Russell Sage was the absolute in
carnation of work. In so far as that
Is the American ideal, he was the
perfect exponent of II. He carried II
to the "lnextensible extreme" He
was nothing but work. In his later
years men often asked him why he
kept at labor when he could not
count the millions he already pos
scssed. II must keep going" he
said. Il should die If did not"
All of the stories of his extreme
frugality and his strictness with his
clerks rank around the carrying out
of his gospel of work. He disap-
proved of holidays and never took n
vacation, denying these even to his
Office force. because they interferel
with his working. Since he was a
boy he never spent 10 cents If 5
cents or better. 1-2 cents, would ac-
complish the purpose.
His Famous $i2 suit.
Beneath II Broadway. where his
business was carried on, was a cloth
ing store. When Sage passed out of
the building his eye would fall on
the suits of clothes hung up in the
window bearing placards s12 each.
Day by day he noticed this. but
waited for drop in the market for
ready-made clothes.
Sage wanted one of the suits. and
have II he must. The weather was
growing warm and he couldn't wait.
So he took a grip on mis- bank roll
and entered the store. A salesman
who had seen him pass recognized
him. and greeted him with, what
can do for you, Mr. Sage?"

suits in the window" said the finan-
cier. One of the finest sl2 suits was
brought ut, and Sage ran his hand
over the texture. 1t was smooth

How much?" he asked.
Twelve said the salesman.
Mr.. Sage felt again The market

No Holiday for Clerks.
The only known time when he
ever took rest was once when he
was sick for two weeks. 1t was his
favorite maxim that a young man
should never take vacation. He
never allowed his clerks a holiday.
Naming a president of the United
States was one of the experiences of
Sage. In his younger days he was
in politics. He served four years in
congress, but stepped out because
sit did not pay"
He was chairman OF the New York
delegation to the Wing convention
which nominated Zachary Taylor for
president As a concession for his
throwing the twenty-eight votes of
his delegation to Gen. Taylor he was
allowed to name the vice-president.
and happened to pick out Miflard
Fillmore a young lawyer of Buffalo.
Taylor died half through his term
and Fillmore became president.
While in congress Sage helped
elect N. p. Banks speaker of the
house. Banks in return offered him
the craftsmanship of any committee
except ways and means. But he de-
sired a place on that committee, and
was made second member. He often
attributed much Of his business sue
cess to his experience on that com-
mittee. which has more than any
other to do with running the United
States government.
His one diversion was his team, o
pair of fine bays. which he loved to
drive to a light buggy in the park
every afternoon.

Friends here who hear from the

That Mrs. William Thaw has been

Liberal With Advice.
There is one thing that he did
give freely, and that is advice.
Economy was his theme, and once
launched on this attractive topic, he
could talk eloquently.
"Oh, Mr.. Sage" said one OF the
women who made their living by
scrubbing out the big Arcade build
ing. "these are hard days for me,
and | thought YOU might give me a
little help. for you know that I'm a
hard working woman. and my hus-
bands down with a broken leg, and
my daughter is sick and one of the
children has got the dIphtheria, and.
sure, IL any one dies, have no
money for the funeral: and can't
pay the doctor. and there is nothing
to eat In the house"

much do you earn a week here?"
"Six dollars, SIR"
"And how long have you been
here?"
Ten years.

man you would have saved at leas,

Laidlaw Case Famous.
But by far the most famous case
of this kind. and one which brought
Sage's name TO the ears of many mil
lions. was the long-drawn-out Laid
law suit. On December 4. 1891. n
crank named Norcross in some way
passed the serried guards at the door
and came into Sage's private Office
with bag filed with dynamite.
"Sign me a check for $1,000 900
or drop this bag of dynamite.
shouted Norcross. After parleying a
while. : Sage refused. Norcross drop
ped the bag. and just as he did so
Sage rushed behind his clerk Laid
law.
The terrific explosion wrecked the
room. killed Norcross. and mutilated
Laidlaw for life. Sage was only
slightly injured.
After Laidlaw had been In the hos
pital four months. he came out
hopeless cripple. He asked Sage for
damages. Sage refused and Laidlaw
began suit for $4,000, which. after
running three years. was denied.
Then Laidlaw asked for $4,000.
That suit ran for about FIVE years
and became involved in inextricable
legal tangles. Laidlaw was backed
in his fight by Joseph II. choats.
