Wall street par
lance that he wants
to go to par so he
does not usually
leave the
comfort
and protection
of
his Fifth avenue
home if the weather
conditions are for
bidding but the chauce to loan money
at 100 per cent interest which present
ed itself the other day was too much
for him to resist Calling an auto
mobile he was soon at his desk and it
Is said placed over G000000 at the
service of those who wished it badly
enough to pay high Interest rates He
could have received as high as 120 per
cent but all he exacted was 83 to 90
which was about the average between
the extreme fluctuations It Is stated
that he made 20000 in three hours
which was considered pretty good for
a man who becanie an octogenarian
almost ten years ago
It Is said iu Wall street that Mr
Sage was never duped on an invest
ment There Is a story that two pro
moters once called on him to interest
him In a certain scheme They took
their leave having been told that Mr
Sages decision would be mailed to
them in a few days

first promoter hopefully on the way

making him one of the star members
He is the fifth of his name to serve in
the navy The first Stephen Decatur
was a French naval officer who came
to America in the middle of the eight

the Barbary coast His father Stephen
Decatur Sr served In the navy during

Admiral George Dewey as active
head of the navy has a keen interest
in the Annapolis Naval academy and
he is strongly opposed to hazing be
lieving that such practices at Annapo
lis are seriously interfering with the
work that institution should perform
in turning out good officers for ships
of war He is not
ADMIRAL DEWEY
en regarding it
must be eliminated
opposed to evenly
matched fist fights
however as he says
a man who is go
ing to make fighting
his profession in life
must not be afraid
to fight As for
hazing he thinks the
limit of toleration
has been reached
and says Whatev
er the attitude tak
elsewhere it simply
from the Naval
academy It has been stopped at West
Point I believe and it can be wiped
out at Annapolis
The admiral though so good a disci
plinarian has a soft heart under his
coat Just before the battle of Manila
when the order was given to strip for
action the smallest powder boy on the
flagship dropped his coat overboard
He asked permission to jump after it
but was refused He went to the side
of the ship dropped overboard recov
ered his coat and was promptly arrest
ed for disobedience Admiral Dewey
spoke kindly to the youngster who
broke down and said that the coat con
tained his mothers picture which he
had just kissed and he could not bear
to see it lost Deweys eyes filled with
tears He fairly embraced the boy and
ordered him to be released saying
Boys who love their mothers enough
to risk their lives for their pictures

A BALL OF FIRE
Pranks of a Thunderbolt In a Iloaso
In Iarla
Camilla Flammarlou In his book
Thunder and Lightning describes
some of the phenomena of electrical
storms Of the actions of a ball of flro
in Paris he says It was In the Ruo
bL Jacques near the val de Grace The
fire ball burst into the room from tho
chimney knocking over the paper
guard In front of the fireplace In ap
pearance It suggested a young cat gath
ered up In a ball as it were and mov
ing along without using its paws It
approached the tailors legs as If to
play with them The tnllor moved them
away to avoid the contact of which ho
naturally was in terror
After some seconds the globe of flro
rose vertically to tho height of tho
mans face as he sat and he to savo
himself leaned quickly back and fell
over The fire ball continued to rlso
and made Its way toward a hole which
had been made at the top of the chim
ney for the Insertion of a stovepipe In
the winter but which as the tailor pnt
it afterward the Are ball couldnt see
because It was closed up with paper
The ball stripped off the paper neat
ly entered the chimney quite quietly
and having rlsen to the summit pro
duced a tremendous explosion which
sent the chimney pot flying and scat
tered it In bits all over the neighboring
courtyard and surrounding roofs
LIFES LITTLE THINGS
They So a Very Lonp Way TovrnrtI
Making the World Happy
A wild birds song Is a little thing
lost in the deeps of a frowning sky
And yet as It falls on a listening ear
and leaves its message of melody
earths green seems brighter and life
is sweeter all through an autumn day
The coo of a babe Is a little thing
meaningless sound from a vacant
mind
But tis the only sound that all na
tions heed the one clear language that
all races know
A mothers love Is a little thing too
soon alasr forgot
But it typifies to blind humankind
the love and trust and hope divine that
bear with patience calm and sweet the
willful wrongs- In these lives of ours
A passing smile is- a little thing lost
In a world of toil and care
And yet the soul with gloom oppress
ed and the life grown wearied with
burdens hard will happier be in the
afterglow of a smile that is warmly
kind
A kindly word is a little thing a
breath that goes and a sound that dies
But the heart that gives and the
heart that hears may know that It
sings and sings and sings till at last
it blends with the wild birds song and
the coo of babes in what men call the
celestial choir Milwaukee Journal
Lessons For Schoolboy
There Is no question that our fore
fathers supposed that benefit might be
derived from causing- schoolboys to be
spectators of the hangings of criminals
Sir Walter Scott has borne testimony
to this custom being not unknown in
Scotland In The Heart of Midlo
thian Mr Saddletree fe represented
as saying
I promised to ask a half play day to the
schule so that tho bairns might gang and
see the hanging which canna but have a
pleasing effect on their young minds see
ing there Is no knowing what tfiey may
come to themselves Chapter 23

sume have written the above had he
not known that such things had actual

Queries
The Sea Otter
The sea otter is nearly twice the size
of the common river otter and the fur
without finishing or preparation of any
kind is more beautiful as It is stripped
from the animal than the richest seal
skin which has to be scraped plucked
of the long upper hairs and then dyed
before It could be recognized as the
beautiful object which the finished fur
undoubtedly is In the sea otters fur
the soft undercoat the true fur is as
thick as that of the seal and nearly
twice as long while the long outer
hairs are as soft as a sables tail and
often a pale gray which gives to the
whole coat an appearance as of dark
fur slightly frosted over
Bird Confidence
Mr Bells aviary presented a pretty
evidence of mutual confidence among
birds A pair of Java sparrows lived
in a compartment with a bleeding
heart pigeon The latter fell in love
with them and at night always cuddled
a sparrow under each wing When
seen by the light of a lantern the
pigeon seemed to be cuddling two ba
bies one under each wing from which
the cheerful countenances of the little
sparrows looked with blinking eyes

Then turning to another scholar the
