A Woman,s Herolsm.

History has presented few examples
Of greater heroism than that Of MI s.
8. J. Rookie, the telephone operator Of
Folsom, N. NJ, who when warned by a
resident of the hills to flee for her life
from the flood speeding to engulf the
valley, rejected the opportunity to
save herself and employed the hour
that interviewed between the warning
received and her own death by drown
ing In calling up subscribers by tele.
phone and acquainting them OF their
danger. More than 40 families have
already acknowledged their lives
saved through the magnificent cour-
age of one frail woman, whose life
.ess body, with the telephone head
piece still adjusted to her ears, was
found IL miles down the canyon.

Exit CARSON NOT FORGOTTEN.
Many Traces Of the Famous Scout In
the Southwest.

Every American in whom a spark OF
romance is alive knows the name
Exit" Carson, says the st. Louis
Globe-Democrat. And the majority OF
us began young to know it, for Life
and Adventures Of Kit Carson" was
among our choice boyhood books. To
be Exit" Carson was and long witt
be boyhood's ambition. Quick to act
and never known to boast" is the Car
son epitaph, and one that any boy may
we'll emulate.
Exit" Carson, this greatest, perhaps,
Of American scouts and frontiersmen,
can be claimed by old Missouri. To
be sure, he was born in Kentucky,
but he was only year in age when
the family removed to historic How:
ard county, which, although now in
the center of civilization, at that time
was exposed to savage beasts and In.
dams.
Howard county in the '20s grew too
tame for him, and his apprenticeship
to a saddler, David Workman, "a good
name), waxed uninteresting. The call
Of the wilder wilds was insistent, and
when he was II he joined a Santa Fe
caravan. He already was an excellent
shot, a proficient hunter and a strong.
alert, steadfast youth, -.
In November, 1926, he turned up at
Fernandez de Taos. now of north
eastern New Mexico, then of Mexico
itself. Here today are to be found
many traces of him, for Taos was his
rendezvous and home through 40
years. At Taos he and his wife are
buried.
The house which he occupied for
many years while he was Indian
agent still stands and also the low
adobe structure containing his office.
In Taos lives Alloys Scheurich, Car
son close friend, holding whose hand
the scout died, and Mrs. Scheurich, the
scouts niece.
The doings of Kit" Carson after
his arrival in what is now New Mex
leo have been faithfully recorded and
embodied In print. But unfortunately
his boyhood in Howard county seems
vague. 1t Is to be hoped that the right
effort will result in more information
concerning this not unimportant Pc
riod of his life-the crucial period real
ly. He was we'll schooled in all the
perils and vicissitudes and lore of
frontier life and he extended his To-
Gale, according to hazy report, by
hunting buffalo with the Sioux. His
knowledge of the Sioux tongue after
ward stood him in good stead.
He is a character of whom Missouri
may be proud. His honors apparently
are untarnished by the vices so prev
alent in his rough and ready day.

More LiheraIitY.

The religious as we'll as the secu.
lar press appears to be adopting a
more liberal tone in the matter of
moral instruction in the public schools.
More stress is being laid on the prin-
ciple of ethical instruction In all its
branches, and they seem to be yield
ing the contention, so long and 30 stub
bornly maintained, that theology must
be taught in the public schools. That
morality in its broadcast sense should
be an important feature Of instruction
none has gainsaid, and that sound
moral basis will lead to a religious
life is beginning to be conceded on
ell sides. Given the moral basis at
school. the child will develop religious
beE. home in the direction of his
environment and in accordance with

Love and Envy.

The highest love is ever quickest
to detect the failures and inconsis-
tencies OF the beloved. Just because
If Its intensity it can be content with
nothing less than the best, because
the best means the blessedest, and
1t longs that the object of it's thoughts
should be most blessed forever. It Is
a mistake to think that green-eyed
jealousy Is the quickest to detect the
spots on the sun, the freckles ON the
face, and the marring discords in the
music of life; love is quicker, more
microscopic, more exacting that the
ideal should be achieved, Envy Is con-
tent to indicate the fault, and leave 1t
but love detects and waits and holds
its peace Until the fitting opportunity
arrives and then sets itself to remove
the defect.-The Angelus.

Mr.. c. TRAVELLED IN SMOKER.
Driven There by Somewhat Embar.
RAISING Happening In Pullman.

Mr.. c.. distinguished lawyer OF
Boston, was on his way to Denver
to transact some important business
During the afternoon he noticed, in
the opposite section of the pullman,
sweet-faced, tired-appearing woman
travelling with four small children. Be-
ing fond Of children and feeling sor-
ry for the mother, he soon made
friends with the little ones.
Early the next morning he heard
their eager questions and the patient:
yes, dear" of the mother as she tried
to dress them, and looking out he saw
small white foot protruding beyond
the opposite curtain. Reaching across
the aisle, he took hold Of the large
toe and began to recite: This little
pig went to market, this little pig
stayed at home; this little pig had
roast beef, this little pig had none;
this little pig cried wee wee all the
way home" The foot was suddenly
withdrawn and a cold, quiet voice
said: THAT is quite sufficient, thank
you" ....s.-. ,s. .
Mr.. G. hastily withdrew to the
smoker, where he remained until the
train arrived in Denver.-Good House

cars he was shifting. he ran his engine TO
a point along the river about opposite to
