Becker Of New Brunswick, N. j., be-
longs in the list of those who have
given their lives to ave others. The
boy was playing in the street with his
younger brother and sister one day
last month, when a runaway team of
horses, attached to a heavy wagon,
came around the corner. Rudolph was
near the curbing and might have saved
himself, but instead he ran out, drew
his little sister one side, then darted
right in front of the horses, in an effort
to save his brother. Both wheels
passed over him. and he lived but
two hours, the only words he spoke
being the question, Did baby and
Nathan get hurt?" The other children
were both saved.

that is not prescribed by the attending
physician. As the vessel neared the
city after a recent trip seward, a
watchful nurse came suddenly upon
two small girls and their baby brother.
A frightened, furtive hiding Of some
thing in a paper bag awakened her sus-
picion. She investigated, and found
that the children had been attempting
to feed the baby with fragments Of lob
ster and cucumber. Stern questioning
brought a fearful confession from the
frightened children. Baby's too rapid
convalescence threatened to deprive
them of further delightful outings in
the hospital. and to prevent this they
concluded to give him a convenient re-
lapse. But" said the Mortified nurse
