CURED in Belgium. Two workmen
were employed at Ville-sur-O urthe in
fastening Il lightning conductor at the
top of a steepae 20 feet from the

the shoulders Of the other, and sud-
den gust Of wind caused him to spill

It fell upon the hand and arm of the
other, and he had the nerve to stand
still while the hot metal burned into
the flesh, as the slightest movement
'might have thrown the man on his
shoulders to the ground. The hero
who saved this life deserves to be re-
corded, and we print his name below,
that If there be any emigrant in Amer
lea who recognizes it he may be proud
of his countryman. TO face danger
deliberately for the safety Of others is
high courage. But to do this while
suffering from intense pain, when
physical nature instinctively flinches,
shows a degreee of fortitude as we'll as
courage which well deserves to be
called heroic. The name of this man
of nerve and courage is NJ. A. Karis.
