7 SMOOTH RUSSELL SAGE.
now lie Utilized Friend In Buying
Load of Hay.


russell Sage has not squandered very
much on clothes and personal luxuries
curing his long life, still he has spent
some pretty large sums on horses, his
love of which has amounted to almost
passion. Some time ago he paid $10,-
wv for team of trotters for use at
MS country place on Long Island, and
the first time he was to drive them he
asked Frank Tilford, who was neigh
Dor Of his, to go with him. How Uncle
Russell made the rotund Tilford pay for
his outing is still told with great glee
throughout the countryside
After driving little way team was
seen approaching drawing a load Of
salt hay out from the meadows along
the shore. Immediately said Sage:
81 am paying too much money for
bedding for my horses. Now We'll see
what this man wants for his load of
hay"
So the stranger was stopped and the
aged financier began negotiations.
What do you want for that load of
hay"
Five dollars" was the reply.
Five dollars?" said Sage. 'Why, it Is
not worth a cent more than three. 1t
does not cost you anything; all you
have to do is to cut it,
'Well," replied the farmer. 1T takes
q good half days work and the use of
my horse and wagon"
But Sage would not pay So. so COM
promise was made on 81 for the load
delivered.
{ "Where shall l leave it?' said the
farmer.
"At Tilfords," said Uncle Russell.
atA turning to Tilford as they drove
on he said:
you see, Frank, If he knew that hay
was for Russell Sage he would not let
If 90 for less than 81. And, by the bye
when he leaves it at your place just lei
your man bring it over to my barn. =

Washington Man May Get the Vacancy
in the Treasury.

Washington. The impression liz
strong among treasury officials and
employees that Secretary Shaw will
not GO outside of Washington for an
assistant secretary to succeed Mil
ton X. Allies, and that he will finally
decide upon Wallace II. Hills for
the position. Mr.. Hills extensive
acquaintance with affairs and the
personnel in the treasury renders
his selection extremely logical, and
likewise makes it unlikely that
new man will be brought in who is
unfamiliar with the work of the de-
partment. Secretary Shaw will not
be in hurry about the matter, and
has lot given the slightest indica-
tion OF his intentions.
Mr.. Hills is from New YORK. has
always been a Republican and
geographically, politically and 9TH
erwise is looked upon as the strong

LUNATEC CREATED EXCITEMENT.
Escaped, Entirely Nude, from Insane
Asylum and Demanded of the First
Man he Met the Loan of his Trousers
-..Niles Upholds Demurrer.

Abraham Arisko, negro lunatic,
who escaped from the State Insane
Hospital, at Jackson has been returned
to that Institution, after brief period
of liberty, which was replete with ex-
citment for him and the authorities.
The negro managed to remove one of
che bars of window on the third
story, at about one o'clock in the
morning, from the best information
obtianable, and made his escape. He
got out into the open without shred
OF clothing on him, and took to the
woods. After wandering around for
some time it occurred to him that his
costume was not exactly derigueur,
and he cast about for some means of
supp lying his most pressing need.
Just about break of day he espied a
white man named Allen Stovall, who
was driving some COWS to the pasture.
He hailed him, and when the man had
recovered somewhat from his surprise
at the vision of naked bushman, de-
handed the loan of his trousers. The
white man not only declined to COM
ply with this unreasonable request,
but succeeded in cowing the negro,
whom he recognized as lunatic, an d
took him in charge, BE got some
garments for him from somewhere and
brought him to to 1n and turned him
over to the Jail authorities. Once in
side the courtyard he realized that he
was returning to a life of captivity,
and he thereupon began a resistance
which gave all concerned bad quar-
ter of az hour. In the struggle his
new-found clothes were torn off and
he emerged once more Eau naturel. I"
Escaping from those who were trying
to hold him, he clambered up on the
Jail fence and regarded his pursuers
from that eminence. He was at last
cotton down and in Jail. The State
hospital authorities were notified, and
they soon arrived to take the escaped
in charge.

UphoIds Demurrer of Mill Operatory.

An important case affecting the
lum Der interests of the State has been
decided in the Circuit Court at Quit
man. The Legislature of 1900 sought
to impose privilege tax on saw mill
operators who shipped lumber out of
the State and who bought timber
without buying the land. Under this
act the Revenue Agent sued the Mis-
sissippi Lumber Company, of this
place, for 1925 for privilege taxes
alleged to be due. On demurrer Judge
Neville held the act void as contraven-
ing that section of the State Consti-
t1tion which provides that taxation
shall be uniform and equal through
out the State, and also as infringing
the Interstate Commerce clause of the
United States Constitution. Samuel
81. Terral, Jr. of his place, repre-
rented the Mississippi Lumber Com
pany, while Pierce and jayne and
Fridge, of Ellisville, represented the
Revenue Agent, The case will be
sarried to the Supreme Court, and if
Judge Neville is affirmed several
thousands of dollars will have to be
refunded by the State.
