the pier, and there they huddled to-
gether like lot of frightened sheep.
They believed that they were doomed
Either they must be slain with that
murderous knife. or they must perish
by an almost surely fatal leap into the
Jagged masses of floating ice and deep,
benumbing water.
There was an immensely long timber
lying obliquely across the wharf, one
end of which was propped by pile Of
boards and then projected out over the
water for perhaps twenty feet-exactly
like the bowsprit of vessel.
Suddenly, as Ambrose Melton CHANGED
to notice the projecting timber his alert
brain conceived plan to save the en-
dangered workmen.
The boy in that awful moment forgot
all about his Injuries and his schemes Of
vengeance.
Quicker.than thought he sprang from
his hiding place, shrewdly attracting
the madman's attention from the work.
men to himself.
The maniac at once whirled to pursue
him.
Ambrose pretended to be confused
with fea, and after shutting now to one
side and then to the other, as if uncer-
tain which way to fly, he finally darted
up the timber.
And Of course the crazy man instant.
ly perceived the boys chance Of falling
while he meyer suspected the same peril
for himself.
Now I've got you. sure he yelled,
with his hideous lunatic laughter.
The boy went up the slanting timber
with the ease of professional rope
walker while the other followed with
all the reckless daring Of insanity.
The boy was within FIVE feet Of the
further end, and his pursuer would have
overtaken him in second more.
Just then be abruptly turned and
threw himself face downward flat upon
the timber which he graspsd with his
left hand. while with his right hand and
arm he dealt the maniac tremendous
blow across the inside of the knees.
The crazy man g legs doubled under
him like straws, and he dropped like a
stone into the water below, while Am
brose ran lightly down the timber back
to the wharf.
We must get him out somehow boys;
we mustn't let him drown, he said to
the gang Of workmen,
They disliked to undertake the rescue,
however, and while they hesitated, a
party from the asylum, who had been
searching for the escaped lunatic, ar
rived and sayed the poor wretch from
death in the frozen lake.
In the meantime the gang of work
men had mounted the young hero upon
their shoulders, and was thus escorting
him to the superintendent Office up in
the village,
The story Of the boys wonderful ex-
plot was soon related to the superin-
tendent.
And said the spokesman, we want
you to give the lad job. We won't
have him down there. We won't let
nobody take a comrade' .itel alton, and
besides. Brosy deserves better work
than our rough hauling and tugging.'
That was the workmen s way of apol'
ogizing for their wrong doing, and show
ing their gratitudeto the boy for saving
some one of their lives-as he had un-
doubtedly done.
And Ambrose was really awarded a
place as under clerk in the superinten-
dents Office as sort of acknowledge
ment Of his ready wit and cool courage
in trapping mailman.

A newspaper is an educator; there are all
kinds Of educators, but the man who spends
money ,iudciously and literally is better able
to impart his knowledge than the man who
has little or nothing to spend.
The San is the highest type OF newspaper.
The SIMS Special Correspondents through
out the United States, rs well as in Europe,
South Africa, China, and, in fact, all over the
world, make it an up to date newspaper.
The Market Reports and commercial fta.
lures put the farmers, the merchant and the
broker in close touch with the markets at
Baltimore, Norfolk, Charleston, New York
Chicago, Philadelphia and OTHER places which
are prominent centcrs.
From now on the news oftbe world prom
iscs to be more interesting than ever before
and nations! and political questions will arise
making probably the most cyentful period in
the country's history.
THIS, together with the corps of editors
and reporters at Baltimore, Washington and
New York, make The San invaluable to its
readers.

OBJECT LESSON FOR OTHER
TOWNS

he GOLD LEAF recent Y copied from
the Waynesville Courier a brief article
concerning lis Graded School show
ing what a great factor it had been in
the growth and prosperity OF that
town. As has been the history OF
other places the facts are that with
the establishment Of its Graded School
Waynesville took on new growth and
its condition has been marked by a
spirit o: progress, thrift and enter
prise alike surprising aud gratifying
to its citizens and tax payers The
Mount Olive Adrertiser reprints the
article and comments as follows:
What the Graded School has done
for Waynesville, it will also do for
Mount Olive; and it will prove to be
an opening wedge for more and
greater Improvements that will fol-
low the establishment of good
school as surely as day follows night.
At this time, we cannot recall a
good town without good school: we
do not know Of a town whose people
enjoy the distinction OF culture, re-
tinement and high intellectually. I'M
less such qualities can be traced to
the influence Of a good local school.
Education is the foundation of
progress in all moral. intellectual and
commercial avenues: it is the compass
that points the way to success and
honor: it i. the bed rock Of our power
as people; it is the mud sill Of our
commercial prosperity. Let us then

the movement for Graded School in
Mount Olive - its establishment
means the dawning of new day; it.
failure means the drawing Of a dark
curtain over the bright and promis-
ing future, the clouding Of the minds
of our children, the shilling OF the
wheels Of progress.
