It would appear that one of the most
dangerous Cf peaceful occupations is
the seemingly inocuous one Of attend
ant OF a jciners planning machine. At
a hearing in prosecution under the
factory act at Halifax recently, a fac
tory inspector told the court that when
he took office he made it a point to
try to discover an attendant of such a
machine who had all his fingers. 1t
was five years before he came across
such a man.
All the attendants Of joiners planning
machines whom he had seen in the
meantime had one or more fingers
missing, which they had lost in the
performance of their work And that,
notwithstanding the fact that the men
engaged in such work are aware of
the danger and are careful.-New York

AReal Hero.

as sublime as any in history. But we
have one less than we had only a short
time ago.
Patrick Mccormick was a Chicago
fireman with an average record for
good conduct. Last Friday afternoon
it was his turn TO take the afternoon
off. He was in front of the Cottage
Grove avenue engine house, starting
away to enjoy his leisure halliday.
when the fire alarm was sounded and
an engine dashed down the avenue.
A man on the engine called to Nc
COrmick and he determined to be on
hand at the fire. But it was too late
for him to spring upon the passing
engine. An express wagon was near,
which he called, and jumping aboard
he told the driver to run for the fire.
Following the engine it was but a
few minutes before he reached the
scene Of the fire and went to work
al if work was the recreation Of his
uuiAuAg-
Mccormick was the only man killed
at that tire. He was at post of duty
near a tOttering wall, and an ava
lanche of superheated bricks covered
him before he could escape. His body
was found under the heap OF ruins.
His holiday sense Of duty called him
to his tragic fate.
There are heroes in all the ways and
walks Of life at all times and in all
pl1ces. Every human being moved
by a heroic impulse become a hero.
Our hremen are a heroic class Every
year gives Us instances that they are

He was Not auillotined.

bis own invention. AS a matter Of
fact Dr. Joseph Ignatius GuillOsn, a
medical member Of the Tiers-Etat, who
had adopted an English instrument
Cthe Halifax Maiden) as a means OF
making the death penalty equal for
all, died peacefully in Paris in 1914,
at the age Of seventy-six. The common
blunder was probably caused by an
entry in the annual register on this
day in 1874, to the effect that J. B. ",
GuillOtine NJ. d., of Lyons, was exc
cuted lately. 1T is an extraordinary
thing THAI he should die by an instru-
ment Of his own invention. He died
with great reluctance. and declared
that when he produced his instrument
to the world it was from motives Of
humanity alone" This alleged motive
was founded on fact, but the date Of

SIDE-LIGHTS ON TIE INTERESTING CA
REER OF A REMARKABLE MAN,

TO be the largest single milk pro-
ducer in the state of Connecticut, and
the largest landholder of any single
farmer in the state in point of acreage
of improved and tillable lands is the
unique and remarkable distinction con-
cerning that energetic and successful
Washington farmer and man of affairs,
Benjamin Seeley. For several years
1T has been the purpose of the editor
of The BEE to give to the public a
little sketch of the career of this inter-
eSting man, who has often been mis-
judged as to his motives and course in
life, even by his neighbors and friends
who know him best. 1t is an undenla-
BILE truth that in arriving at correct
estimate of any life one must know it's
intimate history, the difficulties with
which it had to contend, it's environ
ment, and very important factor the
ancestry of the life in question.
Mr. Seeley is busy man. And
wouldn't you be, reader, it you had
the oversight of 1000 acres of improved
farm land and marketed 1900 quarts
of milk day in addition to attending
to other farm duties? So in order to
corner him for time without taking
up his valuable time, the writer took
a trip over section of the New York
and New Haven system in his COM
pany. Mr. Seeley has for years been a
warm friend of The BEE and good
naturedly consented to the interview,
and when it was finished the writer
had better appreciation of the worth
of the man, who by an indomitable
will, had overcome difficulties that
would have disheartened many at the
outset.
Benjamin Seeley was born in Wash
ington, April "a, 1889, the son Of Mr.
and Mrs Gregory Seeley. He first saw
the light of day in the farm house
which has been occupied for some
years by Robert Irwin, in the south
part of Washington, and which at that
time was owned by Gregory Seelev, his
father, one of the most successful and
energetic farmers in Washington in
