BURGLAR HAD TO MAKE CHANGE.
Bankers Business Instincts Asserted
Themselves in Emergency.

A group of his friends were discus
sing William Winslow Sherman. the
old banker who died not long ago. "He
had the coolest nerve of any man l
know" said one. Three or four
years ago when Sherman was an old
man and partially crippled by reason
of fall from horse, he entered his
bedroom late at night to find masked
burglar ransacking it. The thief had
big gun trained on Sherman in a
minuete. The banker just waived it
aside with a tired hand. Put that
away, he said, irritably. Let us dis
cuss this matter like gentlemen The
burglar was so surprised he laughed.
Now, you could hurt me if you wanted
to, and might get away with some
| little knicks-knacks, said Sherman
But you might be caught, and there's
a slight probability that you could dis
pose of my toilet articles profitably
| What would you consider fair cash
proposition to go away?' They talked
it over in all peace. The burglar
thought he ought to have $40, but
Sherman. after inquiring into the
mans habits said SIS was enough.
You See he said, you're known
thief. If this We're Your first offense
I'd pay your price, but now the police
have your picture you ought to be glad
to accept any fair compromise and
run no risk. The burglar finally
agreed to take SIS. Sherman pulled
out a $40 bill. Give me 50 change,
said he. And he got it, before he
paid. From a New York Letter.

The Hilo Tribune says:


William Downer. a well known en-
ploye of the Serrao Liquor Company
who had charge of the Union Saloon
which is owned by that firm, ended his
life on Wednesday morning by taking
a large dose Of corrosive sublimate. He
stayed ON duty that morning until he
was relieved and then took the deadly
dose which finished all his earthly
troubles.
He opened up the premises as usual
at six o'clock and a Japanese boy nam
ed j. Kanashigi who is employed there
entered with him to wash out the p ace
and clean glasses. At o'clock it was
the duty of Frank da Souza to relieve
Downer. He entered the place and
asked where Downer was. He was told
by the japanese that Downer was in
the office. Da Souza fond him sitting
in a chair looking very i'll and asked
him what was the matter.
Nothing, Frank" he said, I'm all
right. Give me a little brandy"
Da Souza gave him pony of brandy
and while Downer was drinking it
noticed that his lips and tongue had
turned white.
! What have you been doing, Brly?'
said Souza thoroughly alarmed, What
have you been drlnking?"
It's all right, Frank" replied the
dying man, stay by me-"
Joseph G. Serrao was sent for at once
and was met by the japanese boy very
close to the saloon. He hurried in and
also asked what was the matter but
