A former Baltimorean who wa* a close friend of a Philadelphia physician whose specialty was kidney diseases relates the following aa the meth-td by which Russell Sage paid the doctor a bill: The physician wa* ou a visit to a friend in New York. Mr. Sage was very ill at hl* home from a diseased kidney. Hearing that the Philadelphia d<><for was in New York, Mr. Sage re quested him to cull. The doctor did so. and withlu ten days Mr. Sage was a well man. A check, signed by Mr. Sage, with the amount left blank, wa> handed the doctor, who declined it stating that be could not break his In violable rule of confining Ills practice Strictly to office work. When he visit ed ¡>eople who were too poor or physic ally unable to get to his office be never accepted pay for bls service*. During his visits to Mr. Sage's home the doctor was accompanied by bi* daughter, a winsome mlsa of ten years. About a month after the occurrence the doctor’s little daughter received a tele gram from a Wall street broker which read: “By order of Mr. Russell Sage, 1 have bought for your account ---- shares of ---- stock.” As soon a* the doctor read the dispatch be hurried to a Philadelphia friend, who wa* a bro ker, and ordered him to buy---- shares of the stock mentioned for his (the doc tor’s) account The stock fluctuated, and when it was selling at a price which would pay a g<xxl profit the broker advised the doctor to sell, but the doctor did not take the advice. I .a ter a dispatch came from the New York broker to the little girl. It read: “Have sold for your account---- shares of---- stock." The doctor immediately unloaded his holdings. These transac tions were repeated several times and not only made the doctor a small for tune, but won for him a reputation a* a shrewd financier. A final telegram came from New York for the little girl: “Have closed out your holdings and mall you a check for thousands." The doctor unloaded and dropped out of the stock market as suddenly as he had entered It, much to the mystifica tion of his broker and friends, who bad heard of his successes, but never knew whether to attribute them to a “Henri etta'’ luck or to careful study of the stock-dealt In.—Baltimore Sun.

So it is likely that no one will dispute the correctness of the description which Sewell Ford gives In “Horses Nine,” published by Scr.biiera. The horse In question la Pasha, a half blood Arab hunter that baa been pressed Into service in Stuart’s Black Horse cavalry. The story runs: Early the next morning Pasha was awakened by the distant growl ot heavy guns, By daylight he was on the move, thousands of other horses with him. Nearer and nearer they rode to the place where the guns were growling. Sometimes they were on roads, sometimes they crossed fields, and agnln they plunged Into the w<xxl* where the low branches struck one's eyes and scratched one’s flanks. At last they broke clear of the trees to come suddenly' upon such a scene as Pasha had never before witnessed. Fur across the open field be could see troop on troop of horses coming to ward him. They seemed to be pour ing over the crest of a low bill, as If driven onward by some unseen force behind. Instantly Pasha heard, rising from the throats of thousands of rid era on either side and lx.*hlnd him. that fierce, wild yell which he had come to know meant the approach of trouble.

Next the bugles be gun to sound, and in quick obedience the horses formed in line just on the edge of the woods, a line which stretch ed und stretched oil either flank until one could hardly see where It ended. From the distant line came no an swering cry, but Pasha could hear the bugles blowing, and be could see the fronts massing. Theu came the order to charge at a gallop. This set I’asba to tugging eagerly at the bit. but for what reason be did not know.
