THE RICHEST MAN. UNCLE RUSSEL SAGE GIVES ADVICE TO A BOY. The Sage of Wnll Street Thinks There Are As Many Opportunities Tutluy us Kver— Itelieves Absolute Honesty to lie Ne- i cessary to the Aecnmulation of Wealth. i If there is a man in New York who is competent to give advice on the sel- ' encc of making money it is Ituss 'll Sage. He started without worldly ad- I van luges and he has piled up a for- ; tune of forty or fifty million dollars. He made every penny of it himself, j ' and he Is making more right along. j Itussell Sage lias devoted his whole life to making money. He has praeti , cally no other pleasure, lie does not even care for power, as do most men who have accumulated large fortunes, lie looks upon display as a waste. A boy went to Mr. Sage to get his advice. lie whs very bright, self-reli ant youth, and he honestly wished foi Mr. Sage's opinion. The rich man talked to him more openly than it is i likely that he would have talked to a man. The youth first met Mr. Sage coming out of his office, and requested an in terview. The financier said that he was very busy that day, and lie wasn't sure that lie could spare time any day. The bov went back to the ollice again and persuaded tlie cashier to ad mit liim to Mr. Sago's room. The mil lionaire was tipped back in a cliair, his feet resting against a radiator, lie was examining the tape of a stock ticker. "I have come," said the caller, "to ask you about tilings that are of deep inter,st to me ntiH to all young men Just starting out on their careers. Will you try to answer them as if you were mi vising your own sons." "Why, yes: I'll answer them to the best of iiiy ability." ho replied. "What are th • opportunities for boys to gel rich nowadays? Are there as many opportunities as there were fif teen or twenty years ago?" •T>i' course titer, aro.l' responded iff. Sage with energy. "There are chances now to make money in some thing besides real estate. There tire more men in the field now. but the field is wider. I think that there is as great a chance for hoys to get rich in as tli .re was fifteen or even •tw i it.v-live years ago. At any rate, then is always room for bright .voting nn 11 Conditions never change in that Tespi i t." Mi RUSSELL SAOE. "Do you think that there is any one business or profession that offers more opportunities than the others? There is a complaint met witli everywhere about overcrowding." "I do not think there is any one spe cial nv.Miuo which offers chances bet ter titan others. It depends largely uikiu flic man." "What about your business, Mr. Sage? Is there an opening in it for a bright young man?" The financier chuckled in his pecul iar way and took ids feet down from the radiator. Ho was becoming in terested. He looked nt the quotations, which may or may not have meant much to hfm, before he answer ><l. "Yes." lie said, "I believe that my line still offers opportunities for young men to get wealth. Hut I won't say that it offers biter chances than any other business. You must know j that 11 is not every young man who ' can make it a success." Again Mr. Sage leoked at the tick er and his thoughts flew away. llis questioner asked him How lie had! startd in life, particularly about his' boyhood, of which almost nothing lias ever been printed. "Well, I started out very young," j replied the man who Is worth more than $40,000,000. "I was only fifteen | years old when I b-gnn as a clerk in aj store. 1 slaved in that store for font j years. When I was nineteen 1 start ed in business for myself. "And you have never work il for any one but yourself since?" "No;'I have been my own employer over since." There was a sugg stion of triumph tn Mr. Sage's tone. It was plain that j the thought gave him great sutisfac-, tion. "Did you have many hard struggles before you reached the top of the lad-. del' ?" "I had many hard knocks. Ev-'ry young man must expect that when he starts out" "How long did you go to school? What kind of an education did you hare?" "I educated myself," was the reply, 1 and again that shade of triumph was In bis voice. "I used to study at night and got my knowledge at odd sMrnes. I belonged to a debating soci ety, too. I used to he one of the best ! speakers In the club." This will surprise many people who are familiar only with the later years 'f Mr. Sage's life. It surprised the who had read, a deal about him. I lie said something about Mr. Sage giving up public speaking. "No," returned Mr. Sage, "I kept up public speaking for many years, until 1 became bo old that my voice weakened. "Do you think a boy should have any special training for a business career?" "No. All knowledge comes in handy when you are iu an office. I did a lot of general readlDg when 1 was a boy and 1 have never regretted it.". "Would you advise a young man to go to college if he can?" "A college education comes iu han dy in the way that I have mentioned. It adds to the young man's fund of general knowledge. Moat young men could spend four years to better ad vantage, though." "What would you suggest us a good investment for a young man's sav ings?" lie was asked. "You know that there are thousands of young men who have saved from $5O to $lOO who are at a loss to know what to do with it. Is there any way iu which so small a sum call he invested?" "Certainly. There are a number of ways in which a young tnan can place his money so that it will yield him a good return. He could buy one share in a good railroad stock or the shares of snm > solid bank would lie a good thing. If he hasn't money enough to buy a whole share he can find some companies which sell half and even quarter shares. But he must be very careful. Hot him tie sure that it is perfectly good stock nuil that he is in no danger of losing his capital. When lie makes a profit on the principal lie may Ik- a little more reckless, per haps. Hut no young mini should ever lose ids principal, for if he does, lie must start all over again." "Then you don't believe in the axi om, 'Nothing risk, nothing gain?'" "That's all very well, but yon mus-t never risk your principal." The caller said that he had be n sometimes asked to iurest a few dol lars in speculating ill corn and wheat and stock. "Don't ever do it." said Mr. Sage vig orously. "You would lose ev 'l'ythlng." "if a young man saves ids money and invests in one or two good shares at a time, there is no tv.is. u why he should not be rich, is there?" "None in tit - world, hut few youths realize that," declared the financier. There was a point which troubled the young man seeking advice, lie nskeil Mr. Sage If lie thought honest) was necessary in order to succeed in business and if most millionaires were holiest. "Why, of course a man must lie inm ost in his dealings, or he would soon C'ttse to be trusted by those with whom lie does business," declared Mr. Sage. "The millionaires of to-day must have been honest or tlicy would not be rich. It is impossible for a dishonest man to stay rich any I ugtlt of time." Another tiling that bothered the young man was put in the form of a question: "l)o millionaires sometimes feel that their wealth is a burden and that tlmy would rather not have so much money?" "Do I look as if my money was a burden?" asked Mr. Sage. "Wealth cannot become a burden unless it is foolishly invests!. When you have your money iu safe bauds it cannot help being a comfort. To me. of course, it is a pleasure. 1 might have been as happy without it, but I would not care to make the experiment." lie laughed heartily nt the sugges tion and then his face sneered. "I know once what it was to lie without it," h> said, "and that is why I atn not making a show with it now." When Mr. Rage dismissed his caller he invited the young man to come again, saying: "I will be glad to talk with you. I take a great interest in boys." It is interesting to know how this man. a limit whom so many hard tilings are saiTl in Wall str >ct. impressed the youth who hud gone to hint for ad vice. "I shall always romcmi *r him as a kind and fatherly old gentleman." says the liny, "who took a deep and genuine interest In tn ■ and iu nil boys. | He gave me rime that I am sure was | worth a lot o' - money and out of pure good will and generosity." There are no boys in Itussell Sage's [ home, no children at all. The lonely . old mat. liar, long passed the three scuip and ten allotted to man. Stand ing in tile shadow of declining years.

A STARTLED ISOTHEB Strange Happening to Her Four-year Old Daughter—Did not Realize the Danger until too Late. From the Bulletin, Freeport, 111. While busy at work in her home. Mrs. Wil-1 limn Shay, corner of Taylor and Hancock Avenues, Freeport, 111., was startled by hear ing a noise, just behind her. Turning quickly who saw creeping towurd her, her four- vear-ohl daughter, Beatrice. The child moved over the tloor witn an ellort, hut sccuied tilled with joy at finding her mother, J " Beatrice Shay. The rest of the happening is best told in the mother's own words. She said : "On the 28th of Sept. 1896, while in the bloom of health Beatrice was suddenly ami severely atllieted witli spinal meningitis. Strong and vigorous before, in live weeks she became feeble and suffered from a paralytic stroke which twisted her head hack to the side nnd made it impossible for her to move a limb. Her speech however was not affected. We called in our family doctor, "ii" of the most experienced and successful practitioners in Ihecity. He considered the cuse a very grave one. "The child's body was bandaged to keep her in position. Soon' it was seen that other means must be adopted. Little Beatrice, much against her will, was housed up in a plaster paris jacket which she wore for sev eral months.

It was then that my husband's oppor tune visit to u drugstore brought us the , means which led to the cure of our child. While there he learned of the wonderful ■ power of l)r. Williams' Pink Pills for Pale People, and deeided to buy some for our daughter's benefit. "We tried them and the hopes which we bad fixed regarding their merits were much more than realized before one box of tlie pills had been used. " Busy in my kitchen one afternoon I was startled with the ery of Mamma' from little Beatrice who was creeping towurd me. I had placed her on an improvised bed 111 the parlor comfortably close to the fireside and given her some books and playthings. She became tired of waiting for me to come back ami made up her mind to go to me, so her story 'My Pink Pills made ine walk,' which she tells everyone who conies to our house, was then for the first time verified. She lias walked ever since. She has now taken about nine boxes of the pills ami her pale and pinched face has been growing rosv, and her limbs gained strength day bv day. She sleeps all night long now, while before faking i the pills she could rest but a few hours ut a time.
