W0MEN's DEEDS OF BRAVERY.
Examples of Presence Of Mind and
COURAGE Are Manu.

Examples of Presence Of Mind and
Courage Are Many.
To come down to more modern
times, the stories of the bravery dis
played by woman in our own Indian
wars are enough to thrill the coolest
blood.
Sometimes woman left alone to
look out for her children would be
attacked by a band of Indians. She
would barricade the house and try in
every way to repulse them, and when
all else failed would shoot first her
children and then herself.
In the Civil War and in the war
with Spain there we're hundreds of
women who wanted to go to the front
as nurses; in fact, more. volunteered
than could be used. They were will
ing to face any danger if they could
only minister to the sick and suffer
ing.
And everyday heroism is often
greater than that of the battlefield,
where patriotism inspires bravery.
What could be more heroic than the
action of the nuns in the fire at st.
Mary's Hospital at Jamaica, L. T.?
One of the sisters discovered the
fire in the hospital stable and her
prompt action saved the hospital
She called up police headquarters
and had the night operator sound the
alarm and send assistance; then she
rang the gong that awakened the doc
tors.
If this isn't bravery it would be
rather interesting to have bravery
defned.-Chicago American.

Disease with Pleasing Possibilities.

Disease with Pleasing Possibilities.
New diseases of one sort or apother
are always cropping up as new condi-
lions give them an excuse. The latest
is autorosis, and it is really quite the
thing to have. You get it driving a
motor car. Only the real hero behind
a $1,25 pair of goggles can have it.,
and it is said to begin with burning
sensation in the head and a dinaess
of vision. This is followed by a dull
ache all over the body ana constant
fear of danger. So great is the power
of the disease that passing shadow
on the roadside is said to cause the
suffering chauffeur to throw in his
emergency brake and bring his car to
dead stop. It is never right to hope
that a disease will become an epi-
demic, but there are certainly POSSIBLE
tiles in autorosis-Springfield, Mass,

Always Demand for Those Who Can
Grade 100 Per Cent.
Edward Mcintyre Of Brooklyn was
drummer boy in the Thirteenth New
York regiment at the age of II on the
outbreak of the civil war in which he
served. Since then he has been thir-
ty-seven years, consecutively, a mem
Der of the National guard in Brook
Ign. He has just now resigned the
post of drum major of the Thirteenth
regiment During all this time his rec
ord has been that of 100 per cent,
which means that he was never alb
sent from his post The Brooklyn
Standard Union says:
There would be little trouble and
few problems in the world if every
man performed 100 per cent of duty
in business and personal relations, in
public and private affairs. In any list
of the most useful citizens the really
Indispensable ones would be found to
be of the type of the drum major of
the Thirteenth. Many people who
are temporarily conspicuous could

OF whom the country is proud. It is
not surprising that Edward Mcintyre

Don't Use SIanu.

"A lady used the expression Gee
the other night" says an exchange.
It had never occurred to her that this
was taking the name of the Lord in
vain, and probably few of many who
indulge in sugar-coated profanity re,
alize that they are swearing. What is
Gee" though, but a euphemism for
"Jesus?" Dear me- is nothing but
the Latin "Deo Meo" (My God), For
Goodness Sake" is only for Goods
Sake'' "Drat it" is "God rot it,
Judas Priest" is "Jesus Christ" "Gol-
ly," Gosh" Glory" etc., are only va.
riations of Damn it." In short, there
is probably not an expression of this
sort that cannot be tracked to an oath
for it's origin.

colored Man Amply Proved He Had
Sense Of Fear.
Not many years ago Col. Prescott
OF Portland, Me-, had negro servant
who, he claimed, did not know what
fear was. One evening while the
colonel was with friends a bet was
made that number of those present
could scare the negro.
About IL o'clock on the night ap-
pointed for the attempt Col. Prescott
called his servant to his study,
and in harsh voice ordered him to
go to tomb II in nearby cemetery
and bring him a skull.
With jolly Call right, massa," the
servant set off.
In the mean time the other parties
to the bet had secreted themselves
in the tomb and awaited the arrival
of the negro.
AS soon as the servant entered he
cropped around and picked up a skull.
Put that down; that's mine,'' came
another voice out of the darkness.
Nothing daunted, the negro laid 1t
down and picked up another.
Put that down; that's mine," came
another voice out Of the darkness.
He laid that down, and exclaimed:
"Golly, somebody owns all these
skulls, but I'm going to have this one,
anyway and, picking up another
skull, he ran out of the tomb.
The men in the tomb were pretty
much frightened themselves by this
time, and started after the negro, who,
without turning around, ran straight
for his masters house. Rushing into
the study, he laid down the skull, ex-
claiming: "Massa, here's the skull;
the bones are coming after.''

Blanche, being of an inquisitive turn

from the sap
The explanation was not convincing

Is Disease a Crime

Not very long ago, popular magazins
published an editorial article in which
the writer asserted, in substance. that all
disease should be regarded as criminal.
Certain it is, that much OF the sickness
and suffering of mankind Is due TO the
violation of certain of Natures laws.
But to say that all sickness should be
regarded as criminal, must appeal to
every reasonable individual as radically
wrong.
1t would be harsh, unsympathetic,
cruel, yes criminal, to condemn the poor,
