When a Man is 60 Years Old
BY HENRY cLEws. IN CHICAGO TRIBUNE.

or war, prosperity or panic, I believe that Russell Sage can lay his hands on more immediate millions than any other man in this country. The younger Goulds, who have handled their fortunes with exceptional judgment, have continued to take care of Sage. for whom they have n fondness because of the assistance he gave their father.
 I am a positive disbeliever in athletics or violent physical exercise. never went through a course of exercise in my life. think it IS exceedingly harm- full to the young to indulge in violent exercise, such as amateur athletics. Overexertion is certain to produce strain or other harmful results that will make themselves shown later in life. Many a brilliant young college man who has made his record running Jumping or at football or baseball would be alive today, I feel, were it not for that fact. He injuries his constitution, and when attacked by severe sickness the old weakness tells on him and he succumbs .o pneumonia or some other disease that he otherwise would have fought off
 The only exercise that ever have been known to take, as such, Is walking. Then 1t is at a gentle pace and not for too great distance. The result is that 1 am perfectly well and always have been so. Just write me down as being one unalterably opposed to the violent physi- cal exercises that are thought to be so necessary to the training of the college man of today. I am the only man re- maining in the street who has been doing business under his own sign for forty three years. I am the fifteenth oldest member of the stock exchange. I am the tenth oldest member of the Union Club, and one of the twenty-four left of the original 750 ineorporators. I am the fourteenth oldest member of the Chamber of Commerce. come to my office every day and can attend personally, if l wish, to the orders of the more than 4,700 cus- toners that I have on my books, yet I can hardly remember when l was too i'll to come to the office. And this l att tribute to the fact that I never took any other exercise in my life than gentle walk
 There are two things for which have particular aversion. One is the man who doesn't know what he wants and takes the first bad advice offered, rushes the market, loses his money and then kicks The other Is being forced to endure the company of man whom l deem unworthy. The following black list I have had throughout my entire business career points the kind of man to be avoided:
 Who vilifes his benefactor.
 Who unjustly Accuses others Of bad deeds
 Who never has a good word for any body.
 Who is always prating about his own virtues.
 Who, when he drinks, drinks alone.
 Who boasts of the superiority Of his family.
 Who talks religion down town In con- nection with his daily business affairs.
 Who talks recklessly against the virtue of respectable women.
 Who runs in debt with no apparent intention of repaying
 Who borrows small sums on his note or check dated ahead.
 Who won't work for an honest living.
 Who looks down upon those who do.
 Who imputes bad motives to those try ing to do good.
 Who betrays confidence.
 Who lies.
 =.- Who is honest only for policy's sake.
 Who deceives his wife and boasts of 1t to others.
 Who chews tobacco in public con- veyance.
 Who gets intoxicated In public places,
 Who partakes of hospitality and talks behind his entertainers back
 Who borrows money from friend then hlackguards the lender.
