The BOY WHO KEPT HIS WITS.
By JAMES A. EDGERTON

There come times in the lives of
action are required, one false or hesi-
tating move perhaps meaning death.
These are supreme tests, and he
who keeps his head is the one who
comes out victor.
The old and hackneyed phrase for
the required quality in these crises is
presence Of mind.
It is akin to the power of rising to
an emergency which I'm fits highest form
amounts to genius. This has been the
making Of great men. James G. Blaine
is said to have possessed the attribute
in a crisis when brought suddenly face
to face with an unexpected situation.
We cannot all be Blaines, but pres
ence of mind is just as necessary to
the average man as to the unusual one.
Here is a story I clipped the other
day. It concerns a Cincinnati boy nine
years old. The lads name Is Gerald
Hopkins, and he showed Quickness of
thought in q striking manner.
A wild bull got loose from a stable
in the outskirts Of the city and created
q reign Of terror in some Of the fash
ionable suburbs as it dashed below
ing through the streets.
The Hopkins lad was caught in the
middle Of the street. There was NO
time to run away. Before he saw the
animal it was bearing down upon him.
For an instant the boy stood still,
apparently paralyzed from terror.
Then as the bull approached with
horns low, the lad took a quick step,
jumped clear over the head and play
ed leap frog along the animals back
from which he slipped and ran into a
house before the bull could turn around
BY keeping his wits the lad kept his
life.
The action required courage. Most
children would have tried to run and
been caught and gored in the attempt
1t called for resourcefulness and in
vention-the ability to meet an unusual
danger by an unusual method Of es
cape. But more than all, it demanded
auickness OF thought, will and deed.
The lad was all there. bringing his
whole mind to instant attention or
the problem that confronted him. Tha,
is what presence Of mind" means.
1t Is the same mental attribute By
which financiers often achieve fortune
orators gain debates and generals wiz
battles.
