The summer has produced many
little girl heroes. The prompt and
brave action of 11-year-old Fannie
Haskowitz, of No. 81 Hopkins street,
Brooklyn, saved the life of her four
year-old sister Julia. The children
were crossing the street, when Sum-
Fannie had crossed safely, when she

of the car and carried beneath it to

Dragged Sister from Flames.
And think of Rena Etson, five years
old, who walked into a fire in the
street near her home at Battle Creek,
Mich, and dragged her three-year-old
sister from the flames. The brave
deed was done with cool delibera-
tion not often found in older persons
on similar occasions. She did not
call out when she saw the danger to
her little sister, because she was
afraid she would scare her to go
further into the fire." The baby was

the road. She seized the bride Of the
horse as 1t got abreast of her, and
held on, swaying back and forth and

Quite similar to this was the dar-
ing act of Mrs. George Corwin, Of

by her courage and presence of mind
undoubtedly saved the lives or limbs

Frantic Struggle for Life.

Then came a frantic struggle for
life. She struck the boy in the face
and tried to choke him. His weight
and her heavy clothing bore them far
under the surface. When they rose
again she put forth all her strength
to drag their weight nearer the shore,
where the shadows would give her q
foothold. Her efforts were successful
and thus she brought the boy to land,
and together they fell on the beach,
exhausted.

who under ordinary conditions would

A young woman daintily clad and

Compared individually with mem
bers Of the opposite sex, women to-
day stand forth ahead, says the New

mer girl and the summer man, classed
together in ordinary affairs, are far
apart when it comes to matters OF
heroism. 1t is the summer girl who
shows ''the real stuff' when 1t comes
to a 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-
mer's 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 at Island Heights,
N. j., only Mrs. V. Floyd Campbell
heard his cry. She screamed for help.
Then, as she saw the lad rise and
sink out of sight again, she plunged
into the water. She was fully clothed
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.
He grabbed Mrs. Campbell, and with
arms around her neck and legs twined
about her body, clung with death
grip.

Ell everything in its path and as
result practically the entire town is
a mass of ruins, only three buildings
now standing, at least eleven persons
are dead and a number are injured.
The tornado was followed by fire,
which consumed the wreckage.
This report was sent from the top
of telephone pole mile from Belle
yue, but it was as close as a wire
could be had. The town of Belle.
vue consisted of over 200 houses.
Among those who are known to
have been killed are: R. L. Russell,
wife and four children, A. D. Card,
Tom Mount, w. w. Bell, candidate IL,
county treasurer Of Clay county. Two
members of the Gray family. Seriously
injured: Two daughters Of ~. E.
Smith of Bowie, Mrs. Gault, Mr.. Gray
and seven members of his family, two
Of whom have since died; Mrs. Nc
Graw.
The whole business section of the
town and all stocks of merchandise
were destroyed.
The tornado was a mile wide and
travelled over the earth for a distance
of eight miles, leveling everything in
It's path, running crops and destroying
all farm houses and barns on the way.
This section is thickly settled and it
will be some time before there are
complete reports Of the dead.
The fact that so few was killed Is
accounted for by the fact that prao-
tically every house was equipped with
a storm cellar and the people ran
to them as soon as they saw the tor
nado approaching. Those who had
no storm cellars or who could not
reach them were the ones who suf-
fered. Last winter many lives were
lost in the same neighborhood by a
tornado.
Conservative estimates place the
loss between $4,000 and $175,000.
The inhabitants Of the town are not
only homeless, but without food or
raiment and utterly destitute, all their
possessions being swept away. Re-
lief is being fastened to them from
neighboring towns.

VETS CHOOSE. RICHMOND
As Place of Next Confederate Reun-
ion-Business Session Closes With
Reelection of Old Officers.

The formal business of the sixteenth
reunion of the Confederate Veterans
came to a close in New Orleans Thurs
day afternoon. One day of the reuu-
ion proper was left and that was de-
voted to the parade of the veterans
Friday morning.
Richmond, Va, was selected as the
place for holding the next reunion,
the choice being made by acclamation.
The only competitor of Richmond was
Birmingham, Ala, but the sentiment
in favor of Richmond was so strong
that the advocates Of Birmingham did
not allow the matter to come to
vote AID withdrew in favor of Rich
mond before a roll call was ordered.
The fact that the monument Of Jeffer-
son Davis is to be unveiled in Rich
mond next year was a potent inf1u-
ence with many Of the old soldiers,
and they were all exceedingly anxious
to hold their next meeting in that
city.
The reunion, viewed from a busi-
ness standpoint, was very uneventful.
The chief new measures Of import
ance to be adopted were one which
will recommend to the different states
that pensions be paid to slaves now
living, who followed their masters 20
the war, and one which declares in
favor Of the setting apart Of one day
in the year by each camp of the Or
ganization for memorial services in
behalf of the confederate dead.
The day closed with a great ball
in honor of the visiting veterans,
which was held in the auditorium on
Thursday night.
With the exception of the time con-
sumed by the presentation to General
W. L. Cabell of a gold medal by the
veterans of Arkansas, the second day
Of the reunion was in it's opening
hours devoted strictly to business, the
reports of the committee on creden-
t;als, the battle abbey and historical
committee being received and approx
ed. The presentation Of the medal to
General Cabell was made the occasion
of IN enthusiastic outburst of affec:
tionate regard for that grizzled veter-
an, which deprived him of speech for
a few moments, and nearly overmas
tered him entirely. Quickly recover
Ing, however, he expressed his graft
tude in a few words Of deep appre-
citation, which were to the effect thai

nal from his old comrades.
The following resolutions were re-
ported and adopted:
THAT any camp which has failed
to pay it's per capita tax for five years
may have it's charter suspended after
due notice has been given, provided
that any member Of a defunct camp
may retain his membership by pay
fng his annual dues to the camp near
est his place Of residence.
THAT all subordinate camps hold
annually in the month of January
memorial services in honor Of the
dead Of the camp who have died in the
preceding year.
"That oil camps be urged to use
every effort to raise funds for the
monument to confederate women.
"That the action of the grand CAMP
Of Confederate Veterans in the de-
partment Of Virginia, in attempting to
preserve the earthworks in and aroun7
