small Tennessee town who had been
stealing a great deal. He would 90
all over the town taking anything
he could get in the form of cloth

very i'll. He grew worse, and it
seemed that he was going to die.
AS death approached he began to
repent of his robberies. He called
his son to him and told him to re-
turn all the clothing he had stolen.
After this he became easier and
went to sleep. In several hours he
awoke.

SAN MATEo. Dec. 29.-In line with
his policy of having everything spick
and span around the San Mateo bank,
which has been purchased the last week
by the Bank of Italy of San Francisco,
Vice President A. P. Giannini yesterday
announced to all employees of the bank
that he would give them a brand new
suit of clothes for a New Year present
Cashier Henry Hagen is to have three
suits, one for morning wear, one for
luncheon and the other for the after
noon.
Giannini said he wanted each man to
come TO work each morning freshly
shaved.
The presentation OF new suits fol-
lowed the objection made by some of
the employees that they could not afford
new habiliment on their present salary.
To start the new year off with the men
looking as clean and neat as the fix
lures of the bank, the vice president
told the employees of his decision. A
number of the men also will get an in
crease in salary.
The San Mateo bank in the future
will be known as the San Mateo branch
