Louis A. Baumann, l6-year-old
water boy in Pennsylvania coal
mine, is one of the kind the world
calls heroes. He risked his own life
by plunging into swollen stream to
save that OF a human being. Two
times he was forced to go into the
water before the rescue was effected,
so he is real hero. The Carnegie
hero fund commission heard OF II and
awarded him medal. 'Me medal?"
said Baumann, when he was informed
Of the honor accorded him. "What do
| want with a medal?" This young
mans naive reception of the news
that he had done something extraordl-
nary in leaping to save a life at the
possible cost OF his own throws inter
esting light on the subjects Of heroes
and heroism. Apparently 1t was a
mere incident TO him. The man was
in the water, drowning. The thing to
do was to get him out. There was no
reason for any fuss over 1t. This, the
unconsciousness OF having done any.
thing that merits especial notice, is
the keynote Of the true hero. The
man who risks his life to save another
is not of the type that stops and con.
siders. He acts. What prompts him
to act can hardly be fathomed. The
impulse which prompts men to risk
their lives constitutes the mystery of
heroism. The soldier In battle has
the inspiration of patriotism, the love
of great deeds and of duty, and the
surge OF combat to urge him on to
what is certain death. The city fire
man who rushes into a burning build
ing has the inspiration of his fellows
and the traditions Of the department
The steamship captain who goes down
with his boat knows that 1t is the
proper thing to do. The isolated indi-
vidual who promptly risks his life
when the occasion demands has none
Of these sources of inspiration. He
acts from some sudden spring of i'm
pulse within himself. The impulse
says, DO" and he does. Afterward
1t may come upon him that he has
risked his life, but never when he is
in the act of doing so. 1t is the help
less one who commands his full atten-
ton. The difference between the hero
and the rest of men is that he does not
pause to think. Between the warm
impulse to do and the actual deed
there is no time of cold reflection. The
man who is not hero pauses, reflects
and is lost The hero does not weigh
his chances nor the heroics of the stu
alton. Neither does he consider the
likelihood that his deed may be wide
ly known. A medal comes as a shock
to him. Medals do not make heroes
Probably the hero himself does not
know what makes him. In calling
general attention to these unheroic he
roes by the distribution Of medals, the
Carnegie commission is doing good
work by giving the world the inspira-
ton that all examples Of heroic action
hold.

possibility of bringing the ashes of

what one correspondent writes that IT
will be a more difficult task to find

than it was to discover the remains
of John Paul Jones, for the church has
been burned twice since Pocahontas
