Weiss dropped her apron, half filled
with flowers, vaulted over the four
rail fence and ran to the middle of
the road. She seized the bride of the
horse as it got abreast of her, and
held on, swaying back and forth and
saving on the bit, for more than a
hundred yards.
Quite similar to this was the dar-
ing act OF Mrs. George COrwin, of
Stamford. She seized the bit OF a
frantic horse dashing toward crowd
in the main street of Bridgeport, and
by her courage and presence of mind
undoubtedly saved the lives or limbs
of more than one person.
Miss Annie Barner hesitated not a
moment to risk a horrible death IN
der the wheels of Pennsylvania rail-
way train at Elizabeth, n. j., to save
the life of two-year-old Edward Cope
land, who had wandered to the track.
The speeding locomotive was almost
on him when Miss Barner climbed up
the steep embankment, seized the
child and dBew him out of danger.

Which is the brayer-man or

This is a question that nobody can
answer, for the simple reason that it
IS impossible to tell to what degree
OF heroism either will 90 when occa-
sion demands. A little girl of five,
rho under ordinary conditions would
scream at the sight OF a tiny flame,
will dash through confagration to
save the life of a baby brother who

young woman daintily clad and
afraid in her normal mood to go into
the water without holding to the life

trained life-saver.
Compared individually with mem
0ers of the opposite sex, women to-
day stand forth ahead, says the New
York World For instance, the sum-
rner girl and the summer man, classed
together in ordinary affairs, are far
apart when it comes to matters or
heroism. It is the summer girl who
shows "the real stuff when it comes
TO pinch.
All summer long there have been
young women who have performed
deeds OF splendid daring. Many of
them have not been reported in public
print.
This attribute Of bravery on the part
of our women is not new. This sum-
mers exhibitions Of it are only new.
And it is only meet that the story of
some of them should be told again.
When young Earl Buckley fell from
the pier into the sea ut Island Heights,

heard his cry. She screamed for help.
Then, Us she saw the lad rise and
sink out OF sight again, she plunged

and swan with difficulty. There was
still enough life in the boy when she
reached him and enough of desperate
terror to make him very dangerous.

University Authorities Worried.

Has the SUSPENSION OF football
caused decrease in the attendance
at Wisconsin university? This is a
question that is occupying the fac
ulty and regents of the institution.
No official figures have been given
out, but it is said that the enrolment
for the last two days has been close
to 400 less than at the same time last
year. The university was prepared
TO meet an increase of about 400, the
usual annual gain. The game has
always been most popular at the uni
