THE WORLDS HEROES.

The average man would rather
race the fire OF hostile armies and
battle side by side with death, fight
ing for his country. than dig In the
city's streets or cart the city's gar
bage. or push a broom on the bou-
levard. Yet II is the men who do this
work work which is commonly de-
spised and looked down upon-who
are the real heroes OF Chicago These
are the men whose hard, honest
faithful labor has placed this city
among the most economical I'm the

Controller Lawrence r. McGann.
of Chicago is author of the above
statement
IL is an unusual view OF heroism
But no right-regulated mind can
think twice on the subject without
realizing that It IS the right one
Heroism is commonly supposed TO
be born in blaze of glory
We seldom think Of It az dun. pa

Yet common labor faithfully per-
formed has done more for the adj
vancement OF mankind than have all
the battles ever fought.
The man in the sewer is called
down under the streets into the foul
air and ever-imminent danger His is
a life OF constant discomfort and de-
NAL; yet he tolls on and seldom
complains.
The ditch digger at his work and

The city garbage man as he makes
his way through noisome alleys
while others sleep, carving off the
refuse and making the city habitable
for the rest of us, offers as fine an
example of lifelong devotion to un-
pleasant duty as he world affords
II is harder TO stand up under
daily toll and nightly discomfort than
under the fire OF a battle line.
There is no drumbeat to thrill
one. no bright waving flag to follow,
no hope of glory in the every-uay
devotion TO duty.
Hard toll and poor pay are more
difficult to face than bullets.
But millions Of men do face the
unhappy condition all their lives.
And we cannot OverestImate their
heroism or their service.

Ella Clemmons Weds Celestial Who
Gets So a Day.

Gets " Day.
Among the ruins of Chinatown, Ella
Clemmons, sister Of Mrs. Howard
Could who was formerly Katherine
Clemmons, the actress, is living as the
wife of Sun Yue, pigtailed celestial
who works among the piles of bricks
at San Francisco. She admitted she
has married Sun Yue according to Chi
nese rites, and is happy in her associa-
ton with the yellow race.
For some years before the great fire
Ella Clemmons lived on the border Of
the Chinese quarter, and spent her life
in work among Chinese children. She
became very fond of her little friends.
and enjoyed her close relations with
the men and women of Chinatown.
She declared that they were a neg
lected and abused race, and her sym
pathy went out to them.
Then came the fire and her home
was swept away She was driven to
refugee camp near the Preside, and
still chose to make her home with the
Chinese, When the fire was out and
the ruins cooled, she returned to the
site of her old home, and now she is
living in a big tent there with her
Chinese husband. When asked by a
reporter if it was true she had become
the wife of Chinese, she said with
smile, Eyes, l am married and happy"
She wears a heavy jade band which
her husband placed upon the third fin
ger of her left hand. She said, at is
my wedding ring" Around her left
wrist is thick bracelet of the same
precious greenish hued stone. my
wedding bracelet" she explained.
Your husband, where is he?" Clean
ing bricks" was the reply. She lifted
her head proudly. "He earns 50 a
day. He works hard and uncomplain-
ingly. He is good and kind, but all
Chinese are good and kind to their
wives, for that matter.
do I love him? I think so. We
were married after the laws of his
country. Do not ask me when, how,
or where will not tell you. But you
have my permission, since you have
heard the truth, to publish the fact"
Ella Clemmons and her sister have
been estranged for years and did not
even spell their names the same way.
The California law does not allow the
marriage of whites and Chinese, hence
the wedding by Chinese rites was nee
essary.

Hetty Green's the Limit.

Hetty Green, the worlds richest
woman, is a homeless wandered. She
dare not take up her abode anywhere
for fear of the tax collector. Hunted
by the man with the tax list, she left
her home in the metropolis and took
up her residence in Hoboken, N. j.
There her quiet and frugal mode of
living was interrupted by the local tax
office bloodhounds, who again got on
her track, and she fed to the rural
peace of Bellows Falls, vt. In that
place all went happily until the tax
officers recently raised the valuation
on her place from $4,000 to $4,000.
This Mrs. Green viewed with horror,
and again it is announced that she has
given up her home and fed. This is
another instance of the fact that the
life of the frugal New York million
aire is not all beer and skittles. No
matter to what rural wilderness he
withdraws himself the Shylocks of the
tax office find him. And they seem to
insist upon treating him like any or
linary mortal subject of taxation and
