day, a few years ago, an eight-year-old boyl
fell into the East river at the foot of East
Eighth street, New York, and when all eff
forts to rescue him had failed, Edward Don

the water and, when himself nearly ex-
hausted, saved the boy from drowning. 1t

received deserved commentator in all the
newspapers.

near dying. Auburn people have known
