SAGE'S ADVICE TO THE YOUNG
Some Simple Rules I or Success
From One of the World’s
Wealthiest Men
Russell Sage who be Aran life hs a
clerk in a country store at a salary
of $4 a month and board, and who
died last week in New \ork City
with a fortune of one hundred mil
lion dollars, was a great believer
in simplicity and economy, as the
following, written by him only a
few years before his death, will
show:
“Economy is the first element
of success. No young man needs
three or four suits of clothes. Two
are enough. The only thought a
young man needs to spend on his
wardrobe is to look out for bar
gains and get all his clothes at the
lowest price.
“Every young man should watch
the clothing market as closely as a
successful Wall street broker
watches the stock market. When
in need of anything to wear our
young men should look out for
bargains advertised by the stores.
“Reasonable economy is what 1
preach, for our society is being
ruined by unreasonable extrava
gances.
“I think there is as great chance
for boys to get rich now as there
was fifteen or even twenty five
years ago. At any rate, there is
always room for bright young men.
1 do not think there is any one
special avenue which oilers better
chances than others. It depends
largely upon the man.
“A college education comes in
handy in a way. It adds to the
young man’s fund of general
knowledge. Most young men
could spend four years to better
advantage, though.
“There is no such thing as a
‘money curse’—the blight of ill
gotten wealth—which, some de*
clare, drives to suicide.
“Don’t drink. Don’t smoke.
Get up early.
“Success comes to the man who
has determination and persistence
against all odds. On<“ of the se
Your being
married
is another big reason
for buying
You won't have to
buy another pair so
soon!
They have the style,
shape and poise which
never wear out!
And the patent "Urfit."
Good soles strong heels
- best leather—finest fin
ish.
Canvas lined —fast-color
hooks and eyelets.
"JUST AS LAST!"
GRIFFITH & MORROW
crets of success is to go right
ahead, unruffled by victory as well
as not east down by defeat.”
THINGS MR. SAGE NEVER DID
He never bought a suit of
clothes that cost more than sfcH.
He never wore a hat that cost
more than $2.
He never tasted wine or liquor
of any kind in his life.
He never rode a step if he could
walk.
He never took a day’s vacation
and never gave his clerks one.
He never paid any man’s car
fare but his own.
He never made love to any wo
man but his wife.

STUNG TO DEATH
,Joe Genett lost a valuable horse
at Van Buren in an unusual man
ner. He had been given permis
mission to graze his horse on a
neighbor’s lawn. The neighbor
has a number of hives of bees and
they appeared to be in an ugly
mood that day, or at least one
hive of them was on the war path.
While the horse was so tied that it
! could not disturb the hives, their
ire was raised and they began
stinging the animal. It was not!
long until it appeared as if an en
tire swarm had settled on the ani
mal, stinging it viciously.. It
was some time before the frantic
i brute broke its tether and ran.
There was a small, shallow pool of
water nearby and to this the horse
ran and, dropping down, rolled
over as best it could to rid itself
of its tormentors. Mr. Genett
was called from his business but
by the time he reached the scene
the horse was dead, the bees hav
ing killed it in about half an hour
after attacking it.
