"Mr. Galloway, who lives with hia
daughter, Mrs. John T. Barber, went
down the street Tuesday on an errsnd.
Crossing Stont street, a car came
upon him. Two of the passengers
have declared that the mortorman
did not ring the bell or slacken speed,
though 1t seemed from 9 distance that
1t would run over the old gentleman.
The car struck him and knocked him
down. His shoulder was disIocated
and he was carried to his home block

AN HONEST NAN.
A Story of the Late A. B. Daniel Illus.
trates the Superb Honesty
of Our Old Recorder.

In about 1868 while engaged in the
construction OF the old North Mis-
souri, railroad at q point near Car
rollton, Mo-, Mr.. A. B. Daniel had the
choice between riches and an act
Of honesty and justice to others. he
was living in a tent with Just such
characters as In that day engaged in
the construction Of railroads; and
acts OF dishonesty were not infrequent
with them. Mr.. Daniel was in the
habit each day, after his work was
done, of taking bis lantern and walk
ing several miles to Wakenda, a small
station ON the new road, for q daily
newspaper.
One night, when alone on bis return
over the new road, by the light of
his lantern he discovered by the side
of the track an express package which
bore the address Of one of the Oar
rollton banks. He secreted the pack
age in his clothing and kept the story
of his find all to himself till next day,
when, guided by tho address, he went
to Oarrollton and handed 1t over to
the bank. On examination II was
found to contain ten thousand dollars
in bills which the bank had expected
by express the day before. 1t was
afterward learned that the express
messenger had laid It out ready fol
delivery when the train should reach
oarrollton, but in tome way the pack
age dropped from the car. The bank,
by Mr.. Daniels honesty, was enabled
to notify the company of the receipt
of the money, and the messenger un-
able to explain the loss and, who wal
already under suspicion of having
stolen it, was retained by the com.
pany with only a reprimand for care.
lessness.
Had Mr.. Daniel not been an honesi
man an innocent messenger would
have been punished, at least by dis.
missal, and the company would have
been compelled to pay the amount o.
the loss to the bank.
