ROTHSCHILD AND HIS CASHIER.
The Great Banker Meets the Heavy Losse
Sustained by a Former Clerk.

The Great Banker Meets the Heavy Losses
Sustained by a Former Clerk.
Here is a story about the head Of the
clearinghouse of Rothschilds. Some years
ago the old cashier Of the great establish
ment went TO Rotbschild and told him that
alter thirty years Of service he had managed
to save 250,OO0 francs, and he desired to go
into business for himself. His employer
regretted his cashiers departure, but babe
him good luck The cashier embarked in
speculation ana in a short time lost every
cent. Recognizing the fact that while he
was good servant he was poor master
he called on the Rothsehilds, told his story,
and asked for unemployment
The banker installed him in his old place,
and advancing him a years salary advised
him to invest it in a certain stock. The
cashier did so. The banker instructed his
brokers how to act. and between them they
sent the price up 10 a point at which the
banker advised the cashier to sell. The
cashier did so at a profit that recouped him
for his losses. The price then settled down
10 its normal figure. and the banker charged
himself with the $780, 900 francs which he
knew his old employee would have been too
proud TO take outright as a gift.-Lond0n

DIED WITH HIS BOOTS OFF.

How a Robber Was Disposed OF in a
Frontier Camp.
you have heard a good deal about men
who have died with their boots on" said an
old citizen of Butte City. THAT act was
supposed TO represent a certain degree of
LerOism. l am reminded of an incident
which took place about thirty years ago. A
fellow had robbed one Of the men in the
camp and there was good deal OF excite
ment The miners turned out and the fell
low who bad committed the robbery backed
out Of town. The posse followed and Occa-
sionally a shot was fired, but so great re-
Spect did the early miners have for justice
that the attack OF whole town on this one
man made the attacking party give the fell
low a show. lie fell back. When he
reached a poiBt at the base Of the mountain
he dropped into dugou and almost dis
appeared.
"The attacking party followed, and when
they got IN haliIng distance they called on
him to surrender. He refused. They told
him they would give him time to consider,
and assured him that he would be given a
fair trial If lie would come out. He still re-
fused. just about the time the word TO fire
was to be given the fellow in the hole threw
up one hand and asked TO be permitted to
make a statement. His request was granted.
He told them that he had concluded 10 die,
but he wanted to die like Christian gentle
man and not like an outlaw. The request
was granted, but the leader of the posse
called back to him that lie thought he would
require some instructions on that point. The
fellow in the hole said he guessed not. He
was then told to make himself ready. He
pulled OFF one boot and then the other.
Then he threw them outside his hiding
place and said:
s. i die like Christian gentleman. die
with my boots OFF.
4 I'll r,1 h H.
fellow dropped back. Twenty bullets went
into his body. And as the posse drove away
they took off their hats to the dead man as
the rode and looked at his body. And that
night after a successful game in the city,
the hat was passed around and enough money
raised to put the body in a coffin and send it
back to the home whence be had come. y
