COMPLIMENTS TO THE SOUTH
She Retains Her Old Time Prestige i'm
Furnishing Leaders.

The names of five young men, this
years graduates of the United States
Military Academy, have been given
- out by the authorities of the academy
as star men. They have achieved ali
round excellence in their final examina-
4 tons, and they stand at the head Of
this years class. One of these young
men is from Michigan and another
r. from Oregon. The rest are from the
: SNuth. The first man ON the list is
AjnuBs, Of Georgia; the third is Graves,
OF North Carolina, and the fifth is Rid
ley, of Maryland. The disappointment
that may be felt because eastern men
are not represented in this honor roll
of the educational institution which
Americans love best is compensated by
the thought that the part of the coun-
try which has given America a race OF
brave soldiers and great generals from
George Washington to FftZhugh Lee,
is still able to furnish quota Of able
and loyal young Americans to take the
prizes at West POint.-Syracuse (N. "

A GIRLS LIFE SAVED
I;y The Heroic Action and Fine Horse
manship of a Minister.

Actuated by the parental spirit and
that of his sacred calling, Rev. Ir.
NJ. D.. Hardin, pastor of the Second
Presbyterian church, yesterday afte"
moon saved the life of a little girl, a
daughter of Mr.. j. Y. Orders, of this
city, by interposing his splendid Ken
lucky thoroughbred horse, and intel
cepting the fight of a frightened horse
attached to q buggy occupied by the
child. The act was one of distinguish
I'd fortitude and gallantry on the part
Of DR.. Hardin, and called forth such
comment as has seldom found utter
ance in this community. At the risk
of limb and life, and stalking his splcn-
did horse as well, the unselfsb minister
ac, cmplished such d feat as few even
care to undertake. Shortly after 4
O'Clock Misses Mary and Laura Orders
drove to the residence of Mr.. Thomas
Buxton, ID North College street, and
occupied seats in an open buggy behind
a horse of their father. On arriving Mt
the house Miss Mary Orders left the
vehicle and entered the home of her
friends leaving her younger sister lii
charge OF the horse. At the passing OF
Il street car that contained the Watts
birthday party, the horse took fright

where numerous wagons and carriages
were on the move. The girl held
bravely to lie ines and guided the ami
NAL along The middle of the street.
DR.. Hardin, no was out riding, TOOK
in the situation at a glance, when he
put spurs t. his horse and pushed him
with all possible energy and speed i'll
tie direction OF the frightened beast
and the lG Ger he carried. Twice he
failed to grasp Tie hpes nea the bit,
when he employed all his powers to
Are ak the progress of the unruly ami
mai. In a mOment or two he had &C
tomplished his purpose. His large ami
powerful horse stood in the way Of the
runaway. There was a shock, the sud-
den impact of which crushed the fore
part of the buggy-wheels, dashboard
and bOttOm-and released the running
horse from his harness and also broke
the shafts. The littl" girl was thrown
suddenly and violently to the ground
amid the WreckdSC OF the buggy. DIR.
Hardin and those who had been at
tracted by tie excitement and alarm on
the street lifted tepderly and carefully
the small girl and carried her into the
house of Mrs. Sallie Terrence, where
she rec"i"e.i every possible attention.
DIR. G.. e. Masor was summoned and
administered aid. after which the girl
was takeI. to the home of her parents.
At Il late hour last night she was rest
ing with Il tOlerable degree of comfort,
no bones having been broken, and her
injuries having been pronounced nou
of a serious nature.-CharlOtte Obser-
