As Good

a great deal Of Mr.. Sage and never allows
a birthday TO slip by without sending
his congratulations.
At 50 Mr.. Sage finds himself sound
physically, but for nervous affection Of
the right eye and a slight deafness. He
can and does climb six fights Of stairs
without inconvenience and keeps as
long Office hours as any Of his twenty
four-year-old clerks He is temperate
in his eating and attributes his financial
success 10 his regularity Of habits.
Though the statement has often been
made during the last year or two that
Mr.. Sage is not the power in the tinan-
cial world that he once was there is
little evidence, ,going to show that this
is true. Though he may have been
dropped from the directorate of this or
that corporation during the year il is
still fact that he is a director in nearly
forty different companies, from which
/ he draws in directors fees more than
$2O, 600, annually. His total wealth it
|
mated at from t5O,OO0,OO0 TO 100000
/ 600. However close to the truth these
| figures may be it is certain that NJ.
Sage can commend more ready cash or
short notice than any other man in the
world His interests in railroads, banks
and other corporations are large, but his
great power comes from his ability not
only to secure cash, but to keep it.
! The twentieth annual meet Of the
! American Canoe Association, which be-
gan today at Hay Island in the st.
Lawrence river has attracted canoe
clubs from all parts of the United States
and Canada. The western states are
particularly well represented and eX-
pected TO make good showing in many
OF the racing events. Among the sched-
uled events Of interest to western men
are the division sailing races, war canoe
race for the American Canoe Association
championship and division padding

padding event this year for the first
time, racing for the Gardiner cup. The
Northwest division will have war

have reached the conclusion that we

We were wrong in the first place TO

"On question like this there

"Will Tammany make another

FOOLED IN A HORSE TRADE.
This Animal Possessed Several Remark

able Traits.
A prominent English landlord was
one day riding across a common ad-
jacent to his preserves when he
overlook one of his tenants, who
was also mounted. After the usual
salutations they rode on in silence
for some minutes, when the tenant
slightly spucred his horse, balky
animal, whereupon it dropped to it's
knees.
Whats the matter with your
horse?n asked his lordship. The
embarrassed tenant remarked by
way of explanation that his steed
always acted that way when there
was game TO be found.
A moment later, to the tenants
satisfaction and surprise, a fright
ened hare jumped out of some
bushes near by.
This so impressed the landlord
that he at once drove a bargain by
which he secured the tenants bare.

own fine mount, perfectly saddled
With much agility the tenant leaped
/ to his new horse, and all went well
until they came to small stream
whereat the landlords new nag
immediately baked A drive home
with the spurs brought it again to its

Deprivations Of the Country Boy Qualify

Deprivations of the Country Boy Qualify
Him For High Positions.
From the Woman's Home Companion:
Pleasure and the pursuit OF it are
not the first things inculcated in
your minds among American ia rm-
ing people. Pleasures come fter
rewards for the duties that have
been we'll done. This placing of
duty first is the great disciplinary
advantage in the training that cOun-
try boys receive. The country work
cannot be postponed, and the accom-
plshment of it becomes habit of
life, no matter how far removed the
person trained in it may be from the
field in which it was nece aTy.
Pretty nearly everything country
boy encounters day by day has a
tendency toward the developme mt
of healthy and wholesome individ-
uality. There is a deal of regular
work that every country boy must
do. This work, pretty much always
out of doors, inculcates industrious
and regular habits, while it con trib-
utes to physical development which
in after years is just as valuable as
any athletic training that can be
had. lie cannot run as fast, per-
haps, as those trained by sys tenn
he may not be able to jump SO h igh
or so far or excel in any of the sports
upon which we bestOw so much time
and from which we get so much
of pleasure, but his developm ent
enables him to buckle down to the
| hard work in which hours are con-
sumed and from which very little or
any immediate pleasure is extracted. .
| His strength may be something like
that of a cart horse, but the cart
horse is to be preferred where long
and steady pull is required. The
thoroughbred race horse has a fine
! flight of speed and he caracoles with
delightful lightness and grace along
the park bride paths, but the b eayy
work is the work that is most in de-
mand and for that we want the
draught animals every time.
The chores thata country hey does
are not always pleasant; they are in
finitely less agreeable than training
for a boat race or for football game ;
in their accomplishment there il no
reward of applause; 1t Is all ham
drum work, which usually beg ins
with the day and which does not
end till darkness has settled down
and it is time to sleep.

England few weeks ago of 90 ,000, 900

these colonial possessions, which are
now computed on the authority of
the Year Book to be 100000 square

with 100000 added for India, bring
