THE TEDDY BEARS GO TO AFRICA

President Roosevelt told the Teddy
bears he was going to Africa. They
were all very sad, but he said that
they could go with him.
AS they landed at Africa they ran
into the forest and peeked around the
trees.
President Roosevelt seeing them
shot every one OF them. Poor little
bears will never see Americas shore

His Life
To Save Child
LITTLE ONE STOOD LAUGHING
AT THE FAST COMING
TRAIN.

WHEELING, March Outstanding
on the pilot OF a passenger train that
the engineer in vain was trying to
stop, Fireman Luddon, of Newark. o..
saved littlec hild from certain death
on the B. and o. track west of Bellaire
Monday morning.
A little girl, about four years old,
was walking on the track. She paid
no attention to the whistle of train
No. IS, east bound. Gazing uncon-
cernedly, wonderingly. she walked
towards the oncomlng death.
Engineer Scott Robinett saw the
child and at the same time heard a
woman's frantic cries. AS he piled
the brakes, he saw the mother rush
ing towards the child.
Threw Passengers From Seats.
The mother could not get to the
child in time to save 1t. The child
paid no attention to her cries. Laugh
ingly, she gael open.mouthed, her
bright blue eyes shining with de-
light 'at the train.
Roblnett worked like a demon at
the throttle. Passengers were thrown
from their seats as brakes grated
along spark-emitting wheels. Scared
persons looked out of windows, and
saw thrilling rescue.
Heroic Fireman's Act.
Fireman Duddon knew no human
power could stop the train. Without
a word he quilted the cab and hast
lily clambered over the engine. He
got on the pilot in time to grab
up the child and save it from the
cruel wheels.
She looked at him still with her
wondering look in her face. Then an
almost distracted mother ran up,
fairly snatched the child from the
hero's arm, and, hastily thanking the
fireman, took still wondering child
home.
The train came to a dead stop
few feet beyond where the manglel
remains would have been picked up
had not Luddon proved himself a
hero.
