a HEkO'S BRATE ACT~ ~
Say not that heroes are now no more. 81
That the world IS worse than 1t was nf y0re:
Look not to TIE days Of old;
There ara heroas now as brave as they :
Who fought with Arthur IN his day; 4
There are men as true and bold.
A crowd was waiting train one day.
Among them a child with a ball at play,
Which she threw upon the track.
At once she sprang the ball to gain,
When into the depot came the train; 4
In vain they called her back.
There she stood in her danger great.
In terror at her impending fate;
Onwar'l rushed the train.
Rapidly the train drew near;
The people breaslcss stood in fear,
They called to her in vain.
Some IN horror turned away:
Some IN anguish tried to pray;
Paralyzed she stood:
The mother frantic saw her child, :.
And In despair in accents Wild
She cal'eI as best she could.
Amoment more! all held their breath
The train would crush that child to death,
Was there no angel near.
Was there no answer to that prayer,
That by that crowd was uttered there?
Did there no help appear7
A form was seen from the crowd to bound:
With one strong leap he was on the ground
In front of the moving train.
While with one hand the girl he caught
He with the other the pilot sought
Nor made leap III vain.
He sat upon that engine till
The train upon the track stood still,
Then CAME to the ground again.
Amidst the Joy of the passengers there
He placed that girl in her mothers care,
Then modestly sought the train
You may tell Of the deeds Of heroes of old:
Ofdeeds OF the brave and deeds Of the bold
OF the deeds of war and STRIFE:
There is none more worthy and none more
Than the act OF Pennington rushing to save,
At the risk Of his own, that life.

MlS1LRTOE FOR KISSING PURPOSES
No English lady considers her home
decorations for Christmas complete,
until little sprig of mistletoe, no mat
ter how small, is hung over one of the
doors on the inside of the house. Upon
this day, IF a gentleman discovers a
lady standing under the mistletoe, he
has right to kiss her,''
If this ancient and honored custom
becomes as popular in America as it
has been for centuries in Europe, it
will be largely due to the Emporia
(Fla.) Gazette, which, by the way, is
published in Volusia county, Florida,
which is famous for its summery win
ters and orange groves; for this journal
has prepared packages of mistletoe "a
parasite and native of Florda) Which
it will send to any address upon receipt
of five 2-cent stamps to cover postage,
etc.

The Ladies Library Association
wish to tender vote of thanks to
Jno. w. Lamon for his kindness in al
lowing them the use of his bank
building on the Fourth to use as a
lemonade and ice cream parlor. The
gross receipts of the day amounted to
$17.90. This will aid considerable in
buying new books.
1t is almost impossible to keep up
with the times In these agohized days.
The newest wrinkle in aesthetic circles
is for young lady to artistically de-
corate a miniature trunk, ostensibly
for collars and cuffs, with scenes from
noted summer resorts and forward it
by messenger boy to her hest young
man. If the trunk ever gets there it
will signify: "Isn't in an appropri-
ate season for wedding tTip?" If
the bait is successful the young mans
tailor gets an order for some new and
very nice clothes.
