BRAVE DEEDS THAT HAVE
WON CARNEGIE MEDALS


New York--Two years ago Andrew
Carnegie conceived the novel idea of
discovering and rewarding true hero
ism wherever it may occur. For this
purpose hero fund commission was
appointed whose preliminary lsbors
have now been completed Deeds of
daring whether by land or sea, in the
effort TO save life. have received due
recognition in this way, while the
task of the commission has resulted.
besides, in bringing together a series
OF little tales of human pluck, endur-
ance and self-abnegation. the reading
of which is bound to give an uplifting
sense OF some of the noblest qualities
of men and women when brought face
to face with the peril that, at some
supreme moment. threatens the lives
of their fellow beings.
OF the 63 cases of heroism which
the commission, after prolonged and
careful investigation. has deemed
worthy of public recognition, the fol-
lowing have been selected on account
of the novel human interest which
characterizes them. They tell of the
courage and humanity of men. women,
and even children, in all walks of life.

States. Not every hero thus chron-
icled has succeeded in the rescue that
he has planned. while numbers have
lost their own lives in the effort to
save the lives of others. 1t forms

among human annals, and may be
taken as true and lasting tribute to
the self-sacrificing love of man for

years ago by one of those freshets
that so often occur in that part of the
country. In its course the flood had
torn an unwleldy barge from its
moorings. Alone on board was How
ard Mccartney. a youth who could not
swim. His old-time friend. James w.
years on a towboat, saw the flying
barge. knew that Mccartney was on it.
and knew, too. that the runaway yes
sci was heading for a great dam
short distance below on the river. 1t
meant certain death to Mccartney II
some quick act was not carried out to
save him. Gilmer jumped into a skin
and raced after the barge. Mccartney
had long start of him. and the sound
of the waters foaming over the dam
reached Gilmer before he was well
under way in his little craft. He
hoped to get near enough to the barge
for McCarney to jump into the skiff,
and then together they could row to
the shore. But the barge was going
too swiftly. in the eddying currents
the slfiff was too unmanageable, and
before he could reach him Gilmer saw
his friend hurled over the rapids
above the dam. So appalled, was he
at the fate of his friend that he forgot
his own safety. He floated down to
the danger point, jumped from the
skiff into the boiling flood-and the
dead bodies of the two friends went
down the river side by side. A bronze
medal and 5000 has been awarded by
the commission to Gllmer's father in
