Heroism in Con m on Life.

We need not go back to ancient days
nor read of Marathon and Thermopylae
to call muster roll of heroes. The
daily papers furnish stories of heroism
which stir the blood and lift US above
the commonplaces of the sordid days
into purer atmosphere. Two young
girls, classmates and dear friends, lost
their lives by drowning at Wellesley,
Mass, one summer day lately. One
ventured beyond her depth; the other,
who could swim little, forgot her own
safety and struck out to save her
friend. Both persisted, but the one
who tried to save the other was as much
heroine as if she had succeeded. A
fire occurred one july day in tene-
ment in Brooklyn. James McGrath, q
fireman, climed to the height of foul
stories, walked on a narrow ledge
through the heat and smoke, and with
incredible courage, in the face of terri
BILE danger, saved an old man who was
i'll and unable to help himself from i'm
pending death. The crowd on the side
walk called to McGrath to come back
but he pressed forward and rescued the
man, counting not his own life dear
Both were saved.
A woman in great peril caught upon {
Ferris wheel and suspended between
earth and sky, was rescued the othel
day from her plight by a workman
named John Carroll. He had a crippled
left hand, but managed notwithstand
ing this to reach the woman and drag
her into safety. The man who sees
what to do and does it with quick pres
ence of mind and with complete uncon
seriousness of self is the modern hero
He may be policeman, an engineer, {
telegraph operator, coast guard, ;
signal service man, or anybody un
known to fame, but the stuff of which
heroes are made is in him. -Margare

The books are not injured in the least

AUTUMN TOURISTS FOR VERMONT.


We referred few days ago to the
excellent work of the Central Vermont
railways passenger department in CO.
operation with the New Haven railway
passenger service in advertising the
autumnal beauties of Vermont's hills
and valleys. 1t is gratifying to note
that these railway lines are now re-
peating the undertaking which has
evidently passed beyond the experiment.
al stage. They are now advertising in
greater New York and some other cities
the annual autumn excursion to YER
mont and Lake .Champlain, to enable
the people of New York, Brooklyn and
large cites in Connecticut to come to
this region during the balance of Sep
TENDER and the fore part of October
when the autumnal tints on our hillsides
and in our valleys will be most brilliant
and beautiful. Tickets have been made
from September Is to October 6, inclu-
sive, and will be good returning until
October 81.
1t is also gratifying to note that a
number of hotels and boarding houses
in Vermont have co-operated in this
commendable movement by giving re-
duced rates to holders of these excursion
tickets. Cards containing details have
been furnished in large numbers to
hotels and boarding houses to be mailed
to former guests and thousands have
been sent direct from the headquarters
Of the railroads.
The tourist business to Vermont and
Lake Champlain resorts has been larger
this season than ever before, we are
glad to say, and there's every reason to
expect that it will go on increasing every
season, as the attractions of this whole
region become better and more widely
known.
Some of the people of Vermont have
little idea of the marked benefit which
ourState derivesfrom theannual sojourn
of tourists and summer residents.
Colonel Ilsley, who has done so much to
promote the development of Middlebury
and Addison county's agricultural in
terests through the Addison county
fair, came into Vermont as a summer
visitor, but he was so captivated by the
beauties of our green hills that he be-
came a permanent resident and, we
may add, a permanent benefactor of
our people, for the whole State has
profited from his splendid service.
Colonel Ilsley is only one among many
who might be named in this connection,
but it is evident from what has already
been said that we should endeavor in
every way to attract visitors to Yer
mont. - Burlington Free Press.

What the impelling motives can be
in such crimes as placing distractions
on railway track is a mystery. The
man Hayden who first gave informa a.
ton to the station agent at Middlebury
about the presence of the distractions
on the Rutland track turned out to be
the culprit who did the fendish deed.
When pressed to explain why he did it,
the fellow was unable to do so. He
was held in $1,000 bail to await the

too large in the circumstances. Rutland

Marie Dressler, the actress, wired
