the greatest credit on the Spanish

The problem was to carry out the
great irrigation canal of Aragon and
Catalonia, intended to water 100000
hectares (26O,000 acres) of land,
now almost unproductive, across the
valleys of the rivers Sosa and Riba-
bona.
Government engineers worked out
several solutions, but the high price
of an aqueduct caused them to sub
stitute for it a colossal siphon.
A competition was held and plans
involving the use of either iron or
re-enforced cement were invited. The
latter material won. and the work
was given to Engineer Don Jose Eu-

years ago he told me that the coat

it was part of suit which was then
selling for $3.50. He was not asham-

Cashed a 4-Cent Check.
Not long ago Russell Sage cashed
check for cents. and as he did
so it is said that he remarked: ut
was Just like finding the money, just
like picking it up from the side
walk" The check came In a letter.
1t was from a theatrical firm, calling
his attention to their new play then
running at the theater, and inclosing
this check to pay for the time used
in reading the letter. This was the
note:
Assuming that your income is
great in a year, and that you appre-
ciate the fact that time is money,
we inclose check for cents in pay
ment of two minutes for your time at
that rate, to be employed in reading
carefully a brief and honest state
ment of the novel, applause-winning
features of our new musical farce.
Such letters were sent to many
wealthy New Workers. but 1t is said
that Mr.. Sage was about the only
one who cashed the check.
Russell Sage's eagerness to lend
money at top rates has been the basis
of many an anecdote. AS late as last
winter, on day of squeeze in the
money market; a New York paper
exerted it's comic powers thus: When
Russell Sage read this morning that
there was a pinch in the money mar
ket he got nervous.
Uncle Russell lends money.
All through breakfast he was rest
less. He hadn't been in Wall street
for months. His doctor had forbid
den his going there. He hated to
disobey the doctor. but the awful
warming for money in the street
was too fascinating. He sat In pain

it and then, summoning his valet
ordered his coat and hat. Five min

The work was carried on

RUSSELL SAGE in STORY
anecdotes of the Dead FinanCier's Pc
Culiarities---His Eccentric Methods
of Business and Close Economy

The death Of Russell Sage brings
10 light stories of a man who has,
perhaps, borne the butt of more un-
complimentary stories than any
other that ever lived. That Russell
Sage was close man, who hated
waste, is a historic fact.

disning out money as fast as it could

claimed Uncle Russell, rubbing his
hands gleefully.
Mr.. Sage's JOY was boundless when
the rate for call money scared above

glistening eyes and watched the mil
lions roll out. From IL until ~,
while Mr.. Sage remained at the Office
his men lent out $6,000,000. Mr..
Sage expressed great satisfaction
over his days work.
An Insight into His Stinginess.
An insight into Russell Sage's per-
sonality is given by a friend, who
said at the time he retired from the
street,"
while many of the stories that
are told of Mr.. Sage's miserly habits
and eccentricities are fictitious, none
of them are exaggerations. 1t would
be almost impossible for any one to
imagine a man more economical and
stingy than he. Although his income
is reckoned at $4,000 day, at least,
and some people thing it is twice
that amount, he has lived at the rate
of $4,000 year or less, and his per-
sonal expenses have not been 800
a year. That is a very liberal esti-
mate. He had two suits of clothes, |
one for weekdays and the other for
and he had worn them as
long as anybody could remember. .
He had not bought a new overcoat .
for fifteen or twenty years, and his ,
hat is quite as old as that, If not
older. A few years ago he sent for
a gentleman who had done him a
favor, and in a confidential way said
that he was going to reward him
with a Tip" that he could work for
a profit. Then, to the mans aston
ishment, Mr.. Sage gave him the ad-
dress of a store on Seventh avenue
where he could get shoes for 81
pair.

To save time, the Western Union
telegraph company serves a free

IIncnIn as a Lawyar.

A leader of the, Lincoln party told
the other day in Philadelphia a story
of the astuteness of Lincoln as a
lawyer.
When Lincoln was practising law,
he said, "he had a case involving a
disputed will The opposition claimed
the will was genuine and for several
hours adduced proof of this. For
Lincoln, who had to prove the will a
forgery, things looked black.
Lincoln, however, only called one
witness, a retired paper manufacture
er, renowned the country over for
his wealth and probity.
Mr. DASH Lincoln said TO this
witness, handing him the disputed
will, please hold that paper up to
the light and tell us what is the water
mark on it.
The water mark of my own firm,
Blank & Co., the witness answered.
When did your firm begin to
manufacture paper?'
"Tn 1841.'
And what's the date of the docu-
ment in your hands?'

Poets in PARLIAMENT

The candidacy of the comic play
wright, Tristan Bernard, for a seat
in the French chamber recalls the
facts that within a decade only one
poet of repute-Maurice Barres-has
been member of parliamentary
body, and that Lamartine was the only
eminent poet who was also a great no.
litical orator. The younger Dumas
was once asked why he did not try for
a seat in the chamber of deputies. tn
advocate his ideas of divorce. He re.
piled that he might fare like the editor
Emile de Girardin, who one day was
violently attacked in an assembly. He
rushed on the tribunal with furious
mien and everybody was eager to hear
his answer. He glared for a moment
at his tribunal and then exclaimed in
