An Unnamed Hero.

Among the melancholy applications
for .leaye to presume death" in the
Stella disaster Was IL touching in its
revelation of ii deed of heroislp. The
applicant was Il Miss Baker. whose
father. IL major, had gone down With
the vessel. Both We're about to perish
when the father made u pitcous APP
peal to a boat load Of passengers who
were leaving the side to find room for
his daughter. One man, Of whose
identity there is absolutely no truce,
Instantly stepped hack to the ship and
allowed the lady to take his place. AS
the boat cleared the side the vessel
went down, carrying with 1t the girls
father and her unknown escuer. How
beautiful! how unrtterably sad! His
anonymity seems somehow to enhance
the heroic granduer of his death. Moth
ing would have been gained by know
ing his name. A MAJ capable of such
Il deed wants no mortuary honors, nor
the local habitat!on of a monument.
He belongs to the infinite of greatness,
and his fitting grave is the sea.-Lon-

rapher, land got nearly scared out of
my wits for my pains. l vas at q lit
tie town On the Texas Pacific on some
business, and had taken along q snap
shot camera to pick up some scenery en-
route. While I was wandering about
the outskirts of the town l heard the
whistle OF an incoming express train.
and 1t occurred to ME to get a head-on
picture of 1t as 1t approached. There
was a siding near by. paralleling the
main track, at Il distance of about
eight feet, and containing a string OF
freight cars. I took my stnnd with
my shoulders against one of the box
cars, so as TO hold my camera steady,
set the shutter and waited for the fast
train. In q moment she appeared
around u curve ahead, rushing toward
me at the rate of about forty-five miles
an hour. Up to that instant there had
seemed to be plenty Of space between
the main track and the siding for a
III to stand in perfect safety. but sud
denly it seemed too narrow. l had q
sickening sensation that the great,
headlong monst of IL locomotive was
hurting itself straight at me, and If
such 81 ching had been possible l would
have run cross to the other side. But
childish as the confession may seem. I
was absolutely %transtixed with terror.
l couldn't move. All I could do was to
cling to the hand irons of the freight
and glare at the engine, which was
growing bigger and bigger with incred-
ible swiftness. Meanwhile the roar Of
its approach was gathering volume
until 1t filed my ears like a hurricane.
I fattened myself against the side a
the car and shut my eyes, and then,
with a hot blast On my face and a
~deafening crash Of sound something
shot by. When 1 opened my eyes again
the landscape was clear and the train
was diminishing in the distance. But
I was so unnerved and faint that l had
to sit down for a good quarter Of an
hour before l could return to town.
1t was Il horrifying experience. and 1
wouldn't pass through it again for a
share in the road. How about the head

in my excitement and never remember

Yankee Brac.

Aprolos of the proposed "Anglo

ace Greeley's neat rebuke of the Eng.
lishman who once agreed with him too
literally may be worth telling. Mr..
Greeley was discussing, in a general
company, the faults and needs Of his
own nation.
What this country needs" said he,
in his piping voice and Yankee accent,
"is % real good licking.'
1t happened chat there was IN Eng
hshman present, and he promptly said,
with unmistakable English accent:
quite right Mr.. Greeley, quite right.
The country needs q licking.'"
But Mr.. Greeley, without glancing
In the E~nglishman's direction, or seem.
ing to pay any attention to the inter
ruptiOn, went on in the same suueaky
tone:
"But the trouble IA, there's no Dstion
that a give 1t to us!'
