The "Temperament,, Fxcusa.

Sometimes you hear as an excuse
for faults, 1T is my temperament"
Do you not know that the perversions
of temperament are not the temper
ament itself? There never was a
temperament that had not its good
as well as its evil possibilities. The
truth is that We inherit our tempesa-
ment with its natural perversions,
and 1t Is our business in life to shake
off the perversfons, in order that we
may find the veritable temperament
itself, and that 1t may carry us on
truly to the best work that suoA a
temperament can do. If all who have
excused themselves for selflshness and
evil because of the artistic tempeRa-
ment' had recognized that they wsrs
really excusing the pervisions of thsir
temperament, and not the tempema.
ment itself, much needless pain and
sorrow might have been avoided

New York.-Russell Sage died sud.

"Cedarcroft," at Lawrence, L. |. The
immediate cause Of death was heart

Of diseases incident to old age. The

with sinking spell and collapsed,
falling into Inconsistencies about
two hours before his death, which oc-
Cured at 4:3O O'Clock.
Russell Sage, multi-miIlionaire and
Nestor of American fnanciers, was
born on Aug. 4, 1916, in Verona, Onei-

THE TORCH is BEING
APPLIED BY PEASANTS
Peasant Uprising in Russia Has Come
at Last, the Losses to Land
Holders in Provinces Being
Colossal.

Moscow.-A landlord fleeing from
Bobrov, province Of Roronskh, where
a peasant uprising has taken place,
has arrived here and gives frightful
picture of the devastation. He de-
scribes the losses in the provinces as
colossal. The troops are powerless to
cope with the peasants who are march
Ing in large Oands, destroying practi-
cally everything. Not more than one
tenth Of the estates are spared. Upon
approaching a village an advance de-
tachment of the peasants enters, an.
nounces that it is being pursued by
5000 troops with many guns and asks
for support The villagers thereupon
join the rioters and the procession
moves on. The movement was start
ed by the refusal of the landlords in
the northern part of the Bobrov dis
trict to agree to an advance of wages
to the farm women. The crops are
not being harvested.
A dispatch from Hamore states that
the town of Syrian has been almost
totally destroyed by fire, and that the
inhabitants are fleeing before the
peasant bands, which caused the de-
stfuction of the town.
