A0OUI TAN1 M.CANN.
Remember how brave Kate Shelly
crawled across a bridge in Iowa sew
eral years ago and saved the North
western limited?
Her heroism has been celebrated in
song and story.
A fit companion piece to that heroic
deed, heroically done, is the story Of
the rescue Of nine children by Mary
Mccain, recently awarded a medal by
congress.
1t was five years ago, and Mary was
then but fourteen years of age.
She sat in her invalid's chair that
day on the veranda Of q cottage on
North Brother island convalescing
from an attack of scarlet fever.
Listlessly the girl watched an ex-
cursion steamer loaded TO the guards
with Sunday school children, colors
flying and band playing, as It cut the
blue waters.
And then came On awful explosion.
Fire and fame seemed to burst from
every part Of the big boat. And then
clouds OF smoke enshrouded the scene.
The fearful cries Of women and chill
dren arose. The boat{was turned and
beached on the sands far out from the
shore.
A crowd gathered, and a few. boats
put of to the rescue. People on shore
wrung their hands as they saw women
and children drown before their eyes.
And Mary Mccain, invalid?
Why, the physicians had said that in
her weakened condition she must be
kept very quiet.
And this was the answer of the lit
tie maid: She ran to the water, waded,
leaped, swan through the surf She
caught child that had jumped from
the burning vessel into the water
dragged the little one ashore and
turned 1t over to willing hands.
Then she turned back on another
mission Of rescue.
Nine times did the brave girl go, and
each time she brought back a half
drowned child!
This did Mary Mccain, heroine, that
June day, 1904. ,
And after five years congress, which
is as slow about rewardlng hero med
ais as 1t is IN revising the tariff, pre-
scented, through its presiding officer, a
medal to Mary Mccain.
She has grown since that day of, the
explosion of the General Slocum into
a woman and is a student nurse at a
Washington hospital.
Isn't it fine?
And do you wonder that old Joe
Cannon when he gave her the medal
stopped and kissed the lips of Mary
Mccain?

FOR YOUR HEALTH'S SAKE
KNOWLEDGE is LIFE.

Much of the misery and suffer
ing in the world Is caused by Ig-
norance. Many Of the eplden1lcs
Of disease that have killed tens
of thousands OF human beings
could have been prevented II only
the people had known what was
necessary to be done to prevent
them. knowledge, then, is more
than power; 1t is life itself.
It should be quite clear, then,
that If people will only take an
interest In matters affecting their
health and try to find out what
to do to keep we'll, there will be
much less sickness and, of course,
fewer deaths. The one dlscour-
aging feature Is that In every
community there are always a
few who will not be taught, even
by the forceful lessons Of expo
Renee; and these unteachabie
people are a source of danger.
Health officials have their greatest
troubles with people who will not
be taught how to properly protect
either their own or their neigh
bors' children, by cooperating
with the department TO prevent
the spread of contagIon.

The Time to Sneak.

A young fellow in Bloomington, Ill,
who has been devoting himself for
some years to a young woman of that
town, recently found himself in
most embarrassing situation just as
he had taken his courage in both
hands and was going to ask the girl"
Harriet" said he. as he shifted his
feet uneasily and swallowed the lump
in his throat. I'm anxious to have
you"
Yes. Mr.. Hummer" gently inter
posed the young woman, by way Of
encouragement.
'Well-er-Harriet." he again be-
gan. with increasing nervousness. I'm
anxious to have you"
Just then both parents of the young
lady entered the room where the low
ers sat.
"Oh. Mr. Hummer" said the desper-
ate girl, what was it you were just
telling me?"-Harper's Weekly.
