Back of the Deed.

The best thing hero does for the
world is simply being hero; the deed
we applaud, however great, is worth
less than the personality that made il
possible. Heroic deeds come in flash,
but the gathering OF hero material is u
long, slow process. The hour does not
make the man, il only reveals him, and
and many q one who is impatient of
commonplace duties, and is secretly
longing for some opportunity that will
enable him TO fash his light upon the
world, has neglected the all-important
matter of storing up anything with
which to illuminate.
Heroes are not made in q moment,
however IL may seem. Courage, self
sacrifice, lofty purposes, strength OF
will, and power of endurance. are q
growth q slow growth of years, and
whoever cultivates them becomes he
roic character, noble and worth while,
quite independent of any chance to
manifest the fact abroad. The heroic
soul will do the heroic deed when need
arises, whether the whole world or only
the eye OF God is watching.-Worid's

''Step in Anywhere. :"

During one of the great battles of the
Civil War, q recruit who had lost his
company in the tumult of strife, ap-
preached Gen. Sheridan and timidly
asked where he should "step in."
s.Step in?' thundered Sheridan, in q
voice that frightened the already terri
fed recruit almost as much as the roar
of cannonading and musketry. "Step
In anywhere; there's figting all along
the line"
An accident occurred recently that
very forcibly brought Sheridan's words
to mind A heavy piece of machinery
was being moved into q building by
means of block and tackle. Suddenly
one of the. ropes parted and the ma
chine began to slide backward. The
two men who had charge of the work
sprang to stay its progress, but 1t was
more than they were capable of doing.
Give Us lift" one of them shouted
TO a bystander.
"Where shall I take hold?" asked
the man thus addressed, unmindful OF
the fact that both men were exerting
every muscle to control the machine
aad that there was not second to lose.
Grab hold snywhere!" yelled the
mover.
But another had already seen the ne.
cessity for instant action, and rendered
the necessary assistance.
It'll may be that we are in field where
we are not accustomed to work, and are
timidly asking where we shall ''steI
in." We may find our answer in the
words oi Sheridan: "Step in any
where; there's fgting all along the
line"

The Findlay Republican, in its report
of the exercises at that city Decoration
Day, gives the following report of the
orstion by Congressman Warnock:
"Mr. Lotten then introduced Col.
Wsrnock, the speaker, in one of the
neatest Introductory speeches ever
made before FiEdlsy audience.
He spoke of him as the man who In one
term In congress had made q place of
commanding position for himself and
was high In the chief counsels of his
party. But, he said, it was not as a
congressman, but as one of the boys
who had marched through the mud
and mire of the bsttlefields of the
South, who hsdA slept on the tented
field, and who for four years had borne
= musket shoulder to shoulder to his
fellows, that he was greeted today.
The stirring speech, brief but eloquent,
was cheered to the echo.
Judge Wsrnock was at his best and
his address was listened to with wrapi
attention.
A plea for the Observance of the sa-
cred offices of the day, was the frs,
