Joseph I,anglois, a Lincoln Park, Chi
cago policeman. has a life saving record
probably uneaualled by any other man
of his age in the country. or in the
world Although not yet quite thirty
seven years of age, he has saved, or as
sisted in saving. more than one hundred
persons. He is, furthermore. a modest
hero, who seems reluctant to talk about
his rescues, and when quetioned refers
to them in such a matter of fact and
unima ginative way as to convey the I'M
preston that the deeds We're simply rou-
tine incidents. Possibly the frequency
Of the risks he has taken and his sue
cesses have made them look common
place to him.
Larglois Is the son of French Canadian
parents who were natives of a little vii
lace near Montreal and who. about forty
years ago, mmigrated to Two Rivers.
Wis where Joseph was born. Even in
childhood he had a liking for the water
and can scarcely remember the time
when he could not swim and dive. Two
rivers is dangerous point In Lake
Michigan. and as he grew up he saw
many thrilling accidents in connection
with storms and disabled vessels There
is a life saving station there. and at
the age of eighteen he Joined the crew.

it does not take very long to crystalize
tie wind tossed waves into ice banks on
the shore. In front of the life saving
ststior these ice hills sometimes rose
to the height of fifteen feet or more
and more than once Langlois and the
crew had to launch their lifeboat down
this ice hill at a signal of distress, with
the risk of the boat and themselves be-
in. submerged on reaching the water.
While in service there he was noted for
rls GOODNESS and daring and was instru-
mental in saving several shipwrecked
crews and many persons from drown
ing.
In 1890 Langlois went to South Chicago
and became member of the life-saving
crew at that point where his reputa-
| ton had preceded him After a year

Captain st. Peters, stationed near the
mouth of the Chicago River. maintain

cial mention. To save from drowning a
man or woman who has fallen into a
river or lake. or been upset5from a boat.

When the World Fair was opened In
| Chicago in 1893 the directors deemed it
necessary to establish life-saving sta
ton at the grounds on the shore of the
! lake, and Langlois was one of those Sc

In regard to some Of the attacks
that have been made upon Fletcher
D. Proctor by the Mccullough news
papers the Rutland News publishes
the following statement which the
TELEGRAM is pleased to reproduce
Having exhausted every imaglnaole
sphere of possible political criticism
with their Misrepresentation OF
Fletcher D. Proctor's political career
and the circumstances under which
he became candidate for governor,
the Mccullough newspapers have the
past week renewed their attacks upon
his relations to his employees. IN
their eagerness to lnjure him tney
have stopped to traduce and! slander
not only him and the young men as
sociated with him IN the manage.
ment OF the Vermont Marble company
but the great body of its employees.
Indeed, for the same purpose they
have even gone Gu. of their way TO
traduce ann slander a whole commun-
ity, According to their code 1t has
become proper to lie about anything
and any body III order to attack Mr.
Proctor.
These articles have all emanated
from one source and that is the NC
Cullough headquarters at Benningt IN;
In varying form they have appeared
in different papers. Take for example
the leading editorial in the Benning
ton Banner, McCullough's home or
gan, for May %, with which the state
is being Hooded. Omitting every
reference to Its demagogic phrases
it's epthets OF abuse, it's false infer
ences, and m llici0us inuendoes, let u
consider few only Of its explicit
statements and compare them will
the real facts. The Banner says:
i. proctor, or the Vermont Mar
ole company, owns every foot OF lant

building purposes, and no one othe
than an employe of The Vermont Mar
