A Broadway Truck Driver's Promise to His Dying Daughter

“"Yes, mister," said the driver, in reply to the reporter's question, "I painted those words up there myself. I wanted to have them where I could see them all the time, to remind me of my promise to my little girl when she was dying. ' Father,' she said, ' I'm going to die, and I want you to promise me one thing, because it will make me so happy.' 'Yes,' said I, with tears running down my cheeks, 'I'll promise.' Then she looked me in the eyes so sweet, and said, '0 father, don't be angry, but promise me you'll never swear any more, nor whip your horses.' That's all there is about it, mister; and I've just put those words up here to remind me of my little girl when I'm tempted." — Millennial Star 75:43”
