A Small Heroine.

Children four years old are not, rs
a rule, competent to be left alone with
"the baby" Is there one in thous-
and ofsuch wee nurses that could
have done as well as the little Dakota
girl did? It is a story of Western
floods, told in the Cincinnati Com
mercial;
She was a little girl only four years
old, and was left alone with a baby
a year old, while the mother went out
for a days work. While the good old
auntie was busy over soapsuds, she
heard some boys Shouting
"The Dakota is out of its banks!'
She started bareheaded toward her
dwelling, and saw the water whirling
around it FIVE or six feet deep. The
poor old woman was frantic, and
member of the life-saYin5 crew took her
in and fcrried her to the door.
There was not a sound; the poo- lit
tie ones mist have drowned. The
mothers cries brought a curley head
to the window.
"Here we is, nanny; 1 fetched sis
sy up in the loft, cause there is water
down there"
Then the baby was lifted up by the
small arms to see mammy, and in a
few minutes both the little folks were
enjoying their first ride in boat.
