There is at least one journalist who one which has often been very much

many who make $15,000 or $20,000.
Hence innumerable young men and
women would like to know how to en

A young man just back from Lon

Mr. Stead answered thoughtfully.

"Where are you?" reiterated the
stranger. "Well you must have been
among good company last night.
You're in New South Wales, of course.
Where did you expect to be?"
"What month is this?" was the next
question Smith put. Th company
gazed at him in amazement.
"You look sane enough," was the re
ply, "bu you ask idiotic questions.
This is December. Would jou like
to have it altered?"
Half a year had elapsed since Smith
closed his eyes in the California train.
In that time he had crossed half the
globe. When he told his story his
audience was convinced of his insani
ty. When he asked them for money
to travel to the const, he got laughter

In the capital he looked up the la
bor council and narrated his experi
ence to union men. They investigated
and found he was what he represented
himself to be. They arranged for his
return to America, securing a passage
for him on the Siberia.
The fiist letter Smith received from
his home at Los Angeles contained
news of the death of his wife.

the nursemaid caught the malady and
had to go home. She was sick for
about two weeks. The other day her
mother came to the boarding house
and demanded damages because her
daughter had caught the measles from
our children. She thought a month's
wages and payment of the doctor's
bill would be about right and threat
to sue me if I don't come up with

a holiday, eh. Well, honestly, I really
considered for a moment taking a holi

meetings to-day, and I feel that I
ought to attend. Then, I get $20 for
each meeting, and a lunch thrown in."
Russell Sage expects to reach the
par of liie by the same methods he
has pursued in bringing to this mark
railroads, steamship lines or mining
venturesby hard work, by frugality,
by system, by rigid obedience to the
laws of health.
"I take every day as it comes," lie
sajs. "My theory for a long life is
that temperance lengthens the days
of all. Plenty of sleep, and escape
from worry as much as possible
Worry and lack of rest break down
the strongest men. I get up every
morning at 6 o'clock, and get to my
office at 9. I leave at 5 p. m. I go

He accounts for all his successes by
this regime. I

him zest for industry and industry,
intelligent industry, leads on to pros

but the great majority of men con
tinually ignore what is so plain. It
is perfectly obvious that dissolute
habits can end in but one thing

at some period of the life of a man of
evil ways. A crying sin of to-day is
profligacy. Th wasting of money en
tails a vast amount of suffering for
some one and often leads to actual
crime.*'
The man is never idle consid
ers idleness is not only expensive,
but a detriment to good health.
"Because a man is rich, there is no
reason or excuse for his being idle,"
he says. "A slothful man, be he rich
or poor, is not a desirable member of
society. presents a bad example.
The rich man is not expected to toil
with pick and shovel, but human soci
ety places upon him the obligations
to give his best thoughts to the use
of his wealth, so that his accumula
tion may bestow good upon otheis as
well ,as himself."
The veteran keeps pretty closely to
his office, at No. 31 Nassau street,
and, regularly at noon trudges to the
Western Union building, at 195 Broad
way, lo luncheon. Of recent jeais,
since the Norcross adventure in
which the dynamiter lost his own life
and severely injured I^tidlaw in at
tempting to kill Mr Sage, he is very
careful as to whom he admits into his
office. But his eye tea bright as ever
and the passing yeais do not seem
to alter his appearance.
A man who met him recently thus
describes him "Ho is almost 90
years old, and does not look to be GO.
He is tall, thin, but not wasted. His
body is that of a man who is aging
without excess. His shoulders are a
bit stooped. His forehead is not the
bulging dome of so many successful
Americans. It slopes backward and
gets narrower toward the top. ,Hi
face is not a strong one. In years
gone by it may have been stern, or
it may not. It was covered with a
beard, but is now smooth-shaven. It
