SMOOTH RUSSELL SAGE.
How He Utilized IL Friend In Buying
II Load of Hay.


Russell Sage has not squandered very
much on clothes and personal luXuries
during his long life, still he has spent
some pretty large sums on horses, his
love of which has amounted to almost
n passion. Some time ago he paid S10,-
600 for Il team of trotters for use at
his country place on Long Island. and
the first time he was to drive them he
asked Frank Tilford, who was a 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:
Il 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
hayY
give dollars?" said Sage. why. it Is
not worth cent more than three. 1t
does not cost you anything; all you
have to do is to cut it,
"Well," replied the farmer. 'it takes
good half days work and the use of
my horse and wagon"
But Sage would not pay $5, so a COM
promise was made on $4 for the load
delivered.
where shall / leave it?" said the
farmer.
"At Tijford's." said Uncle Russell,
and 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
it go for less than ST. And, by the bye,
when he leaves it at your place just let
your man bring it over to my barn.

by the cough. The came day received
an order from you for a bottle of your

sample bottle, and took about three
doses of the medicine. To my great re-
lief the cough and cold had completely
disappeared and l was able to preach
three times ON Easter Day. l know
that this rapid and effective cure was
due to your Cough Remedy. I make
this testimonial without solicitation, be-

CHANGE IS NEEDED
Present Method of Handling Prunes
Not Satisfactory to the
Growers.

There is one thing which appears
quite certain and that is that the
present system Of handling prunes
in the Pacific Northwest will soon
pass away. The selling of prunes
must go into the hands Of men who
are interested in keeping up the
industry and who will make per-
sistent and intelligent efforts to en-
large the demand for our prunes.
Under existing conditions, outside
of the associations and few
companies and individuals who
make a speciality Of curing and
packing prunes, those who buy
prunes in the Pacific Northwest
have no interest in the prune in
dustry except as an incidental and
comparatively insignificant portion
of their business. From their stand
point the only way to increase sales
is to cut down prices. With many
classes of merchandise this method
is effective. In the case of prunes
it has very little effect. 1t can not
be observed that the consumption
of prunes in the United States is
materially affected by the price.
An increased demand for Italian
prunes will come not from cheap
ening the price but from persistant
and we'll directed efforts to get
them into the hands of those who
know nothing of their merits. Well
managed and strong associations
of growers can do this work. The
class of buyers we now have in the
field will not do it because they
have not enough at stake. Unless
the growers do the work through
associations there will in time de-
velop a class of dealers whose
whole interest will be in the prune
business and who will cure and
