ADVERTISING For A REwARD.-"It Is
always amusing to me-" said the
thoughtful man, when 1 read Of re-
ward being offered for the return OF
lost money. 1t always seems to me
that IL the money falls into the hands
of an honest man he would be only
too glad to see that the loser got 1t,
but If, on the contrary, it should fall
into the hands Of dishonest man, why
money spent on the advertising OF a
reward would be merely thrown away
unless the reward equalled the amount
lost.
"A number Of years ago an old man
living in the same town that l DID,
and who had the reputation Of being
very close lost roll Of bills amounting
to several hundred dollars. 1t was a
mystery to every one how he let go of
it long enough to lose it, but he did,
and he spent several days rushing
around town looking for it; but with
out success.
Finally some one suggested the ad-
visibility of offering a reward for the
return Of the lost money. He objected
to this as costing him too much; but
at last he opened his heart and offered
the sum of 81 to the finder. A few days
later he received by mail dolla- note
together with letter to the effect that
he could have the reward and the find
er would keep the rest for his trouble.

SHE HAD THE ADvANTAGE.-"I've
had a good many rebuffs in my line Of
business, but I struck the limit the 9TH
er day down on Tasker street." said a
collector. II had been after a man for
several months to collect a bill Of $6,
but had always been put off with ex-
cuses and promises. This day his wife
came to the door, and stated my bus
mess to her, although I guess she
knew all about it."
my husband is asleep she said.
He works nights, and never gets up
until noon. He won't be up for two
hours
"'Very well,' 1 said, I'll be back in
two hours
1T won't be worth your WHILE she
said: I'm sure he hasn't got Sc, and,
even if he had, I shall see him before
you will. If he has any money in his
clothes you can just bet your life
that I'm going to get 1t myself.

SENATOR DEPEw's BRoTHER.-Sena-
tor Depew has a brother, Lawrence,
living in Detroit, Mich. He Is a quiet,
unassuming gentleman, with no taste
for oratory or politics, and strict de-
votee Of business. His business pro-
.pensities are so highly developed that
he has no sense Of humor, during work
ing hours at least. One day friend
stepped into his office and remarked:
Lawrence, your brother Chauncey
is a thief"
You will have to prove that" ex-
claimed Mr.. Depew, jumping to his feet
in wrath.
II can prove it simply enough" re-
piled the friend, 80 don't excited. A
few words will suffice"
Prove it, then," exclaimed Chaun-
cey's brother, land be quick about it. u
WELL" remarked the friend, "Chaun-
cey stole all the brains Of the Depew
family" and with this parting shot he
made a hurried exit.
II don't know but he is right" re-
marked Lawrence, as he settled back
to business, "but it Is good thing fol-
him that he was able to prove his as
sertion.'
Then he wondered why his stenog-
rapher' laughed.-Washingto Post.

has been a very busy and hard work.
ing young man. He Is striving hard to
prove that a silver spoon in a boys
mouth does not necessarily press up
ward so as to affect the brain. He Is
convinced, evidently. that the only way
to have a name worth having Is to
make 1t for yourself.
A great deal has been said and print
ed about this young man, but he Is not
O notoriety seeker. He Is just as mod
est as any other man Of his age In his
own business, and his friends say that
the attention he receives in certain
ways annoys him greatly.
Not long ago he gave a supper to
some of those in his militia company.
A great deal was printed Of the fact
that one of his guests was a man who
drives a cab. At this supper he said to
one Of his friends: II am having a
splendid time tonight, but what wor-
ries me is the fact that the papers are
going to have a write up of it. I wish
they wouldn't. I wish they would let
me be-" The papers had their write
up" all right, but they did not get any
of their information from the host.
Mr.. Vanderbilt Is modest and does
not like to talk about himself. He has
no press agent and does not understand
why the fact that he gets down to his
desk at the New York Central office In
time each morning and attends to his
business during the day should inter-
est the public any more than the same
fact concerning any other employe of
the road.
Besides being an inventor, Mr.. Van
derbilt Is also something Of writer on
mechanical subjects, and has read sew
eral papers before scientific bodies. He
has addressed the American Society Of
Mechanical Engineers and lectured at
the Sheffield Scientific school at Yale.
The addresses have attracted grea.
deal Of attention.
Money has not been able to keep
him from amounting to something
was what was recently said Of him, by
a well-known railroad man, who add
ed: 1.-THE odd thing about this is that
every one seems to think this Is very
remarkable"
It is not probable that Mr.. Wander
bilt when working in the shops and
poring over plans for boilers, wastes
any time In contemplating the fact that
he is setting an example for other
young men of great wealth, but at the
same time the public attention he has
attracted has been largely on account
of the fact that he presents such a
strong contrast to most young men sit
uated as he is situated.-New York

ONE WAY TO OBTAIN RELEAsE.-Sen-
ator Dolliver, Of Iowa, tells a good
campaign story on himself. He was
making speeches in his congressional
district when a member Of the house
and arrived one afternoon at a little
town. When he reached the hotel he
discovered that the proprietor, an old
friend of his, had voluntarily gone to
Jail rather than pay what he believed
to be an unjust and illegal tax. The
hotel keeper soon learned that Mr.
Dolliver was in town and thereupon
sent this note to the sheriff:
Dear Mr.. Sheriff: Please let me out
of Jail for two hours to hear my friend
Dolliver make a speech"
THE sheriff. says Mr.. Dolliver
was not only an obliging soul, but he
was not devoid of humor. He sent an
order to the hotel keeper releasing him
from Jail for two hours to hear me
speak, and then he added: The re-
mainder of your punishment is remit
ted '"-WaShington Post.

A MILLIONAIRE ENGINE DRIVER
Young Cornelius Vanderbilt Sue
cessful Railroad Man and In
YRntOr.

Young Cornelius Vanderbilt a Sue
cessful Railroad Man and In
ventOr.
Among young railroad men there is
no one more talked about than Corne-
Illus Vanderbilt. He has been success
full in his chosen profession, that Of
railroad engineer, and there are some
people who consider this remarkable,
simply because he does not have to be
railroad engineer unless he wishes to.
His father did not leave him as much
money as he did his brother, and in the
settlement of the estate he received
only S7,000,000. With this trifling sum
as a start, however, he has done very
we'll.
1t has been only seven years since he
graduated from Yale, but in these sew
en- years he has managed to do num-
ber Of things. He has worked in the
railway shops and learned all about
the making of an engine. He has pat
ented a number of inventions of great
Importance in the railway business.
He has become a national guardsman
and dabbled in politics little. He has
become a public official, being now a
member of the municipal civil service
board. Efforts have been made to in
duce him to run for office-but he Is q
very level-headed young man.
His best known invention Is patent
fire-box for the economical working Of
locomotives, which has been success
fully tried on nine Of the principal
railroads and which bids fair to come
into general use. He also invented a
tank car that has many points of su-
periority over the old style car. The
demand for tank cars Is greater than
ever before known and this promises to
be very valuable patent.
Ever since he came out of college he

himself, they would not be afraid Of
him. Every article of clothing is
