There is good deal Of heroism
in the world OF the sort that gets
into the public eye and receives med
ais as reward, as the giving out OF
63 such tokens of gold, silver or
bronze by the Carnegie hero fund
commission attests, comments writ.
er in the Boston Transcript There
is more of the splendid stun indeed
than even the firmest believers In
human natures good qualities would
quite think possible without all the
gratifying figures at hand to prove its
existence. And when one reflects that
the heroism which may be known of
all men Is only about one-thousandth
part as great as the sort that never

makes one feel that the world and
