The awards OF the Carnegie hero fund
have brought out at least one story that is
good reading. Rufus X. Combs of Midway,
Ky, was awarded a silver medal and N,5O0
for saving tho life Of Richard Godson, a
bitter rival and political enemy. Godson
had entered a vault to test gas making
apparatus and was overcome by the fumes.
Friends and relatives we're afraid to enter
the vault. When he declared his intention
of going in Combs was pulled back and told
that Godson was dead and that he would
surely lose his own life II he attempted to
recover his body. There may be some life
In him." declared Combs as he pulled away
and entered the vault. He carried his
enemy to the door OF the vault and then
fell unconscious. Both men recovered and
are now the stanchest friends. Asked why
he had rlsked his life for his most bitter
enemy Combs replied: Because ! love a
fighter who fights fair and Godson always
did that"

The late Senator NJ. s. Quay of Pennsyl-
vania was bitterly opposed to the renomina-
ton Of President Harrison. Quay main
tained that Harrison could not be reelected
and the result showed the correctness of
the Judgment. During the convention at
Minneapolis, when Quay was trying TO
name anybody but Harrison, one Of Haui-
sons friends went TO Quay and said; "Sena-
tor, why is II you dislike President Harri-
son so thoroughly" well" Quay replied,
zone reason is this, Harrison never does
exactly what you want him to do. He al
ways puts some embarrassing trimmings
on. Should you ask him 10 lend you s. he
would not do that. Instead he would hand
you 34T5 or S5.25."

This r. TO record the deed Of an honest
man. Ills name is Augustus @. Paine,
and Thomas Bracket Reed made him ad -
miuistrator Of his estate. When Mr. Reed
died IN 1902 the approximate value OF his
estate was $4,000 Last week Mr. Paine
made an accounting TO the widow and
showed her that she was worth 10000
which represents the original investment
holdings Of the estate and the profts from
these and other investments made by Mr.
Paine. The greater part OF the estate left
by the former car OF the house was in
railroad securities, and Mr.. Paine as OK
ecutor had entire charge Of turning these
into cash. When asked about the Reed
estate Mr.. Paine confirmed the report Of
It's size. and added: 1T is true that Mrs.
Reed IL now In very comfortable circum-
stances. Whatever l have done for the
estate l have done gladly. Mr.. Reed
was one OF my greatest friends Mr.
Paine lie not known in Washington. where
friends Of the late speaker abound by the
hundred. but II he should come here there
IL no doubt at all that he would be well
coined by them as an honest man. Mrs
Reed is now living in the old family home
at Portland. Me. Her only daughter not
long ago married a captain in the army.

webstcr's Remarlls to 'the Fish.

Though this should be enough to support
conclus.vely the contention that incidents
or Mr.. Websters great achievements prove
the close relationship between fishing and
the Hottest attachments Of mankind, relates
Grover Cleveland I'm his book, this branch
Of our subject ought not to be dismissed
without reference TO a conversation once
had with old John Attaquin, then a patri-
arch among the few survivors Of the
Msshpee Indians. He had often been Mr..
Webster's guide and companion on his fish
Ing trips and remembered clearly many of
their happenings. l. was with a glow of
love and admiration amounting almost 20
worship that he related how this great
fisherman. after landing large trout on
the bank Of the stream, talked mighty
strong and fine to that Ash and told him
what a mistake he had made, and what a
fool he was to take that dy, and that he
would have been all right II he had let It
alone" Who can doubt that patient search
would disclose, somewhere in Mr.. Webster
speeches and writings, the elaboration, with
high intent, Of that mighty strong and
fine talk addressed to the fish at Mashpee?
