they did the most good. Mr.. Tha "

save the feelings OF these Mr.. Thaw
had an original plan. In his home. the
old Thaw mansion. In Pirtsburg. there
was side door leading into Mr.,
Thaw's study Every morning from
nine to ten Mr. iThaw personally
opened this door. through which came
persons desirous OF his aid. The pur-
pose OF this was that the servants In
the household would not know who
applied to him for help. This same
rnle was in force in his private Office
No one knew who came there except
the persons themselves On one occa-
sion William, an old darky WHO drove
an ash cart, lost his mule by death.
Ills heart was sore, for the mule was
his only means of earning his living.
He tearfully told the story to lady
who was a member of the church Mr..
Thaw attended Go tell Mr.. Thaw
about It," said this lady.
The dariSy was afraid he would not
believe him, so the lady gave him a
line vouching for his truthfulness.
The next morning william went to
the Thaw house and was admitted
through the private door. The great
'financier received him kindly, and VIII
liam tremblingly told his story.
We'll, what do You want me to do?"
asked Mr.. Thaw. ,,
William told him he would like $50
TO buy a new mule. ms Ss. s..g.A s'
Well, ! won't give you. $50" said
Mr.. Thaw. and William lost heart.
Mr.. Thaw, however, continued: I'll
not give yon $50 for mule, because
you can't get one that Is worth any
thing for that amount, but III give yon
500, II that Is any use to you"
William was almost overcome, hi.
JOY was SO great, and among the
thousands OF mourners at the funeral
OF the great hearted man none was
more sincere than Wllliam.-M. A. r..
