THE EVERYDAY HEROES.

Two Coloradoans and one citizen
of Wyoming were honored the other
day by the Carnegie Hero fund com
mission for acts of heroism.
One Coloradoan, Robert w. Meek,
gave his life in an attempt to save
friend from a gas filled mine at
Cokedale. His family is provided
for under the Carnegie benefaction.
The other Coloradoan, William
A Easton, braved the poisonous gas
es without helmet and carried
Meek's body from the shaft. He gets
a medal and one thousand dollars.
II, Burdette Martin of Thermopo-
lis. Wyoming, gave his life IN an at
tempt to save a woman from suffo-
cation in a sulphur mine. His family
will be provided for.
Evidently it requires no great
disaster, like the wreck of the Ii
tanic, to bring out mans nobleness.
Deeds of heroism that are not spec
tacular. and on which the limelight
of publicity does not play, are be
ing performed every day. In the
deep recesses of mines, in the
depths of forests, and in the whirl
of everyday life in great cities, men
are giving their lives for others as
cheerfully as the heroes of the Ii
tanic gave their lives for women and
childrel.
Every community has its Meeks,
its Martins and its Eastons. The
dramas in which they play are tab
loids in comparison with the grim
tragedy of the Titanic, but they
are none the less thrilling and in
spring.
1t is difficult to understand how
men can say that civilization is
retrograding when there are such
potential heroes on every hand. The
humble toiler with whom you rub
elbows in the street car, or yonder
prosperous looking citizen in his
motor car-each of them may have
the qualifications of heroism develop
ed to the highest degree. Let some
crisis arise and see how quickly
yonder slim young fellow on the
street corner would prove his man
hood. That gay saunterer who just
passed with smile and jest on his
lips. or yonder stern looking farmer
in his wagon-would they too, not
prove that men are brothers under
their skins" when there comes a
call on behalf of endangered hui
manity?-Denver Republican.
