True HerOism.

DR.. j. J. Norton is true
hero and this is the way he
saved the life of twelve year
old boy. Once upon a time he
was visiting Uncle Bob Spald-
ing near Spalding. While
there he took a notion to catch
one of the nice catfish that
Salt River is noted for harbor.
ing. So he went to the bank Of
the Stream one ever ing and set
his lines. Next morning by
sunrise the doctor was astir and
pulling out for the river. Upon
reaching the stream he was
disappointed at finding the
weary cat had Stunned his lines,
but upon looking down the
stream he saw pole (set out
by some one elee) thrashing the
water and of course he made
a run to see what caused the
commotion. Wnen he reached
that point he could see by the
bdrefooted prints that the line
had been set by boy possibly
twelve years old. The first
thought was; lucky boy; the
second now maby that boy is
the only child and support of a
widow and if he comes here
and sees that pole thrashing
the waiter, he may get excited,
scramble down the steep bank
slip into the river and drown,
and that would never do. The
question was how to save that
boy. The doctor solved the
problem and heroically saved
the boy for his mother, by let
ting himself down the steer
bank and drawing the nice
large channel cat in. took it of
the hook and cast it high aud
dry upon the bank, Then the
doctor thought it would never
do to let that beauty lay there
and flop and flop for it nigh
flop back into the river anG
finally to save the fish he
heroically picked 1t up and
carried it to the house and put
it in frying pan. Where is J II

The way it is done is this. A

books on it is cast crosswise

securely fastened so large fish
cannot swim away with it. DR..
James Goodier was fond of the
sport and he ans a brother

The next morning the doctor
awakened early hungry for fish
and slipped away, got into the
skitf and run" the line. He
found a small fish on it and to
have some sport left it there
and then went after brother
James. When they returned to
the river, he pulled the skiff
while the good brother run

brother James Lied out we've
got whopper and while he
was anticipating catching the
big fish the doctor was split,

1t Is to them, as every one admits,

respectful obedience to tradition is
worthy Of any cause. 1t must have
