Mrs. Russell Sage.
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.
1t is not only impossible to reach
Mrs. Sage by letter-it has become
one Of the impossible things to see
her. Mrs. Sage formerly was one of
the most approachable Of women.
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
ere 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 il she had been the
wife of a clerk instead Of a multi
millionaire
Some one wrote a book once on
Prisoners of Poverty. Mrs Sage is a
Prisoner OF Wealth. Behind this hui

some one may reach to torment her

Sir Edwin Arnold as an Editor.

Sir Edwin Arnold was perhaps the
most suave man who ever paced Fleet
street. His correspondence must have
been enormous, but it never seemed a
tax. He hailed a contribution from
an acquaintance with thanks on one
day, begged forgiveness on the next
for a days inevitable delay in publica-
ton and on the third offered his con-
gratulations. At first sight people
thought the friendly manner too good
to be true, but Arnold proved true on
long trial. Il am mighty journal
ist," he once said, and one knew he
took pride in the ambiguous sound of
the mighty" A proper knight Of the
pen was he.-London Chronicle.

rounded by derisive crowd, drip
ping figure emerged and staggered
across the camp. Merciful heavens! it
was the quadron, woe-begone, from
head to foot one Shiny mass of drip
ping, vispid rosin. And in front of the
crowd that danced and jeered and
shouted was Mandy, pointing a de-
risive finger at this crow stripped of
his plumage, this humbled dude, her
love converted into harsh and bitter
mockery.
And suddenly balm came to Caes-
ar's soul. A happy smile irradiated
the blacks features. He chuckled
and slapped his thighs.

then the general said, with roguish
twinkle IN the eye:
Now, Mrs. Stouton. would you like
