MIR. sage Cuts or a Nephew.

There Is a rumor in Wall street,
writes the New York correspondent OF
the Cincinnati Enquirer, that Russell
Sage has changed his will. Mr.. Sage
has 800, 100000, according to the income
tax returns, to distribute to his heirs.
1t is understood that he made his will
several years ago. He included In the
requests his young relative Charles
Chaplin. Mr.. Chaplin is a newspaper
writer. 1t occurred to him few days
after Lunatic NorcrOss had failed in
his purpose to blow up Uncle Russell
that it would be a good thing to call
on the old gentleman and write him
up.
At that time Mr. Sage was supposed
to be knocked all to pieces. Mr.. Cha
pin found his relative in very good
health and was so pleased that he went
down to his office and wrote two-col-
umn article describing just how Mr.,
Sage looked.
This was we'll enough at the time.
Mr.. Sage never dreamed then that he
would be put on the gridiron of Mr..
Choate's cross-examinatiOn. The arti-
Gle which Mr.. Chaplin wrote was of
great advantage to Mr.. Choate in prod
ding the memory of Mr.. Sage. When
the Jury gave Laidlaw a verdict for
$4,000 Mr.. Sage concluded that Cha
pins story had something to do with
II. It is said he called his counsel,
Judge Dillon, and had Chapin's name
stricken from the will.

r. G. Iunn & Co.'S weekly review OF trade
Gays: The volume of business shrinks, as Is
natural in August, and the shrinkage seems
rather larger than usual because the transac-

In cotton goods the demand is rather more
active as the price OF the raw material ad-

90 OUT OF
EVERY 100.

CTATISTICS may not be absolutely cor
y rect, but there is no other way OF OBJ
tanning certain kinds of information, even
approximately, than through the statisti-
clan. That individual says that SO men
out of every 100 who die, are insolvent,
or in other words die without leaving any
estate, and only two leave anything for
their families after debts are paid. You
may doubt the truth of the above state
ment, and if you do we would suggest that
you allow your mind to run back over
your own experience and see how many
men you can recollect who have joined the
silent majority and left an estate to their
families. We think you will find that
there are not more than two or three out
of every 100.
1t is the duty of every man who has
any one depending on him land almost
every one has to make provision for the
ones who will be left at the mercy OF
cold world in case the bread winner is re-
moved. The only way in which this can
be done with any degree of certainty is by
life insurance. If you depend on leaving
what you now have or what you expect
to make, there are 9S chances to 2 that you
will not do it. Remember that as good
business men as you have the reputation
of being, have died inSolvent and the
chances are that you will do the same
thing.

THE RATION FOR HORSES.

No rule can be laid down as to the
quantity of the rations that should
be supplied to young growing horses
or to those that are matured. What
is enough to keep one animal thrifty
would starve another. About the only
safe rule is to let the condition of the
animal determine the quantity of the
ration. 1t always pays to keep all OF
the horses on the farm in good, thrifty
condition. This is necessary with the
young horses in order to get the best
growth and development, and it is
quite an item to have this growth con-
tinuous. At no time is it necessary to
keep growing colt fat. In fact, keep
ing him fat is a detriment rather than
a benefit. The ration should be one
calculated to develop bone and muscle
rather than fat.
The work teams must be in thrifty
condition in order that they may do
the most work in the least time with
out injury to themselves.
At this season it is best to commence
feeding little grain or hay in connec-
ton with pasturage rather than to let
them run down. 1t is always best to
allow the growing colts to run out
every day that the weather will per-
init. Colts, like sheep, need plenty of
fresh air and exercise but it is not
good economy to allow them to be ex-
posed to colds or storms.
One of the very best rations that can
be given to a growing colt is unthrash-
ed oats, run through feed-cutter, to
which little wheat bran is added. If,
after the bran is added, the whole is
slightly dampened, it will be still bet
ter. This makes complete ration; as
it supplies the material needed for the
development of bone and muscle.
1t is good plan to begin feeding a
light ration of this in the fall, gradu-
ally increasing until they are given all
they will eat up clean.
When not at work it is less necessary
than when at work. 1t is poor econo-
my because the teams are not at
work to let them run down with the
the expectation of feeding better and
getting them in proper condition later
on. The more economical plan is to
feed them enough to keep them thrifty
all the time. By keeping them thrifty
now less grain will be needed to keep
them so during the winter than if they
are allowed to run down now.
If, after the fall work is finished up,
the teams are given 10 days or
two weeks run in the pastures, giving
in addition their regular grain ration,
it will be a great help in getting them
into good shape for winter.-The Re,
public.
