the streets drumming industriously'
although quite regardless of rhythm,
until every one in Veules was crazy

Sage RusselPs Age.
Sage Russell's age is eignty-nine,
A victim Of much levity.
He still can speculate and dine
And boast Of his longevity.
He doesn't waste his hard-earned

on Libraries and colleges;
fle takes good care to keep his health,
And offers no apologies.
He's In his Office every day.
Avoids undue publicity:
In business makes no display.
And dresses with simplicity;
At noon he seeks more frugal fare
Than any Wall Street dweller has;
lie has less money, but more hair,
That John ID. Rockefeller has.

With singular celebrity;
