In this story OF great wealth. two
women appear as strangely pathetic
figures. They are probably the richest
women in the world. yet are radically
different from each other. Each is
well past the meridian of life and their
money is more OF responsibility than
pleasure. One is Mrs. Russell Sage

apolis.-Ralph w. Wheelock,
editor Of paper in one OF the smaller
North Dakota towns, had an expert
ence with a blizzard recently that he
would not care to repeat The follow
ing is his story of the occurrence:
The forenoon had been mild, almost
muggy, for January, and while there
were signs of a snowstorm in the air
there was nothing TO indicate, to a
tenderfoot at least, that real dis
aster was at hand. AS | passed up
stairs moment later and entered the
front office glance through the win
dow, which looked to the north,
showed a whirling mass of fine snow
coming up from the open prairie
northwest of town, and | found the
storm was in full blast, with no more
warning than has been suggested.
1t was impossible to see across the
street; the mercury that few sec
onds before had stood above freezing
had dropped close to zero and the
wind was blowing, apparently, from
all points at once.
Darkness fell early, but brought no
letup in the violence of the storm. In
fact, the wind grew fiercer, while the
mercury went lower.
l lived seven blocks from the Office
in a northeasterly direction and after
putting the paper TO press about 4:30
o'clock in the afternoon | started for
home. For five blocks due east
struggled and floundered along
through the swirling, deepening drifts
of fine snow that cut the face like
sharp sand, binding the sight and
freezing about the nose and mouth
until breathing became difficult
AS | felt my way along from fence
for life there would be for either man
or beast out on the open prairie. Near
the end of the trip it was necessary to
cut diagonally across some vacant
lots to reach the house, a distance of
about block and half, and although
! could not see an inch ahead and was
almost exhausted from the twisting
grip Of the shifting snowdrifts about
my feet and legs and my breath was
almost sucked from my lungs by the
peculiar effect of the whirling wind
! determined to take the chance of
crossing that open stretch.
But | had not struggled ahead ten
feet before | lost all sense of direc-
ton. In turning to get my back
against the wind | had let go of my
objective point with my mind or in
stinct, or whatever it was that was
working, and | could not regain ii. To
the north a short distance were the
bluffs of Firesteel creek and to the
east the jim river bottoms, and I had
no desire to explore either, Dark.

was getting more and more bitter and
there began to come over me that

heir to the bulk Of his property Tween
ty-six relatives were the beneficiaries
of legacies Of $4,000 each, which have
largely been increased since then. Al
ter paying small private requests it
was announced that the rest would be
given away by Mrs. Sage. Before the
will was filed, one estimate Of the size
of the fortune was s60,000,O00. This
was declared to be much too low. The
estimate of Wall street was 100000
900. Other estimates since the will
was filed have varied from s63 100000
to 1913 ,000,0 900. The balance which
Mrs. Sage will distribute is said TO be
more than $75O00,000.
Americas Richest Widow
The story Of Mrs. Anne Weightman
Walkers $120000,00 is not without
its elements of tragedy. Most Of her
fortune came from her father, William
Weightman, of Philadelphia. Starting
as a penniless boy in a laboratory, Mr..
Weightman laid the foundation OF his
wealth in the quinine trade during the
civil war and by introducing sugar
coated quinne pills 1t was swelled
rapily by real estate investments in
the heart of Philadelphia, including
theater, hotels, office buildings, and
business and residential blocks.
His friends were amazed when he
died, leaving his entire fortune, except
for a few small requests, to Mrs. Wal
kerr his daughter.
There were absolutely no restrictions
oh her use of the money. The will
contained no charitable requests. His
other descendants We're practically
ignored in the will. They were the
two sons and five daughters of his
