have just heard an account of great
gallantry shown by two ryots when a
woman and child were attacked lately
by panther near Belgium. 1t seems
to me that such extraordinary heroism
ought to be made public. A woman was
working in field, when panther at
tackled and killed her child. The mother
tried 20 drive the beast of by throwing
stones and clods at it; she was at once
attacked herself, and so torn that she
died before reaching the hospital While
the pan Their was mauling the woman a
man no was working in an ad iacent
field rushed to her rescue, and although
he had only small sickle in his hand
threw himself on the savage brute and
tried to save the woman. This appar-
emily hopeless struggle could have had
but one ending had it not been for the
devoted gallantry of another ryot, who
came running up when he saw the fight,
and armed only with his sickle, used
with such effect that he actually killed
the panther as it lay on the man. -

this move, but they say that they have re

There are persons in this world-and
the pity is there are not more of them
who care less for praise than for sp-
probation. They have an ideal after
which they are striving, but which
they consciously fall short of-ss every
one who has lofty ideal is sure to do.
When that ideal is recognized by
another. ana they are praised or com
mended for something in its direction,
they are grsteful-not for the praise,
but for appreciation. An element of
sympathy enters into that recognition,
and they feel that they have some
thing in common with the observer who
admires what they admire and praises
what they think is most worthy of
praise.-N. Y. Ledger.
