THE youngest heroine of the times is Elsie
Cooley, the fve-year-old daughter of Peter
Cooley, fisherman, at Astoria. L. l. Playing on
the river bank with some neighbor children, one
of them, Willie Monk, aged four, fell off the
wharf. While the other children cried, she ran
out on the pier and caught hold of piece of
floating plank. 'Take hold of the board, Willie, /"
she called But Willie neither saw the board
nor heard the cry. He had sunk under the
water and his little fur cap lay tossing upon the
surface. Elsie was in despair and began to sob,
when suddenly between her tears she saw
Willie's form rise directly beside her. He was
so near that, by bending over. she could easily
touch him. The boy had ceased to struggle and
lay apparently lifeless Elsie clutched him by
the hair and dragged him to her. She chung to
her burden with a tenacious grip and tried to
raise him to the pier. She nearly succeeded in
doing so, but the boys weight was too much for
her exhausted strength, which only permitted
her to keep his head safely above water. By
that time the other children went to her as
sistance and the boys rescue was the work of
few moments. The plucky little maiden goes to
kindergarten school, and was last month,

hearted than the rest, offered her small part in
piece then on the stage. This she re-
fused, and demanded that a play, no mat
ter how small, be written for her. Amused
and somewhat impressed by her audacity,
the manager introduced her to wel-known
writer for the stage, who wrote her play, she
paying for the same. So doubtful was the
author of her success, however, that he declined
to have his name published in connection with
the piece She had but two weeks in which to
study and prepare herself, and was asked by the
manager to postpone her appearance until the

way, but she persevered and finally made her
debut before tremendous audience, and
achieved a triumphant success She was called
before the curtain time after time, and at last
the reaction was so great that she was carried
weeks ago, and the play ran along with the
greatest results until the health of the young
actress gave way, the result of hard study,

shrewd young woman as useful preliminary

A reporter of the Sun, calling at the
office of Rev. j. j. Bruce, the courte-
GUS and efficient tax collector of Will
hanson county, noticed his improved
and asked after his health.
"Well," said Mr.. Bruce. s'during the
year 1877 a small scab appeared on my
nose, and though it gradually grew
larger, it did not become sore or trOub-
lie me very much until the summer of
1873, when the inside of the sore as
sumed somewhat the appearances OF a
seed wart, and began to itch and dis
charge, which made me quite uneasy.
L used various salves, plasIerS, and 9TH
or remedies, none of which did any
permanent good, the sore gradually
spreading, and my anxiety of course
increasing with the growth OF the can
cerOus ulcer. In October last my at
tentiOn was called to Swift's Specific,
IS. S. s. and l began using it. The eff
fect at first was 10 cause the sore TO as
sumo an angry look, and in a short
while to discharge quantities of matter,
which relieved me of the poison, and
the progress towards recovery has
been steady and sure, until to-day, +
have only the scar and small sore left
to remind me of the painful ulcer, and
and it has ceased to trouble me at all,
so far as pain and Itching are concerned.
The Swift Specific has greatly i'm
proved my general health. | do mest
cordially commend to all who are suf-
fering as [ was"
There is probably no more reliable

Mrs. John w. Cover came very
near being the victim of serious acct
dent recently. While crossing a bridge
on horse back with two of her little
children with her, the horse fell through
and threw them of, but fortunately not
seriously hurting any of them, These
bridges need repairing badly and imme-
diately. They are on the pike or that
part that was thrown out by the COM
pany. We think this should be investi-
gated and if our county court has the
authority to take charge of it and dis
pose of it, it should do so at once.
