Handsome Fees.

The fees that directors of business
corporations receive range from S.
to SIS for attendance at each meet
ing. It's a fact not generally known
that there are some men in this
town who enjoy very handsome in
comes from this source alone. OF
course they are men of wealth and
high business standing, whose rep
utation for financial skill and prob
ity makes them equally sought for
as directors. Cornelius Vanderbilt,
John D. Rockefeller, or ]. Pierpont
Morgan, for instance, would be well
coined in the directory of any bust
ness corporation. Samuel D. Bah
cock, ex-president of the chamber
of commerce, has the reputation of
being director in more concerns
than any other man in New York.
Russell Sage is not far behind him.
Jay Gould might also be a multi
farious director, but of late years
he has given the greater part of his
time and attention to corporations
which he practically controls.
The president of one Of the larg-
est banks in this city said the other
day that although he was a director
in comparatively few corporations
his fees amounted to $4,000 last
wear, II know one man." said he
"whose income from directors fees
alone ranges from IS, 900 to $4,000
a year." Nearly all of the great
financial concerns pay their direct
ors $40 each for every meeting they
attend. The money is usually paid
in gold, and is handed to the di
rector as soon as he enters the
boardroom. In some cases the Gus
tom prevails of making pool al
each meeting, which is divided
among the directors in attendance
Where there are fifteen members o
board of directors $3.50 in ten-dol
lar gold pieces or crisp new notes
is placed on a plate in the center o
the directors table, and the mem
bers who are present when the meet
ing is called to order at once divid'
up the amount. If there are bu
FIVE members they each take $3(
from the plate. This method slim
ulates promptness in attending thu
meetings.-New York Times.

a long time after / came back, but
after a while the old habit came
upon me as strong as ever, and l
smoke nearly as much now as be-
fore. By fighting the appetite all

smoke in a day to about fifteen,
but often do without a cigarette

my opinion that the arsenic in the
paper or the opium in the tobacco
mixture or probably both, add
greatly to the habit fixing itself
upon one and in making the cigar

to many young men. / suppose l

lead me to, for it is nonsense to
talk about quitting. "
FEMALE VICTIMS.
The habit is becoming noticeable
among the wealthy young girls in
the cities and at boarding schools.
They usually begin by thinking it
great fun to take few puffs at the
alluring cigarette, but afterward be-
come accustomed to smoking, and
enjoy it. Many of them become
firmly addicted to the habit. 1t is
estimated that no less than 5000
women and girls in St. Louis. smoke
cigarettes. Theyvery seldomlpur-
chase them themselves, generally
sending for them. About two years
ago. it became the fad among the
wealthy young ladies in New York,
and they even went so far as to form
cigarette clubs. Society frowned it
down 80 far as public smoking is
concerned, however. The habit is
retained by great many fashion
able women in every city. The
number is now on the increase, and
the fad may break out again some
where in the near future, although
at present the young ladies do their
smoking in private or only when
surrounded by their own little
clique, all of whom are smokers

WHEN nAckAY WENT HUNGRY.

WHEN nAckAY WENT AuMeRY.
An Incident In q Bonanza Kings
Early Days of Poverty.
John w. .Mackay once worked a
claim that turned out failure. He
had scarcely any supplies left. He
sat in his lonely cabin one rainy
night supperless reading by his last
tallow candle a work on mineralogy
which he had borrowed from a lord
ly and surprised engineer. Above
the noise of the storm came 5 knock
at the door. Andy Hepworth,
keeper of the All Souls saloon at
Thompson's Bar staggered in. His
stagger was caused byseveral things.
One of them was a lot of his own
whisky, which was near his skin;
the others were two sides of bacon
and a sack of -four, which weighted
his shoulders and hands.
"John," he said, "you never spent
dollar over my bar at the camp
and that shows your good sense.
But the boys tell me you're in hard
luck, and l know man when l see
one. Here's something to keep you
going" And he threw on the rough
floor the sack of -four and two sides
of bacon. He retained the whisky.
It was a good many years later
when Mackay had become a rich
man, that he again met Hepworth,
gone in health, crushed in spirits,
lounging among the crowd of hope
less ones who hang like flies about
the bunghole of the stock market,
sugarless for them.
"Hullo, Andy" cried John, de-
lighted. Sd
"You don't mean to say you re-
member me-" said the broken man.
"Remember you p laughed the
millionaire. "You bet I do, and
that -four and bacon, too. Broker"
Flat" ss -
81 carry you a hundred of Con.
Virginia. -
Good enough, John. You've
rescued me from hell. When shall
| sell?"
"When l tell you"
But he wouldn't sell when he was
told, and Mackay had to pay the
loss.
This thing happened three times.
Then the millionaire put his arm
through Hepworth's and took him
up to his office one day.
"Andy," he said seriously, "has
whisky got you, or can you let it
alone?"
ayes, l can"
Honest Injun?"
"Straight."
"And when the fever gets hold Of
you you won't listen to me or any
body else.
"All right. There's no use in try
ing to help you in stocks. You're
gambler. All Souls was first
rate saloon and you knew how to
run it. That's your forte. I'll send
Dick Dey out to find good place
and you put yourself behind the
bar. Come back in two days
$3.50 p. NJ"
At the hour appointed Mr.. Dey
and Hepworth were there.
"Here," said Mr.. Mackay, draw
ing a check there's $40, 600 Andy.
Dick struck Al place on Market
street. You can buy it and have
something left to stand. a run of
barasca if need be. Keep the bot
tie for other folks and you'll be all
right. If you don't-but / hope
you will for your own sake. And
don't you ever forget, Andy, that
-four and bacon will always be a
draft at sight for grub stake"
I'm happy to say that the new
All Souls is a success; that Andy
is as temperate as a parson, and
thst he has done the manly thing
and paid back every cent of that
$40, 600 out of less virtuous mems
pockets. If you don't believe it,
ask Dick Dey.-Ex.

It came out that the proprietor of
