gown will be wise in choosing that it
shall be entirely in the fashion by being
black.-Ladies' Home Journal.

canine race has occurred at Jackson,
Miss. Several negro children were play
ing on the banks of Pearl river, near the
bridge, when n Of them, Robert Jack
son, a boy, about sever years old, slipped
and fell into the water. He was being
borne rapidly away by the current when
his dog, a little black setter, plunged
into the river, and, Selling the child by
the clothing, swan safely to shore with
its heavy burden. The boy was pretty
full Of water. but soon recovered and
ran home with his dog following at his
heels.-Ccr. New Orleans Times-Demo-
