ONLY A SECTION HAND.
Bv EDWIN A. NYE.


A few days ago Frank Angelica
died the hero's death.
Section hand? A hero? Yes. and he
was an Italian only year over from
the old country and just twenty-one.
1t was on the Panhandle railroad.
near Steubenville, o. The young man
was walking the track when he noted
little schoolgirl in danger of being
run down on another track by a
freight train.
BY shouting and gestures he induced
the girl to get of the track just in
time to save her But
So intent was Angelica in saving
the girl that passenger train unno-
ticed bore down upon him and crushed
out his life.
That Is one story of heroism in our
common life. everyday heroism. Here
is another:
Not long ago Mexican section hand
on the Santa Fe railroad in New Mex
leo saved the lives of hundreds of pas
sengers on limited train.
The section men had been repairing
the track. and all was supposed to be
right. The heavy train was bearing
down on the section gang when sud
denly little bent Mexican discovered
something wrong with rail.
He saw that if the rail was not fixed
the train would be wrecked. He jump
ed to the place and spiked it. And
Before the little old man could get
away the engine struck him and threw
his poor. mashed body into the ditch.
Inside the train men lol!ed and read
and smoked and women talked to one
another. all unconscious of their quick
deliverance.
And the little old Mexican died in
the ditch.
One of these section hands was fresh
from the vineyard slopes Of southern
Italy; the other had wife and chill
dren in old Mexico. and they were
, heroes. both.
Surely. And If you have ever looked
| disdainfully on "daso" or classed all
''greasers'' as cutthroats be ashamed
of yourself and of your intolerance of
race.
ANY of us should be proud to claim
kinship with these so called common
men" there are no common men in
the eyes Of the Father, as white on the
inside as you or the president of this
country.
God hath made Of one blood all
the nations of the earth" and into the
soul Of every people he has put the
godlike.
Is it not SO?

Items Gathered in
From Far and Near
Mr.. Jerome.
From the New York Sun.

From the New York Sun.
There are few men probably to
whom the coming of the new year was
more welcome than to the Hon. Will
liam Travers Jerome, for whom it
marked the close of eight years of
public service as district attorney of
this county. OF the permanent value
of these services to the people of this
community the present is manifestly
not the time to speak. Passion and
prejudice have done much to obscure
accurate public appraisal of the value
of Mr. Jerome's recent years. Already
however, those for whose opinion Mr..
Jerome could rightly care have come
to be certain that in all his public
acts he had the approval of his own
conscience and followed course con-
sistent with his own conception of
public duty. BY those for whom ex-
pediency and personal interest are
controlling motives Mr.. Jerome is now
and perhaps always will be held to
have missed a great chance. By 9th
ers who view the great questions OF
his administration from a position not
his, he is and possibly may long be
held to have made grave mistakes;
yet we believe that he will at no dis
tant time be recognized generally as
a man who did what he conceived to
be his duty consistently, bravely and
with no regard for the effect of his
course upon that career which his
friends and his critics alike had pre-
pared for him.

'EcOnomiZe!" somebody said
The notion made hit.
I found when summer days had fled
That last years clothes would fit,
And joy within my bosom thrilled
When discovered that
With help from renovators skilled
1 might wear last year hat.
But browning enterprise Of all
BY which we utilize
The things we had both great and
small,
OF every shape and size:
We find with sentiments OF cheer
Which bid us smile again,
The resolutions made last year
Will do for nineteen ten!

WAS DEvOURED
BY CANNIBALS
A Presbyterian Missionary
Was Eaten by the Ma
tives of the Savage
Islands.

London, May 3l.-The rtgic mes
sage from Seattle announcing that the
Reverend Horatio Hopkins and the
Reverend hector l.. Mcpherson, Pres
byterian missionaries. have been eaten
by cannibals ON Savage Island dispels
the popular idea that canibals are ex-
tinct. Missionaries still run terrible
risks in the work TO which they devote
themselves.
a graphic story of the canibals of
the Fiji Islands is told by the Rev.
Joseph Nettleton.
Mr.. Nettleton spent thirteen years
of n life of missionary work among
these cannibals,, and saw some of his
colleagues killed and eaten.
1T is 4 common mistake to think
that those men eat human beings be,
cause of hunger" he said "Cannibal-
ism is thcir religion. The ovens in
the temple where they cook their hu-
man sacrifices are never used for any
other purposes.
Il once Witnessed the capture of a
white victim. He was surrounded

along to the temple, where he was
dashed with terrific force against u,e

Because the cannibals say at once.

and they act accordingly"
/ The Rev j. Calvert, another of Mr..
Netteton's colleagues, had a narrow
escape lie was surrounded by can.

should be killed BY miracle his life
was spared.
My friend pleaded till he was

was of no avail. Suddenly one of the
cannibals remembered that Mr. Cal
