and many of the tales of heroism I'M
folded are thrilling.
For years have the special agents of
Mr.. Carnegie been travelling from
coast to coast investigating acts of
heroism and bravery, but they have
never developed a story which appeals
more strongly to the human feelings
than that of Mary R. Brown, a trained
nurse of Washington, who was fatally
: shot ten months ago trying to prevent
one of her patients from killing mem
bers of his family. Her patient, in
crazed delirium, sought the lives of
many, but got only hers. The Car
negie Hero commission after an ex-
haustive investigation of this case gave
to Agnes Brown, mother of the dead
nurse. silver medal and $50 per
month for life, or until further notice.
Miss Brown was attending Martin l..
Sterling of 619 c street S. W., in
Washington, while he was suffering
from typhoid fever. Mr.. Sterling's
case was very severe, and Monday
evening, December 20, 1909, found him
deiirious- Finally he became quiet and
Miss Brown, thinking him asleep, went
to the kitchen to prepare some food
for him.
On her way back she met Sterling
with the light of madness in his eye
and a revolver in his hand. He shot
her as he came on, the ball passing
through her breast and lodging in the
muscles of her back. Sterling then
went on toward the kitchen where his
family and members of the household
were. Miss Brown. though weak and
| stunned from the bullet wound, cried

| of Sterling, who was temporarily in
sane.
Fought With Crazed Man.
SUIT in the room with the mailman
and cut of from help, the nurse began
fight which she felt must be to the
death. Hurting herself on Sterling be
fore he could fully turn from the
closed door she pinioned his arms fol
i an instant, but she was no match fol
the crazed man.
i Three times she was thrown on, and
three times she closed with the mad
man in the struggle to disarm him
Finally with her strength fast waning
she managed to get at his back and
grasp him by the arms
I Inch by inch she worked her hands
down his arms toward the pistol, never
relaxing her hold though the pail
writhed and struggled around tht

THE EDUCATIONAL RALLY

Ihere may be differences of opinion as to
the means, but there can scarcely be any as
70 the desirability of giving the children
the best possible opportunity for education.
Inc greatest incentive to accomplishment in
TINS direction is an ambitious desire of the
child to climb above the ordinary and to take
seat among those who have won honor,
Iame and applause. Emulation Of those who
have the admiration of the world exceeds
the most coercive measures in the develop
ment Of the character and intellect of the
child, and with this in view it is the duty of
every parent, every citizen, to dignity as far
as possible all efforts for the advancement
OF education and to give distinction to every
gathering meant to leave it's impress upon
the children of the schools
There is to be an educational rally in Gov
ington on the 23d of April, under the aus
pices Of the School Board. Superintendent
Peters, it's secretary, has labored diligently
to give it the distinction it should demand.
The gathering will be addressed by Governor
Sanders, DR.. J. B. Aswell and others. It is
highly important that the occasion should
bring together the very best element Of our
town and the surrounding country. There
will be lauch Of interest to be learned from
the speakers, but the stimulus to the school
children who witness the tribute paid to
learning and distinction and the attention
given to the cause of education will exceed
all other benefits in effect upon the accom-
plishments of the schools. 1t is to be hoped,
therefore, that everybody will aid in making
the rally success and in giving proper
reception to our distinguished guests.

Lopez, Pat is not generally con-
'idered in the hills of Pennsylvania
that the woodchuck, or grounding, is
as much to be feared as the black
bear, but after the experience with
three of these animals by aged Leroy
Schmery Of the Bella Sylvia country
no one will deny that the creatures
are far from being the peaceable fell
lows natural history usually depicts
them to be.
The Bella Sylvia territory, which Is
an immense stretch of wild land rum
ning from Sullivan county into Wyom-
ing, Is famous grounding country,
owing to the prolific crops of buckle
berries and blackberries that grow
upon 1t, and on which the groundhogs
ind rich food. Groundhogs weighing
90 pounds have been caught In that
lection, and the animals killed there
are of flavor beyond that ascribed

Old Mr.. Schmery has for many years
gone into the Bella Sylvia country on
blackberry expeditions. He and some
other parties several years ago built
a log hut across depression formed
by the source Of spring, so that by
a little digging quite respectable
space was formed, and in this they
kept their berries stored for week
or more at time while on a picking
expedition, adding each days harvest
to the cellar stock, then at the end of
the week loading them on wagon
and hauling them home. During the
deer and bear hunting season this
shack is used for shelter for the
hunters.
A short time ago two men who were
on their way into the Terrell lumber
woods passed the Huckleberry lodge,
as the hut is called, and were attract.
ed to the little cellar underneath 1t by
the means of man. They found Mr..
Schmery lying on the ground, his
hands, arms and face mass of
scratches and cuts and his eyes so
badly bitten and swollen that he
could not see. A bushel or more of
blackberries were strewn over the
place.
Schmery said he had taken a pail
of berries into the 'dugout," but be-
fore opening the door his attention was
attracted by a peculiar squealing,

ing in the shadowy cavern, although
the moment the door was opened the
sounds stopped.
Fortunately, the stick with which he
had carried his bucket of blackberries
over his shoulder was within reach,
ana with this he began hit or miss
battle with his enemies. 1t was not
long before he fortunately made a
good landing on one of the creatures,
but in the excitement of the fight he
slipped and fell. Before he could re-
gain his feet he was attacked by the
companions of the slain animal and
was bitten In the face and on the
arms and hands. So fierce was the
onslaught that he was practically help
less. They bit his eyes. and how long
the pesky things kept up the battle
the old man could not tell, for he
thinks he must have become uncon-
scious. partly because of the fumes
of the fermenting blackberries and
partly because of the pain inflicted by
the animals.
He made no further effort to get out,
for when he came to the animals had
gone. The woodsmen who heard him
