Mr.. Vanderbilt and Sam barton.

Cornelius Vanderbilt's lifelong friend,
the late Samuel Barton, who was also
his first cousin once removed, lay very
ill at his home in this city little while
before Mr. Vanderbilt was himself
stricken with apoplexy. They had been
playmatcs and schoolmates. Barton Mt
the boarding school Which he and young
Vanderbilt attended had ben the GUS
todian of his cousins pocket money. lie
was a little older than Cornelius Van
derbilt. Afterward Barton was one of
the brokers for the old commodore, and
he was esteemed man of wealth when
Cornelius Vanderbilt was drudging as Il
bank clerk at $50 week.
Mr. Vanderbilt heard that Mr.. Barton
was in some distress of mind as well as
body, and he called upon him. The
meeting was like that OF men who have
been playmntes, and they spoke Of tDcii
sports and OF their experiences at the
boarding school, and at last Mr.. Wander
bilt very delicately inquired if there
was anything that was causing Mr.. Bar
ton anxiety, and bis old playmate replied
that he was fearful that his estate would
not leave his family comfortably provid
cd for. Thereupon Mr.. Vanderbilt said,
speaking the familiar name of childhood
days, sam, don't let that worry you"
That was all he said, but the next day
he deposited in Mr.. Barton's name a
large sum of money, not far from $780,
600. When Mr.. Barton heard that, it
seemed to give linn peace, and he called
his family to him, said that he was con-
tent to die, bade them goodby and then,
saying II am very tired" turned his face
to the wall and in a moment was gone

Mr.. Cornelius vaderbilt's large heart

cident which lady of this city told the
writer a few days ago She said that
some years ago, few days before Christ
mas, she went into a toy store to make
a few purchases. While she was engag-
ed In making her selections the clerk who
was waiting upon her said:
Pardon me, madam, but you would do
me a great favor II you would allow an
other of our clerks to wait upon you.
Mr.. Cornelius Vanderbilt has just come

'Of course" the lady went on, II ex-
cused her, and, never having seen Mr..
Vanderbilt, l was curious to see what he
looked like, and watched him while he
made his purchases. He went here and
there about the store. evidently giving as

toys, and BESIDES, she added. he gave
me Christmas present which is by far
the finest one got this year
"As showing how Mr.. vanderbilt's
business training was evinced even in
buying toys, the clerk stated that he
brought with him to the store list of
the boys and girls who were to receive

sight Restored by x-Rays.

Chicago, Oct. Harriet Heilbuth,
years old, and for two years blind and
q paralytic, has had her sight and the
use of her limbs restored through the
agency of the x-rays. Two years ago
the child while playing fell from a
porch to the sidewalk, distance of
16 feet striking on her head. The fall
left her totally blind and with her
right side paralyzed. A few weeks ago
the x-rays revealed tumor the size
of an egg pressing on the brain. The
skull was trephined and the tumor re-
moved. The child was able to move
her limbs on recovering consciousness,
and is now gradually recovering her
sight.

Curious Incident In the Career Of
Novelist Crockett.

A Curious Incident In the Career Of
Novelist Crockett.
Mr.. ). X. Crockett. the novelist, tells
rather remarkable story of an incident
that befell him in his early writing days.
before fame and fortune had come to
him and while he struggled on for liv-
ing AT that time he was Obliged 10
write for very small sums indeed, and
among the publications to whitA he con
trbuted columns and half columns was
The st. James Gazette, London penny
evening newspaper. One morning the
postman brought to Mr.. Crockett u let
ter from the editor of The st. James Ga
zette containing small check as pay
ment for n contribution. Mr.. Crockett
knew that nothing was due to him, that
he had been paid for all his articles, and
remarkable mamie did the check up
in an explanatory note and returned it to
the editor.
The next day back came the check
from the remarkable man-with
note saying it was due. The St. James
Gazette hfa published an article from
the pen of Mr.. Crockett which had not
been paid for, hence the check. Again
Mr.. Crockett--remarkabl man--returned
the check, and still the remarkable edi-
tor reforwarded it, this time with the ar
ticle cut out Of the columns Of the st.
James Gazette.
Now comes the curious feature of the
incident. When Mr.. Crockett clapped
eyes OH the article he was astonished to
find it one of his dreams matcrialzed.
