EVERYDAY HEROES.

There were three heroes at the fire that wrecked the old Draper building in North Attleboro the other day. One was Jennie Stanley, who lost her life trying to save her employers books. Another was q priest third William Smith, member of the firm.
 When in mortal agony, her dress and flesh ablaze. the brave girl fell from an upper doorway and lay un- were near but they were so unnerved by the sight that they could not move a step. Then says the Attleboro Sun, "Rey Father Cassidy, who had shown presence of mind before, now showed the nerve that makes men fa- nous. Snatching off his long cassock he wrapped it about her head and shoulders and bore her in his arms to an adjoining field" There the fire in her clothing was extinguished.
 Smith, jumping about the same time the girl did, lay injured between two blazing walls, one of which might fall upon him. To those who came to help him he cried, Don't touch me. Save the girl!y
 It is in such trying times as this one at Attleboro that bring out the best or the worst in human character And this trying by fire" assuredly proved that at least one woman and two men there were courageous self-sacrificing and thinking less of self than of others. -BroctOn Enterprise.

They have practically sacrificed home rule that the Protes- tant people of South Africa might be saved from a monarchial enslavement. The war Is costly one. and so far England has paid out more than G1,- 000,000,000, and the expense is now going on at the rate of G2,000,O00 a week. The Irish parliamentarians have protested and shown that Ireland has no hand or heart in the war. When the people of Great Britain come 10 foot up the bill think they will hold the government responsible. The issue today is the Boer war. Seventy thou sand men have been withdrawn from the Cape because they are exhausted and unfit for service. If the Boers had 10000 more men and fifty more guns they would drive the English into the sea-"

THEY WANTED THAT HORSE.

A story of the peculiar conduct of two very mysterious refugees from jus tice comes from Colonia Juarez, below Casas Graidies. J. A. Smith returned from there Saturday night, where he has been on an outing. with his family, and gave the story about as follows, A few days ago two rough looking men came to the colony and camped for the night near some houses. They arose early the next morning, and one of them went into the pasture of MT Mcclellan, a prominent Mormon, and was trying to lasso a. horse that was grazing near the house. Charles Mcclellan, son of the owner, went out to him and asked what he was af- ter. Il want that horse," he said, and am going to have him. 1 will buy it if you will sell it, but if you won't will take it anyway" Mcclellan told him that the horse belonged to him and he did not want to sell 1t and started to approach the man. The stranger, rough looking customer about forty years old, drew his revolver around in front where he could get it handy, and repeated that he was going to have the horse, and there was no way out of it. Il want him and will have him now" he said, and you had as well go away" Mcclellan put price on the horse and told the man to catch him. The stranger made another attempt, but the horse kept out of his way. You can't catch him. so get at it." said the stranger, in tone that meant bus mess. Mcclellan was unarmed, and saw that fO resist was uSplpSc SD caught the horse and turned him over to the stranger. I will go see my partner and get the money and return and pay you," the gringo said. and dis appeared. The boy waited for while, and the man did not reappear, so he went to the colony headquarters and reported the matter to Manager Ivans. In the meantime other parties had or gan1zed posse and were about to start i'll pursuit of the two men, but Manager Iyans insisted that they let them go. He explained that the men were desperate characters, to to fol- low them would mean fight and prob ably much bloodshed so the expedition was abandoned. MT Ivans thinks they were tough criminals from the United States" said Mir Smith, ''and would have done anything to keep clear of the officers. They were head ed for the mountains, and evidently took the horse because they needed fresh one. and not merely for the sake of stealing." Fl Paso officers think that the fugitiyes were Bill Taylor and his pals, who recently broke jail.-El Paso Herald.

HOW THE FILIPINos FIGHT.
They Are Poor Shooters and After the Second shot Always
 Run Away.

Capt. Isaiah H. Baker arrived here almost direct from Manila, says the Portland (Me.) Argus.
 Capt. Baker said: "We met the ma tives and had few arguments with them as long as they would stop, which was not long, and then we came home. That is all there is to say. My company has travelled 100 miles a week, and in some places the ground was so steep that pony which is ac- customed to all kinds of climbing there would find it difficult to get along.''
 In speaking about the natives and their mode of warfare, attacking from the bush and in other ways, he said: .They cannot shoot, and that is an absolute fact. By lying close to the trail and hiding behind bushes that are so dense that one cannot see through six feet of them, the Filipinos will shoot some men, but it is only by pure luck on their part. If they out number the soldiers, they will fire a second volley, but that is the end, for they immediately run and hide like animals. The chances are that you will not see an individual They can cover two miles to our one, are bare foot, spry and active; have nothing to carry and know tFse lay of the land. have never known of more than three men being shot at one time. If they can get to work with their bolos upon a man who has strayed from the main body, he is very likely to be killed or captured. If they could shoot with any degree of accuracy, it would require 5000 rather than 1oO,- 900 soldiers to control them. Our men know how to use their rifles, and they always shoot at something
 "It is interesting how the Filipinyos will shoot from ambush. For the first volley they win take aim with the best of their ability and fire. Perhaps they will hit one or two. As stated above, if they happen to outnumber us, they will try second shot To do this they will immediately after firing the first shot hide their heads, and with their guns pointed in the direc- ton that they imagine is right, they will fire the second volley, which us ual- ly goes from IS 10 20 feet above our heads"

Boys and men, too, who go tramping through the woods and pick wild fruit and berries should have q care. Many things that look palatable are poison ous. In Sharon, Pa, a short time ago, three boys ate some berries which looked like wild grapes and ill a short time were seized with convlusions and died. The action of the poison, says the Sanitarian, twas so much like that of strychnine that worthy farmer was accused of putting that drug into cider to punish the boys for stealing it. Fortunately for the farmer, he had not bought any poison to kill bugs on his crops, and so escaped a serious time, for nothing could be proved against him. Local physicians sent specimens of the berries found in the boys pockets to Prof Thomas Meehan of the Academy of Natural Sciences in Philadelphia, and he identified them as moon seed. In his report he said: The plant is the moon seed-appropri- ately so called from the form of the seed within the pulp-and botanically Menispermum Canadense. It is very closely related to the we'll known po:- sonous drug Cocculus Indicus of the pharmacists. The action of the poison is said to be similar and almost the same as strychnine. The leaves re- semble in form those of the English ivy. but are much smaller and thinner. The vine is of slender growth, reach ing the height of about ten feet in the season. In the fall and winter. there is nothing to be seen but the clusters of shining black berries, resembling the frost grape" and children may readily believe they are gathering and eating grapes. Fortunately, the plant is not very common This plant may indeed be uncommon, but it is good thing to know that it exists"

They reached Arundel in charge of Monsigaore Del Val, arch bishop of Nicaea, Asia Minor, and were placed in the private chapel of the duke of Norfolk pending final in- terment in the shrine being prepared for their reception in the new Catho- lie cathedral in Westminster.
 The body after burial at Hoxne was reinterred at Bury St. Edmunds, from which place 1t was carried off to France by Louis VII. Through the good offices and personal intervention of the pope the relics are nowreturned to England.
