might take him from his desk and
prevent him from getting a dollar.
Neither will he trust his affairs in the
hands of other men. They are all
lax. They do not have proper bust
ness methods. They might even be-
tray some human emotion; and all
these things are inexcusable and un-
professional Russell Sage has prob
ably made more money and got less
good out Of it than any man that ever
lived. He dresses in hand-me- downs,
buys the cheapest of lunches, be-
grudges his street car fares and in his
New York house lives in a very plain
and uncomfortable way. His only
diversion is money making. True,
there are mythical reports that he has
a fine country place somewhere and
keeps good horses. 1t Is even report
ed that his wife INDUCES in charities.
But all these things are SO usage
like, as it were, that the world hard
~ credits them. He Is not burdened
with an imagination, like j. Pierpont
Morgan; has no sympathy with the
newfangled promotions and all that
sort of thing. He stands by the
time honored method Of ioaning
/ money and charging all that the traf-
fic will bear. He has no particular
object In accommodating, being with
out offspring to whom his vast for
tune may be left. He does not
squander it on himself. In fact, the
only apparent happiness he gets out
OF his wealth is that afforded by get.
ting more OF It. He is a striking ex.
ample Of "the poverty of riches" In
dollars he has .affiuence. In ali else
that goes to make life worth while
he is in absolute penury.

The ordinary man would suppose
that Russell Sage, who has Just pass
ed his eighty-eighth milestone, Is old
enough to retire. But that Is be-
cause he does not know his man.
And the ordinary man again would
imagine that when money chaser
gets anywhere from soc, 100000 to
100000, 600, and has more ready cash
than any other man in the world. he
would not care to accumulate more.
But in that the ordinary man would
again exhibit his ignorance OF this
particular case. Once more the ordi-
nary man would assume that when
anyone had reached this advanced po-
sition both In years and In wealth,
even If he did want to continue ac-
cumulating, he would depute some
younger man to look after the details
