Time and again people have asked
what becomes of ali the waste paper.
The question is answered in the census
bulletin by the statement that the
waste paper is utilized to make new
paper again, although, of course, the
second product is of not nearly as good
quality as the first. Still, it is good
enough to serve many purposes.

TRUSTS AND FARMERS.

81 low INSIGNIFICANT. as COM
Il pared with these statistics of
aggregate wealth and income" says
the New York Sun, speaking of the ag-
ricultural industry of the United
States. ''is the amount of the capital
and of the income of the terrible trusts,
all told
Certainly the farmers of the United
States. with their more than $40. O0O.-
100000 of real estate, improvements,
implements and livestock. seem very
wealthy in the aggregate. but the Sun
overlooks one important detail While
the trusts are largely in the hands of
a very few men. the farms are in the
hands of a multitude. The average
value of the farms of the United
States. including everything animate
and inanimate upon them, is just a
little more than 1854.
Very few of us would consider this
a large fortune. Now compare that
pitiful little 1914 with the millions of

so well off, after all. either as an in
dividual or in the aggregate. Can the
Sun give the name of any farmer who
is as wealthy as one of the gentlemen
whose names are presented above?
Compared with the corporate wealth
of the country, the wealth of the farm
ers becomes insignificant. And yet
without the farmers the others, great
and small. rich and poor. big and
little. could not exist. Isn't the farmer
entitled to all he gets. and more?
Neither do all the men who are classed
as farmers own the land they TIL
According to the census statistics,
S5.3 per cent Of the farms in 1899 were
operated by tenants, either on a cash
rental basis or for 8 percentage of
the crops raised. OF the total. SIS per
cent OF the farmers were white and
1874 per cent colored. OF the whites.
S9-S per cent owned their own land.
OF the negroes. only 271 per cent were
owners.

RUSSELL sAeE's PHILOSOPHY

A FEW DAYS AGO Russell Sage cele-
u brated the s6th anniversary of his
birth. He was too busy to make a
holiday Of it. bnt managed to take
time for a short dissertation on the
successful life.
According TO Uncle Russell. work is
the panacea for all ills. and he takes
MS own prescription. Whether he
works others or Just for himself. he
Is always at it. If anybody would
stay I'm Wall street on Sunday. he'd
probably find Russell Sage willing TO
stay with him. for money. marbles or
peanuts. Rain or shine. hot or cold.
the old hnancier is always on deck.
Octogenari9n as he is. few men are
his equal in the manipulation of
finance. Certainly none ever exceIled
him in lodging bombs and damage
suits
But has it paid him? One searches
IN vain for any record Of benevolence,
of public service. of anything unseIfish
in his life. Unless he has concealed
his true character. he is a human ma
chine. attuned solely to selfish ends.
Even his success savors of pawnbrok-
ing on large scale. of profits from
the misfortunes OF others.
No one with a modest competence
need envy him; many who are poor in
worldly goods are richer than he in all
that is worth laving-friends, the re-
gard Of men and the consciousness of
good accomplished. The only lesson of
value he teaches is the physical and
mental worth of work.

Why They Took 1t Out.
Canadian Bfanufacturer.J


About a year ago. said a Chicago
patent lawyer, Il secured a patent on
a smoke consumer for a client Of mine.
He came into the office the other day.
and 1 asked him what he was doing
with his invention
We'll he said, I haven't had much
success with it. It's hard work to get
a thing like that introduced. Last
spring, after lot OF arguing, 1 got a
west side laundry firm to try it, with
the understanding that I was to take
il out at my own expense if ii didn't
use month or so I thought I'd go over
and see how it was working.
AS approached the laundry I saw
that there wasn't q bit of smoke roll
ing out of the stack. In fact. it was
almost impossible TO see from the out
side that there was fire in the boiler.

that the thing was working so well, and

Well" I said to the senior part

about that ne replied We want it
taken out
81 What's the trouble?r l asked him.
You agreed TO take IL out at your
own expense If it wasn't satisfactory,
you know. We have the contract in
writing
- That's all right I'm not denying
that 1 agreed TO take it out; but I'd
like TO know what's the matter with It

to be consuming the smoke all right -
'Oh. it consumes, as far as that
is concerned, but since the smoke has

Yes" the junior partner added,
and I can't imagine where we ever
