entered Troy, N. Y, seminary, where,
by rigid communication real priva-

which enabled her to qualify as a
school teacher.
Was School Teacher.
Miss Slocum was forty years old and
teaching school at Troy when she met
Russell Sage. who a short time before
had emerged from the grocery bust
ness and was conducting a banking
establishment at Watervliet, across
the river from Troy. Sage was then
fifty-two years old and so intent upon
building up a fortune that he had lit
tie time for sentiment. After a brief
courtship the school teacher became
the bride of the future multi-miIlion-
aire.
When she and her husband moved
to New York city, where Sage pur-
chased a seat on the stock exchange,
became associated with Jay Gould
and began to pile up millions from
railroad investments, Mrs. Sage
took a keen interest in her hus-
bands affairs and aided and encOuI
aged him. To her wise counsel Sage
attributed the success OF many of his
boldest financial strokes.
During the life of her husband she
gave literally to worthy charities
aiding chiefly women and children.
When Russell Sage died in 1906, the
struggling school teacher of former
years became mistress Of a fortune
OF $T0OOO.OOO or more.
-
band Mrs. Sage organized the Sage
Foundation "for the improvement
OF social and living conditions in the
United States" and set apart 100000
600 for its endowment. The Sage
Foundation Homes Company OBJ
tanned a large tract of land on Long
Island and erected model homes for
working men. The moderate rents
returned a small interest on the in
vestment and this was used for
charities.
The total Of Mrs. SaEe's benefac-
lions will perhaps never be known.
She gave millicns for educational pur-
poses and more millions for the ad-
vancement of science and religion
She was particularly interested in
child-helping and child-hygiene de-
partments of the Sage Foundation.
In her addresses to those who
shared her bounty, as well as on
other occasions. Mrs. Sage preached a
gospel Of self-reliance, and drew
from the struggles of her early life
lesson which she sought to impress
upon young womanhood. She bitterly
condemned the frivolities and help
lessness OF wealthy women. and, on
the eightieth anniversary of her
birth, she said:
IF l had a daughter I would have
seen that she was thoroughly pro-
hcient in homework, in sewing and
cooking. All girls. irrespective of
wealth or station, should be. Why.
II my cook should leave me today l

she did for me. ! never have been

over MOUNTAINS IN
RUNAWAY BALLOON

How it feels to be in a runaway
army observation balloon and blown
1900 feet over the Cascade mountains
in a raging windstorm. and then to
jump for safety and land in a tomato
patch, is the story told by Lieut.. II.
c. HahlbecR. an observer attached to
the army balloon school at Arcadia,
Cal.
In his report OF the incident he
says: THE balloon was torn loose
from its winch by a gale running
thirty or forty miles an hour. and so
violent that at times the basket OF
the balloon was at an angle Of more
than As degrees from perpendicular"
As soon as the balloon was freed
from its restraining rope 1t assembled
rapidly, he states, and only began Its
downward course when the safety
valve was opened.
At the height of $500 feet the lieu
tenant went over the side of the bal
loon and landed in the tomato patch
near the landing field.
The balloon anchored safely" in
some barbed wire entanglements.

Discussion upon the point has run

what appears to be the true explana-

the evidence Of ancient inscriptions
on tOmbs and temples. This engineer
states that in building pyramid the
Egyptians constructed an inclined
roadway to the level Of which the work
had reached.
As the pyramid grew taller the an

way passed all the material required

TREASURES LOST TO HISTORY

Fortified by grim rocks from the

century were tossed up on this island,
where they found no gold, but had
an interesting time. When they start

they came upon stone temple. Lured
by the fumes Of incense. they entered
and saw many idols representing god,

Oficiating at the ceremonies were

decked out with feathers and orna-

ART OF WALKING REVIVED
That More People Take Beneficial Elk.
ercise Is an Indirect Result
Of Great War.

The human race was forgetting the
art Of walking. Vanity had had some
thing to do with it-and the shoemak-
ers. who catered to vanity. For the
truth was, people were paying more
attention to the style of the shoe than
to the comfort Of the foot. Then came
the war. 5000
Whatever else they are called upon
to do, soldiers have to walk. In walk
Ing, one must have shoes that fit
shoes that do not cramp the foot, shoes
with fiat soles and low heels. So the
armies Of the world provided their SOL
diers with shoes In which they could
wnlk-and the soldiers found the walk
Ing easy.
Seeing these millions of soldiers
with good feet, properly shod and find
Ing that they could walk for long dis
tances without firing, the rest OF the
world gradually came to adopt sensi-
BILE shoes. In the fitness of time all
Of us may learn to walk, and when
we do we shall find that we had for
many years overlooked the most de-
lightful process of locomotion that has
rs yet been invented.
Walking is the best exercise that
has been devised, because 1t is the
most natural. Man is walking nni-
NAL; the process Of walking involves
every nerve and muscle of the body
and insures health. Men and women
who walk do not suffer from any kind
of disease. But the first principle of
walking is proper shoe for the foot.
