A LITTLE HERO.
Only Seven Years Old but
Saves Two Lives.

New York. Jan. 7.--When quick-witted
Freddie Moore, of bath Beach, saw the
ice break and his brother John and his
friend Harry Wright sink I'm the little
pond in Dyker Meadows. he did not stop
10 cry.
Seven winters have passed over the
head OF Master Fred. but il is an old little
head for all that.
Dropping his sKates he scrambled for
the bsnk In an unfinished frame house
not far away he found some boards. one
OF these he threw upon the Ice. The
drowning boys seized IL and hung on for
dear life while the seyen-year-old life
saver went for more.
He ran a line OF boards out on the ice
10 the treacherous spot where his brother
and chum had gone in, and creeping out
on his hands and knees, he gave them
hand and helped them to crawl out.
Wet cold benumbed, the trio ran home
as fast as their little legs could carry
them.
Their wet clothing was stripped OFF and
hot blankets and hot lemonade were ad-
ministered in heroic doses until two doc
tors came and prescribed for them. At
last accounts all three were doing wen.
The water In the little pond in which
the boys were submerged Is more than
ten feet deep The skating was good
there before Christmas. but the Christ
mas thaw spoiled the skating, and the
new ice which formed when the present
cold snap set i'm had not grown thick
enough to make II safe.
The boys would have drowned had II
not been for the quick wits packed away
in Master Fred's small head.
His brother. whom he rescued. was IL
years DID, and Harry Wright was twice
his age.

by a Tailor. Roosevelt wore a suit made of lion skins. He killed
MANY lions in Colorado. on his hunting tip, so he had a suit made
out of them. No doubt when he presides there will be considerable

WHAT AN OSHKOSH
PAPER SAYS OF NE.
TER RATE DECISION.

In commenting on the decision handed
Down by Judge Kirwan, relative TO
water rates according to meter measure
ments the Oshkosh Northwestern says:
Judge kirwan of the Fourth judicial
circuit Of this state has just rendered a
decision which if upheld will have an
important bearing on water rates and
will apply to public utilities wherever
the supply is metered This was a
Manitowoc case. In that city the water
cOmpany's franchise makes the mini
mum water rate for any tap five dollars
\ consumer had a meter put III and the
amount Of water metered came to less
than five dollars at meter rates The
company refused to accept less than five
dollars the minimum rate for one tap
specified in the franchise, The consul
mer refused to pay more than the meter
called for The company shut off his
water. The consumer applied for a
mandamus to compel the company to
turn on his water. Judge Kirwan
issued the mandamus and sustained the
complaint holding that where meter
is used the consumer is liable only for
the amount Of water be uses, regardless
Of what the minimum rates are under
the franchise
