SAGE ON PROSPERITY.
Well known FfnaHcier Sees Peril Ia
Our Prevent sanremacy.


Russell Sage the other day gave out
the following statement for publication:
1T must be taken into consideration
at the present time that we are now on
high plane of prosperity This fact
is the best reason for conservatism. The
United States has accumulated $780,
600. 600 to 81 600. coo, 600 of cash in
surplus reserves and FOR investment
purposes To be able to spend this wise
ly and judiciously requires the use of
great tact and foresight In fact it is
the greatest responsibility the United
States has ever had. Both commercially
and politically the United States has
suddenly leaped into the society of ma
tions We are like "A young man rails
ing family without previous expert
ence We have attained a standard Of
commercial and political supremacy
which must be maintained I do not
wish to be misunderstood as being pes
simistic, but it seems to me TO be the
proper time to use great conservatism
in spending the enormous monetary
wealth we have Sc recently acquired
and in laying plans for the raising of
our new territorial acquisitions to a
lucrative position
Nov is the time to lay something
by for q rainy day To do this proper
ly we require some great fnancier to
guide us 1t is well known that have
the greatest admiration for President
Mckinley. | have been and am willing
to fol&ow1his leadership politically, be-
cause believe Mr.. Mckinley to be safe
and particularly sound in his conserya-
tism- We have. however, no man of
approved experience in financial matters
and craftsmanship toso guide the desti-
mics of the United States that we will
be able to support the high level we
have reached 1t would seem to me,
! therefore, well to be pr;udent in the in
~estmenS of our vast stores of money
and In the management of the new po-
btical possessions we have assumed. 1t
sensual In the height of prosperity for
people of wealth as well as others, to
speak unduly encouragingly While
this is self pleasing, it may lead to
GREATER dangers. The present time
seems to me- ito be one of peril more
from the standpoint that we should
knNag how to maintain our present So
premacy. New York World

Bank Impertinence,

The Philadelphia Record tells of an
odd Pennsylvania farmer who recently
came into possession of a check for
$500. 1t caused him great deal Of anx-
iety, and for long time he could not
muster up the courage to have it cashed.
Finally, while on a trip to town, he
summoned up nerve enough and, stroll
ing into the bank, presented the check.
The teller glanced at it hastily, and
then, after the fashion of his kind,
brusquely asked, What denomina-
tion?''
Lutheran, gol durn it! But what's
tibet got tew do with it?'' as brusuuely
replied the old farmer, to the great as
tonishment Of the bank official
1t required several minutes explana-
tion before the teller could get the old
man to understand his question, and
then the latter took his money and de-
parted, with sundry growls derogatory
to banks in general.

Christmas Gantata.

The Christmas cantata, entitled
Johnnie Doubter, written by poet
Of national reputation was rendered
excellently by the children of the
Congregational Sunday school, in the
City opera house, last Saturday night
in the presence af large and enthu-
siastic audience. The idea in writing
this cantata was to give the children
something besides a senseless jingle
of words, and the idea was eagerly
seized by each one participating, and
where each did so well it would be un-
wise to make invidious distinctions
but the boys who represented the ma
tons are deserving of special credit,
for the mastery delineation of the
nation he represented both in costume
and dialect
The Frenchman was the typical
polished man with his elaborate
moustache and silk hat. and gold
headed cane.
The singing was excellent, each one
joining in the chorus with all energy
possible. The plan Of the autaor was
carried out until Johnnie Doubter be-
came convinced after listening to
Santa Claus make an eloquent speech
after which he personally superintend-
ed the distribution Of presents. Miss
Noll Goodrich presided at the piano.

'When | go over to the old country
am going to get lot of clothes to
bring back with me-" said a well
known Windsorite, who went abroad
recently.
"Oh," said his nearer, IF that is the
case, / have a brother who is a tailor
in London, and | will give you letter
of introduction and write him telling
him to use you right"
In course of time the traveller step
ped into the tailor shop in London and
presented his letter of introduction.
He got a warm handshake from the
tailor, who said he had received let
ter from his brother telling of the
travellers expected arrival, but could
not understand part of the letter. The
letter, when produced, read:
"Dear Brother-The bearer, Mr.. -,
is from our place and wishes to get
lot of clothes in London. He has all
sorts of money Soak him. Yours at
fectionately."
The part of the letter that could not
be understood was the concluding
phrase, The traveller of course under
stood the Americanism, but managed
to keep his face straight while he gave
1t favorable construction. He saved
the laugh until he could have 1t on his

trict held their annual Christmas tree
and the school house was packed
Old and young, rich and poor met to-
gether and enjoyed delightful even
ing.
The tree groaned under its burden
Of presents and the bending boughs
seemed to partake Of the spirit Of
gladness as the presents were dis
tributed, for they assumed their
normal upright position.
One commendable feature of the
entertainment, worthy of imitation
by all Sunday schools. was every per-
son received present. Nationality,
creed or external appearance had
nothing to do in determining who
should receive present
Mr.. Chas. Langridge, a proficient
instructor in vocal music, led the
choir and Miss Lydia Schneider pre-
sided at the organ. Mr.. Chas. Cox
made an eloquent speech descriptive
of the faithfulness of Mr.. Ellsworth
Mckinney as an efficient superinttnd-
ent, and presented him with beauti-
ful gold ring as testimonial O the
high regard in which he is held by
the entire community Miss Lydia
Schneider was presented with beau
tiful rocking chair, and some limited

housekeeping. The pastor was also
