Archie Parks, an old man, living by
the canal feeder in Trenton, N. j., has
saved sixty-two lives in his time. He
saved little girls life recently. When
asked to give an account of his rescues
he said.-"I can't go over them all,
but I'll mention some. saved Steve
Wyncoop, who fell into the prison ba-
sin. had narrow escape that time,
for he was heavy weight. 1 was in
bed another night when a call came for
me that man was making for the
feeder for suicide. 1 jumped out and
got there in time to nab him as he
went down the third time. That man
is about town yet. Another day l
was coming through Montgomery
street when saw boy riding on a
sled he had hitched to a milkman
wagon. The sled rope had got around
his neck and he was choking. The
mlikman would not stop, not seeing
the boy, so 1 grabbed his horse and
saved the lad, 1 had to carry him home;
he is an ex-Seuator's son. At PEN
nington, another day, lady with two
children was getting off morning
train. She was on the point of falling
under when 1 grabbed the woman and
one child and pushed the other on the
platform. At least one would have
been run over"
"And how much have you got,
Archie," was asked, ''for your servi-
ces?"
"Once got an old soldiers oYercoat
for stopping two burglars from steal
ing valuable team back of Hanover
street. 1 got the suit of clothes 1 told
you about, and 1 got twenty-five cents
for saving rich mans son. That's
all ever saw for saving sixty-two
lives. But never mind 1 haven't told
you all. One winter night while was
constable out near Star Rubber, l
heard cry of murder. ran out and
saw two fellows on the go. Close by,
in the water, a man was struggling.
1t was mighty cold weather, but l
jumped IN and saved him. Another
time Jack Donnelly would have smoth-
cred while fixing boiler at the Rubber
Works, if hadn't hauled him out. One
New Years Eve was in bed in the
swamp when 1 heard "Murderl" /
got out quick and found a man head
down in big bank of snow unable to
get up; he had been robbed and as
saulted. 1 got him out and caught
the robbers, who went to prison. l
saved Ewing township farmer twice
from robbery, and may be murder, in
the swamp. About two years ago /
was at the Clinton Street Depot when
some one called that a boy was in the
creek; l slipped off nay shoes and jumped
in and with John Bradley's help got
out the boy. But spike had run
clear through my foot and was laid
up six weeks, narrowly escaping lock
jaw. A few months ago had m
wrist sprained saving boy in the feed

Archie belongs to a family of res
cuers of human life. His father dice
from injuries in saving the life of g
lady who was riding behind wild
! runaway horse. His son Elwoot
claims to have saved seventeen lives
about Trenton; some from drowning
and others on the railroad, in runa
ways, etc. His seventeen year-olt
