RUSSELL sage
LEFT had STOCK

NEW YORK, Sept. g.. Russell
Sage's executors have found in his
safe deposit vaults and on his stock
and bond register securities having q
par value of $1,071,O00 which are
now worthless. They also expect to
realize little or nothing on some Of
his open accounts. Besides, two OF
the railroads which Sage owned
have been sold by the executors at
loss. One Of them was the Pough-
keepsie and Eastern, which Sage
thought enough of to make up the
deficit and keep it in operation. He
owned all the roads 100000 stock
and 100000 bonds, and the execu-
tors disposed Of the entire lot for
$3.50, 900. Sage held the New Bruns-
wick Southern railroads total issue
of bonds and stocks, 100000 and
$40, 900 respectively and the execu-
tor realized $2S0,9S9 for them.
Most OF Sage's worthless security
came into his hands early in his ca
reer, and persons acquainted with
his business ways think he paid only
fraction of their face value for
them.

SHE LIKED THE SMOKING ROOM.
Unexpected Appreciation Of the Wom'
ans Club from Aunt Mary.

The girls brought Aunt Mary into
town in the motor and stopped at the
woman's club to clean up. says the
New York Sun. 1t was really to see
his famous place that the old lady,
who rarely got nearer New York than
the summer home of her family on
Long Island, had been eager to come
to the city.
DO we dare show her the smoking
room?" asked n of the younger
women. You know she v heard
of anything like that in the woman's
club in Brattleboro."
Maybe she will be fearfully
shocked" answered the other, land
well regret that we " did it. But
Just let's wait and see what happens
at the moment"
Aunt Mary was delighted with what
she saw. She was %bubbling over with
comments of delight on the trig maid
in the dressing who helped her
to remove the stains Of travel by
motor. She was just as pleased with
her lunch, grew enthusiastic over the
gymnasium and swimming pool and
could not restrain herself when the
party stood somewhat abashed before
the door of the smoking room.
How convenient" observed the old
lady with approval as the two younger
women exchanged surprised looks,
and how well arranged for the pur-
pose"
That Aunt Mary should show SO
much appreciation of the smoking
room was more than the younger wom-
en- could understand, as she repre-
scented all that was most conventional
in the old-fashioned view of women's
conduct. She was emancipated up to
the liberation of a woman's club, but
that she should admire the smoking
room when she never failed to express
her %disapproval of that habit in wom-
an was beyond them.

That night they sat after dinner on
the piazza discussing the visit to
town.
"One thing l did not see in the
club" Aunt Mary observed, was any
needles and thread"
Needles and thread?" repeated her
grandniece. why, l think the maids
always have them"

but l mean in the sewing room. l
that nicely arranged sewing
room, with the tables and the COM
Portable chairs. Everything for sew
ing was there except any needles and
thread. Where are they kept?"
So it seemed, after all, that Aunt
Mary's enthusiasm over the smoking
room had been founded On a misap-
prehension. Yet it seemed a shame
to destroy the illusion.
"Oh, l understand, aunty." answered
one of her two escorts to the club.
