Russell Sage, the New York million aire is a remarkable example of the American business roan who finds pleas ure only in work. Despite the fact that on last Thursday he became 88 years old, the aged financier put in the day at his office as usual, and be de clares he will work to the end ' Idle ness is unhappiness," he says. ' The older a person gets, the more valuable his experience becomes I owe it to myself and to those connected with me ' in business to keep at work." Even Mr. Sage, careful business man that he is, probably does not know within sever al millions of dollars the sum total of his wealth. And yet he prefers work to the ease and comfort of his library. It is probable that to a man of his ten dencies. there is more comfort in his daily labor than any form of what he terms "idleness" would bring. Ho has the habit of work, as he says, and it is difficult to break habits when one has passed the age of eighty. Picnics UIKI Reunions. Aug. 17—Woodmen's picnic at Ala meda Park, Butler.
