FRANK WORKS START.

A Railroad Magnate Who Began Life
with a Flve-Dollar Piece.
When Frank Work, the great Wall
street magnate, was nine years OF age,
his schoolmaster punished him unmer-
cifully by grasping one Of his hands and
pounding the ends Of his fingers with a
ferule until the blood spurted from
them, says the New York Evening Sun.
When he went home he told his mother
that he would never go to that school
again. His mother wisely sympathized
with him and agreed that he should not
again come under the authority Of such
a man.
In commenting on the whipping to his
mother Frank uttered mild cuss word,
and for this his mother promised and
gave him q whipping. This nearly
broke his heart and he plainly told her
1t would be the last whipping she
should ever infiict upon him.
That night he bade his mother good
bye, kissed her affectionately, packed
up his belongings and, with S5 gold
piece and about thirty cents in HIS
pocket, left the house. He has not seen
his mother since.
He worked his passage on a boat to
New Orleans and in course OF time
drifted to New York and into Wall
street, in which neighborhood he has
since made his individuality felt and
grasped sundry situations and dollars.
The strangest part Of his story is that
through all his trials and privations he
never found 1t necessary TO spend the
original gold piece with which he left
home. He Is now seventy-one years old
and as hale and hearty as 1t is possible
for man Of his age TO be, and he has
that coin still in his possession and
treasures 1t more than any thing he
