AFTER TWENTY ONE YEARS
A San Antonio Policeman Finds
His Father.

Police Officer Charles Hildreth Is
one of the happiest men in San Anto-
MO today and the cause of it all is the
fact that he has just received letter
from his father from whom he has not
heard a word in 81 years.
The last time Mr.. Hildreth saw Or
heard of his father was when he left
his fathers home in Lowell, Mass, 81
years ago. He joined the army shortly
after leaving and gradually drifted out
west among the Indians when for q
time all memories of home escaped him
in the wild excitement of his frontier
life and he failed to write. When he
did write his father had left that
place and he considered that he had
heard from him for the last time and
continued soldering with Uncle Sam
in troop A, Fifth cavalry, until the
regiment took station in this city,
when, upon completing his last term OF
enlistment, he decided to make his
discharge. So Sergeant Charles Hill
dreth became Citizen Charles Hildreth
after wearing Uncle Sans blue for Is
years.
Since that time Mr.. Hildreth has
continued to reside in this city, most
of which time he has been on the
police force where he has made as
good a record as he did in the army
He heard nothing of his father. how
ever, though he repeatedly made en-
deavors to do so, until recently
through friend he heard that there
was Hildreth in Charles City, Iowa,
whose initials, A. G., were the same as
his fathers.
Mr.. Hildreth Immediately wrote to
the postmaster of the place iuquiring
about the Mr.. A. G.. G.aildreth, and the
postmaster referred the letter to the
man inquired about, who proved to be
the long sought father of San Antonio's
excellent policeman, las was subsequent
ly proven by a letter just received from
him by the officer.
The letter is very lengthy one and
just such letter as would be expected
to pass from father to son from
whom he had not heard in score of
years. The letter is a very kind faith

was working at the time of the mur-

tween De Mules and j. A. Baird Of
this city prior to the death of the tur-
quoise king for possession of a one
fourth interest.
The immense amount of advertising
given the mines in the press dispatches
from Ell Paso has had the effect of
bringing to light the heirs of the de-

A sister living in Nebraska has al
ready come forward with her claim to
the estate. She telegraphed it in to-
day to Attorney W. A. Hawkins,
The administrator expects to hear

take law suit to decide who is to sue

sion of the mines.

Is What Snow Costs in New York.

The great snow storm in New York
is thus vividly described by q writer in
the New York Journal:
Thousands of rich children, weak
but happy, had their little sleds haul

To them asblizzard simply means an
opportunity for sleighing. Thousands
OF other children, strong and equal

cOasted and wrangled and pulled hair
In the tenement districts. To them the
snow was a grand diversion, godsend.
The missions were filed with homeless
men. The storm made begging an un-
heard of misery. One can walk with
holes in his shoes when tb ere is no
snow.
Men walking along Broadway, near
Ninth street, during the storm on Sat-
urday night, tell strange stories. They
say that crouched against the iron
fence, balf buried in the drifting snow,
near Fleischmann's bakery, were about
hundred gaunt men. They turned
their ragged collars up about their
ears and shivered and shook and
moaned until the snow was up to their
knees. They we're waiting for q loaf
OF bread each. The cafes shope warm
and bright about them. Above them
between them and heaven-rolled the

Of them fell down and wept.
Others crouched down until the
cold and snow drove the blood
back to their hearts and made them
feel drowsy, and filed them with
dreams of happier days. Some walked
away, cursing. But the long line hung
there, dumb and ragged, enduring the
storm as brutes do until the good bak-
er came and gave them bread.

FINDING MONEY.
Something ThattIIs n Much Better
Thing to Do, Albeit a Little In
the Same Line.

Surprising you found in the streets, or
elsewhere. considerable sum of money, and
after honest and diigent but vain effort to
discover the loser, became satisfied that you
were entitled to it, it would be something
you would hardly cease talking about to your
dying day. Even the lucky phase of the
matter would in time be dimmed in your
mind by the idea that it was through some
merit of your own that you obtained the
money. and the event would be one over
which you would congratulate yourself a
hundred times more than as though you had
made or saved the sum in the regular rou-
tine of business. Therein is where injustice
would be done to yourself. for the money
received through legitimate effort, or better
seif-denial. is vastly more creditable than
the mere windfall Of luck which may only
come once in a lifetime.
The determination for instance, to take out
life insurance, and the persistent effort to
maintain the policy and even, perhaps to
add to it year by year in the way of accrued
dividends. is something that man has g.
right to brag of to himself and incidentally
Just little to others.
1t is proper enough to keep the left hand
In ignorance of what the right is doing in a.
able alike to Judgment and grit as taking
and perpetuating life insurance a man has
the right If not the positive duty. to see that
his light is not hidden under the bushel At
any rate. he Is more entitled to congratulate
himself than as though he had simply found

repute to himself and luck to posterity

The presence of burglar at the residence of

ruption that he fled from the house without
any plumber. He escaped by way of the
front door which had been opened with
skeleton keys. The girl fed to the upper

cries awakened several neighbors and soon
an exciting hunt was in progress about the
