LlFE-SAVER AT THREE.
The story of the Young Hero ms Told
by His Father

Little Bennie Moran, of Detroit, Mich.
is hero at three years of age Like
many another young hero who has
risked life or limb to rescue the help
less, Bennie takes the honors neaped
upon him in modest way, and does
not admit that when he carried his liz
tie sister from his fathers burning
house he did any more than any other
boy would do.
The father of the young hero, w.
A. Moran, tells the story of the rescue
as follows in the New York Journal
1T was late in the afternoon and
the children's mother stepped out TO
go to the store, leaving them alone in
the kitchen playing. She had not been
gone long when little Bennie opened
the door leading to the back yard. He
said afterward that he had tired of
playing ON the floor and was going
out in the yard to play. \ sudden
draught of wind from the, open door
caught the curtains directly over the
gasoline stove, and in an instant they
were famed into flames. Bennie gave
a backward glance to see whether his
little sister was coming, and he saw
what had happened. The window drap-
ings had ignited and the whole wall
soon sprang into blaze.
''As soon as he saw the flames all
over the wall he made for the side door,
which was at chat time locked. He
found the key and was soon out in the
yard, in the clear air, safe from the
flames. 1t was then that he began tn
think. He remembered that his little
sister was alone in the house, and he
knew that unless he brought her out
she would never come out alive. He
did not stop to think of what might
happen to himself if he again entered
the house, burt he turned back into the
blazing building and started to grope
his way through the binding smoke to
the center of the room.
He found her sitting on the floor,
softly crying to herself, while the
smoke surged about her and the cruel
flames crept closer Without any hesi-
tation he picked her up in his little
arms, and, half carrying, half drag
ging, he managed to reach the open
door and placed her on the sidewalk
CnHuIIleu,
"Then the little hero started toward q
neighbours house, crying at the top OF
his voice: Fire! Fire! PaPa's house
burning up! 1t was not long then
until the fire company was on hand
and the flames were soon eNtinguished.
Had it not been for my little boys pres,
ence of mind and knowledge of just
what to do first, my house would now
be IN ashes and my little girl dead.
This is Bennie's second experience
with fire. A little over year ago my
entire family came near perishing in
burning building, and only escaped
by my wife carrying them over burn
ing floor and down a stairway of flame.
Although their lives were saved they
were badly burned"

FOR YOUNG PEOPLE.
"FRlTZ."


Has anybody seen my "Fritz?"
You may not think him pretty,
But he's the dog that love best
In country or in city.
His hairs a sort of grizzly gray,
And not so very curly;
But he can run like everything,
And bark both late and early.
Sometimes he minds me very we'll;
And sometimes when call
He only sits and wags his tail
And does not stir at all.
But the reason why he acts that way
Is very plain to see;
Fritz doesn't know that he's my dog
He thinks that he owns me.
So, though he has a heap of sense
'Twould be just like him, now.
To think that I'm the one that's lost
And with a great bow-wow
To so off hunting for his boy
Through alley, lane and street,
While am asking for my dog
OF everyone l meet.

quarters on ridge overlooking a deep,
wooded ravine that l was disabled.
There was opposed to us battery of

nearly all down, dead or wounded. a

headlong into the ravine. II was a

ted to lie there. The battle went on
above, branches flew in the air, trees
were cut in two, and into that ravine
crept scores of brave men for shelter,
some to recover later, but more to die.
What do the nattily-dressed pleasure
seekers, who promenade in this park
and gaze curiously at us veterans, re-
alize of such scenes as those l describe
so impeGfectly?
"At eve the battle lulled, and there

one in blue and one in gray. Igathered
from their slow conversation that they
we're from the same village in Maryland,
schoolmates once, friends always. They
talked of other days, of the familiar
home scenes, of their wives and babes,
and then when the quiet stars came out
and the moon lighted the scene of car

peace had come, honorable peace, the
din and danger of battle past forever
Very calm and tranquil seemed the
pallid faces in the moonlight, and on
each was imprinted the friendly smile
of the boyhood days of which they had

of these later years. The gunners were
proud of my trig and trim appearance,
and groomed me as carefully as if I were

seen me as, with other guns of my cali

response to the first call for volunteers
ISSUED by Abraham Lincoln in 1861.

of thunder and hurled thunderbolts,
shooters of lightnings which struckwith
deadly effect. Our throats were often
parched and our iron constitutions
racked and strained, but we obeyed
orders, and sullenly served Death
until told to desist. They were
brave men who handled us in
the very center of the carnivais of
blood and fire, and ever above us floated
proudly our gallant comrde, the old
flag, often tattered and torn, singed
and ragged, but its stars shining ever as
stars of promise on their armament of

were the men in gray who fought under
what is now the conquered banner.
Even our iron souls and hearts of steel

The murderer who, at dead of night,
creeps, stealthily out to bury the dead and
mangled body of his victim inspires men
with horror and dread. There is a murderer
abroad who yearly Stays one-sixth of all the
human race who go down to untimely deaths.
This dread monster is called consumption.
The approach of consumption is slow and
insidious. First there is a slight disorder
of the digestion. The appetite is poor and
the nourishing properties of the food are moi
properly assimilated. The blood becomes
thin and impure. The body begins to starve.
Old tissues of the body are not properly re.
placed by new. The lung tissues are moi
properly rourished and are inert and half
dead. In this condition they offer a good
soil for the germs of consumption which
invade and attack them.
This operation is promptly reversed BY
d.. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery. Il
invigorates the digestion and appetite and
makes assimilation perfect It builds M
and purifes the blood. It makes new and
healthy tissue to replace the old, inert mat
ter which it causes to be carried of. I,

A Carnival of Sport at
the Opera House
Last Night.
Fine Musical Program Given


The athletic exhibition and entertain
ment given at the Red Jacket opera
house last evening for the benefit OF Sa'
cred Heart church was great success in
every way. The attendance was good
and the entertainment from beginning to
end was thoroughly enjoyable.
Although there were several little
bitches in the program, the proiecto'
scope being unable to show for some Of
teen minutes on account the electri'
cal apparatus giving out, and Mr.. Cam
eron being unable to appear for the two
numbers on the program for which he was
billed, bat aside from this the program
was carried out as announced.
The feature of the entertainment was
the athletic work OF the members OF the
Laurium Athletic club and this alone
was exceptionally fine At the opening
the club appeared in tableau and then
in pyramid building and alter this there
was an exhibition OF work on the vault
ing horse The different members did
some good work on the horse. Jack Har-
ripgton and the clown, Joe Hensle carry
ing off the honors. The horizontal bar
work was as good as had ever been seen
here and the members did themselves
proud. Ed Myers and Will Martin did
several very difficult leafs on the bar and
the awkward squad also showed up to
considerable advantage in this feature OF
the evenings program.
In the tumbling Will Charter and Will
Martin did some good work together
and these two and John Harrington
gave a combination tumblipg act that
brought down the house. Two OF the
awkward squad also made hit in the
tumbling act. The parallel bar work by
the club could not have been better and
the pyramid building in several different
positions won plau it's from the audi
ence.
The club swinging by Richard Roberts,
was fine exhibition and his drum major
act later in the program when he and Joe
Hensle filed the numbers OF Mr.. Cam
eron, Joe doing the clog dancing in good
style, brought down the house.
The musical numbers on the program
were all heartily enjoyed, the Guitar and
Mandolin club being gwen two encores.
