HUMBLE HEROES.

Courage is required to lead a charge in battle or maintain posi-. ton under a hot caunonade. Yet the soldier has his comrades at either el- bow. he is inspired by the lust of bat. tie. he is under the eye of his feI- lows. A finer standard of courage is that which keeps lone men at their posts of duty, even at the sacrifice of life.
 Such was the heroism of one of the early Mississippi pilots who held the nose or his vessel against the shore until the passengers escaped while the flames destroyed the pilot house and burned him to cinder Such a hero was the railroad engineer in the great HiuNey fire some years ago who stuck to his throttle while his hands were slowly cooked. Another such man was the gallant rider who dashed ahead Of the Johnston flood. warning the people to safety, until the waters overlook him and swept him to death.
 When the liner Republic was sink ing Saturday, when the passengers aud crew were througing the life boats, the operator of the wireless telegraph stayed by his key and flash ed the reports of the disaster ashore.
 All honor to these humble heroes, No promotion or war medals for them no applause from the muIttudes, No martial music inspires their deeds no contagious courage carries them along. Actuated by an undertaking sense of duty they lay down their lives for their felIowmen. Such acts are inspiring. Such men are the highest types of heroes.
