LADS SAVE THREE LIVES.
Boys Push Passengers From Track at
Risk of Own Lives.

Elmer Remp and William O'Neil,
two lads employed at Dresbach to de-
liver city papers, saved three people
from almost certain death when two
passenger trains going in opposite d.
rections were passing the Dresbach
station at the same time.
The northbound train had stopped
at the station, had unloaded and load
ed passengers and express and was
pulling out when a southbound pas
senger train came bounding in on an
adjoining track. Mrs. Ida Maynard,
Peter Wacter and M. r. Gilbert, who
had alighted from the first train, were
making their way across track toward
the station and depot and did not no.
tice the engine bearing down upon
them. The two boys saw the danger
simultaneously and rushed to the
needless passengers and pushed them
from the tracks just in time to save
them from being hit by the locomotive.

Prescribes Eye for Eye.

Secretary Root relates the following
queer case of legal jurisprudence that
was told him by Turkish diplomat:
1t appears that mechanic fell from
a roof into the street upon wealthy
old Turk and killed him. The son of
the deceased caused the arrest of the
workman, who was uninjured, and
had him taken before the cadi, with
whom he used all his influence to have
the prisoner condemned
But the mans innocence was clearly
established and nothing could satisfy
the dead mans son save the law of re-
taliation. Thereupon the venerable
cadi grayely directed that the work
man be placed upon the exact spot
where the victim of the accident stood.
When this was done the cadi turned
to the son and said:
Nov, you 60 to the roof Of the
house, fall down upon this man and
kill lhimif you can. Chicago Chronicle.

Mans Limitations.

Ought it not be a source of conso-
lation to man to know that he pos
sesses the faculty of provoking discus
sion by his methods of handling matters
under discussion? Ought not this re-
suit be gratifying and should it not be
his aim when treating a subject to
keep this object in mind? A man who
thinks is valuable adjunct to society

al. it doesn't hurt my feelings one iota
to have him disagree with my opinions
and disagree vigorously.
lam still unconvinced that claimed
too much for the average man, in my
recent comments on this much-dis-
cussed personality, in the way of per-
sonal attainments. Any man who is
honest with himself must perforce
confess that he understands his own
limitations and abilities and there is
no question, if he possesses any judg-
ment at all, he understands himself
better than does anyone else on earth.
Let us pause for moment and pick
out a few average men. President
Roosevelt is q fair example; full of
energy, of strict integrity of purpose
and of undoubted courage, he stands
before the world as fair sample of
the courteous, educated, we'll bred
American gentlemen; one 1 believe who
fully understands his own abilities and
limitations. J.J. Hill is another; rug

friend who was deeply absorbed in
watching some children feeding pea
nuts to the diminutive white elephant.
As his friend approached be apprised
him that his deductions were correct,
in that her peculiar swinging motion
was a characteristic that could not be
mistaken, and that he never saw its
simile. (She had forward and back
ward with an alternate diagonal move
ment. Where the others have side
to side motion, with their head making
an oblique and semi-circular move
ment.) He went on to explain that he
had had charge of her while connected
with a email aggregation some fifteen
years previous, and that he had broken
her to do a single turn. She was the
only elephant with the outfit and the
menagerie consisted of merely a couple
of dens of "cats," cage of monks, a
few of led stock and cage of mixed
birds. Our conversation gradually
turned to their well-known retentive
memory. AS our discourse progressed
he waxed enthusiastic and became de-
slrous of proving their universally
acknowledged attribute = extraordi-
nary memory. By this time there was
quite a little gathering of attaches,
and the question was discussed pro
and con, which ultimately terminated
into practical test at the conclusion
of the performance.
After the concert, under her former
custodlan's directions, preparations
were made as nearly Identical to those
employed in her act fifteen years previ-
GUS. She was then brought into the ring,
exercised by her ci-devant trainer and
accustomed to the contrivances which
were necessary to the completion of
the act. At first she was apparently
surprised; hesitated at commands as
tho she was raking her mind for some
thing that lay dormant and which
necessitated an incentive to material
ize. After repeated commands her
faculties became operative and her
executions were almost perfect. She
performed them with such sanfroid
that it brought the acclaim of all of
those present and it was unanimously
declared that she lived up to her ap-
pellation.
Her erstwhile trainer was so delight
ed that he invited the participants to
partake of his hospitality (being he
was proprietor of hostelry) at the con-
clusion of the evening performance.
We accepted his kind invitation and
was accorded an hospital reception.

tisno disgrace to hold good opinion
of yourself; to make study of your tai
ents and mentally label and lay away
those you are convinced excel in your
own makeup and keep out of those
vocations for which you know you
possess no natural talent or ability.
The world never thinks no more of
you than you think of yourself; it is
law of nature that water never rises
higher than its source; this does not
mean that one is to be vain, arrogant,
or to think that he is most superior
person indeed, but it does mean that
one should stiffen his spine and hold
up his head.

are, and remember, always that the
world will never hunt you out and
drag you into the glare of the spot

the other haEd it will suffer you to re-
main in your obscurity, and open its

with thousand times more self-re-
spect than you seen to possess.
Any man who knows anything,
knows what he is. He knows what he
can do, and do as we'll, or just a little
bit better, than anybody else. He
knows, too, whether or not he is max
ing a daily struggle to make himself
more complete man, to thoroughly de-
velop his talent, instead of hiding it in
a napkin, and to do more finished and
better work.
The average man is not puffed up
with cOnceit or false pride, neither
does he muddle the waters of the
stream of life by false modisty. He
knows he is not the best man in the
world, neither the smallest nor the most
able, nor the most finished workman,
but he does know or can know, if he
will but put forth the proper mental
effort, just about what he is and what
he can do, and never, never will he
permit any living man to deprive him of
one iota of his self-respect or to render
him less than the fullest measure of
recognition that is his due; and in
conclusion want to say that any man
who cannot define his tastes, inclina-
tiOns and desires in music, art and lit
erature; who is not self-contained and
good naturedly tolerant of the world
and its foibles, who cannot admire a
beautiful woman, a good horse or we'll
bred dog is to be pitied. He has my
hearty sympathy. G. A. Y.
