Who are the workers? Men who work

factories and warehouses? The rich

What is the consequence? That men

MISCELLANEOUS
Medals awarded to Heroes.

President Roosevelt has awarded a
| railroad life saving medal to Charles
Arms of GAINESVILLE, Tenn, for saving
the lives of two mail clerks and a bag
gageman in wreck on the Louisville
| and Nashville railroad last September,
when train ran through an open draw
of a bridge over the Cumberland river
While the cars were being swept down
the swift current of the river Arms
jumped up from his sick bed, where he
had been confined with malarial fever,
and without fully clothing himself ran
to the ferry landing and put out in a
small skiff, Offering $40 in vain for any
person who would go with him. He
finally reached the cars and succeeded
in taking off the injured mail clerks
and baggageman. The railroad has
already made Arms a present of $780,
and the postofice department applied
for medal under the act of 1905 pro-
viding for the awarding of medals for
life saving on railroads.
On the same day the president
awarded q medal of honor to Edgar e.
George of Parsons, Pa. for saving the
life of a Polish boy whose foot had be-
come fastened in frog on the Della
ware and Hudson track. An express
train was approaching when George
ran to the aid of the screaming lad
After making one or two unsuccessful
attempts to release the foot, and the
train being then upon them, George
bent the boys body down outside the
rail, forcing the imprisoned leg under
the engine cylinders and car steps,
which scraped their bodies as the train
passed. Beyond badly strained foot
the leg of the boy was unlnjured, and
1t seemed almost miracle that both
Of them were not killed.

the cathedrals in England or on the

and a breadth of 1872 feet. The tower.
to be known as Gloria In Excelsis, will
rise go feet and be circled near the

Rev. Charles f. Aked of the Fifth

preached his last sermon for the sum-

ting OF business troubles. He said that
the only medicine that would rest the
body and clear the brain was to be
found in the quiet places Of the coun-
try. He insisted that there had been
no time in the history of the world
when such counsel was more needed
than today, and no people on the whole
Garth who had more cause to heed it
and profit by it than ourselves. He
said we were living faster than men
ever lived before, and in our anxiety to
to earn our bread and lay by something
for rainy day we gave ourselves no
time to think.
