A Locomotive Fireman's Courage When a
Life Was In Danger.

Lie WAS IN DhneeT.
Some years ago, )" said u gray haired
veteran in railroading, "wc received q
new locomotive on our road of very pecul-
lar pattern, being equipped with many
new patents, whereby great speed was to
be attained. | was superintendent of the
road then and determined to take it out
myself on a special schedule and ascertain
II the new ideas were practical picked
out Il first class engineer and fireman to
accompany me. The latter was i feet tall
and built in proportion Well, the loco
motive proved to be all the builders claim
cd for her and ran the record up to "a
miles an hour which is quite speed fol
our road, being possessed of many sharp
curves and grades.
when the engine was going her best
and had just rounded sharp curve, no
ticcd directly ahead of me "a little girl hall
way across single track bridge that
spanncd quite "a body of water. There
was no room for us both on the structure,
and in despair | pulled the whistle and
tried although | knew it was a hopeless
task to stop the engine. As the shrill
shrek of the whistle reached the little
girls ears she turned, and seeing the en-.
CINE bearing down upon her ran ahead
few steps, and then, realizing the impoSsi.
blity of reaching the other side before the
engine would be upon her she sprang tC
the side of the structure and with ID scream
jumped into the deep water 20 feet below.
las the little girls form sank beneath
the water another figure whistled through
the air. 1t was that big fireman of mine.
He had seen the child simultaneously with
me and acting instantly had jumped down
between the engine and tender, and as the
girl sprang into the water he leaped attet
her. Owing to the velocity of the train
his body whirlcd around like ball before
he struck the water My fireman had
hardly disappeared under the water than
the girl was seen several yards in front OF
him, but he quickly came to the surface
and struck out after her. The little thing
went down IA second time, but as she rose
my fireman was by her side, and grasping
her firmly managed to reach the shore al
most exhausted. We Immediately deserted
the special and rushed down to the bank
of the river and yelled encouragement to
the brave fellow As he came out, putting
like Il porpoisc, we gave him three cheers

the remark, Christopher Columbus, but

NIodesty.

Modesty seems to be the least popular
of the virtues. Years ago Bulwer Lytton
wrote "a charming little story of the Vir.
tues starting out on IA pilgrimage with the
aim of finding home. Each Virtue had
hard time, but not one of them met with
such serious experiences as poor Modesty.
Modesty travelled the length and breadth
of London, vainly seeking refuge. No one
had ever heard of Modesty. The allegory
applies at present. The tidal wave of real
ism has made rough sailing for modesty.
In literature, in the drama, in life itself
civilized life, metropolitan life-modesty
has no home. Society, the Turkish bath
and the seashore are the three agents most
vigorous in discriminating the divine vir-
tue. Each in turn administers an earth
quake shock to modesty as it dwells with
in the nature of woman. The temple OF
modesty RECEIVERS from one or two earth.
quake shocks, and after that as IA dwelling
it is nonhabitable, and modesty moves
out. | am looking for a reform movement
in this direction. Where is the national
Christian league that works persistently
in the interest of purity, and where is the
Pinkertonian Comstock that the living
pictures of the scashore disturb not his
dreams? Human charms of material or
der are much in vogue these days. Per
haps it's all right; but, alas, poor modesty!

The aroma of red cedar is said to be

walnut leaves is fatal to lleas. 1t is mat
ter of common observation that persons
engaged in the business of making shin
