school teacher boarded at his house,
and she had beau, who came once a

and lighting the parlor.
Nothing was said about this item Of
expense at the end Of the term, when
the teacher paid her board bill, but
the next day, happening to meet the
young man on the street, the old man
aooosted him and, after few prelim
inaries about the weather, remarked:

Broke Bank and Spent 1t.

New York, March S.-On board the
big liner Kaiser Wilhemn II, which
arrived today FROM Bremen and Che
bourg, was a young American, who
apparently believed, and with good
reason, too, that he was the real man
''who brok: the bank at Monte Car.
To-
He got rid of about 81 600 or $3 900
(variously cstimatcd) among the ships
attc cndants on the way over and would
have tcen still more generous had it
not been that his bene6ciaries grew
literally ASHAMED to take the mon
ey."
The generous handed young man is
the son Of a we'll known civil engineer
and was returning from Paris. The
night before the Kaiser was to touch
at Chcrbourg he entered a Paris gam
bling resort end "hroke the bank" his
winnings, according to the story he
told aboard the chip, being about 5O,-
600 francs.
It is said to have taken a suit case
to carry the money away. After
breaking the bank he bad just time to
catch an early train for Cherbourg and
the Kaiser.
The first thing he did after he got
aboard, it is related, was to open the
suit case in the smoking room and
invite every one to help himself, or.
dering drinks all around at the same
time.
"Everybody's money" he cried;
''can't use it all myself. Want oil to
help celebrate"
| It WAS evident to his fellow passen-
gers that the young man had already
begun to celebrate. He grew indig-
nant when no one volunteered to share
his wealth aud commenced to scatter
his money about the cabin floor.
| II don't want it, gen men," he said,
son il you don't, won't it make a
! good carpet, eh?'
The young man was restrained from
emrtyipg the whole contents Of the
suit case with difficulty, but froqn that
time on he insisted upon giving away
as much as he possibly could. He
gave 100 frenc bills for drinks and
other favors duriog the voyage and
absolutely refused to take any change.
He made large presents to every. per-
son in uniform on the ship he could
find. Stewards at first fell over them.
! selves in their endeavors to serve
him, finally the presents became so
lavish that even they refused to take
any more.
It il related that on Friday last tb g
Youus Croesus entered a chat pooi'
aud won $3.50.

"Got too much money already. Got
to spend it all today and he did

There is g good story told of man
who has become o most SUCCESS
full merchants. A few years ago he
was employed as an office boy and
messenger for large firm. He was
sent to collect an account from a firm
which was considered very ''shaky,:*
and was told to get the money at all
hazards. The debtors gave the lad a.
check for $3.50. He went TO the bank
at once to cash it, and was told by the
cash'-r that there were not enough
funds in to meet it.
"How much short?" asked tho
lad. .~-
"oeven dollars was the answer.
1tlacked but g minute or two Of the
time for the bank to close. The boy
felt in his pockets, took out 81,
and, pushing it through the window
said, Put that TO the credit OF Blank
& Co."
The cashier did 80, vhereupon the
boy presented the check and gos the
money. Blank g. Go. failed the mex,

The Worlds Largest Ferry.

must be that will transport two long
trains, engines, cars and all, with as
much ease as common ferry carries
wagon from bank to bank Of river.
Suoh ferry is the "Solano," which
plies between Beuicia and Fort Costa,
California. The 'Solano' has the
distinction of being the largest ferry
in the world. It was built several
years ago by the Southern Pacific
Railroad Company for the express
purpose of transporting trains across 8
neck of upper San Francisco Bay
that is too wide and deep to be
bridged, without interfering with the
many yesselsIsthat ply up and down
tho bay. 1t was believed by many,
when the big ferry was 6rst launch
cd, that it would not be success.
But the big boat has proved all that
vas expected Of it, and possibly more,
as no serious mishaps have yet oo.
ouTzod, though :hsassads &c srsias
have been borne gently from shore to
shore OF the bay, to continue their
iongf journey aoToss :he continent.
AS the saving Of timo is q prime
requisite in modern .silroading, this
big ferry was built primarily to make
short cut across the bay, and save
the time required to go round by way
OK the road that skirts the upper neck
Of the long channel. This old road is
still used by freight and local trains,
but all OF the Overland passengers,
aud many Of the fast freights, take
the short cut by ferry. .*....' +. i:
The trip ACROSS tho bay on the
"Solsno" is one of the intere sting
features Of the rail road journey along
that tportion Of the Pacific Coast.
The ferry runs into. a slip prepared
for it, on either shore and fits so snug
when the landing is made, that the
tracks on the boat, and those on land.
nee. exactly, END to end. The train
90 the boat runs ashore, and the one
waiting rolls aboard. AS the ferry ia
some 800 feet long, an ordinary pas.
senger train does not mead to un
couple, but the long Oyerlands, which
ccns:s:. :ef. tsirteen or more cars, are
cut in the middle, and arc drawn
aboard in two sections. To accommo,
date the rising and lowering OF the
tide: and to make, the ends of The
tracks on the ferry and on land meet, :
there is a long apron, or approach, at !:
each landing, much like the approach
used on CANNON ferry. This apron .
