BOY SAVES GIRL FROM
GETTING RUN OVER

Boy while walking on second and
Bainbridge saw a girl with basket
fall over the tracks while a car was
running. He ran into and picked up
the girl as quick as possibly.
Charles Schmidt, 12 years old. 125 Chris
tlan street. is the BOy-Hero Reporter.
'I don't know who the girl is" he said.
"She is a little bigger than me. She had
a basketful of things to eat. When
picked her UP she said Thank you, little
boy and when she rode away on a car
she waved her handkerchief at me.
was she pretty? You bet she was.
She had red cheeks on her and red rib
bons in her hair.
When asked why he had rashly risked
his life to save the fair one, the hero
said, IT am a Boy Scout"
Charles explained that 1t is the duty Of
a Boy Scout TO help others. He is yet
''tenderfoot." but in a few months will be
a full-hedged uniformed scout, II every

Charles may be fine timber for a scout,
but he doesn't amount to much as a re-
porter The heroic rescue happened Sat
urday. and ne didn't tell the city editor
until today nor did he learn the rescued
damsels name.
But a Boy Hero can't be expected to
report his own story perfectly. at that

Calamity Howling and
Kindred Ills in Address

Miss Ida NJ. Tarbeu. noted writer and

She outlined her remedy to the Poor
Richard Club this afternoon In one short
sentence: "The best way TO prevent war

in the work of calamity bowling and grave
forebodings to work"
Miss Tarbell was received with great
enthusiasm by the Poor Richards an
ordanizstion OF advertising men. In clear,
short and illuminating phrases she told
them how to take full advantage OF the
opportunities now before them in the
way Of increasing business and elevating
the industrial life OF the United States.
Miss Tarbell branded those persons who
allowed themselves to be thrown into
q state OF fear and confusion by the Eu-
ropean war as towards"
There is nothing so contagious as fear
and cowardice." said Miss Tarbell. 'Tf
everybody IN the United States was COM

Hiss Tarbell said: There has been an |

Being a Santa Claus in these days ia /,
no slnecurel
Once upon time the jolly, corpulent
gentleman known variously as Kris Kin
gle, ST. Nicholas and Santa Claus, was
pictured as leading a jovial If somewhat
Industrious life up in his sky-high work
shop, where the fire always burned
brightly and the wind never penetrated.
Nowadays he stands on the cold street
corners from morning until night and
tinkles his little bell and taps his tam
BOURNE for the sake of drumming up
trade enough to provide Christmas din
ners for his fellow man. And Jack Frost
gets after his toes and his nose and Mr..
North Wind gets under his red flannel
suit and filings it scornfully to the breeze,
and Santa, instead of looking the pros
porous, well-fed parsonage of the nur-
sery jingles, takes on pinched and
blue appearance, which does not match :
his costume.
mo, indeed, this Santa Claus business
amt no cinch," said Market street
Kris Kingle, pulling his long white beard
discreetly aside, SO as to be the better
understood. Every day from the fst
OF December until Christmas we stand
here from in the morning until in
the evening, with only 20 minutes off in
the middle of the day for our dinner
Sometimes at night my feet is so sore
from II that ! almost cry from the pain,
and my wife she has to bathe them
and fix me up for the next days work.
But times are hard and they pay us
well. A dollar and quarter day they
give us. Yes, indeed, a dollar and a
quarter, and where can man whose
been thrown out OF work go and get a
job that'll pay him that much?"
