HE KEPT HIS vow.
A Mlllionaire's Son Running an Engine
ON n Texas Railway.


There is man running an engine ON
the San Antonio division of the South
ern Pacific Railway Company between
this city and Del Rio, whose name is ia
miliar to many people in Indiana, writes
a San Antonio correspondent of the Gin
cinnati Enquirer. He is no other than
Frank Bracaw, the son of one of the
richest men in Terre Haute, Ind, whose
wealth is reckoned in the millions He
is one of the coolest, most unassuming
and most reliable engineers in the serv-
ice, and has hosts of friends in this city,
none of whom, however, knew his his
tory until to-day, when a most affecting
accident brought it to light,
The people of Terre Haute will re-
member Frank as dashing society man
of that city ten years ago, He drove
fast horses, and his way was paid by his
| father without question, and he had u
monthly cash allowance of $50 Some
! trouble arose between father and son,
/ the nature of which is unknown, and
the son left home vowing never to
darken the threshold of the parental
| home
Seven years sped swiftly by, and
Franks sister lay upon her deathbed.
Detectives were put upon the track of
her brother. All the detective agencies
in the country were furnished his de-
scription and directed to leave no stone
unturned in the effort to find him, but
to no avail. He mad been completely
swallowed up in the great world, and his
sister died without seeing him.
Three more years passed away. A
favorite cousin, the wife of an army Off
Ger, came to Del Rio with her husband,
who is now in command of the post al
that place. To-day they We're dining,
as usual, at the Nalyerde Hotel. A nice
looking young man sat at u table neal
them and observed the lady attentiyely
Having finished eating he passed out
through the office and asked the clerk il
the lady wasn't Mrs. Wheeler. Beine
answered in the affirmative, he added
'She is my own cousin, and went on
The lady now came out, and the clerl
asked
''Do you see that handsome young
man just going out?'
"Ees."
lie says he is your cousin"
She turned quickly observed hin
more closely, flood of recognition cam,
over her and She called sharply
Frank" The man went ON as thougl
he didn't hear, but She ran after hin
and caught him. A pathetic scene fol
lowed, in which both actors were move,
to tears, The lady besought him to re
turn to his parents, who are now oil,
and feeble, but he remained obdurat

In commenting on recent case OF
death attributed by coroners jury to
the action Of pickles which had been
eaten short time previously, the Lon
don Lancet says: There was here an
evident connection between the alleged
cause and its effect, but some further
explanation is certainly desirable, Not
withstanding the naturally stimulant
property of these condiments, this is, to
our mind, insufficient in itself to ac-
count for fatal choleraic diarrh9a. The
facts of the case are much more sugges-

a CASHIERS REVENGE.



The cashier of South Water street
fruit house and the president of one OF
the biggest banks in town had finan-
cial disagreement Saturday afternoon
and, according to the Chicago Tribune,
the cashier came off victorious. The
bank is noted for its unbending business
methods A draft for 81 1900 on the
South Water street firm came to the
bank. The officers demanded payment
with certified check before they would
turn over the bill of lading accompany
ing the draft. The cashier of the fruit
house and the president of the bank
had lively conversation through the
telephone.
"our check is rood at any bank in
town" said the young man. "We can't
keep a stock of certified checks on
hand"
1--WE won't accept any thing but a
certified check said the president.
The young man returned to his desk
and thought, Then he hired horse
and buggy and drove over TO another
bank, where he drew out 81, 500 in big
silver dollars. He placed them in bag
and drove back to the store where two
laborers carried the heavy load into the
office At four o'clock the notary of the
bank appeared.
There's your money" said the young
man, triumphantly pointing to the bag.
The notary tried to lift the bag, but he
was not strong and 800 OF those cart.
wheel dollars weigh over 81 pounds
The bag never budged. The notary
pleaded to be allowed to have the bag
carried over to the bank. The young
man insisted that he must have hi!
! draft and his bill of lading at once anc
that the necessary counting must b,
| done in the store. The notary was pro
fame, but profanity didn't do any good
and he was diplomatic, and diplomac,
! failed to work. In the end he wa
| forced to send for three clerks to coun
the money and hire an express wagol
to carry the bag TO the bank Then h
turned over the paper and the youni
man locked the safe and went home t
prepare for the peaceful Sabbath day.

On the plantation of Mr.. John II.
Roberts, near Robertyille, 5. G. there is a
tree, if not destroyed by the turpentine
hands, that does not touch the ground
by six feet. A pine sapling cut down at
some period unknown to the Oldest in.
habitant lodged on the limb Of an dja-
cent tree. The growth of the limb and
tree gradually closed around it until ii
became completely imbedded. Drawing
its life from the tree it grows and pre-
sents luxurious appearance. All trace
of the stump from which it was cut has
long since disappeared.

A Chattanooga lawyer has peculiar
views of the duties of policemen. He
wrote to Cincinnati for information
about his missing son. He wants the
policeman that finds him to obtain for
him situation in some lawyers office,
the boy being good stenographer. The

More than that, the officer is to see that
the boy pays his board and behaves him
self, and is then to report the lads pro

ABOUT Displaved ;5ooda.

There is an old English law, am told,
whereby a ''shopkeeper' can be COM
PEELED to take from his show window
and sell at the price marked any article
a customer points out. Several com
paratively recent arrivals in this coun-
try have cited this to me, and kicked
with both feet because of refusals to
spoil a show window display by taking
q pair of shoes of brand and size Of
which there are hundreds in stock. As
far as L can learn the enactment was in
tended to prevent the manufacture of
samples for windows and the palming
off ON persons attracted thereby of
something equally as good"
However true it may be that the old
English common law regards the price
on an article in window as contract
between the store owner and any passer-
by who tenders the money, there is no
such ordinance or law here. Often peo-
pie insist on having something from the
window, and decline to accept its exact
duplicate. In that case, if the article is
an expensive one, we strain the point
and get it down; but if it is something
low priced we give the customer the al
tentative of taking duplicate or
nothing. in St. Louis Globe
