Sloeun, that Russell Sage invaded New York and began the Wall Street operations that were to make him one of the richest of Americans. Excess i've industry. cheese-paring thrift, and remarkable business sagacity had characterized his career as a, mer- chant, and these qualities were in field of endeayor.
 He was alread va rich man when he marrieds and Judicious investments in railway stocks, elevated roads in New York, and telegraph and cable companies, put him in the multi 41rliI- iioraire class
 "Get all you can and keep all you get" might we'll have been the Sage motto, but his widow has not mani Tested the same affection for money.

In 1907 she gave $1,0oo, 900 to the Emma Willard Sem mary at Troy, a similar sum to the Rensselaer, Polytechnic Institute at Troy, $3605e00 to the r. M. c.

NOT A MARRYING MAN

Dear Miss Ltbbey:
 have been keeping company with q young man (vUho is eight years older than D for the last three years. He takes me out three times a week and shows me the best kind of a time, spending lots of money on me He has never asked me to marry him. The talk of marrying is not in his head at all He says people are crazy who get tied to each other, though he says, '.I like you, hdd; you're all right" What should do?
 FRE1DA No matter how sincerely a. girl may be interested in a young man she is not doing right by herself to give him her society exclusively for years when he coolIy gives her the information that he is not intending to marry her. Girls are obliged to break off with such a lover soon or late. After a twenty-year eourtship they may jilt an old love for a new one. If a. man really loves a girl. he is desirous Of making her his own for life by we'd ding her.

Whether or not bachelors hearts are desirable is a problem that many clever woman has failed to solve to her satisfaction. That they ara noble structures the fair sex devoutly be- Heves. But never having had an oe- cupant are they not untenantabIe, they argue? Even a. lordly palace without caretaa1ers to let dn the sum shine, throwing open wide the barred doors and windows. must gradually fall to decay and ruin.
 The bachelor who heard them talk thus laughs in his sleeve. He may tell women that his heart has never had an occupant and expect them to be neve it, but men believe as much Of that sort of a story as they like. They are wont to tell their women folk tersely that the bachelors heart has had SO many occupants it is more likely to be battered out from these moving ins and moving outs than dus- ty He waves away. the departing guest with a, light goodbye and turns to greet the newcomer.
 This may be stretching the truth in regard to some bachelors. Yet they who have not had a score of loves are few and far between. They have been so satisfied with the ties which do not bind that they have constantly put off looking for wife.
 The average bachelor likes his free dom too we'll to barter it for the sake of any one woman to whom he must be devoted, shutting himself off from the companionship of all other women for the remainder of his natural life Even though the> average bachelor de cJares this, when the right nice, trim, innocent little woman comes along and touches the marrying chord in his heart his resolve to remain single for ever and a day will melt into thin air. There are no bachelors so old and crusty that they will not marry un- der .favorab ble conditions. The woman does not have to be brilliant, witty, pretty or rich. All he wants is a good woman, @. sweet one, a conpanlouaple woman, one who knows as little of the world as possible. When he runs across such a one, he will dust the cobwebs out of his heart in double quick time and make it ready for her occupancy, though he may have to evict a tenant or two who are merely hangers on
 It takes a good, thrifty wife to keep a. bachelors heart from becoming bat tered and abused with the coming years When he does marry and set tie down, he makes an adorable hus- band. Perhaps he is better off to wait pa tiently for. the right one than to rush into matrinony in his early youth and possibly to regret it ever after Ladies, give the bachelor a chance to prove this his heart is trust worthy.

 CLARA. Better remain single all your life than marry a confirmed ineoriate. If he does not love you enough to stop drinking for your sake he is not so desperately in love with you as you imagine. It is useless to gain the love of the other one who evinces to little interest in you

 Fresh gooseberries, if they are ripe form an excellent combination with cream cheese. If ripe gooseberries canz not be obtained, the green fruit must be stewed the day before. Anttcipat- ing the Sunday night picnic, the hos tess may do this, in which case the fruit Is set on the table in a glass bowl The cream cheese may be used just as 1t comes. or it can be mixed with cup of whipped cream to make it go further and taste a little better. If desired, the cheese and cream so mixed may be placed in a, little mound in the center of a glass dish and the gooseberries poured around them The combination is delicious and may be eaten on or with soda. crackers.

FIGHTS FOR PROTECTION OF
NAMELESS BABIES
The Curran Commission, appoint
. ed by the Illinois legislature, is go
ing to make a fight for the protection
of the nameless babies of Chicago.
The commission, headed by Chair
man Thomas Curran, attended the
hearing into the case of Gertrude
Bleimes, accused by Policeman For
rest L. Watson of obtaining a baby
at baby farm" and trying to pass
it off as hers and his.
The manner in which she is said
to have obtained the baby brought
down the wrath of the commission.
They will begin as soon as possible
an investigation into just how far this
practice extends.
DR.. Carlos MonteZuma, an Indian
physician, testified he secured the
baby for Miss Bleimes from w. F.
Briney, head of the Anna Ross sani-
tarium, because she said she was Mrs.
Watson and her husband would kill
her unless she had a baby.
Montezuma's wife admitted she
went and got the baby by presenting
a letter written by her husband to
Briney, in which she was said to be

KEEPING THE BOYS STRAIGHT

Several gray-haired business men

This talk about mother and the
boys is all very WELL" said one. But
father comes in strong, too. My
father devoted one minute a day TO
US boys that did more at that age to

mothers admonitions. She was a
sweet unworldly little person and we
adored her and reverenced her teach
ings. However, she never could thinA
OF US as anything but her little boys.
and as we grew taller and more
worldly we acquired the usual boyish
sense Of exalted Importance and
might have been led to secretly pat
