HEROISM RECOGNIZED.

The annual award has Just been
made of Carnegie hero fund medals
and prizes. 1t is a significant phase of

heroes are young men and women, in
dicating that persons with older heads
and more prudence do not take these
risks.
Apparently the recipients of these
prizes are mostly obscure persons. AS
the people who do thinge are little
given to talk, it is probable that they
would attract less than the average
