sible members of the Chamber OF Com
merce. This fund is TO be used to pur-

taken by passing ships for another light.
Once more she mounted into the tower to
make the machinery work, but her efforts were
useless. The machinery was out of order and she
did not know how to fix 1t. Then she descended
and sent the two oldest children up into the
tower-one was ten and the other seven-and all
that night, alone in the little lamp room, up at
the top of the lighthouse, from 300 p. m until
seven the next morning, the two children kept
the machinery In motion, while the mother below
with the two smaller children prepared the body
of the father for burial.

Coffee can marshall good squadron
Of enemies and some very hard ones to
overcome. A lady In Florida writes:
II have always been very fond OF
good coffee. and for years drank 1t at
least three times a day. At last, how
ever, l found that It was injuring me.
Il became bilious, subject to fre-
quent and violent headaches, apSxfso

MY heart got 'rickety' and beat so
fast and so hard that could scarcely
breathe, while my skin got thick and
dingy, with yellow blotches on my face,
caused by the condition of my liver
and blood.
II made up my mind that all these
aflictions came from the coffee, and 1
determined to experiment and see.
so I quit coffee and got a package
OF Postum which furnished my hot
morning beverage. After little time

PR|SONER0F WEALTH
Her Fortune a Burden to Mrs.
Russell Sage.
Beggars Force Her Into Retirem ent
and Change Her From a Sweet,
Kindly Woman to One of
Suspicion.

New York.-One of the most pathet-
ic figures in the world today is Mrs.
Russell Sage, upon whom the fortune
left her by her husband imposes a
fearful burden. There is scarcely
day that she does not weep, one of
her intimate friends tells us. She
sits and cries at the intoierable bur-
den of having 65,O0O,0OO on her
shoulders, at the task of distributing
that huge fortune in the way that will
do the most good. She Is 80 years
old and has New England con-
science. She wants to do just the
right thing with 1t all, and it requires
an amount Of thought and study and
imposes a feeling OF responsibility
that is hard on an old woman who
only wants quiet corner to spend
her few remaining years in.
Mrs. Sage has aged very much
since her husbands death. She has
grown thin, pale, bent and wrinkled.
Aside from the natural grief over Mr..
Sage's death, Mrs. Sage was plunged
almost instantly into a storm of ap-
peals which amounted to a persecu-
tion. Her mail for some years before
Mr.. Sage's death had amounted to be-
tween 40 and so letters a day. II
leaped instantly to 900 day, and the
entire surplus was appeals for money.
Within two months after Mr.. Sage's
death 1000 letters were carted away
from her house unopened. Two secre-
taries work night and day almost TO
handle Mrs. Sage's private mail II
she attempted to read 10 per cent of
it personally she would be able to do
nothing else.
At first she tried conscientiously to
look it over herself. She was aston
ished and disgusted at some of 1t.
Before Mr.. Sage's body was cold in
its coffin she received a letter from
q New York man whom she never had
seen asking her to send him a check
for $1,000 by return mail. and he was
kind enough to inclose a stamped en-
velope for reply. She never asked

for advice as to the disposal of this
fortune, yet within the first two
months Of her widowhood she receiv-
ed letters from more than 1000 diff
ferent men, instructing her how TO
give away her money so as to do the
most good.
The letters that really affected Mrs
Sage at this time were pathetic ap-
peals for help from individuals. Many
of these were to all appearances gen.
uine, the appeals Of poor and igno-
rant persons, suffering in want and
hardship, and pathetically confident,
that the kind-hearted woman who had
more money than she knew what to
do with would give them the little
that would make them happy Some
of these letters distressed Mrs. Sage
greatly; but they came not only from
every state In the Union, but from
foreign countries. Had she respond
ed to them she would have dissipated
her entire fortune in small checks to
individuals all over the world. So
finally Mrs. Sage gave up her mail
Now letter which is manifestly from
a personal friend is given her, but
nothing else reaches her eye.

Mrs. Sage by letter-it has become
one Of the impossible things to see

Not trace OF snobbery or purse
pride is to be found in her makeup.
A plain, old-fashioned village woman
she started her career, and that she
remains to this day. She never cared
anything about fine clothes or society,
and her friends were chosen by pref
erence from among the people who
are doing the work of the world.
With professional women she was par
ticularly friendly. That period of her
own life between 1847, when she was
graduated, and 1869, when she mar
ried Mr. Sage, was spent in teaching
school whenever her health would
permit, and she never felt above any
one who earned his or her living. ANY
one who had ever been introduced to
Mrs. Sage could see her as easily as
her own home as II she had been the
wife Of a clerk instead of a multi.
millionaire.
