many who make $4,000 or $4,000.
Hence innumerable young men and

There is only one way to enter

He goes about collecting money

He has twice been in Congress, but
he never cared to distinguish himself
in politics. He is fond of a good

driven every morning and evening,

In spite of the general impression
to the contrary, Mr. Sage is philan-

left to the discretion and Judgment of
Mrs. Sage. Although the posscssor

no gorgeous establishment, his home
being luxurious, but simple in all it's
