Wait H. Sage, Traveling Salesman, Recovering from Injury.

Walt H. Sage, who sells McLaughlin coffees and who iS; Well known in Rensselaer, is recovering from an injury that kept him confined to •his home from Jan. 29th to March 23rd. He was leaving a train at Huntington on the day the injury occurred, and stepped on the edge of the small- stool which the brakeman had set ori the platform. The stool turned and so did Walt and so did his right ankle. Ligaments in the latter were torn and the injury was very painful; Walt, however, did nbt lose his powers of speech and will be able to sing a song of McLaughlin superiority to his customers that will fill his. order book just as of old. He waS here Friday and aside from a slight flat tire effect on the starboard side is just as good as he was before he started to take a drink (of coffee) at Huntington.
