MILLIONAIRE IN OVERALLS.
CORNEMITS VANDERBILT AS HE
WORKS IN HIS MACHINE SHOP.
Few wage earners work any harder
than does young millionaire Cornelius
Vanderbilt, Jr. Unlike some other
young men who have come into the
inheritance of vast wealth. Cornelius
Vanderbilt, Jr., is a man of strong
principles and a firm believer In the
nobility of labor.
After his graduation from Yale uni
versity the young man decided to
equip himself with a thorough practi
cal knowledge of every branch of rail
road work. Donning a pair of overalls
and lumper, he worked side by side
with ordinary mechanics,spending two
vear3' time In the motive power and
civil engineering department of the
New York Central Railway.
He is an expert mechanic, and has
already perfected several inventions
which have come into use as improve
ments in railway equippage. One of
these inventions is a device for use on
locomotives which has the effect of
facilitating the removal of the fire box
from an engine, thus expediting the
work of cleaning the fire box.
In this picture Mr, Vanderbilt has on

DIFFERENT IN TEXAS.
Down here in Texas our attorney
general would not think of filing
charges against the governor, or the
legislature, or the Texas railroad com
mission for accepting favors from the
railroads. Several times our legisla
ture has been given a whole train
heavily loaded with “meat and drink”
to Galveston and other points, free of
cost. Our Governor Sayers went all
over the state and once to Washing
ton at the expense of the railroads.
Our railroad commission never thinks
of paying fare for self or families.
About two years ago they were sent
through Colorado in special car free,
including board and lodging for the
entire tr’p to the commissioners and
their families and clerks. All our
legislative officers are riding on free
passes, but OUR attorney general is
not kicking the least bit. He is not
like the Arkansas attorney general.
He is a very different sort of man.
