Il HERO IN HUMBLE LIFE.

The Chronicle very recently call
ed attention to the heroism of a
Young woman who dared the dan
ger of the Alaskan wilderness to
reach and minister to the needs of
a tribe of sick and starving Indians,
and exposed herself to diptheria in
its most violent form by nursing
the poor savages who were stricken
with it.
Such unselfsh and courageous
action constituted heroism in its
highest and most admirable form,
and now New York furnishes an
instance of possibly greater hero
ism.
The FIRE alarm rings out, the
bells clang, the driver of an engine
springs upon the drivers seat and
belts himself to it, and with his
gong ringing and whistles Shrek
ing rushes to the fire
With nerve and skill he guides
his painting team through throngs
of people and vehicles with safety,
and has almost reached the fire.
when straight before him he sees a
toddling little girl with a doll in
her arms-too much frightened or
fascinated to move out of the way
of danger.
She is too near for him to check
his horses, and he must decide
whether to run her down and
crush out her innocent life or turn
abruptly to the curb and wreck his
engine and risk his own life.
It is a matter not of minutes or
even of seconds, but of moment,
and he chose to save the life of the
child at the risk of his own.
There was but one chance in a
hundred to escape death, but, hero
that he was, he took that one, and
lost.
The wheels struck the curb, the
great mass of steel and brass fell
on him and pinioned him tosthe
and fractured his skull,
and he was borne away to die.
No warrior who amid the roll of
drums. the clang of swords and the
sound of trumpets met death in
the thickest of the battle ever died
more nobly.
When you make up your list of
heroes of 1904, write the name of
Peter Clark at the head of the list,
for when, to save a child. he gave
his own life, he won a hero's
crown.
The humble driver of a fire en-
CINE though he was. yet his was an
heroic; unseifsh sacrifice, and he
illustrated in his humble humanity
of the divine spirit eX-
by the sacrifice of the
and cross-laden
martyr of Calvary.
Greater love hath no man than
this-that a man lay down his life
for his friends. Houston Chron-

The percentage in this table is about
the percentage that the surplus would
show if prorated over the twelve
months
Manifestly these figures speak for
themselves. No custom among rail-
road companies would justify the st.
Louis in paying this dividend this
year. and had the directors declared
it they would have been criticized
as playing to the stock market.
This passing of the dividend is the
elimination Of hard-luck story with
few parallels in the railroad history of
the past two years. The primary cause
is that this line and the Iowa Cen
trail, making the northern Hawley
system, are dependent upon the crops
Of Iowa and contiguous territory for
three-quarters of their business. This
business has been cut to pieces by two
crop years in which that territory
recorded crop conditions on an aver
age below IS at their best, and far
| below the average of the corn states
! of the west at large. The secondary
cause is that the management, thru
| lack Of judgment or some cause, got
into a fight with the Cable crowd
when that clique controlled Rock
Island, with the result that the lucra-
tive alliance with that great system
was lost. The third cause is that this
| road has not been able to branch out
and reach new territory except thru
the purchase of the Des Moines &
Fort Dodge, which was only recent.
AS a result of all these things, the
stock has recently changed hands al
as low as $40 a share, a decline from
a high point of 115.
The present position of the road is
in reality, barring the current earn+
ings, somewhat better than it has beer
for many months. The crop condi
lions, as noted, promise better thar
since 1901. The quarrel with the
Gable management of Rock Island
has not been carried on against the
new management. Last week the
general manager of the ST. Louis road
met Messrs.f Lorree 8and Winchen a
Chicago and discussed affairs in the
most friendly spirit. Rock Island i:
going out of it's way to treat the Haw.
ley road well. The extension noted
above is the first move in the direc.
ton of taking away the third cause
Of weakness. There cannot be any
very radical extension policy because
the road has not the credit or thu
money to carry on such a policy. I
can and it intends, however, to reac1
some new traffic points within thu
next twelve months.

Lace or openwork hosiery is not
generally to be worn this season. The
favorite hose is made in fancy isles OF

shoes, tan hose will properly come
more into recognition.
Large-shaped cravats will be worn
thruout the season by those who OBJ
serve the rules Of correct dress. Bright
colors and pronounced patterns are
to be the rule. Ascots, tied by hand
or the broad four-in-hands, are to be
worn with the wing collar-the latter
style only with the turnover. Will

to be worn to some extent.
Shoes are always largely

strict orders against employees drink
