WILKEsBARRE, Pa, Nov. Is
George Tollen, 10 years Of age, living
in Wyoming village near here, proved
that he is made of the stuff that heroes
are made of. While his parents were
away from home last evening his three
sisters, Z, and years old respect
lively, were playing about the sitting
room when one of them upset lamp
on the baby brothers. crib. BY almost
a miracle the baby in its flight as the
flames burst forth around it, rolled
from the crib to the floor. George, un-
mindful of pain and knowing only that
the lives of brother and three sisters
were in danger, snatched them up in
his arms, one at time, and rushed
down the stairs and out in the garden
with them. His own clothes caught
fire, but he retained enough presence
of mind to roll in the grass and put the
flames out. He is terribly burned
about the hands and face and body and
may die.

cell few minutes before 8, and with
his assistants fastened a belt around
the condemned mans waist. Straps
from this securely pinioned his arms at

The procession to the gallows was then
formed, headed by the chief warden
followed by the chaplain reading the
burial service. Neill came next with q
warden on either side. He walked
firmly, although a deadly pallor over

showed no other signs of emotion. The
hangman brought up the rear. Arrived
at the scaffold the white cap was pulled

father preach. He didn't care particu-

mons afforded opportunities for other
services that he very much enjoyed
until last Sunday, when the reverend
father Of his adored one hit him hard
by announcing as his text "My daugh-

whether the old gentleman put up a
job on him or whether the text was
chosen in response to a pointer from
the yeung lady.
