The Best Kind of Hero.

New York Press: There are heroes
and heroes, but the Press does not
know any better kind of hero than the
railroad engineer who stands sturdily
by his engine i'm the crash of disaster
in order to save the lives of the pas
sengers on his train. Engineer Char
ley Todd of the Chicago, Milwaukee 4
St. Paul railroad, was this kind of
hero and his fidelity saved score. OF
other people from death, though it
cost him his own life. His fireman
Jumped when instructions were sighted
on the track ahead, but Todd re-
mained at his post. With death look
ing him in the face, he reversed the
engine, applied the air brakes, and
opened the sand valves.
This kept the train on the rails, but
the engine was thrown into the river.
When they pulled the mangled and dy-
ing engineer out of the wreck his first
words were inquiries if the passengers
were safe. He expired almost immed-
lately, but his heroic sacrifice OF self
should not pass without recognition.
The quality of his manhood honors
the race. The heroism he displayed
unshrinkingly was greater and worth
ier than that OF many soldier who
has died for his colors on the battle
ground and whose deeds have been en-
shrined in song and story. For this
man died not to destroy life but
to save it. He went to his death with
out the cheers or the moral support
of comradeship. He had about him
none of that contagious courage that
has made timid men heroic in fight a
thousand times.
Doubtless Engineer Todd was a
most unpicturesque figure as he rode
to his doom. The garb and habit oi
his daily life were naturally unpoetic,
Probably the jumper and overalls that
ne wore were greasy; it is likely that
he smoked strong tobacco in a stubby
clay pipe; it is not improble that
like good many American citizens, he
was very sharp tempered when thingr
went wrong.
His entrance into our so called "best
society" would have been impossible
Ward McAllister wouldn't have ad
| nluCeu Nun, ruSSeu DIS he WAS aIlOLt
the sleek servants of the Four Hundred
even. But He, the foundation o
whose teaching was love; He who
said, Greater love hath no man thar
this, that he lay down his life for hi:
friend" was glad, if we mistake not
to welcome this homely marty
straight into the ranks of society
that is considerably better than Mr.
McAllister's; the ranks of the redeemed
in land where rest abides.

Mattocks and the Bear.

Bozeman Chronicle: One evening
last week, old man Mattocks, who lives
on the Bridger road, observed three
bears in the field near by, and shoul-
dering his trusty rifle, went after bear
meat. He succeeded in wounding one
of the bears at long range and left the
field on account OF darkness. Next
morning. bright and early, he started
on the trail and was not long in find
ing the bear in the bush. Supposine
he was dead, the old man approached,
wnen the bear arose and grabbed him.
Then ensued hand-to-hand fight, in
which the old man, who was Justify
yelling. was rapidly getting the worst
OF it. Hearing his cries his boys ran
to the scene, when one OF them grabbed
the bear by the ears and held him
while he was being dispatched, it TAX
ing fifteen shots to kill him. Mr.. Mat
tocks was quite badly disfigured by
the encounter, one arm being badly
chewed; but he is still ready and
anxious if need be, to tackle a whole
herd of bears.
